Fascial Integration: Structural-Visceral approaches.

Realizing the vision of culturing organs for use in life-saving transplantation procedures is still a long way off. However, the work of Prof. Jacob Hanna on stem cells is paving the way for this to become a reality.

From the smooth tubes of our arteries and veins to the textured pockets of our internal organs, our bodies are made of tissues arranged in complex shapes that aid in performing specific functions.

“Organs—like the heart, brain, and kidneys—are complex structures made up of a combination of different cells that work cooperatively to perform specific functions. For example, around 70 distinct types of cells work together in the human eye to enable our visual perception. How do different types of cells evolve to cooperate like this?”

“Kidneys can often be transplanted within about 24 hours. Once they are recovered, obviously shorter is better and probably most of them go in 12 hours or less. When you’re looking at livers and pancreas, it’s probably ideally less than eight hours. Hearts and lungs go down to about four to six hours.”

Every year, more than 100,000 people in the United States wait for an organ donation. More than a dozen people will die each day still waiting. Such is the brutal math and the necessary optimism required to work in the organ procurement world. For the past several decades, a private network of now ....

The Evolution of Organs… “Rove beetles defend themselves against predators by expelling a toxic mixture of chemicals from a unique gland in their abdomen. The origin of that gland holds clues to the evolution of organs in general.”

Quanta Magazine

The evolution of a defensive gland in beetles shows how organs can arise from novel cells carving out new functional niches for their neighbors.

Gut-Brain: "This finding is exciting because it provides a mechanistic explanation of how gut-brain communication is translated into brain cell renewal, through gut microbe produced molecules stimulating the formation of new nerve cells in the adult brain.”

- Sven PetterssonMedicalXpressss

The billions of microbes living in your gut could play a key role in supporting the formation of new nerve cells in the adult brain, with the potential to possibly prevent memory loss in old age and help to repair and renew nerve cells after injury, an international research team spanning Singapore,...

Pleural Lesions: “When adhesion between the parietal pleura and visceral pleura is presented, abnormal lung sliding, as well as the contraction and expansion of the lung, is restricted, leading to tension. Abnormal image signs, such as abnormal lung–sliding, pleural plaques, pleural traction, and pleural depression, are presented in CT images and ultrasonography.”

Some of the LPA might be attributed to previous inflammation. However there must be a physiological pleural junction which could cause LPA seen in chest X-ray.
