#Vladimir Demikhov

[cerebrodigital]

El doctor soviético Vladimir Demikhov, reconocido como un pionero en el campo de los trasplantes y el epítome del "científico loco", llevó a cabo uno de los experimentos más impactantes de la ciencia médica en 1954 al crear el primer perro de dos cabezas del mundo. En la imagen se observa a un pastor alemán actuando como anfitrión, con un perro más pequeño quirúrgicamente fusionado sobre él. Aunque estos experimentos ayudaron al avance de la cirugía de trasplante, ambos animales fallecieron a los cuatro días, destacando lo controvertido y perturbador de su trabajo.

Modern Monsters 6: Dr. Frankenstein

With thanks to the wonderful @purrlockholmesbooks, whose monster request inspired not one, but several further Modern Monsters instalments!

~~~

My brain: Did you realise you have a series of poems regularly featuring the phrase “I am a modern ____” and you haven’t made a single homage to “The Modern Major-General”?

Me: I don’t know if that’s a good-

Brain: GET IN LOSER WE’RE WRITING POETRY

Victor Frankenstein originates from Mary Shelley’s 1818 classic, Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus. The characters, in my view, are a seamless fit for the MM series. You can probably think of multiple other retellings and characters inspired by the scientist and the monster - what else are they, if not part of the folklore of our times?

Keeping it brief: in the original novel, Victor was hardworking, interested in the pursuit of knowledge for its own sake, and later horrified and guilt-ridden over what he had done. A bit obsessive, maybe, but not the typical mad scientist character. His work revolved around animation of non-living tissue by a process never detailed in the book. The monster was constructed from both human and animal parts. Spoilers - by the end, the monster kills its creator and then goes into hiding.

~~~

In the Modern Monsters world, not only did Victor keep excellent lab notes, but his intelligent creation’s guilt drove it to reproduce the process and resurrect its “father”. The reanimator became the reanimated.

Just as for his creature, the process did not bring Victor back entirely as intended. The obsession (and his ego) has only grown, and he has far fewer moral qualms now over using his skills, whether to keep himself alive for centuries, or for the advancement of science for its own sake.

He has moved from country to country under various aliases in the last 200 years to find and work with those who seem to share his passion, including making many two-headed dogs with Vladimir Demikhov and later Christiaan Barnard (before the latter moved on to pioneering heart transplants).

These days, he carries out transplant surgeries both above- and below-board in an English university hospital. Unsurprisingly, the wealthy, powerful and corrupt all find their way to him when their own looming mortality is knocking down their door. He makes a good living, but he still wants to see his work in journals and to watch his advancements change the world on a grand scale.

Unfortunately for him, the modern era comes with rather less maverick-ery accepted in research. He swears these nitpicking ethics committees will be the final death of him.

~~~

Well, that got long.

REC= Research Ethics Committee, HTA = Human Tissue Authority, and HRA= Human Research Authority. Terms that medical researchers in the UK are likely to have encountered at some point…

The illustration is a mishmash of some of the typical Frankenstein-inspired mad scientist aesthetic, with a deliberately off skin colour. He can’t find his preferred style of lab coat anymore, but for some reason this dress shirt really called to him.

Silly mouth is silly. I imagine “curse youuuu” was uttered.

~~~

Still just in time for Monday here in the UK! I will try to have the next instalment, the Monster itself, up tomorrow if possible, but if not, stay tuned.

I’m happy to keep making these for as long as I’m inspired and anyone’s interested, so, requests/prompts will still be welcomed well after the pumpkins have all gone to compost.

Villain Profile: Iron Lung

The emergence of posthumans in 1951 brought with it a new revolution in biotechnology. Many prominent scientists, psychologists, biologists, physicians and others sought to use these to their fullest potential. One of them was Dr. Julius Leichtenberg.

Born in Hesse in 1937 and later immigrating to the UK, Leichtenberg was an aspiring neurosurgeon who attended the University of Oxford. His biggest influences were American neurosurgeon Robert White and Soviet organ donation pioneer Vladimir Demikhov.

