Oxygen consumption is a quality marker for human oocyte competence conditioned by ovarian stimulation regimens.

2011

Objective To evaluate the effect of different ovarian stimulation protocols on oocyte respiration and to investigate the relationship between oocyte oxygen consumption and reproductive outcome. Design Prospective observational cohort study. Setting Infertility clinic in a university hospital. Patient(s) A total of 349 oocytes from 56 IVF treatment cycles in our oocyte donation program. Intervention(s) None. Main Outcome Measure(s) Average oocyte oxygen consumption rate in fmol/s. We correlated oxygen consumption values with ovarian stimulation features, fertilization, embryo quality on days 2 and 3, and implantation. Result(s) Differences in the measured oxygen consumption rates were found …

Should kidney allografts from old donors be allocated only to old recipients?

2020

Contains fulltext : 226016.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) In several deceased donor kidney allocation systems, organs from elderly donors are allocated primarily to elderly recipients. The Eurotransplant Senior Program (ESP) was implemented in 1999, and since then, especially in Europe, the use of organs from elderly donors has steadily increased. The proportion of ≥60-year-old donors reported to the Collaborative Transplant Study (CTS) by European centers has doubled, from 21% in 2000-2001 to 42% in 2016-2017. Therefore, in the era of organ shortage it is a matter of debate whether kidney organs from elderly donors should only be allocated to elderly recipients or whether <65-y…

The WFH Haemophilia Centre Twinning Programme: 10 years of growth, 1993-2003

2003

The World Federation of Haemophilia (WFH) Twinning Programme celebrates its tenth anniversary this year. Twinning is one of several international WFH programmes designed to improve haemophilia care at a global level. There are two types of twinning, and the haemophilia treatment centre twinning programme should be distinguished from the WFH haemophilia organization twinning involving national member organizations. The WFH Haemophilia Treatment Centre Twinning Programme helps emerging haemophilia treatment centres develop partnerships with well-established and experienced centres. Twinning can improve diagnosis and clinical care through coaching, training and transfer of expertise, ultimatel…

Fat and liver transplantation: clinical implications

2018

Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), with or without hepatocellular carcinoma, is a growing indication for liver transplantation (LT) worldwide, particularly in the Western world. Patients with NASH typically combine features of metabolic syndrome with cardiovascular comorbidities, which challenge pre-LT evaluation, surgical approaches, post-LT management, and outcomes. Post-LT survival in NASH patients is excellent, similar to that achieved with other indications, particularly in the absence of cardiovascular comorbidities. Although disease recurrence on the liver allograft is common, progression to advanced disease is uncommon, at least in the short term. Whether this holds true with long…

Embryologic outcome and secretome profile of implanted blastocysts obtained after coculture in human endometrial epithelial cells versus the sequenti…

2008

Objective To compare embryologic and clinical outcomes in terms of preimplantation development, implantation, pregnancy rates, and secretome profile of implanted blastocysts from the preimplantation genetic diagnosis program grown in sequential versus endometrial epithelial cell (EEC) coculture system. Design Retrospective clinical study and prospective experimental study. Setting In vitro fertilization clinical unit and university research laboratory. Intervention(s) Blastomere biopsy, embryo culture, blastocyst transfer, and protein analysis of the media conditioned from implanted embryos obtained from coculture and sequential systems. Main Outcome Measure(s) Clinical study: blastocyst, i…

El apoyo social con pacientes de Leucemia

2012

El apoyo social a personas con enfermedades graves y en tratamiento hospitalario ha sido desarrollado en buena parte por organizaciones sociales, siendo un ejemplo de ello ASLEUVAL. En este sentido se ha desarrollado un trabajo social con características propias, impulsando la acción social en las entidades para permitir generar una red de protección social a los pacientes y sus familias complementarias e imprescindibles de la actuación desde los hospitales.

Omosessualità ed esclusione sociale nella donazione di sangue: divieti permanenti e divieti temporanei come fattore di discriminazione

2016

Around the world, as a consequence of the contamination of the blood supply by HIV and Hepatitis C and B in the early 1980s, public and private blood banks have required blood donors to complete a donor health assessment questionnaire to identify various risk factors for sexually transmitted diseases including, for men, the act of having sex with a male partner. In this latter case the policy provides for a permanent or temporary ban on donation. This deferral policy, which aimed to protect recipients of blood and blood products, in recent years has been subject to criticism in so far as this exclusion seems to be an unfair discrimination against gay men on the basis of sexual orientation. …

Natura e caratteristiche del consenso al prelievo di organi e tessuti da cadavere Un raffronto tra Italia ed Inghilterra

2018

The essay deals with the deceased donor organ donations and, in particular, with the nature and the features of the consent which authorizes the removal from the body of a deceased person of any relevant material. The analysis is conducted through the scrutiny of the relationship that exists between the choice about to be or not an organ donor and the social interest to obtain a rapid increase of organ donation. The essay makes a comparison between the Italian and the English legal approaches to the freedom of deciding the allocations of removed organs, with a special regard to directed donations.

Donación y deliberación: El lugar de la caridad en la ética empresarial

2010

El artículo analiza algunas aportaciones de la encíclica Caritas in veritate (CiV) a la ética social contemporánea. Una aportación de gran valor hermenéutico porque integra tres categorías centrales en la ética contemporánea: globalización, deliberación y donación. Dedica especial atención al concepto de caridad en la primera y tercera parte del trabajo, primero analizando la presencia de este concepto en la ética social reciente en términos de des-privatización, después muestra la emergencia de la caridad en la ética empresarial. Entre las aportaciones que realiza la encíclica a la ética empresarial nos hemos detenido en las que afectan a las formas de gestión organizativa y que hemos llam…
