  • Announcement from the General
    ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE GENERAL SECRETARIAT OF THE KING FAISAL INTERNATIONAL PRIZE ON THE RESULTS OF THE SELECTION COMMITTEES IN THEIR MEETINGS HELD BETWEEN 13/9/1421H-16/9/1421H CORRESPONDING TO 9/12/2000G-12/2/2000G Riyadh, 12 December 2000. At an official dinner held at Riyadh's AI Khozama Centre, HRH Prince Khaled AI Faisal, Director-General of King Faisal Foundation, announced the winners of the prestigious King Faisal International Prize for 2001. Professor Sir Roy Yorke Calne (Emeritus Professor of Surgery, University of Cambridge, UK), Professor Norman Edward Shumway (Professor and Chairman of the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Stanford University, California, USA), and Professor Thomas Earl Starzl (Professor of Surgery, University of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, USA) have jointly been awarded the King Faisal International Prize for Medicine for their outstanding contributions in the field of organ transplantation. Professor Calne's pioneering experimental and clinical research on the use of immunosuppressive drugs and other aspects of transplantation has led to the introduction into clinical practice of 6-mercaptopurine (1960), azathioprine (1961) and, most importantly, cyclosporin (1970). Professor Caine's research on these drugs paved the way for heart, lung, liver, pancreas and kidney transplantation to become standard procedures throughout the world, thereby benefiting huge numbers of patients. Professor Caine also pioneered the use of monoclonal antibodies to prevent graft rejection and made the seminal discovery that liver transplantation is of itself immunosuppressive. This has led to the concept that it may be possible to reduce the use of immunosuppressive drugs in recipients of liver and other organ transplants. Professor Shumway is considered to be the father of heart transplantation.

  • Institutional Exchange of Cadaver Kidneys in Denmark
    Medical History, 2008, 52: 23–46 To Share or not to Share? Institutional Exchange of Cadaver Kidneys in Denmark SØREN BAK-JENSEN* Kidney transplantations are about exchanges. Grafts are moved from dead bodies to living ones in return for gratitude and meaning; between friends and family members out of, or in hope of, affection; and between strangers for philanthropic or pecuniary reasons.1 These exchanges raise legal, psychological, ethical, and philosophical questions, and kidney transplantations owe their high visibility as much to the ongoing debates about these issues as to their therapeutic qualities. Consequently, exchanges like these have received much attention from scholars, stressing how kidney transplantations, along with other kinds of organ transplantations, involve society in a unique way. Rene´e Fox and Judith Swazey, pioneers in the sociological study of kidney transplantations, asserted in 1978 that the importance of renal replacement therapies ‘‘lies as much in their social and cultural significance as in their medical and surgical value’’, thus announcing a broad perspective on the significance of kidney transplantations that continues to dominate non- medical research in the field to this day.2 But kidney transplantations also involve exchanges on a different level. Jeffrey Prottas reminds us that ‘‘before they go to patients, organs go to transplant teams and hospitals’’.3 Doctors and transplant centres involved at this level hold strong vested interests in how organs are distributed, and exchanges at the institutional level are thus potentially as problematic as exchanges on a broader societal level. Prottas identifies two different ways of allocating organs for transplantation. In the first case, organs are distributed according to general criteria accepted by a group of transplant centres and are offered to the most suitable recipient within the network of cooperating centres.

"Major Medical Milestones Leading Up to the First Human Heart Transplantation". The Proceedings of the 18th Annual History of Medicine Days, March 6th and 7th, 2009 University of Calgary, Faculty of Medicine, Calgary, AB. p. 177-200 http://hdl.handle.net/1880/48963 journal article Downloaded from PRISM: https://prism.ucalgary.ca MAJOR MEDICAL MILESTONES LEADING UP TO THE FIRST HUMAN HEART TRANSPLANTATION KATE ELZINGA SUMMARY: Throughout the historiography of cardiac surgery, it was claimed that the first heart operation was performed in 1801 by Catalonian physician Francisco Romero (ca. 1770-1815?). His pericardiostomy involved making a thoracic incision, then opening and draining the pericardium. “Blood oxygenation” did not restrict this type of minor surgery, but proved to be a significant barrier limiting cardiac surgery for the next 150 years. Open heart surgery only became possible with the creation of the cardiopulmonary bypass machine and the use of medically induced hypothermia. Dr. Wilfred Bigelow (1913-2005) discovered that if dogs were cooled to 25-30°C, they could be brought back to consciousness in warm water, which was very encouraging because heart operations would be safer if a patient’s oxygen demands were decreased during surgery. This article will address some not-so-well known Canadian achievements leading up to the development of cardiac surgery in general and heart transplantation in particular and put them into their perspective in the wider history of medicine.

Professor Calne later spent two years as a Research Fellow in Surgery at Harvard Medical School. Upon his return to UK he held surgical posts at St. Mary's and West minister Hospitals before he became Professor of Surgery at the University of Cambridge, a post which he held until he retired in 1998. Professor Calne is being honored for his pioneering experimental and clinical research on the use of immunosuppressive drugs and other aspects of transplantation, documented in more than 500 scientific papers. His work led to the introduction into clinical practice of 6-mercaptopurine (1960), azathioprine (1961) and, most importantly, cyclosporine (1970). Professor Calne's research on these drugs paved the way for heart, lung, liver, pancreas and kidney transplantation to become standard procedures throughout the world, thereby benefitting huge numbers of patients. 1 Professor Caine also pioneered the use of monoclonal antibodies to prevent graft rejection, and made the seminal discovery that liver transplantation is of itself immunosuppressive.
