The development of novel immunosuppressants, coupled with advances in immunology, surgical techniques, donor selection and postoperative care have all contributed to improved outcomes for solid organ transplants, which is now established treatment for organ failure of the kidney, pancreas, liver, heart or lung. While modern immunosuppressive regimes have led to important improvements in short-term graft survival rates, these have not been accompanied by a proportionate increase in long-term graft survival.There remains a need for novel agents that can reduce the incidence of acute and chronic rejection: however, achieving large increases in long-term graft survival will be challenging as most causes of graft loss are not due to a lack of efficacy of current immunosuppressants, but are due to medical complications, disease recurrence, non-adherence and most importantly, death with a functioning graft.Bristol-Myers Squibbs belatacept is likely to become the first new class of primary immunosuppressant approved for over ten years, with potential to improve long-term graft outcomes in kidney transplantation. As with calcineurin inhibitors, belatacept must be administered for the...more

It can be especially scary if you looked at your body, and realized that you were bruising, and you know that you didn't hurt yourself. You would most certainly ask yourself why you are bruising all of a sudden. If you are taking the drug Warfarin, this will certainly be a cause for the onset of sudden bruising. A lot of people don't realize this. Even though there are bruise treatments available, but first, let's look at why the bruising comes about in the first place.The prescription drug Warfarin is usually prescribed to people who have a tendency to develop thrombosis or to people who have already developed a blood clot. When Warfarin is taken, it helps reduce the chance of embolism by reducing the clot's size and helping reduce the possibility that new clots will form.
