Twenty years after surgeons in France performed the world`s first face transplant, the experimental field that procedure launched is now confronting a troubling record of patient deaths, buried negative data and a healthcare system that leaves recipients financially devastated and medically vulnerable. About 50 face transplants have been performed globally since Isabelle Dinoire received her partial face graft at University Hospital CHU Amiens-Picardie in November 2005. A 2024 JAMA Surgery study reported five-year graft survival of 85% and 10-year survival of 74%, concluding that the procedure is "an effective reconstructive option for patients with severe facial defects." The study did not track psychological wellbeing, financial outcomes, employment status or quality of life. Roughly 20% of face transplant patients have died from rejection, kidney failure, or heart failure. The anti-rejection medications that keep transplanted faces alive can destroy kidneys and weaken immune systems to the point where routine infections become life-threatening. In the United States, the Department of Defense has funded most operations, treating them as a frontier for wounded veterans, because private insurers refuse to cover the costs. Patients who survive the surgery often find themselves unable to afford medications, transportation to follow-up appointments or basic caregiving. The field`s long-term grants cover surgical innovation but not the lifelong needs of the people who receive these transplants. Read more of this story at Slashdot.

Kim Kardashian gave some insight into how Kanye West`s public comments about her have affected her behind closed doors. On Thursday`s new episode of The Kardashians , Kim was seen venting to both Scott Disick and the show`s producers about her ex, who has claimed in the past that he`s been unable to see their shared children. The two are parents to North West, 12, Saint West, 9, Chicago West, 7, and Psalm West, 6. "By the way, I`m sorry about all that you`re going through. It looks stressful," Disick said while the two shared a car ride together, not mentioning West by name. "I mean, I see some stuff and it`s like, f--k,`" he added, as Kim admitted it "is hard." In a confessional, a producer then noted that her "ex is very loud out there." "I just can`t really engage, I think it`s just for the better," Kim responded, before cutting back to her convo with Scott. "By the way, never once called," Kardashian then said of West, adding, "I mean, I always encourage a relationship, but a healthy one." After saying it`s "just frustrating that my character as a mom" is called into question, she said, "Sometimes I just feel like snapping, but I can`t. I just can`t." In another confessional, Kim concluded that her "only focus and job is really just to be strong for my kids." Elsewhere in the episode, Scott wondered how Kardashian "has been able to stay so calm during pretty much anything" -- concluding, "She`s able to bottle up her emotions. Not sure where they go. Maybe she`s tucking them under her butt, that`s why it’s so big." New episodes of The Kardashians drops Thursdays on Hulu .
