Human Tissue Trafficking
Human Tissue Tracking: A Literature Review
Recent developments in the medical field have seen a substantial increase in the need for continuous nursing studies with the intention of enhancing the quality of healthcare provided to patients. Various studies have concentrated on the effective behaviors adoptable to ensure the provision of quality nursing care to patients. However, a report released recently by the American Medical Association showed that most of the nursing staff experienced problems of unsuitable handling of the biological allografts. Among the contributing factors contributing to inappropriate handling of the biological allografts, include lack of knowledge in the handling and tracking of biological allografts. Effective handling of the biological specimen ensures public trust, preservation, and protection of the specimen from contamination, a factor that contributes to inaccuracy of the results obtained from the procedure. Therefore, this study...
It utilizes the use of different research articles and journals to illuminate the light on the issues surrounding human tissue tracking.
Literature review
Various studies have been carried out relating to the current practices of tissue tracking and the regulation of the process of tissue identification. In 2006, a tissue transplant controversy made the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) respond by instituting policies to strengthen tissue transplantation in the United States. Patricia Battisti underwent a car accident in 2005 and suffered serious back injuries. She underwent corrective surgery in the same year and received tissue plants. In 2006, almost a year after the transplantation, Battisti found out that most of the tissues from the Biomedical Tissue Services of the Fort Lee tissue bank in New Jersey, the bank that had provided her with a tissue, were likely to have been…
Various studies have been carried out relating to the current practices of tissue tracking and the regulation of the process of tissue identification. In 2006, a tissue transplant controversy made the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) respond by instituting policies to strengthen tissue transplantation in the United States. Patricia Battisti underwent a car accident in 2005 and suffered serious back injuries. She underwent corrective surgery in the same year and received tissue plants. In 2006, almost a year after the transplantation, Battisti found out that most of the tissues from the Biomedical Tissue Services of the Fort Lee tissue bank in New Jersey, the bank that had provided her with a tissue, were likely to have been poorly tested. This became a concern for her, because the lack of care and testing of the tissues Battisti received could have put her at risk of serious disease and complication, including infection and other issues that could have potentially taken her life.
On the exposure of Battisti's case, the FDA stepped up investigations and found that the allograft tissue that the patient had received was from a Brooklyn funeral home where tissues and bones had been exhumed and stolen. The records of the tissue were changed in Biomedical Tissue Services in New Jersey then sent to tissue banks, where they could be tested and used in for transplant and implants in hospitals. This case reported by the U.S. Federal News Service depicts just how easy it has been to steal a tissue from a corpse, process it under different records, and then use it in patients. This case exemplifies the under-regulation of tissue identification in the United States. The news article reporting the case explains that while tissue transplantation is in many ways similar to organ transplantation; it is chronically under-regulated. It is clear that organ transplantation is strongly regulated in the United States, while that is not as true in other countries where organ theft and trafficking is much more prevalent and worrisome.
However, there are problems within the U.S. when it comes to the trafficking and theft of tissues, many of which could come from a "patient" who was already deceased and who did not give consent for the use of tissues after death. Taking tissue from a corpse presents health and safety issues when it is not done in the hospital under regulated conditions. Tissues are not viable for a long period
Human trafficking has become a common thing in the world today; I will start by defining what human trafficking is. Human trafficking is basically the trade of human beings.it involves trading of human beings for purposes such as sexual slavery, extracting of tissues and organs such as ova or for forced labor. Currently, human trafficking is quite an attractive and lucrative business estimated to close to 32 billion dollars in

Fibrous connective tissue is also found in ligaments, tendons, cartilage, and bone (CliffsNotes.com, 2009, What are the four types of tissue found in the human body). Q4: In Chapter 2 we discussed the importance polarity as it related to electron distribution around some molecules, such as water. In Chapter 4, however, polarity takes on a slightly different meaning. What does polarity refer to in this chapter? Please provide a specific

In most societies, FGM is considered a cultural tradition, which is often used as an argument for its continuation. Though a tremendous range of practices fall under the title of female genital mutilation, understanding what is involved in the process really helps one understand why it is internationally condemned as a violation of human rights. The most drastic type of female genital mutilation is infibulation. A standard infibulation process is
It also requires us to be involved in that region of the world in very costly ways that would not matter but for our dependence on Middle Eastern oil. We are now at the point where the next generation of Americans or the one immediately after the next generation will experience the complete depletion of the world's available oil reserves. Even before the oil finally runs out, its price will