Leichtenberg was fascinated by the idea of head and brain transplants, and believed it was possible to utilize this technology to save lives, whether it was preserving the brain or attaching it to a new body, either natural or artificial. The procedure had yet to be performed on a human and Liechtenberg and others were looking for willing subjects.

However, it was during this search that Leichtenberg, along with several other bystanders, were gravely injured in a fight between a posthuman criminal and police in the streets. The collateral damage left him so badly injured that being rendered quadriplegic was the best case scenario. It was more likely he would not survive.

Already a rather bitter man after facing criticism for his support of brain transplants, Liechtenberg's embitterment turned to spite and he decided to volunteer for his own work. With the help of thoroughly detailed notes and several assistants, he had his brain removed and preserved in solution and attached to a set of artificial sensory relays.

It would've been easy enough for Liechtenberg to simply find a donor body or have one grown for him and move on from there. But, after spending days, weeks and months fixating on his resentment- as well as possible unexpected psychological effects of being an isolated brain- he opted instead to pursue revenge.

The full details of what happened afterward is unclear, but Liechtenberg opted to have his brain preserved in a blast-proof canister and encased in an artificial body, which was then armed with various weapons and means for destruction. Early models were large, clunky and mechanical, which is where he earned his moniker in the press: "Iron Lung."

Iron Lung's primary M.O. is targeting posthumans, particularly those who try to use their abilities to make the world a better place, and either killing them or mutilating them to the point where they can no longer use them. He's shown no qualms about doing the same with other philanthropists, leaders, law enforcement or anyone else who gets in his way.

After numerous skirmishes, he's also gradually adapted his artificial bodies, upgrading them with new and better technology, weapons and equipment. He has now become a large, snake-like figure with a highly flexible body composed of synthetic muscle. He's also learned and employed a great deal of tactical skill, showing both proficiency in combat and the willingness to retreat when overwhelmed.

To date, no one has ever been able to capture him. The most that can be done is to cause him enough harm to force him to retreat and repair himself. With the only vital component of him being his brain, which is always hidden behind several layers of protection, the damage he can take is staggering. Efforts to stop him have gone so far have included RPGs, a Lockheed AH-56 Cheyenne and an FV4201 Chieftain tank.

He also possesses and artificial voice that retains his native accent, and while it sounds disturbingly even throughout (comparable to HAL 9000), the more damage he takes, the more this voice distorts until it devolves into a loud series of electronic whirs and blaring.

Because of the viciousness of his attacks and the nature of his existence, head and brain transplants remain a contentious subject, although a handful have been performed in the years between Iron Lung's emergence.

Reblog and put the species of the nearest stuffed animal

[no-meat-no-pudding]

I've been thinking a lot about animal testing and moral dilemmas lately. Moreso the latter than the prior, recently. Everything I do require cross examination, or so it feels.

As far as animal testing goes, I think it's as depraved as any other practice of holding sentient beings prisoner, and experimenting on them. I understand it is medically necessary (though I fully resent any testing done for the sake of vanity, such as makeups and perfumes) but of course that's a difficult pill to swallow.

I think if someone I cared about needed saving, I'd let a scientist torture and vivisect any number of people (of any species) to do so. I don't claim to be above hypocrisy, and I'm aware many would feel the same way, and I don't think it would be fair to deny them that research and that opportunity. Not that I think the medical industry is necessarily fair - I think there's plenty of profit incentive to not find an actual cure for diseases like cancer or HIV, and so we are not likely to ever see that (at least widespread.)

Another note on my own hypocrisy - I sometimes see people bemoaning the fate of Laika, cursing her handlers. I disdain them for this, I'll be honest. It's hard to feel they care about her for any reason other than her charismatic species. They don't owe me anything, though, and I'm not superior for preferring apes and rodents and bugs. Sighs. This is very stream of consciousness. On that note, I think people are especially unfair to Vladimir Demikhov, who did head transplants on dogs. As grotesque as that may seem (and is) he's responsible in part for your grandmother surviving that heart transplant, and I'm sure he didn't set out to torture dogs for no reason but to upset you, he answered a sort of trolley problem question, as one does for progress.

