21. The Self Appendectomy.


It happened during 6th Soviet Antarctic Expedition at Novolazarevskaya Station. The patient "Leonid Rogozov" was the only physician on station, so the assistant was a mechanic. It was on April 30, 1961. The operation took 2 hours. He positioned himself so that he could see his own body using a mirror when doing the surgery, he made a 12 cm cut through which he found and removed the appendix. After 5 days the doctor felt good, and after 7 days he removed the wires which had been used to sew up the body.

20. Liver has the amazing ability to regenerate itself which makes surgeries like liver transplant possible. When people donate half their liver to someone who needs it, the remaining part of the liver regenerates the donated part.

19. In a single hour, kidneys receive around 120 pints of blood.

* The blood flow in kidneys is higher than the blood flow in heart, liver and brain.


* Once a person reaches the age of 40, the number of functional nephrons present in each kidney start falling at a rate of 1% a year.


* Kidneys are responsible for maintaining a constant amount of fluid in the body. The entire blood in the body gets filtered around 400 times in a day through the kidneys.


* If one kidney is taken away and the functional capacity of the other kidney is reduced to just 75%, it can still sustain life. This happens becausethe nephrons are capable of enlarging and handling excess load. This is known as hypertrophy.


* Kidneys pump around 400 gallons of recycled blood every day.



* Kidneys are connected to bladder with the help of two tubes known as ureters. It is the bladder where the urine is stored. The urine that we excreteis stored anywhere between 1 and 8 hours. Interesting fact is that we don’t urinate until the bladder is half full. Once the half of the bladder is full, signals are sent to the brain which in turn tells us that it is time to urinate.


* Excessive antacids and milk can cause kidney stones.


* . Kidney disease can never be reversed. Its progression can only be slowed down.29.


* High BP and diabetes can both lead to failure of kidneys.
