Jack Bruce underwent his Liver Transplant operation on July 25, 2003, in London, England. The operation was due to the fact that Jack Bruce was suffering from liver cancer. The operation was a success. Jack Bruce remained in remission until 2009, when he had to cancel a tour in progress in order to receive treatment for cancer that had returned. That treatment was successful and Jack Bruce continues to perform musically today. His last musical performance was at Ronnie Scott's Club in 2011, a venue that was always one of Bruce's favourites.

Can you give your heart to somebody that has a bad heart?

Although popularized in fiction (TV, films), it is extremely rare to have "direct donation" of hearts (e.g. from a dying relative or friend). The "elective donor" process is becoming a common procedure for kidneys and for sections of the liver, where the donor will continue living after the transplant. But the heart is almost always a total transplant, and has to come from a recently deceased donor, one who dies from something that does not damage the heart. Doctors cannot approve the deliberate death of a healthy person even if it means saving another.

What are the causes of a starry sky appearance throughout the liver?

A starry sky appearance in the liver, often described as a "starry sky" or "starry sky liver," is typically caused by the accumulation of fat in liver cells (steatosis) and the presence of fibrosis or cirrhosis. This condition can result from chronic liver diseases, such as alcoholic liver disease or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The appearance is due to the contrast between the fatty areas and the surrounding normal liver tissue, often highlighted by imaging techniques or histological examination. Other contributing factors may include inflammation and vascular changes in the liver.

Why It is not possible to transplant gallbladder without liver transplant?

The gallbladder is not essential - you can live without it quite easily (like your appendix). So it is never transplanted since it is not necessary. And when having a liver transplant, the gallbladder (both the original and the transplanted) are removed. Nobody with a liver transplant has a gall-bladder.

Why did george best need a liver transplant?

People need a liver transplant because their own liver doesn't work well enough anymore to keep them alive. The liver stops functioning for many reasons, as the liver has over 140 functions in the body. Reasons for liver failure include, but are not limited to: 1. Genetic diseases 2. Alcohol abuse/alcoholism 3. Hepatitis (A,B, or C) 4. Massive infections that travel into the blood (sepsis), blood transfusions received before they began testing blood for Hepatitis, HIV, or other diseases. 5. Blunt trauma to the liver .
