New research led by Nita A. Limdi at the University of Alabama at Birmingham reports that the presence of chronic kidney disease is a major factor affecting the efficacy and safety of anticoagulant medications taken to prevent blood clots. The findings, reported in Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics, shine a spotlight on the effects of chronic kidney disease on the outcomes of patients taking traditional anticoagulants or newer direct-acting oral anticoagulants.
Patients with cardiovascular disease are frequently prescribed anticoagulants to prevent blood clots from forming and potentially leading to stroke or systemic embolism. The new study looked at traditional anticoagulants such as warfarin, and a newer class of direct-acting anticoagulants, such as apixaban, dabigatran and others.
US takes another step back to normalcy
Apr 28, 2021
NEW YORK (AP) The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention eased its guidelines Tuesday on the wearing of masks outdoors, saying fully vaccinated Americans don’t need to cover their faces anymore unless they are in a big crowd of strangers.
And those who are unvaccinated can go outside without masks in some situations, too.
The new guidance represents another carefully calibrated step on the road back to normal from the coronavirus outbreak that has killed over 570,000 people in U.S.
For most of the past year, the CDC had been advising Americans to wear masks outdoors if they are within 6 feet of one another.

“Today, I hope, is a day when we can take another step back to the normalcy of before,” CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said. “Over the past year, we have spent a lot of time telling Americans what you can’t do. Today, I am going to tell you some of the things you can do, if you are fully vaccinated.”
