She also tells him to ask for an advance to cover their last payment on their twenty-five year home mortgage, as well as payments on their refrigerator and Willy's life insurance premium. He agrees. Willy's dreams can never withstand his financial reality. Yet notice that he and Linda have almost succeeded in one aspect of the American Dream—home ownership.
Yet Willy seems uninterested. He's already dreaming of more. Before Willy leaves, Linda tells him that the boys want to take him to a fancy dinner at Frank's Chop House, a steak restaurant in Manhattan. Willy is elated, but just then notices a stocking in Linda's hand. He tells her not to mend stockings, at least not while he's around.
A fancy dinner with his sons is a dream come true for Willy—a sign that his sons, and therefore he, are successful. But the repetition of Willy and Linda's stocking conversation hints that Willy hasn't dealt with shame or consequences of his infidelity.
Fathers and Sons. Right after Willy leaves, Linda answers a phone call from Biff. She tells him what she thinks is good news: that the rubber hose Willy attached to the gas heater is gone, implying that he took it away himself. She is disappointed to hear that Biff was the one who removed it the night before. In the presence of Willy's infectious good mood, Linda had allowed herself a dream of her own: that Willy has given up suicide.
Abandonment and Betrayal. Willy arrives at Howard Wagner's office, and timidly enters. Howard is playing with a wire recorder he bought for dictation, but has been using to record his own family.
He makes Willy listen to his daughter whistling, his son reciting state capitals, and his shy wife refusing to talk. Willy tries to praise the device, but Howard shushes him. Howard then tells Willy he should get one of the recorders, as they only cost a hundred and fifty dollars. Willy promises to do just that. He is more interested in his toy than in Willy, and doesn't realize, or care, that what he paid for that toy would lift Willy and his family out of financial trouble.
Willy, meanwhile, continues to sell himself as a successful man. When Howard gets around to asking why Willy isn't in Boston, Willy explains that he doesn't want to travel anymore. Howard says no position is available, and looks for his lighter. Willy finds the lighter and hands it to Howard, and, growing desperate, reminds Howard that he helped name him. Willy lowers his salary requirement to fifty dollars a week, but Howard reiterates that there's no position.
Howard inherited his position from his father, who built his company in part on Willy's labor. But Howard sees as outdated the system of loyalty and personal connections in which Willy has put total faith. When Willy hands Howard the lighter, he breaks his own advice to Biff about never handing anything to Oliver. Related Quotes with Explanations.
Willy tells a story of a salesman who inspired him, Dave Singleman. Dave sold until he was eighty-four, going into hotel rooms and contacting buyers by phone. He died "the death of a salesman," alone in a train compartment, but was mourned by hundreds of salesmen and buyers. As a young man, Willy had wanted to go to Alaska and try to strike it rich like his father and brother, but Dave's success and respected position convinced Willy that selling was honorable, full of potential, and "the greatest career a man could want.
Willy's choice of role model shows that he has absorbed the wrong values from the American Dream. Rather than having family and friends at his funeral, Singleman, whose name hints at how alone he was, died at work and was mourned only by business contacts. Singleman is the epitome of Willy's desire to be "well liked," which is more superficial than either being loved or doing something you love. Willy continues to mention Howard 's father and lowers his salary requirement, but Howard is uninterested.
He leaves his office to speak with some other employees, telling Willy him to pull himself together in the meantime. Willy, alone, begins to speak to the late Frank Wagner, the former owner of the company and Howard's father, but accidentally turns on the tape recorder, filling the room with the voice of Howard's son. He anxiously shouts for Howard to come back and turn it off. In Willy's time of need, Howard abandons him. Willy's inability to use the recorder symbolizes how the world has past him by.
When he accidentally turns on the recorder while he's speaking with his memory of Frank in Howard's office, Willy is surrounded by three generations of Wagners, all of whom have been or will be more successful than he and his children.
Howard comes back in and unplugs the tape recorder. He tells Willy that he is no longer welcome to represent the company in Boston. Referring to Willy, his elder, by the term "kid," Howard tells Willy to take a long rest and let his sons support him. Willy refuses out of pride, but as Howard continues to insist it eventually dawns on Willy that he is being fired. Willy's exaggerations have caught up with him, as Howard believes that Biff and Happy are far more successful than they actually are.
