Tissue Transplantation01:24

Tissue Transplantation

341
Tissue transplantation is a significant medical procedure involving the transfer of cells, tissues, or organs from a donor to a recipient, with the primary aim of restoring lost functions. This procedure is crucial in treating a broad spectrum of diseases, including kidney diseases, liver failure, heart disease, and certain types of cancers.
The Biology of Tissue Transplantation
The biology of tissue transplantation hinges on the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) molecules. These molecules...

Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy01:30

Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy

173
Endoscopy is a non-surgical medical technique used to examine a person's internal organs and vessels. This lesson will focus on two types of endoscopic studies: bronchoscopy and thoracoscopy.
Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due...

Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis

206
Thoracentesis(Thoracocentesis), commonly known as pleural tap, is a medical procedure where a 22 gauge needle is inserted into the pleural space, the area between the lung and chest wall. This procedure is commonly performed to diagnose or treat various respiratory disorders.
Description
Excess pleural fluid or air may accumulate in some respiratory disorders in the thoracic cavity. To treat pleural effusion, a physician conducts thoracentesis by carefully piercing the chest wall and entering...

Bone Marrow Sampling and Transplants01:22

Bone Marrow Sampling and Transplants

286
Bone marrow transplant is a potential cure for several diseases, including cancer and specific genetic disorders. Notably, this procedure is applicable for patients suffering from aplastic anemia, certain types of leukemia, severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID), Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple myeloma, thalassemia, sickle-cell disease, and certain cancers.
The transplant begins with high doses of chemotherapy and radiation treatment, which aim to destroy...

Area of Science:

  • Transplant Pathology
  • Patient Education
  • Medical Humanities

Background:

  • Cardiac and pulmonary allograft recipients have a unique need to understand their pathology.
  • Patients frequently interact with laboratories for allograft surveillance.
  • There is a demand for better patient comprehension of explanted organ pathology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address patient curiosity about explanted organs.
  • To enhance patient understanding of transplant pathology.
  • To raise awareness of the pathologist's role in ongoing transplant care.

Main Methods:

  • The "On My Path" program facilitates pathologist-patient interactions.
  • Interactions include private organ viewing and pathology discussions.
  • Patients receive a 3D model of their explanted organ.

Main Results:

  • 158 interactions documented from 2017-2022.
  • Program involved cardiac (61%), lung (34%), and heart-lung (5%) transplant recipients.
  • Coordinators reported increased patient understanding and emotional closure.

Conclusions:

  • Direct pathologist-patient interaction is a feasible model for transplant recipients.
  • 3D organ models empower patients and increase satisfaction.
  • The program enhances understanding of pathology's role in transplant care.
