Acute limb ischemia and anticoagulation in patients with history of atrial fibrillation
(2016)BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the commonest source of arterial embolization causing acute limb ischemia (ALI). The aim of this study was to assess the adherence of anticoagulation in AF patients and the treatment ... -
Antiparasitic and immunomodulatory effect of innovative treatments against Myxobolus sp. infection in Diplodus puntazzo
(2005)The potential antiparasitic and immunomodulatory effect of three treatments against myxosporean parasites on the innate immune system of sharpsnout sea bream (Diplodus puntazzo) was investigated. Fish naturally infected ... -
Aquaporins in health and disease
(2020)Aquaporins (AQPs) are transmembrane channel proteins that mainly facilitate the water translocation through the plasma cell membrane. For several years these proteins have been extensively examined for their biologic role ... -
Competing mortality in patients with neuroendocrine tumors
(2019)Objectives: Patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are at increased risk of mortality from competing causes in light of the improvement in overall survival over recent decades. The purpose of this study was to explore ... -
Full Blood Count as a Potential Predicting Factor of Contrast-Induced Nephropathy after Endovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair
(2016)[No abstract available] -
Histopathological evaluation and redox assessment in blood and kidney tissues in a rabbit contrast-induced nephrotoxicity model
(2017)Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a leading cause of hospital-acquired acute kidney injury as a result of iodinated contrast-media use for diagnostic purposes. Pathophysiology remains unclear. In the present study ... -
Nephrotoxicity in rabbits after long-term nandrolone decanoate administration
(2016)Among the various side effects of supra-physiological dose of anabolic androgenic steroids that are described, renal toxicity remains the least evaluated. The present study provides evidence that long-term administration ... -
Pathogenesis and management of intradialytic hypertension
(2014)Hypertension is common in chronic kidney disease patients especially in those undergoing hemodialysis (HD). Usually, blood pressure falls after the HD session but in some patients a paradoxical increase has been observed ... -
The preservation of accessory renal arteries should be considered the treatment of choice in complex endovascular aortic repair
(2022)Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate renal function and renal parenchymal length changes secondary to the coverage or preservation of accessory renal arteries (ARAs) in complex aortic repair. Methods: ... -
Remedies for kidney ailments in the "Botany Practical" (1838) by Dionysios Pyrros the Thessalian (1774-1853)

Renal function impairment in patients undergoing elective EVAR vs. Elective open repair during follow up period: A systematic review of the literature
(2017)Background: Endovascular (EVAR) or open surgical (OSR) repair are current treatment options for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Objective: To produce a systematic review comparing the impact of these 2 treatment options ... -
Renal Symptoms and Kidney Impairment Due to Dissecting Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
(2021)Renal artery stenosis leading to renal damage is not uncommon among patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm and has been identified in 20–38% of patients with aortic disease. In otherwise normal renal arteries, a thrombus ... -
SARS-CoV-2 pathophysiology and its clinical implications: An integrative overview of the pharmacotherapeutic management of COVID-19
(2020)Common manifestations of COVID-19 are respiratory and can extend from mild symptoms to severe acute respiratory distress. The severity of the illness can also extend from mild disease to life-threatening acute respiratory ... -
SGLT-2 inhibitors in diabetic kidney disease: What lies behind their renoprotective properties?
(2019)Background: Despite optimal management of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) with intensive glycemic control and administration of agents blocking the renin-angiotensinaldosterone-system, the residual risk for nephropathy ... -
Toll-like receptors and their role in renal pathologies
(2012)Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are the first identified and best studied family of pattern recognition receptors. Expressed in immunocytes, TLRs initiate innate immune responses and concurrently shape the subsequent adaptive ... -
Urine protein-to-creatinine ratio in cattle with subclinical renal disease
(2020)Background: Urinalysis is not routinely used in bovine medicine, and there is no evidence as to whether urine protein-to-creatinine ratio (UPC) could be used for the diagnosis of renal diseases in cattle. Objective: The ...
