Arguments for ‘ocular donation’ as standardised terminology to reduce the ‘ick factor’ of ‘eye donation’
This brief report presents the global problem of the shortfall of donor corneal tissue for transplantation, a potential root cause (‘ick factor’ language), and a potential solution (modification of ‘ick factor’ language). Specifically, use of the term ‘eye donation’ is a potential hurdle to ocular tissue donation as it can stimulate the ‘ick factor.’ Verbiage such as ‘ocular (eye tissue)’ could be a method of providing terminology that is less em…
Applying safeguards of research integrity to unethical organ donation and transplantation
TEST 02 - Elsevier's Scopus, the largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature. Search and access research from the science, technology, medicine, social sciences and arts and humanities fields
The carnage of substandard research during the Covid-19 pandemic
Worldwide there are currently over 1200 research studies being performed on the topic of COVID-19. Many of these involve children and adults over age 65 years. There are also numerous studies testing investigational vaccines on healthy volunteers. No research team is exempt from the pressures and speed at which COVID-19 research is occurring. And this can increase the risk of honest error as well as misconduct. To date, 33 papers have been identi…
The Use of Visual Arts as a Window to Diagnosing Medical Pathologies
Observation is a key step preceding diagnosis, prognostication, and treatment. Careful patient observation is a skill that is learned but rarely explicitly taught. Furthermore, proper clinical observation requires more than a glance; it requires attention to detail. In medical school, the art of learning to look can be taught using the medical humanities and especially visual arts such as paintings and film. Research shows that such training impr…
Technology- and Policy-Based Strategies for Increasing Supply of Deceased Donor Livers
Some technological and policy strategies for increasing organ supplies are ethically and legally proven to work. Consider best next steps for global education efforts to raise organ donation awareness
International Access to Clinical Ethics Consultation via Telemedicine
Clinical ethics consultation (CEC) is a service provided by clinical ethicists (or sometimes, clinical ethics committees) to enhance patient care by identifying, analyzing, and resolving ethics dilemmas in clinical settings. CEC has long been offered as part of health care services in the US, but it is less common in other countries, perhaps because of a lack of trained personnel due to limitations in the number of clinical ethics fellowships. A …
Assessing the Motives of Living, Non-Related Donors
Transplant centers cannot regulate how people establish relationships, but when a donor-recipient pair comes together through Internet solicitation, the center must assess the donor’s motivations carefully
Case Study
Elective Inactivation of Total Artificial Heart Technology in Non-Futile Situations
Total artificial heart technology as a potential clinical therapy raises the issue of elective device inactivation in both futile and non-futile situations. This article explores elective device inactivation in non-futile situations. In reply to such requests for inactivation, the medical team should reflect on the individual's decision-making capacity, the clinical appropriateness of the therapy, and the setting of the request (clinical research…

Contemplating Total Artificial Heart Inactivation in Cases of Futility
Though currently an experimental technology, there is the potential for implantation of 100,000 total artificial replacement hearts each year in the United States once regulatory approvals are obtained. Although these devices are intended to lengthen life and improve its quality, clinical scenarios can emerge in which the device is no longer serving these goals and termination of life support, including inactivation of the implant, must be contem…
