Dr. M.P. Ruka - Professional Biography (in Brief) Total Number of Words Published: 1,392 Dr. Miroslaw P. Ruka, a Polish-born Canadian with a citizenship status since 1993 (prior to emigration into Canada in 1989 he held a permanent resident status in Groningen, Holland), is a General Veterinary Practitioner licensed in Poland, The Netherlands, Kuwait and in the Province of Ontario as a Veterinary Clinical Small Animal Organ Transplant Surgeon, explicitly (CVO GCL license no. 4796, Ontario, Canada) with a soft tissue surgery and organ transplant academic training (including microsurgery) on faculty positions from Poland, Holland, Kuwait and Canada. He is a graduate in Veterinary Medicine from Warsaw Veterinary College in Warsaw, Poland, as a general veterinary practitioner in small and large animal medicine and surgery. He is the holder of the general veterinary practitioner's licence from Poland, The Netherlands, and a specialized veterinary licence from the College of Veterinarians of Ontario (CVO) in the Province of Ontario (Canada) as a Veterinary Clinical Small Animal Organ Transplant Surgeon. Dr. Ruka's Ph.D. thesis entitled Impact of Hyperosmolar and Hyperoncotic Solutions on Tissue Water Distribution in Organs to be Transplanted (under Dr. Waldemar L. Olszewski, Professor of Surgery at the Department of Experimental Surgery and Transplantation, Medical Research Center, Faculty of Medicine, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, Poland and under Dr. Wojciech A. Rowiski, Professor of Surgery and Chairperson at the Department of General & Transplantation Surgery, Transplantation Institute, The Medical University of Warsaw, Poland) involved soft tissue (including vascular) surgeries in dogs including kidney transplantation, pre- and post- transplant care (including pain management and fluid therapy), pharmacology of drugs interacting with e.g. blood clotting, hormonal and cardiovascular systems, sedation, induction, general surgical anesthesia with biochemical, immunological, physiological and histological (biopsies) monitoring of donors and recipients supplemented by angiography, urography, and lymphography as well. Dr. Ruka has been trained in transplant and reconstruction surgeries (including general soft tissues surgery and microsurgery) by the medical surgeons in Poland (under Dr. Wojciech A. Rowiski, Professor of Surgery and Chairperson at the Department of General &Transplantation Surgery, Transplantation Institute, The Medical University of Warsaw, Poland and under Dr. Waldemar L. Olszewski, Professor of Surgery and Chairperson at the Department of Experimental Surgery and Transplantation, Medical Research Center, Faculty of Medicine, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, Poland), in Holland (Dr. Ch.R.M. Wildevuur, Professor of Surgery at the Department of Experimental Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, University of Groningen, Groningen, Holland), and in Kuwait (Dr. George M. Abouna, Professor of Surgery, Chairperson and Director of Organ Transplant Programs at the Department of Organ Transplantation, Faculty of Medicine, University of Kuwait, Kuwait City, Kuwait). During his academic appointments in Poland, Holland, Kuwait, and Canada he performed on small animals (dog, swine, monkey, rabbit, rat and mouse) soft tissue surgeries (kidney, liver, lung, heart, spleen, and skin) and vascular surgeries involving kidney, liver, pancreas, ileum, and lymph node transplantation (including kidney transplantation in dogs), using numerous protocols of organ storage and preservation with or without protocols of immunosuppression prolonging graft functional survival post-transplantation. Dr. Ruka is a Recipient of Post-Doctoral Fellowship awards in the field of organ / tissue transplantation and reconstruction form Holland (Dr. Ch.R.M. Wildevuur, Professor of Surgery at the Dept. of Experimental Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, University of Groningen, Groningen, Holland and Dr. Hans. Dikken, Director of the Central Animal Laboratory at the University of Groningen, Groningen, Holland) and Canada (Dr. Daniel Butler, Professor of Veterinary Medicine & Chairperson at the Dept. of Clinical Studies, OVC, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario, Canada). He is a Recipient of other professional awards in the field of organ / tissue transplantation and reconstruction as well. Additionally, during this period of time he was engaged in human clinical transplantation programs (under Professor Wojciech A. Rowiski in Poland, and under Professor George M. Abouna in Kuwait), participating as a second assistant in the surgeries to obtain kidneys from living related donors or from cadaver donors, kidney procurement and storage, and during their transplantation into human recipients. In Canada, in the Province of Ontario, Dr. Ruka, as a continuation of his independent organ and tissue preservation and transplantation work from Poland, Holland and Kuwait, has introduced and established an independent organ preservation and transplant programs involving co-operation with the Faculty Members from other Departments during his appointment at the Department of Clinical Studies, Ontario Veterinary College (OVC), University of Guelph, in Guelph, Ontario. He has introduced to the University of Guelph xeno-transplant programs (in utero, development of 50/50 pig/dog chimera in a pig-to-dog model) triggering an establishment of the University of Guelph Xenotransplant Group [Clinical and Investigative Medicine 1993; 16(4) B140-865], and at the OVC - the Comparative and Clinical Veterinary Transplant Group. At The Cambridge Center for Medical & Veterinary Sciences, Inc.