Advances in Ultrasound Technology in Oncologic Urology
(2009)Continuous innovations and clinical research in ultrasound (US) technology have upgraded the position of US in the imaging armamentarium of urologists. In particular, contrast-enhanced US and sonoelastography seem to be ... -
Cellular communication network 2 (connective tissue growth factor) aggravates acute DNA damage and subsequent DNA damage response-senescence-fibrosis following kidney ischemia reperfusion injury
(2022)Chronic allograft dysfunction with progressive fibrosis of unknown cause remains a major issue after kidney transplantation, characterized by ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). One hypothesis to account for this is that ... -
Comparison of isotonic activation of cell volume regulation in rat peritoneal mesothelial cells and in kidney outer medullary collecting duct principal cells
(2021)In disease states, mesothelial cells are exposed to variable osmotic conditions, with high osmotic stress exerted by peritoneal dialysis (PD) fluids. They contain unphysiologically high concentrations of glucose and result ... -
Comparison of physiological and post-endovascular aneurysm repair infrarenal blood flow
(2017)Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) of abdominal aortic aneurysms results in redirection of blood through the deployed endograft (EG). Even though EVAR is clinically effective, the absolute flow restoration is not warranted. ... -
Denominator changes may obscure results from single-well assays: β3-adrenoceptor ligand-induced changes of cell number as example
(2017)[No abstract available] -
Dietary antioxidant supplements and uric acid in chronic kidney disease: A review
(2019)Increased serum levels of uric acid have been associated with the onset and development of chronic kidney disease (CKD), cardiovascular disease, and mortality, through several molecular pathogenetic mechanisms, such as ... -
The effect of endovascular aneurysm repair on renal function in patients treated for abdominal aortic aneurysm
(2019)Aim: The effect of endovascular aneurysm repair in patients treated for abdominal aortic aneurysm has not been clearly defined. The objective of the present article was to provide a contemporary literature review and perform ... -
Effect of leptospirosis on the concentrations of streptomycin in liver and kidneys of pigs
(2013)Leptospirosis is a re-emerging infectious disease with zoonotic potential. Pigs are reservoir hosts of the pathogen and streptomycin is among the antibiotics proposed to eliminate leptospiral infection. The purpose of this ... -
Effects of allopurinol treatment on the progression of chronic nephritis in canine leishmaniosis (Leishmania infantum)
(2006)Forty dogs with canine leishmaniosis (CL) participated in this study, which was designed to investigate the effect of allopurinol on the progression of the renal lesions associated with this disease. The animals were ... -
Epidemiology and importance of renal dysfunction in heart failure patients
(2013)Renal dysfunction (RD) is a frequent comorbid condition and a major determinant of outcomes in patients with heart failure (HF). It is likely that the etiology of RD in patients with HF is much more complex than we first ... -
Evaluation of nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity of aminosidine (paromomycin)-allopurinol combination in dogs with leishmaniosis due to Leishmania infantum: A randomized, blinded, controlled study
(2019)Canine leishmaniosis due to Leishmania infantum is a widespread zoonotic disease. Although aminosidine can be an effective treatment, current therapeutic recommendations do not advocate its use, mainly due to concerns ... -
Global Policy Barriers and Enablers to Exercise and Physical Activity in Kidney Care
(2022)Objective: Impairment in physical function and physical performance leads to decreased independence and health-related quality of life in people living with chronic kidney disease and end-stage kidney disease. Physical ... -
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 ... -
Hypertension in chronic kidney disease: Novel insights
(2020)Management of arterial hypertension in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains a major challenge due to its high prevalence and associations with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and CKD progression. Several clinical ... -
Intra-renal hemodynamic changes after habitual physical activity in patients with chronic kidney disease
(2016)Background: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is considered a silent epidemic with a continuously growing prevalence around the world. Due to uremia many functional and morphological abnormalities occur in almost all systems. ... -
A low-protein, high-carbohydrate diet increases browning in perirenal adipose tissue but not in inguinal adipose tissue
(2017)Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the browning and origin of fatty acids (FAs) in the maintenance of triacylglycerol (TG) storage and/or as fuel for thermogenesis in perirenal adipose tissue (periWAT) and ... -
Morphometrical study of bovine kidneys with and without mild histological lesions [Étude morphométrique de reins de bovins avec et sans lésions histologiques légères]
(2020)Introduction: The objective of this study was to determine the renal dimensions in adult cows and to investigate whether they are affected by the breed, the age of the animals and the presence of subclinical renal ... -
The presence of microcystins in fish Cyprinus carpio tissues: a histopathological study
(2013)The occurrence of heavy cyanobacterial blooms has become a worldwide problem, as a consequence of eutrophication of the aquatic ecosystems; furthermore, 60% to 75% of these blooms have been found to be toxic. Microcystins ... -
Regulatory volume decrease of rat kidney principal cells after successive hypo-osmotic shocks
(2013)Outer Medullary Collecting Duct (OMCD) principal cells are exposed to significant changes of the extracellular osmolarity and thus the analysis of their regulatory volume decrease (RVD) function is of great importance in ... -
