At the Toronto General Hospital, over 300 adult living donor liver transplants have been performed since April 2000, with no donor death and with both recipient and graft survivals First Principles of Gastroenterology and Hepatology A. It is the policy in most liver transplantation programs that it is not justified to put a healthy donor at risk of morbidity and mortality when the recipient outcome is likely below the usually accepted futility threshold of a 50% 5-year survival. Donation after Cardiac Death The use of organs from donors who have died from a cardiac death, (i. In recent years, organ donation after cardiac death has been rediscovered, and is increasingly used in an attempt to address organ shortages. Donation after cardiac death occurs after the decision has been made to withdraw life support for medical reasons, in a hopelessly sick patient who does not fulfill brain-death criteria. Donation after cardiac death can proceed in either a so-called controlled or uncontrolled fashion. In the uncontrolled situation, resuscitation measures in an urgent event are deemed futile and stopped. Many programs will accept donation after a controlled cardiac death, but, for ethical and logistic reasons, not in the uncontrolled situation. Donation after cardiac death invariably implies an agonal period of warm hypoxia/ischemia before the organs can be cooled by perfusion with preservation solution. While the hepatic parenchyma tolerates hypoxia/ischemia relatively well, the biliary tree is exclusively arterially perfused and is exquisitely sensitive to hypoxia/ischemia. Liver grafts obtained after cardiac death are therefore prone to develop ischemic type biliary strictures, with their associated morbidity and mortality. Nevertheless, transplantation of livers obtained after cardiac death can be life-saving, and several centers are currently working on improving its outcome. Operative Procedure Technical details of the procedure are beyond the scope of this discussion. However, the following salient points are worth mentioning: during the procedure the liver is mobilized and both the inflow to the liver and the inferior vena caval return to the heart are interrupted. The patients original liver is subsequently removed, and the new liver graft is sewn in place.

To review a model of sexual response that permits motivations (reasons/incentives), for being sexual, over and beyond sexual desire. To clarify that it is the womans arousability (along with the usefulness of sexual stimuli and context) that determines whether she will access sexual desire. In other words, for women, the concept of responsive desire or desire accessed during the sexual experience may be as or more important than initial desire as measured by sexual thoughts and sexual fantasies. To critique the traditional markers of sexual desire as they apply to womenand the questionable relevance of their lack. To outline the assessment of low desire and the associated low arousa- bility, thereby identifying therapeutic options. To review what is known of the biological basis of womens sexual desire and arousability, including the role of androgens. To review psychotherapy, pharmacotherapy, and the biopsychosexual approach to the management of womens lack of sexual interest/desire. Further reasons include increasing the womans sense of well being, of attractiveness, womanlinesseven to feel more normal (26). Simply wanting to share something of herself that is very precious, to sense her partner as sexually attractive (be it his/her strength and power, or ability to be tender/considerateor both), are further reasons. Incen- tives that might supercially appear unhealthy are also common, for example, to placate a needy (and increasingly irritable) partner (26), or do ones duty. The concept of rewards or spin offs from being sexual is currently being empirically researched. The degree of emotional intimacy with her partner that may have even been the major motivating force, is also a very important inuence on her arousability to the sexual stimuli. Various other psychological and biological factors will inuence this arousability such that the processing of the sexual information in her mind may or may not lead to subjective arousal (2731). This accessed or triggered sexual desire and the subjective arousal continue together, each reinforcing the other (32,33). A positive outcome, emotionally and physically, increases the womans motivation to be sexual again in the future (32). Sexual desire that appears to be innate or spontaneous and reected by sexual thoughts/fantasies, awareness of wanting sexual sensations per se before any activity actually begins, may or may not augment or sometimes over- ride the previously described cycle (Fig. Typically, women are more aware of this type of initial desire early on in their relationships (6).
