Renal ultrasound is one of the most frequently requested imaging studies in children. Indications include urinary tract infection (UTI), renal dysfunction and to exclude structural abnormalities—for ...

Anatomical and molecular abnormalities of excitatory neurons in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) are found in schizophrenia. We hypothesized that brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF ...

Preservation of renal integrity is critical in HFpEF populations as renal dysfunction is associated with a higher incidence of all‐cause and cardiovascular mortality, as well as HF‐related ...

Pericytes have been identified on capillaries in many organs of the body, including the kidney. Within the kidney, pericytes are primarily located on descending vasa recta (DVR) capillaries (Park et ...

Figure 3. Immunolocalization of a-smooth muscle actin (a-SM-actin) in the renal cortex from a control individual (A) and from a patient with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (B) using an ...

Interestingly, the renal medulla is especially rich in NO synthase, 1920 and medullary NO levels are higher than in the cortex. 21 Also, bradykinin has been shown to stimulate endothelial B 2 ...

Aminoglycoside antibiotics are a central component of the treatment of pulmonary exacerbations of cystic fibrosis (CF) and slow the decline in lung function which ultimately causes the death of most ...

In this paper we develop a fully automated method for the segmentation of the femur in axial MR images and its use in the analysis of imaging biomarkers for osteoarthritis (OA). The proposed method is ...

Objective Patients with renal failure suffer from symptoms caused by uraemic toxins, possibly of gut microbial origin, as deduced from studies in animals. The aim of the study is to characterise ...
