  Puramo's Korean Medicine Institute
He widely divided the human trunk containing the organs into the upper jiao and the lower jiao with respect to yin and yang, and then further divided the upper jiao into the upper jiao and the upper middle jiao, and the lower jiao into lower middle jiao and lower jiao.
It's important to understand that the four organs are assigned to their respective four jiaos not according to their anatomical location, but from the yin-yang viewpoint.
Therefore it was seen that only the four organs of lungs, pancreas, liver and kidneys are symbols of the body while the heart is a symbol of the spirit.

The first theoretical error found in Kwon's theory is that he interpreted the organ structure determined by the Five Element Theory's mutual generation and destruction concept that explains or relates to the excess and deficiency of four organs (lungs, spleen, liver, kidneys) as a real human organ structure.
The organ structure of Kwon's TEC results from the recognition of four organs (lungs, spleen, liver, kidneys) determined under the Five Element Theory's mutual generation and destruction relationships concept.
The kidneys, the mother organ of liver, becomes the second strongest organ, due to the excessive liver ; and, the spleen becomes the second weakest organ under the influence of the weakest lungs.

  Rambles: Steve Reich, "Four Organs" & "Phase Patterns"
"Four Organs" is an important composition, and Reich and composer Philip Glass are among the performers.
The four organists collaborate in producing the chord while a fifth musician keeps a steady eighth-note rhythm on maracas.
Listeners may have a positive reaction to "Four Organs" (or a negative one), but the piece started with the idea of a gradually lengthened repeated chord -- not a melodic phrase, catchy rhythm or tonal color.

  The Four Organs
There are four organs of primary importance in Unani: the brain, the heart, the liver, and the testicles or ovaries.
By this is meant that the brain is served by the nerves, the heart by the arteries, the liver by veins, the testicles by spermatic vessels, and the ovaries by the fallopian tubes.
The generative organs (testes, ovaries) give the masculine and feminine form and temperament, and form the generative elements for propagation of the race.

 Four Organs Encyclopedia Information @ StardustMemories.com (Stardust Memories)   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Four Organs is a work for four electronic organs and maracas by Steve Reich.
The four organs, harmonically expound a dominant eleventh chord (D-E-F#-G#-A-B with an E in the bass), dissecting the chord by playing parts of it sequentially while the chord slowly increases in duration from a single 1/8 note at the beginning to 200 beats at the end.
For performances of the piece, Reich recommended using electronic organs with as plain and simple a timbre as possible, without vibrato, to avoid the sound of the instrument itself distracting from the harmonic and rhythmic aspects of the piece.

 ========= Yedam =========
Lee Jema explains that each person is born with one of the four organ structures.
That doesn't mean simply that the lungs are big and the liver small, but that the lungs, esophagus, tongue, brain and skin are strong, and the liver, small intestine, navel, nose and hypodermic tissues are weak.
For example, in Chinese medicine there is a theory that lungs relate to the skin, but there isn't a theory that lungs relate also to tongue, brain, and esophagus.

 AEGiS-LT: Strides Made in Screening Transplant Organs Medicine: Even with safeguards, diseases have been introduced. ...
In the 1960s, organs such as kidneys were routinely harvested from dying cancer patients, resulting in malignancies in nearly half the recipients, according to Dr. Israel Penn, professor of surgery at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, who tracks tumors in transplant recipients.
After a Virginia case in which scores of blood, tissue, bone and organ recipients from a single donor were exposed to HIV that had gone undetected, a new series of donor screening tests was added and later refined.
However, according to the association and medical literature, over the past 15 years four people who received corneas from donors with undiagnosed cases of rabies have died from that disease within 30 days of the operation, including two recipients from the same donor in Thailand.

 Four new organs, one birthday - The Boston Globe
This week, Abdullah is scheduled to leave Children's Hospital, the recipient of New England's first-ever abdominal quadruple organ transplant surgery, in which doctors gave him a new liver, a new small intestine, a new pancreas, and a new stomach.
Abdullah's story embodies the serendipity, both tragic and happy, of organ donation: one infant nears death; another happens to die, and in the nick of time the two are brought together.
The operation was simple in one sense: Surgeons only had to connect the new organs to a single major artery and a vein, which supply most of the organs in the abdominal region with blood.

 Update: Investigations of West Nile Virus Infections in Recipients of Organ Transplantation and Blood Transfusion
Although the transplanted organs were the source of infection for the four organ recipients, the source of the organ donor's infection remains unknown; an investigation of the numerous transfusions received by the organ donor is ongoing.
On August 1, four organs were recovered from an organ donor and were transplanted into four persons (1,2).
Although persons needing blood transfusions or organ transplants should be aware of the risk for WNV infection, the benefits of receiving needed transfusions or transplants outweigh the potential risk for WNV infection.

 Funerary Equipment - Theban Mapping Project
These four organs and their containers were under the protection of the Four Sons of Horus, each responsible for a particular organ (Imsety [14739] for the liver, Hapy [14742] for the lungs, Duamutef [14737] for the stomach, and Qebehsenuef [14744] for the intestines).
Beginning with the canopic chest of Amenhetep II, a new decorative program was introduced, with four protective goddesses, Isis, Nephthys, Neit and Serqet sculpted on the corners, their arms extended to embrace the sides of the chest [12646].
Four semicircular recesses in the sides of the burial pit of Rameses VII's tomb (KV 1) were probably intended to hold a set of canopic jars that also have not survived [16974].

 The 5 Organs Network of Chinese Medicine - Heart
It commands the movements of the four extremities, it circulates the qi and the blood, it roams the realms of the material and the immaterial, and it is in tune with the gateways of every action.
Its relationship to the other organs is hierarchical; not only do the twelve channel networks attune their respective qi [functions] to the directives of the heart, but they offer their entire jing [material essences] as tribute to nourish the heart.
While the zang organ serves as a residence (the shen resides in the heart) and a major transporter (the heart moves the blood) the fu organ serves only as a transfer station, temporarily storing material that is to be discharged.

The chest itself was a solid block with four cylindrical compartments sealed with lids in the shape of the king's head (though probably not of Tutankhamun himself).
