The utilization of two types of industrial wastewater to cleanse each other, as demonstrated by simulations by West Virginia University researchers, has the potential to reduce the overall water consumption of a power plant.
In January 2023, doctors at UW Medicine performed a first-of-its-kind transplant in which a patient received a donor heart and liver with the goal of preventing rejection of the heart.
On the rare occasion that a patient's heart and liver are both swapped for a second-hand set from an organ donor, it's because something has gone critically wrong with each.
The procedures were done together, doctors said, to prevent the extremely high likelihood the woman would reject a donor heart transplanted alone.
Dual heart and liver transplants are rarely performed and this particular case was a first for UW Medicine surgeons.
