Even without reaching heat wave levels, sustained high temperatures may contribute to a litany of health issues.

Festivals like the Calgary Stampede and Montreal's Osheaga are full of fun, but how do you stay healthy and safe amid the ...

Renal physiology underpins the body’s ability to maintain homeostatic control over blood pressure, electrolyte balance and fluid volume. Recent advances in mathematical modelling have ...

Renal physiology involves the coordinated activity of specialised transporters and signalling molecules, which adjust the reabsorption and excretion of key ions such as sodium, potassium and chloride.

Diuretic doses in patients with heart failure could be down-titrated effectively using a simple, noninvasive, home-based monitoring system, according to findings from a pilot study presented at ...

The kidney, a critical organ for waste filtration and fluid regulation, is the subject of a molecular mapping project that could reshape our understanding of renal health. Despite advances in ...

In an effort to evaluate the additive effects of these same agents on renal function with equivalent reduction in blood pressure, investigators evaluated 263 patients (age range, 18-70) with ...

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) has been widely used in renal replacement therapy (RRT) for end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) and acute kidney injury (AKI) because of its convenience, home implementation, no ...

All patients who were not on loop diuretics, had chronic kidney disease with a creatinine clearance of less than 30 mL/min/1.73 m 2, or had acute kidney injury defined as rise in serum creatinine by ...

Aims This module aims to develop knowledge and understanding of the physiology of the renal and respiratory systems, involving a thorough grounding on the integrated and cellular aspects of system ...
