Abstract

In this note we consider the problem of drawing inference about the regression parameters in a linear model with survival data. A simple procedure based on the Buckley-James (1979, Biometrika 66, 429-436) estimating equation is proposed and illustrated with an example.

Cardiac allograft vasculopathy: current concepts and treatment.

Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) remains the leading limiting factor of patient and graft survival after the first post-operative year. The pathogenesis involves both immunological and non-immunological factors. Here, we present recent advances and discuss potential preventative and treatment regimens. A review of the current literature of heart transplantation, detailing molecular mechanisms, pharmacological risk factors and novel immunosuppression regimens was performed. Recent findings demonstrate the pivotal role of the endothelium, resulting in release of pro-fibrotic cytokines, recruitment of circulating leucocytes, proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells, and deposition of extracellular matrix proteins (ECMs). The role of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors and anti-hypertensives remains controversial, but there is increasing evidence advocating their prophylactic use. We can conclude that novel immunosuppressive agents such as rapamycin, mycophenolate mofetil and FTY-720 are experimental immunosuppressive agents that are undergoing evaluation in clinical trials. The prophylactic use of statins and anti-hypertensive drugs needs to be defined but needs to suggest potential strategies to prolong cardiac allograft survival.

Nonmelanoma skin cancer in organ transplant patients.

Nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) is more frequent in immunocompromised patients, for example, patients with organ transplants. A number of studies have been published from different countries that present a similar picture of tumors in transplant patients. In addition, the behavior of these tumors is often more aggressive in this group of high-risk patients. The multitude of NMSC and precancerous lesions presents a clinical diagnostic and therapeutic challenge to the managing dermatologists. Technology is being developed to cope with the clinical diagnosis and medical adjunct treatment to broaden the therapeutic options. It is suggested that the optimal use of these new developments occurs if patients are seen in specialized clinics aimed at providing preventive measures, diagnosis, and treatment.
