Extractions: Here are two versions of the Stanford Heart Transplant data. The first is from Kalbfleisch and Prentice (first edition) while the second is from from Crowley and Hu. The two versions are slightly different, and the X matrix is sufficiently ill-conditioned that the variations make a big difference. Thanks to Terry Therneau for noticing the problems and providing both data sets. ================================================================ Stanford Heart Transplant Data Taken from "The Statistical Analysis of Failure Time Data" by Kalbfleisch and Prentice, Appendix I, pages 230-232.

A bone marrow transplant may be done for several conditions including hereditary blood diseases, hereditary metabolic diseases, hereditary immune deficiencies, and various forms of cancer. The healthy bone marrow may be taken from the patient prior to chemotherapy or radiation treatment (autograft), or it may be taken from a donor (allograft). Description Return to top Bone marrow is a soft, fatty tissue inside the bones. This is where blood cells (red blood cells, platelets, and white blood cells) are produced, and where they develop. In a disease of the blood cells especially cancers such as leukemia high doses of chemotherapy may be required to destroy the cancer. However, this also destroys normal blood cells. In other cases in which hereditary or acquired disorders cause abnormal blood cell production, transplantation of healthy bone marrow may correct these problems. Transplanted bone marrow will restore production of white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets.

Extractions: Medical Services Health Information Appointments Education and Research ... About Type 1 diabetes is a condition in which your pancreas produces little or no insulin, a hormone that allows sugar (glucose) to enter your cells. Treatment for type 1 diabetes is a lifelong commitment of monitoring blood sugar, taking insulin, eating healthy foods and maintaining a healthy weight. For some people, however, insulin therapy and healthy lifestyle choices aren't enough. The pancreas releases enzymes into your small intestine to break down nutrients. It also releases hormones into your bloodstream to help your body use glucose. One of these hormones, insulin, lets glucose enter your cells. Glucose is a main source of energy for the cells that make up your muscles and other tissues. Without insulin, glucose can't get into your cells. Lack of insulin can lead to potentially fatal complications. High blood sugar, which can eventually damage your blood vessels and other tissues, is a particular concern. Your eyes, nerves and kidneys are particularly susceptible to this damage.

Read Greg's story Read all patient stories Bone marrow transplant (BMT or blood and marrow transplant) is offered at all three Mayo Clinic locations. Begun in Rochester in 1982, the bone marrow transplant program expanded to Jacksonville in 1992 and Arizona in 1993. The BMT program follows the Mayo Clinic vision of a unified system on multiple campuses. The transplant teams at all three clinic sites use similar policies and procedures and participate in identical research protocols. The bone marrow transplant program at Mayo Clinic is one of the largest and most experienced in the world. BMT team physicians are hematologists/oncologists who have experience and expertise in treating and caring for patients undergoing bone marrow transplant. These physicians are also members of other disease-oriented groups at Mayo. Therefore, they can help evaluate patients based on their extensive knowledge of specific diseases as well as their understanding of transplant.

BBC News | HEALTH | Frankenstein Fears After Head Transplant
A controversial operation to transplant the whole head of a monkey onto a different body has proved a partial success.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/1263758.stm

Extractions: A controversial operation to transplant the whole head of a monkey onto a different body has proved a partial success. The scientist behind it wants to do the same thing to humans, but other members of the scientific community have condemned the experiments as "grotesque". Professor Robert White, from Cleveland Ohio, transplanted a whole monkey's head onto another monkey's body, and the animal survived for some time after the operation. The professor told the BBC's Today programme how he believes the operation is the next step in the transplant world. And he raised the possibility that it could be used to treat people paralysed and unable to use their limbs, and whose bodies, rather than their brains, were diseased.

HEAD TRANSPLANT. Paul Pietsch, PhD, Professor Emeritus, Indiana University web contact pietsch@indiana.edu. Here s a salamander, known as an axolotl,
http://www.indiana.edu/~pietsch/head-transplant.html

Extractions: Indiana University web contact: ... pietsch@indiana.edu Here's a salamander, known as an axolotl, with the entire head of another axolotl sticking out of its right eye socket. The grafted head, which had been transplanted from an embryo, developed normally with two anatomically perfect eyes and a snapping set of jaws. The transplanted head could actually grab onto a worm, but couldn't swallow it because it lacked the rest of its feeding equipment. The host was a larva at the time of the operation, and it went on to live for several months after this picture. The graft remained healthy too. Actually, the operation had a very mundane original purpose. I wanted to get radioactive isotopes into the embryonic cells that eventually make the eye muscles of the donor; that would have involved injections, several per individual, which the delicate, yolk-ladened belly of the embryo wouldn't have tolerated. Instead, I thought, I'll graft embryonic heads to larvae before the eye muscle forms; then after the donor takes, I'll just inject the stuff into the host's abdominal cavity, whose tissues are much more rugged than the embryo's. In theory, the idea seemed fine. Practice was something else. The isotope experiments called for lots of cases. But only a small percentage of the few dozen pilot operations yielded intact heads. In most, the embryonic head, while it took, sustained major damage before the eye socket developed; most results were nothing like the specimen in the picture, to say the least. To get the required numbers, I estimated, I'd need more animals than exist in the stock of the

Bosley Hair Transplant
As the demand for hair transplant surgery continues to increase, more and more businesses are being developed that offer hair transplant services.
http://www.bosleyhairtransplant.com/

Extractions: Although hair loss in men is a fairly common occurrence, most men feel embarrassed and insecure when their hair begins to thin. As such, they seek out any possible method for restoring their once magnificent mane of hair. With so many products available to help combat hair loss in men, it can be somewhat difficult to determine which is the right method to follow. The methodology behind hair transplants is actually quite simple on the surface, though it takes a great deal of surgical ability and artistic talent for a physician to achieve a natural look. As with all races, African-Americans have a number of options when it comes to treating hair loss. Methods for combating hair loss in African-Americans range from topical medications such as Rogaine, pills such as Propecia, and hair transplants. While Rogaine and Propecia have both been clinically proven to help some men with combating hair loss, they both need to be taken for the rest of the personâs life in order to remain effective.In addition, the long term effects of these medications is questionable.
