What clinical alternatives to whole liver transplantation? Current status of artificial devices and hepatocyte transplantation.

abstract：BACKGROUND:It is imperative for healthcare providers to examine Western Muslim attitudes on organ donation, because they are reluctant donors. We explored such opinion with the aid of a quantitative survey. METHODS:Voluntary completion of an anonymous survey was promoted (online and paper sampling). For a population t...
