 For the first time, scientists have demonstrated that growing humans organs in other species could be possible. In a recent study, researchers successfully injected human stem cells into a pig embryo. While the developing embryo was "highly inefficient," the stem cells developed into the precursors of heart and liver cells. Even though that embryo — dubbed a "chimera" — would not have survived, it's the most successful combination of two large, distinct animals to date.

An air ambulance was recently used for the first time in Bengaluru for an intra-city organ transplant. The heart of a 45-year-old woman in Apollo Hospital on Bannerghatta Road, was flown into MS Ramaiah Narayana Heart Centre in Mattikere in just seven minutes.

Deep-freezing donated organs might one day help improve the transplant supply but scientists must first figure out how to thaw the delicate tissue without it cracking. Now researchers are taking a first step toward that goal, using nanotechnology to create super heaters for preserved tissue.
University of Minnesota researchers call their approach "nanowarming," and they reported Wednesday that it safely and rapidly thawed larger amounts of animal tissue than today's tools can.

 Not long ago, nurse practitioners seemed mostly to be employed in physician offices, community and university health centers, and so-called "minute clinics." In the midst of a growing shortage of primary care physicians, there is much in the news these days about NPs moving even more deeply into primary care. Concurrently, the growing presence of APRNs in the acute care setting is raising eyebrows among physicians and providing patients with more opportunities to receive hospital-based care from highly qualified nurse practitioners.

A man became one of just four people in the world to survive multiple organ transplant surgery in a bid to beat his incurable cancer.
Adam Alderson was told by doctors his rare peritoneal cancer, pseudomyxoma peritonei, meant he was just weeks from death.
But the 37-year-old has defied the odds by surviving 17-hour ground-breaking surgery which required 30 people working shifts to remove the 10kg tumor.
