The goals of the Japanese chapter of the Transplant Recipients International Organization are to act as a mediator in the provision of mutual aid to transplant recipients, candidates, and their families and to provide education in both the public and professional arenas to promote organ transplantation in Japan. Since 1991, members of the Japanese chapter of the Transplant Recipients International Organization have acted as volunteer facilitators for more than 150 transplant candidates and recipients. The organization's activities have included fund-raising to cover the costs of transplantation, preparing an original donor card for distribution, and petitioning members of the Diet (the Japanese legislative body) 14 times, including speaking at public hearings twice and submitting a petition requesting early passage of the organ transplant bill. The Japanese Diet finally passed an organ transplant bill in June 1997. The activities of the Japanese chapter of the Transplant Recipients International Organization have contributed to the promotion of organ transplantation in Japan and to understanding and support for transplantation within the Japanese community as a whole.

The year 2010 was a milestone in the history of transplantation in Hungary. The State Secretary for Health Issues announced a program in order to solve the serious problems of organ transplantation: 1) to increase waiting lists, 2) to raise donor numbers, 3) to establish a lung transplant program in the country, 4) to promote education and increase the knowledge base regarding transplantation for the public and the medical profession, and finally, 5) to begin negotiations for Hungary to join Eurotransplant. Joining Eurotransplant has been a priority of the transplant community. Finally, this year saw the Budapest Transplant Center perform 20% of their kidney transplants from living donors, up from a 5% frequency historically, an operation which is available in all four centers from this year.

Donor Organs

This paper attempts to provide burdens insights into the problem of shortage of donor organs for transplantation and offers a prescription of a new approach to obtaining organs from individuals who have just died. The fundamental theses advanced here are that there is a need for education of the public, and especially the youth among the people, to the fact that their commitment to consent to use organ for transplantation represents an insurance policy for their own future health and that organ transplantation is a needed part of expensive medical care, not unlike other modalities of treatment. Central to this educational strategy are two concepts: 1. erase the concept of the integrity of the cadaver, focusing instead on the usefulness of the organs of the cadaver to solve a societal need; 2. to establish, as a principle, that the use of cadaver organs means to share a source of health for humankind.

Introduction In the early 1980s, comprehensive developments in the public health system as well as markedly improved possibilities for organ transplantation due to the introduction of immune suppressants,2 namely, the artificial prevention of organ rejection, led to a sudden expansion of transplantation medicine in the Near and Middle East. Long-term artificial respiration, along with improved and expanded intensive care units, enabled respiration and circulation to be maintained despite the partial or complete loss of brain function. This, in turn, secured the necessary blood supply to the organs until they could be removed. Against this backdrop, a comprehensive process of discussion on the factual connections between postmortem organ transplantation and the criterion for determining brain death developed.

Immunodeficiency Virus

In sum, much more needs to be known about the issue of transplantation in HIV-infected patients before the current state of extremely limited access to transplantation for these patients can be medically and ethically justified. Approaches to remedy this situation may include well-designed outcome studies; revision of existing local, regional, and national policies to better reflect the current state of knowledge; and education of clinicians, patients, and the public about this topic. Nurses can effect change in this area as informed clinicians, patients' advocates, researchers, and policy makers.

AbstractIf we want psychological science to have a meaningful real-world impact, it has to be trusted by the public. Scientific progress is noisy; accordingly, replications sometimes fail even for true findings. We need to communicate the acceptability of uncertainty to the public and our peers, to prevent psychology from being perceived as having nothing to say about reality.
