Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. 1st Edition. An important monograph in the history of renal transplantation and the history of medicine by a seminal figure in organ transplantation, Thomas Starzl. Softcover in two parts, stapled wraps, 9 x 5 7/8 inches, April 1974 (59 pp.), May 1974 (54 pp.), 293 references, figures. Very good (moderate amount of text underlining in ink). Scarce. (K063) Starzl "?is universally recognized across the medical community as the "Father of Modern Transplantation." His work single-handedly shifted organ transplantation from the realm of dangerous science fiction into a routine, life-saving reality. His profound, foundational contributions to medicine span several breakthroughs: The First Liver Transplants: Dr. Starzl performed the world's first human liver transplant in 1963 and achieved the first successful, long-term survival liver transplant in 1967. Immunosuppression Breakthroughs: He discovered how to stop the human body from rejecting foreign organs. He pioneered combining corticosteroids with azathioprine, and later introduced revolutionizing drugs like cyclosporine and tacrolimus. Standardizing the Field: Beyond performing surgeries, he wrote the blueprint for organ preservation, tissue matching, and the team-based surgical models still used in modern hospitals today. Dr. Starzl's decades of research and relentless determination literally created the surgical discipline that now saves thousands of lives annually around the globe.".

Soft cover. Condición: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. A scarce, important monograph by Dr. Thomas Starzl, with the collaboration of colleagues in pathology and biological chemistry. Important medical history. Stapled wraps, stiff covers, 8 7/8 x 5 7/8 inches, pp. 688-754, 17 figures, 238 + 26 references. Near fine (slight edgewear; address label on rear cover; pages clean and binding strong). "This monograph of Eck's fistula by Starzl is the most authoritative publication since that by Pavlov and his associates in 1893. Pavlov pointed out the near-total lack of scientific data available from Eck's study, but commented that the operation would be important because it could open doors for the clarification of important problems in the pathology, physiology, and pharmacology of the liver. No one has grasped this opportunity with the brilliance and dedication of Starzl, and in this arena he has no peers. I know of no other source from which this outstanding scientific and clinical correlation could have come." "'Impressive' is probably the word that most effectively describes this monograph by Dr. Starzl. The extensive bibliography weaves together a series of clinical observations and animal studies into a fabric whose design reflects the role of insulin as THE hepatotrophic factor in maintaining normal liver function. When diverted by portal systemic shunting, insulin fails to reach the liver in sufficient quantity to prevent deterioration. For years Dr. Starzl has been one of the most imaginative, innovative, and energetic investigators in academic surgery. In this monograph, he and his co-authors describe some of their ingenious and difficult experiments, experiments designed to clarify the role of pancreatic internal secretion in the portal vein and the support of hepatocellular growth and function."
