organ transplant: Encyclopedia - Immune system

The immune system is the system of specialised cells and organs that protect an organism from outside biological influences. (Though in a broad sense, almost every organ has a protective function - for example, the tight seal of the skin or the acidic environment of the stomach.) When the immune system is functioning properly, it protects the body against bacteria and viral infections, destroying cancer cells and foreign substances. If the immune system weakens, its ability to defend the body also weakens, allowing pathogens, includin ...

organ transplant: Encyclopedia II - Practices of Jehovah's Witnesses - Medicine and health

The Witnesses' teachings in general promote a healthy lifestyle. Magazine articles in the Awake! oftentimes discuss ways of maintaining both mental and physical health.

organ transplant: Encyclopedia II - Interleukin 2 - Physiology

IL2 is normally produced by the body, and is secreted by T cells. IL2 stimulates growth and differentiation of T-cell response. It can be used in immunotherapy to treat cancer. It enhances the ability of the immune system to kill tumor cells and may interfere with blood flow to the tumor (PMID 9384490). IL2 is necessary in the activation of T cells. When a CD4+ T cell binds to a APC using CD28 and B7, the T cell starts to produce IL2. IL2 is needed in the activation of both ...

organ transplant: Encyclopedia II - Blood transfusion - History

Roman Catholic authors take pains to discredit the contemporary chronicler Stefano Infessura's story of Innocent VIII's deathbed. In 1492, as the Pope sank into a coma, the harrowing story was told that, at the suggestion of a physician, the blood of three boys was infused into the dying pontiff's veins. They were ten years old, and had been promised a ducat each. All three died. Historians of medicine note this event as the first report ...

organ transplant: Encyclopedia II - JC virus - Epidemiology

The virus is very common in the general population, infecting 70 to 90 percent of humans; most people acquire JCV in childhood or adolescence (Padgett and Walker, 1973). It is found in high concentrations in urban sewage worldwide, leading some researchers to suspect contaminated water as a typical route of infection (Bofill-Mas et al., 2001). Minor genetic variations are found consistently in different geographic areas; thus, genetic analysis of JC virus samples has been useful in tracing the h ...

organ transplant: Encyclopedia II - Kaposi's sarcoma - History and theories

The disease is named after Moritz Kaposi (1837–1902), a Hungarian dermatologist who first described the symptoms in 1872. Research over the next century suggested that KS, like some other forms of cancer, might be caused by a virus or genetic factors, but no definite cause was found. With the advent of the AIDS epidemic, KS, as initially one of the most common AIDS symptoms, was researched more intensively in hopes that it might reveal the cause of AIDS. Some researchers suspected that HIV itself directly caused KS; others thought t ...