I wonder what the modern state of animal testing is. I need to look into this. It's been a while, I used to research this a lot as a child, and make myself sick. I remember pouring over books released by PETA and staring at the glossy photos inside of animal carcasses being held by blond models.

I wonder if it's worth it to know. What good would that do? Sometimes I feel I should bare the weight of knowing as a duty, or act of compassion, but what and who does that actually help, besides hurting me? The world's most ineffective martyr. Still, it feels irresponsible not to seek this information out. Ignorant, ungrateful even. Ugh. Oh - speaking of useless endeavors, I need to register to vote now that I've moved.

This went nowhere fast, but at least I made the animal testing post that's been stewing away in my brain for the past several weeks. Ask me again in a few days, and I'll have a totally different way to derail myself, and a conclusion to crash land into. I promise you this.

More on moral dilemmas of other natures some other time. Also, I just found out Aveeno and Axe test on animals. Axe feels particularly evil. No earthly creature should be subjected to the smell or feeling of Axe body spray. Jesus Christ.

Lung Transplant Surgeon in Gurgaon and Delhi

Lung Transplant In Delhi and Gurgaon, India

A lung transplant is a surgical procedure to replace a diseased or failing lung with a healthy lung, usually from a deceased donor. A lung transplant is reserved for people who have tried medications or other treatments, but their conditions haven't sufficiently improved.

Depending on the medical condition, a lung transplant may involve replacing one of your lungs or both of them. In some situations, the lungs may be transplanted along with a donor heart.

While a lung transplant is a major operation that can involve many complications, it can greatly improve your health and quality of life.

History

Attempts at lung transplantation have occurred as early as 1946 when Vladimir Demikhov, a Soviet scientist, attempted single-lung transplantation in a dog. This transplant ultimately failed from bronchial anastomotic dehiscence, and difficulties with this anastomosis would plague clinical lung transplantation for the next 40 years. Henri Metras, in 1950, reported the first successful dog lung transplant and the first bronchial artery and left atrial anastomoses. In a nonhuman primate model, performed lung reimplantation and showed that these lungs were able to maintain function postoperatively, despite denervation. On June 11, 1963, reported the first human lung transplant; however, the patient died from kidney failure after 18 d. The first real survivor during this early era of lung transplantation was a patient of Fritz Derom’s in Belgium.This patient, however, survived only 10 mo. The failure of this early experience in clinical lung transplantation can be summarized by inadequate immunosuppression and difficulties with the bronchial anastomosis.

The advent of cyclosporine brought about significant improvements in patient survival following liver and kidney transplantation. This led to a resurgence of interest in heart/lung transplantation in Stanford and lung transplantation in Toronto. The first successful combined heart–lung transplant was completed by Reitz and colleagues and showed that a grafted lung could survive and function in a recipient. Research performed by Cooper’s group in Toronto showed that corticosteroid use appeared to be a significant factor in the weakness of the bronchial anastomosis. With the use of cyclosporine, corticosteroid use could be reduced, leading to improved bronchial healing. In 1986, the Toronto Lung Transplant Program reported the first successful single-lung transplantations for two patients with pulmonary fibrosis. This team went on to perform the first successful double-lung transplant, first with an en bloc technique that used a tracheal anastomosis, then evolving to the bilateral sequential transplantation technique that not only improved airway healing, but also had the additional benefit of avoiding cardiopulmonary bypass, if desired. This technique remains the standard technique in use to this day.

Indication

Lung transplantation is indicated for patients with chronic, end-stage lung disease who are failing maximal medical therapy, or for whom no effective medical therapy exists. General indications include:

·         Untreatable end-stage pulmonary disease of any etiology

·         Substantial limitation of daily activities

·         Limited life expectancy

·         Ambulatory patient with rehabilitation potential

·         Acceptable nutritional status

·         Satisfactory psychosocial profile and emotional support system

Some of the diseases that may require a lung transplant among this population include:

·         Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

·         Cystic fibrosis and bronchiectasis for other causes

·         Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and non-specific interstitial pneumonia

·         Pulmonary hypertension

·         Sarcoidosis

·         Lymphangioleiomyomatosis

·         Bronchoalveolar carcinoma

·         Re-transplant bronchiolitis obliterans

·         Bronchopulmonary dysplasia or chronic lung disease

·         Heart disease or heart defects affecting the lungs

Types of transplant

There are 3 main types of lung transplant:

A single lung transplant – where a single damaged lung is removed from the recipient and replaced with a lung from the donor; this is often used to treat pulmonary fibrosis, but it's not suitable for people with cystic fibrosis because infection will spread from the remaining lung to the donated lung.