(CMVS, a corporation which has been incorporated on September 14, 1999 pursuant to the Federal Laws of Canada) Dr. Ruka (Professor Veterinary Surgery) is engaged in continuing and establishing his clinical, teaching, research and diagnostic programs in the area of soft tissue surgery, organs and tissues procurement, storage and transplantation (e.g. kidney, pancreas, liver), immunology of rejection in various breeds and species such as dogs, cats, pigs, rats and mice, including other related disciplines (fields). He is also participating in the Company's campaign to raise a start-up capital, for PHASE ONE and PHASE 2 of the project (access a 32-slide presentation) to construct a teaching-learning Small Animal Hospital in Greater Toronto Area (GTA), as the first and only such facility in North America offering clinical kidney transplantation, a life-saving procedure, for dogs diagnosed with the end-stage of organ disease. Dr. Ruka (Publisher) has established the International Clinical & Comparative Medical & Veterinary Sciences Journal (ICCMVS Journal) - an on-line scientific journal providing an instant publishing system (in less than 24 hours) to the professional colleagues around the World, the authors' of manuscripts presenting their various clinical, teaching, applied research ideas, new concepts, techniques, points of view, and/or novel methods of treatment which are published without any delay(s), and for the purpose of securing and preserving the authors' intellectual rights, as well. For more information how to submit a manuscript, please refer to the Journal's web page: http://www.ccmvsjournal.com Furthermore, in his veterinary work on clinical patients (dogs, cats) in Poland (Warsaw), Holland (Dr. J.D.Th. Straatman's Small Animal Hospital, Groningen, The Netherlands) and Canada (Dr. Robert Butler's Guelph Small Animal Hospital, Guelph, Ontario, Canada), he has performed soft tissue surgeries including: ovariectomy, ovariohysterectomy, testectomy, prostatectomy, mastectomy, penile amputation, enterectomy, gastric torsion, skin parasites removal, extirpation of anal glands, pinna haematoma, skin tumors removal (including papilloma), toes(s) amputations in dogs, cats declaw, skin transplant, etc. His clinical and applied clinical research directions can be summarized as follows: (1) assessing the effect of kidney collection, storage and transplantation on organ or tissue function post-transplantation; (2) evaluating post-flushing, post-ischemic and post-reperfusion mechanisms of tissue injury following short and long-term cold storage; (3) evaluating, preventing, abrogating, or suppressing formation of tissue edema, tissue autolytic changes, tissue infection, or drug's induced cellular cytotoxicity, additionally to the mechanisms involved in tissue hyper-, acute- or chronic-rejection; (4) developing new protocols of immunosuppression and study mechanisms involved in a development of transplant tolerance; (5) monitoring the effect of environmental, nutritional and pharmaceutical factors on prevention, development and the treatment of e.g. uremia and diabetes in cliinical patients (dogs and cats). Dr. Ruka, as an invited speaker, has given lectures and seminars at the Harvard University, Boston, Massachusetts, USA; Laval University, Quebec City, Quebec, Canada; University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario, Canada; and Washington Hospital Centre, Washington D.C., USA on the subject of surgery, organ transplantation and transplant related immunology. As a result of his work 83 papers have been presented at several Transplantation Society of Canada, Canadian Society of Nephrology, Xenotransplantation, Microscopical Society of Canada, Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, etc. meetings in the form of oral or poster presentations, and published as regular articles, proceedings or abstracts in scientific and clinical journals. Additionally, he has also attended 30 medical (transplant and surgical) national and international congresses, conferences, symposia, meetings, workshops and courses. Dr. Ruka's experiences gained in his clinical, teaching, and applied research work, as briefly presented above, from Eastern Europe, Western Europe, Middle East, and North American academic environments in soft tissue surgery, comparative surgery, transplant surgery and medicine, are fully incorporated in constituting of The Cambridge Center for Medical & Veterinary Sciences Inc.
