Disease relevance of Artificial Organs

In future, haemoperfusion will probably consist of sorbents added to an ultrafiltration or dialysis device to form a hybrid artificial organ that will combine sorbents suitable for removal of urea, phosphate, etc., and will be a useful treatment in the routine management of end-stage renal disease [1].

High impact information on Artificial Organs

This technique could be important in plasma exchange or cross-exchange and in artificial organ support if it could be accomplished safely using heparin as the anticoagulant [2].
With the advent of cyclosporine, artificial organs, and organ-assist devices, the possibility of suitable patients with end-stage organ disease becoming successful transplant recipients has increased dramatically [3].
Mechanical degradation of polyacrylamide solutions as a model for flow induced blood damage in artificial organs [4].
The early years of artificial organs at the Cleveland Clinic: Part I: artificial kidney and kidney transplantation [5].
The ICMT (International Center for Medical Technologies) Museum for Artificial Organs (Museum) was completed after phase I, II, and III expansions of the exhibit booths, which were made over the last two years [6].

Associations of Artificial Organs with chemical compounds

Synthesis of ascorbic acid by this artificial organ could not, however, be detected by elevation of plasma concentrations of the vitamin [7].

Gene context of Artificial Organs

Approximately 250 historically important and currently widely used artificial organs are exhibited in the Museum. The official opening of the Museum was coordinated with the "Symposium on Artificial Organs: Past, Present, and Future" during two days in November [6].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Artificial Organs

Ionex has the adsorption capacity of 70 mg/g (weight by desiccation) for heparin, and was used in an attempt to remove the heparin from blood-perfused artificial organs, before the blood was transfused back into the patients [8].
