Now that the malevolent Graham-Cassidy bill has died, my focus is returning to helping people in more positive ways. One is to come together and help each other through organ donation.
The wait list for organs has been growing much more rapidly than the available supply from donors. Every 10 minutes, someone is added to a waiting list; 20 people die each day awaiting a transplant.

A key objective in the use of immunosuppression after kidney transplantation is to attain the optimal balance between efficacy and safety. In a phase 3b, multicenter, randomized, open-label, noninferiority study, the incidences of clinical events, renal dysfunction, and adverse events (AEs) were analyzed at 12 months in 309 de novo renal transplant recipients receiving everolimus (EVR), low-dose tacrolimus (LTac), and prednisone.

A recently published analysis of veterans with hepatocellular carcinoma showed that receipt of liver transplantation, Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer stage and multidisciplinary tumor board correlated with higher 3-year health care costs but increased survival time.
“HCC care consumes tremendous healthcare resources, likely higher than previously estimated,” David E. Kaplan, MD, MSc, a gastroenterologist at University of Pennsylvania and Philadelphia VA Medical Center, and colleagues wrote.

Although the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease sodium (MELD Na) score is now used for liver transplant allocation in the United States, mortality prediction may be underestimated by the score. Using aggregated electronic health record data from 7834 adult patients with cirrhosis, we determined whether the cause of cirrhosis or cirrhosis complications was associated with an increased risk of death among patients with a MELD Na score ≤15 and whether patients with the greatest risk of death could benefit from liver transplantation (LT).

A new and novel genetic assay offers the possibility of predicting autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) outcomes for patients with relapsed classical Hodgkin lymphoma, according to its developers.
Perhaps even more importantly, the authors of a new study wrote, the gene expression-based prognostic model dubbed RHL30 has the potential to provide powerful insights for the selection of treatment strategies catered to the individual patient.

Ischemia–reperfusion injury (IRI) evokes intragraft inflammatory responses, which markedly augment alloimmune responses against the graft. Understanding the mechanisms underlying these responses is fundamental to develop therapeutic regimens to prevent/ameliorate organ IRI. Here, we demonstrate that IRI results in a marked increase in mitochondrial damage and autophagy in dendritic cells (DCs).
