Este é um estudo de natureza qualitativa, com abordagem exploratória, situado no campo dos estudos culturais, utilizando ferramentas propostas por Michel Foucault para a análise textual. Tem como objetivo analisar como os discursos veiculados pela mídia atravessam os sujeitos e os instituem como sujeitos doadores de órgãos. O corpus de análise foi composto por matérias do jornal Folha de São Paulo, considerado o mais influente do país. Tais reportagens põem em funcionamento discursos que foram analisados e que representam o modo como instituem doadores de órgãos. Os discursos do jornal são vistos como artefatos da cultura, que produzem verdades e governam sujeitos, determinando ações possíveis de ser feitas, a fim de que ocorram mais transplantes.Este es un estudio de naturaleza cualitativa, con abordaje exploratorio, situado en el campo de los Estudios Culturales, utilizando herramientas propuestas por Michel Foucault para el análisis textual.

It aims at analyzing how discourses transmitted by the media affect subjects and institute them as organ donors. The analysis corpus was made up of articles from the Folha de São Paulo newspaper, which is considered to be the most influential in the country. These articles contain discourses that were analyzed and represent the way organ donors are recruited. The newspaper discourses are seen as culture artifacts that produce truth and influence subjects, determining possible actions that may be performed so that more transplants take place.

The first investigation on allograft utilization was carried out in the 17th century. Allografts are very important in orthopedic surgery, avoiding local complications and limitations related to autologous graft harvest. There is no current information published on allograft distribution and utilization in Mexico. Objective: To describe the experience of the Bone and Tissue Bank of University Hospital, UANL, with special attention to final destination of bone allografts. Material and methods: Data on procurement and distribution of tissue between September 26, 2000 and July 31, 2003 has been included. Results: Fifty-seven tissue procurements in 9 cities in Mexico were done; only two donors were cadaveric donors. A total of 1,983 allografts were distributed and used in 1,172 surgical procedures in 23 states in Mexico. Sixty-four percent of the allografts were used by orthopedic surgeons, 95% being freeze-dried allografts. Conclusion: Since 2001 allograft distribution has shown an important increase, well above that reported by the American Association of Tissue Banks. We have been using allografts for orthopedic surgery as well as many other tissue banks. The current system for capturing cadaveric tissue donors in Mexico is not sufficient, implementation of specific programs focused on tissue donation could probably increase the number of tissue donors.