A double lung transplant – where both lungs are removed and replaced with 2 donated lungs; this is usually the main treatment option for people with cystic fibrosis or COPD.

A heart-lung transplant – where the heart and both lungs are removed and replaced with a donated heart and lungs; this is often recommended for people with severe pulmonary hypertension. The demand for lung transplants is far greater than the available supply of donated lungs. This means a transplant will only be carried out if it's thought there's a relatively good chance of it being successful.

What is the procedure for lung transplant?

Lung transplantation is a complex surgical procedure performed to replace a diseased or damaged lung with a healthy lung from a donor. Here is a general overview of the procedure:

Evaluation and Listing: The process begins with an extensive evaluation to determine if a patient is a suitable candidate for lung transplantation. The evaluation involves medical tests, imaging studies, and consultations with a transplant team, including pulmonologists, surgeons, psychologists, and social workers. If the patient meets the criteria, they are placed on a waiting list for a suitable donor organ.

Waiting for a Donor: While waiting for a suitable donor, the patient undergoes regular check-ups and medical monitoring. The waiting time can vary significantly, ranging from days to months or even longer, depending on the availability of donor lungs that match the patient's blood type, tissue compatibility, and size.

Organ Matching: When a potential donor organ becomes available, a thorough assessment is conducted to determine its suitability for transplantation. The donor lung is evaluated based on factors such as blood type compatibility, tissue compatibility, size matching, and overall organ function.

Preparing for Surgery: Once a suitable donor lung is identified, the patient is notified, and preparations for surgery begin. The patient is admitted to the hospital, and pre-operative tests and procedures are performed. These may include blood tests, imaging studies, lung function tests, and discussions about the surgical process.

Anesthesia and Incision: On the day of surgery, the patient is brought to the operating room, and general anesthesia is administered. The surgeon makes an incision in the chest to access the diseased lung.

Lung Removal: The surgeon carefully removes the diseased lung while preserving surrounding blood vessels and airways. In some cases, both lungs may need to be removed, depending on the patient's condition.

Donor Lung Implantation: The healthy donor lung is prepared for transplantation by connecting the blood vessels and airways. The surgeon carefully sutures the blood vessels and airways of the new lung to the patient's existing blood vessels and airways.

Chest Closure: After the new lung is securely in place, the surgeon closes the incision in the chest using sutures or staples. Chest tubes may be inserted to drain excess fluid and air from the surgical site. 

Recovery and Post-Transplant Care: The patient is transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU) or a specialized transplant unit for close monitoring. Recovery after lung transplantation can be challenging, and the patient may need to stay in the hospital for several weeks. They will receive immunosuppressive medications to prevent organ rejection and undergo extensive rehabilitation, including physical therapy and respiratory exercises.

Follow-up Care: After discharge, the patient continues to receive ongoing care and regular follow-up visits with the transplant team. Long-term management involves taking immunosuppressive medications, monitoring lung function, and adopting a healthy lifestyle to promote overall well-being.

It's important to note that this is a general overview, and the specific details of the procedure can vary depending on the patient's condition, the transplant center, and the surgical techniques employed by the medical team.

-“одна голова хорошо а две лучше”-(One head it's good, but two are better.)

Vladimir Petrovich Demikhov (Russian: Владимир Петрович Демихов; July 31, 1916 – November 22, 1998)[1] was a Soviet scientist and organ transplantation pioneer, who performed several transplants in the 1940s and 1950s, including the transplantation of a heart into an animal and a heart–lung replacement in an animal. He is also well known for his dog head transplants,[2] which he conducted during the 1950s, resulting in two-headed dogs.