Howard's disrespectful use of the word "kid" implies that he, like Willy, equates wealth with personal worth. Howard leaves, and Willy slips into a memory in which Ben is offering him an opportunity to come to Alaska to manage a tract of timberland. Before Willy can accept, Linda appears and tells Ben that Willy is on track to become a member of the firm, so he can't take the offered job. Ben asks Willy whether he can reach out and touch his success.
Willy responds by pointing to his son, Biff , who plays football and is about to go to college. He tells Ben that what's important isn't what you do, but being liked by people, and that this quality is as tangible as timber. Willy and Ben are arguing from different belief systems. Ben, like the old time barons of industry who built their wealth through coal, steel, or railroads, believes that wealth is a physical thing that you can build and touch.
Willy, in contrast, has invested his effort in his sons and in his own personality and business relationships. Now in a new memory, Bernard enters as the Loman family is preparing to go to Biff 's football game. He asks to carry Biff's helmet, but Happy insists on carrying that. Biff allows Bernard to carry his shoulder pads. Charley enters and jokes with Willy about the game, trying to deflate Willy's excessive expectations about the game. Willy becomes angry and accuses Charley of thinking he's better than everyone else.
Willy's sense of success as a combination of personality, luck and glory is evident in the emphasis he places on Biff's success on the football field rather than in the classroom.

Although there was significantly more red cell congestion RCC in the inner stripe of the outer medulla IS in both 1 h after cardiac death CD1h and CD2h kidneys destined for grafts before transplantation compared with CD0h p,0. Consistent with these pathological findings, tissue plasminogen activator tPA gene expression was increased only in the cortex and medulla of CD2h kidney grafts after transplantation.
Diffusion MRI also non-invasively assessed increased the apparent diffusion coefficient in the IS and decreased it in the outer stripe OS of CD2h grafts, in concordance with interstitial edema in the IS and tubule cellular edema in the OS. These two types of edema in the outer medulla could explain the prolonged RCC in the IS only of CD2h kidney grafts, creating part of a vicious cycle inhibiting red cells coming out of capillary vessels in the IS.
BOLD and diffusion MRI, which are readily available non-invasive tools for evaluating CD kidney grafts tissue damage, can predict prolonged organ damage, and therefore the outcome, of transplanted CD kidney grafts.

Competing Interests: Takashi Yokawa, Ph. Most of this The worldwide shortage of organs for transplantation has evidence has focused on NR prior to DCD liver transplantation highlighted expanded criteria donors ECDs and donation after [3—5]. In the case of renal transplantation, one clinical study cardiac death DCD as new organ sources. Because kidney grafts reported significant improvements in delayed graft function and from ECDs and DCD are more susceptible to additional ischemia- graft survival after transplantation using NR compared with reperfusion injuries than are those from living or brain-dead conventional organ cooling methods [6].
One of the common donors, these grafts are more likely to develop primary dysfunction features of ischemic kidney damage, congestion of blood in the and delayed graft loss[1]. In spite of considerable efforts to protect capillaries of the inner stripe IS of the outer medulla, is thought to such marginal donor kidneys, conventional static cold storage possibly impair both circulation and tubular flow [7].
Although its combined with intra-cellular type solution has remained the pathogenesis is still obscure, it is proposed that dramatic capillary primary option, even for damaged kidneys [2]. MRI measurement methods for cardiac death CD kidney grafts. Three left kidneys were attached to plastic plates and soaked in a 4uC UW solution immediately after harvest or perfusion.
Scale bar: 1 cm. Right: The sectional positions of longitudinal kidney MRI images. To get the mid longitudinal plane image of a kidney graft, series of MRI images were taken in parallel with the plastic plate. B MRI images of selected regions referenced by T2 weighted images. Scale bar: 0. Brownian motion causes incoherent phase shifts, which lead to To improve graft function, non-invasive tools for assessing tissue attenuated signals[13,14].
In the process of seeking optimal data, it is possible to calculate an apparent diffusion coefficient storage conditions for DCD kidney grafts, we found that bilaterally ADC , which represents microscopic translational motion, nephrectomized rats transplanted with cardiac death CD 0 and 1 including both molecular diffusion of water and microcirculation h kidneys survived.
However, rats with CD2h kidneys that were of blood in capillary perfusion [14—16].
