In a rare case, a 10-year-old boy suffering from liver failure got a fresh lease of life after doctors innovatively transplanted a portion of his mother's liver into him. This was not a standard transplant as the mother was found to be unfit for donation due to an aberrant anomaly in her hepatic vein. But with the boy's liver condition deteriorating rapidly, an urgent liver transplant was advised to increase his chances of survival. Incidentally, only the mother's blood group matched with the patient's group. With no options left, the surgeons at Global Hospital came up with innovative means of both extracting the liver from the donor and also implanting into the recipient with minimum risk. "The mother's left portion of the liver was implanted into the child and the right hepatic vein of the child was used to reconstruct the middle vein," said Dr Thomas Cherian, liver transplant surgeon of the hospital, who performed the surgery. Both the mother...

Sonoclot (SC1) ACT Machine incorporates Sonoclot's Proprietary Visco-Elastic technology and is extremely sensitive to the developing clot. Normal ACT Machines mechanically detect mature clot to report Activated Clotting Time which takes into account cumulative activity of Factors, Fibrin gel & Platelets to form a mature clot. On the other hand Sonoclot ACT Machine starts monitoring the viscosity changes, which is the first component to change when the coagulation cascade is triggered by the respective activators. Factor Xa triggers Prothrombin to Thrombin (Factor IIa) the sample is still in the liquid phase. As Thrombin forms it triggers Fibrinogen to Fibrin Polymerization the sample starts to gel and the viscosity starts increasing. Sonoclot ACT Machine is very sensitive to this changing viscosity and first reports ACT, which is a function of Factor Xa activity. Once the ACT re...
