1. The effect of administering triamcinolone acetonide (10 mg kg-1 day-1) as seven consecutive single daily subcutaneous injections on urinary urea output and muscular atrophy was studied in rabbits. 2. The ratio of the wet weight of the lateral vastus of the quadriceps muscle to body weight (MI)
Background Uremic neuropathy commonly affects patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), with painful sensations in the feet, followed by numbness and weakness in the legs and hands. The symptoms usually resolve following kidney transplantation, but the mechanisms of uremic neuropathy and
OBJECTIVE
Early neurological deterioration (END) occurs in about 20 to 40 per cent of patients with acute ischaemic stroke and results in increased mortality and functional disability. In recent studies relative dehydration has been found to be associated with END in patients with acute ischaemic
UCDs are among the most common inherited metabolic diseases in Japan. We investigated the clinical manifestations, treatment, and prognoses of 177 patients with UCDs who were evaluated and treated from January 1999 to March 2009 in Japan, using a questionnaire survey. Among these 177 patients, 42
We present a case of severe hyperammonemia with subsequent brain herniation in an adult man after renal transplantation. After successful surgery and an initially uneventful postoperative course, the patient developed significant mental status changes associated with seizure activity. His condition
Intrauterine growth retardation associated with maternal undernutrition is proposed to play a significant role in the aetiology of hypertension and CHD. Animal experiments suggest that the kidney, which is extremely vulnerable to the adverse effects of growth-retarding factors, may play an important
BACKGROUND
The definition of Helicobacter pylori-negative gastric cancer depends on the accuracy of diagnosis of H. pylori infection. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of H. pylori-negative gastric cancer and to clarify relationships with histological atrophy, endoscopic atrophy,
Background: Non-invasive diagnosis of interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (IF/TA), a major cause of chronic allograft dysfunction in post-kidney transplantation (post-KT), is needed.
Objective:
Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a complex neuropsychiatric syndrome resulting from acute or chronic hepatic impairments. The clinical features of HE include attention as well as a mild cognitive deficits associated with impaired attentional and executive networks in patients as well as in animal
OBJECTIVE
Dehydration on admission is correlated with neurological deterioration (ND). The primary objective of our study was to use support vector machine (SVM) algorithms to identify an ND prognostic model, based on dehydration equations.
METHODS
This study included a total of 382 patients
The vitelline membrane of hen's egg has been successfully solubilized in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), guanidine hydrochloride and urea solutions, and its macromolecular components examined. SDS-gel electrophoresis of the membrane solution revealed the presence of three major components designated
Bone loss can occur as a result of various pathologies, traumas and injuries and poor bone healing leads to functionally debilitating condition, loss of self-sufficiency and deterioration in life quality. Given the increasing incidence of facial trauma and the emergence of new procedural techniques,
BACKGROUND
Detection of Helicobacter pylori infection in atrophic body gastritis (ABG) is difficult, as during progression of body atrophy, H. pylori disappears.
OBJECTIVE
To increase the diagnostic yield of detection of active H. pylori infection in atrophic body gastritis patients by using
