This process involves taking a fully functional organ from the donor and placing it into the receiver whose own organ is not working as it should. ...
In this busy and crowded world, no one has the time or energy to look after themselves; our lack of effort and diminished sense of responsibility towards our health has led to stress, tension, and various health issues becoming an inseparable part of our lifestyle. One of the most popularly spread health issues is hypertension. According to estimates by The World Health ...
It has obvious antioxidant effect and has been used as a natural functional whitening raw material for cosmetics research and development. ...
Peritoneal dialysis has the additional advantage of reducing intraabdominal pressure and potentially alleviating compressive forces which compromise kidney function. In contrast to loop diuretics, which remove primarily hypotonic urine, cause large volume shifts, and lead to relative renal hypoperfusion, ultrafiltration slowly removes isotonic fluid. ...
Annotations Kidney toxicity is a significant side-effect withGal-3 plays an essential role in kidney fibrosis and renal failure, and it is one of the critical factors for renal injury Inhibition of Gal-3, mediated by MCP, antagonized the pro-apoptotic (cell death) effects. MCP- treated mice demonstrated increased renal function and reduced ...
Abstract Purpose: We evaluated Galectin-3 (Gal-3) as a potential early biomarker of acute kidney disease (AKI), and the effect of Gal-3 inhibition by modified citrus pectin (P-MCP) on renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) induced AKI. ...
Practice Good Urinating Techniques Emptying your bladder the right way helps keep your kidneys function efficiently, in a healthy way. So, don’t rush when urinating. ...
Google DeepMind recently published a paper in Nature that shared how their predictive algorithm can detect Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) up to 48 hours in advance. Acute Kidney Injury is the biggest problem you have never heard of. ...
Sepsis reportedly affects up to 30 million people each year. Lactate levels play a key role in diagnosing the condition and limiting its impact, as well as researching it's progression and developing possible treatments. Here's how. Sepsis is a medical condition and emergency, the definition of which has proven difficult and is based on fairly recent developments and research. It is the result ...
Introduction Vascular access (VA) is critical to hemodialysis (HD) in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and is central to patient functioning and quality of life. The type of VA is also a key driver of clinical events, particularly infections and thromboses, and consequent resource utilization and costs [1–8]. ...
Publication Summary: Recent advances in the directed differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells to kidney organoids advances the prospect of drug screening, disease modelling, and even restoration of renal function using patient-derived stem cell lines. ...
The purpose of this case study is to highlight ways in which medical algorithms can be integrated into the clinical decision making process. This case study is the first of a series focused on sepsis, a common but complex clinical problem. Use of algorithms can help healthcare providers diagnose sepsis early. Throughout our discussion, appropriate algorithms are suggested to help clinicians ...
Chronic administration to Wistar rats of Mild Silver Protein (MSP) to a dose of 222 mg Ag/kg/day in the drinking water for six months showed that the MSP produces argyria, with histopathological lesions in the kidney, the organ where silver accumulates. The histopathology of the kidney showed capillary damage, with alteration of the vascular wall, increased ...
Based on these relationships, the authors suggest that the PFC concentrations found in Charleston dolphins may have effects on immune, hematopoietic, kidney, and liver function. The results contribute to the emerging data on PFC health effects in this first study to describe associations between PFCs and health parameters in dolphins. ...