(I like to think that the real reason why Ivan hides his neck is because he has a scars from various experiments he was subjected to in his time as the Soviet Union.

They probably wanted to see if he really was immortal and after discovering that apparently he was, they would start trying things like head transplants on him without fearing he died.)

[thesugarhole]

i thought i was gonna read them all to completion but then i realized if the subject matter didn't interest me it was a slog of info to get through. anyway heres my opinions:

EDIT: i wanted to post this when i read all the links to completion, but had a long pause meanwhile AND meanwhile the links have been changing (its wikipedia after all) so ill post this draft right now, with some ammended stuff for the links that no longer lead to what i read.

additionally, despite my complaining about these not being creepy, it seems that the problem is me and my high creepy tolerance. i send the link to the tv episode (absolutely nothing odd about it other than the episodes theme appearing to be supernatural at first) to a friend complaining that this wasnt creepy in the slightest, it was just an episode recap. they found it creepy. idk man.

45 grey goo: takes me to a videogame, then theres a note saying "for the apocalyptic scenario, visit gray goo" so im assuming thats what im supposed to be viewing. creepy i guess. like the page says, its useful to have these theories around. (edit: the misdirect still happens as of posting)

46 the grinning man: this is literally just an episode description with some behind the scenes info thats not creepy in the slightest. hello? you might have an easier time linking to what inspired the episode to give me the creeps (edit: page i mentioned about that i sent my friend. when i first opened it, it linked to "a 2009 episode of the British television series Jonathan Creek". as of posting, it now redirects to a disambiguation with other pages of similar titles. the authors intentions might have been to link to "Indrid Cold, AKA the Grinning Man, a legendary being associated with the Mothman". its a short read, and i dont find american cryptids creepy so, my judgement is the same)

47 crawfordsville monster: not creepy. (edit: kinda funny. what can you do, you didnt have internet access then to figure it out)

50 dulce base: not creepy. (edit: i think this place was mentioned in one of the horror movies ive watched recently. my brain is telling me it was nope, but it feels unlikely. maybe its the desert+alien combo)

53 starchild skull: curious.

54 jersey devil: not creepy, although ive never been creeped out by american cryptids, be them native or colonized. im actually a little disappointed...

55 jack parsons: this started so boring, i was about to skip it. but i ended up reading the whole thing because it crossed two important interests of mine: space and demons. this sure was a guy huh. i really liked the part near his death where someone said that his interest in both topics was a way to make the impossible possible, since rockets at the time were considered science fiction. and if rockets were made possible? why not uhhhhh. jacking off into some crowley scriptures or whatever to summon a goddess while the guy who invented scientology watches. fascinating. not creepy.

56 faces of belmez: not creepy. we have a bathroom rug and with the way the striped pattern looks, makes it so that i can see a ton of faces in it while taking a dump, too. maybe its an iberian thing?

57 david parker ray: meh. i dont mean to sound desensitized, but there are rapists, torturers and murderers aplenty out there: its knowing the details that gives someone the heebie jeebies. right at the top theres a link for "the tool box killers" and the amount of detail given about the 5th murdered girl is more than enough to creep someone out.

58 total information awareness: boring.

59 penis panic redirects to koro (disease). stupid. learned the world spermatorrhea though! (edit: the redirect still happens as of posting.)

60 wilhem reich: curious but ultimately meh read. not really creepy.

61 the mahavishnu orchestra: ??? i missed the part where this was supposed to be creepy.

62 devil's footprints: i feel beyond annoyed over this list by now due to its many flops, so now im just like. fucking whatever. not creepy. literally who gives a shit some random ass footsteps in snow. maybe if i was in a better disposition id recognize the creepy potential in this one but you know what? nah. fuck you and fuck your hooves.

edit: really funny that i stopped here with this scathing review lmao

i gotta be honest, the 136 creepy wikipedia articles... arent that creepy. theres one or two that sure, its unsettling info but i dunno. feel a bit misled
