Predicting Dosage of Immunosuppressant Drugs After Kidney Transplantation Using Machine Learning [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 While kidney transplants are seen as the best treatment option for patients with end-stage renal disease and kidney failure, the organ's health depends on the dosage of immunosuppressant drugs post-transplantation. Due to the dosage variance based on each patient's unique physiology, nephrologists face numerous difficulties when determining the precise

Nonimmunologic targets of immunosuppressive agents in podocytes
Kidney Research and Clinical Practice, 2015 Proteinuria is a characteristic finding in glomerular diseases and is closely associated with renal outcomes. In addition, therapeutic interventions that reduce proteinuria improve renal prognosis.

Optimal Kidney Exchange with Immunosuppressants [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Algorithms for exchange of kidneys is one of the key successful applications in market design, artificial intelligence, and operations research. Potent immunosuppressant drugs suppress the body's ability to reject a transplanted organ up to the point that a transplant across blood- or tissue-type incompatibility becomes possible.

Quantitative Methods for Optimizing Patient Outcomes in Liver Transplantation [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Liver transplantation continues to be the gold standard for treating patients with end-stage liver diseases. However, despite the huge success of liver transplantation in improving patient outcomes, long term graft survival continues to be a major problem.

Triiodothyronine suppresses humoral immunity but not T-cell-mediated immune response in incubating female eiders (Somateria mollissima) [PDF]
Gen. Comp. Endocrinol. 151 (2007) 188-194, 2007 Immunity is believed to share limited resources with other physiological functions and this may partly account for the fitness costs of reproduction. Previous studies have shown that the acquired immunity of female common eiders (Somateria mollissima) is suppressed during the incubation fast.

New immunosuppressive agents in transplantation
La Presse Médicale, 2022 Immunosuppressive agents have enabled the development of allogenic transplantation during the last 40 years, allowing considerable improvement in graft survival. However, several issues remain such as the nephrotoxicity of calcineurin inhibitors, the cornerstone of immunosuppressive regimens and/or the higher risk of opportunistic infections and ...

Cooperative coinfection dynamics on clustered networks [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 103, 042307 (2021), 2020 Coinfection is the process by which a host that is infected with a pathogen becomes infected by a second pathogen at a later point in time. An immunosuppressant host response to a primary disease can facilitate spreading of a subsequent emergent pathogen among the population.
