Diabetic nephropathy, or diabetic kidney disease, affects 20 to 30 percent of patients with diabetes. It is a common cause of kidney failure. Diabetic nephropathy presents in its earliest stage with low levels of albumin (microalbuminuria) in the urine. The most practical method of screening for
This appendix describes the preparation of selected bacterial media and of buffers and reagents used in the manipulation of nucleic acids and proteins. Recipes for cell culture media and reagents are located elsewhere in the manual. RECIPES: Acids, concentrated stock solutions; Ammonium acetate, 10
A group of 170 patients having functional renal allografts were evaluated at least six months after renal transplantation. They were assessed for symptoms and signs of tendinitis in the Achilles and Supraspinatus tendons. Of the 170 patients, 34 had tendinitis. Four patients (11.8%) had spontaneous
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to identify the causes, symptoms, and complications of hypoproteinemia to prevent hypoproteinemia and provide appropriate treatment to children with atopic dermatitis.
METHODS
Children diagnosed with atopic dermatitis with hypoproteinemia and/or
Characterizing the phenotypic changes associated with aging in a short-lived primate is necessary in order to develop better translational models for human health, aging, and disease research. A population of conventionally housed marmoset monkeys was assessed to determine if phenotypes of body
A case of adult common variable hypogammaglobulinemia with nodular lymphoid hyperplasia characterized by malabsorption and enteric protein loss, probably due to bacterial overgrowth, is reported. This clinical condition is of particular interest because of the unusual pathology and the lack of an
OBJECTIVE
Extrahepatic biliary duct injuries such as transections, stenoses, and biliary leaks are well-known complications of upper abdominal surgeries. The popularization of laparoscopic cholecystectomies in the early 1990's resulted in an increase in the numbers of these reported injuries. The
The common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) is a nonhuman primate that is used for preclinical research on stem cell transplantation therapies due to its similarity to human beings as well as its small size, enabling researchers to perform experiments without preparing a large number of cells. In this
BACKGROUND
It is not yet possible to obtain crystal structures of anesthetic molecules bound to proteins that are plausible neuronal targets; for example, ligand-gated ion channels. However, there are x-ray crystal structures in which anesthetics are complexed with proteins that are not directly
We studied urinary albumin excretion in 2 different groups of teenage diabetics, one with HbA1 less than 10% (n = 15) and another with HbA1 greater than 13% (n = 17). We found a highly significant difference between the 2 groups regarding the albumin excretion rate (AER) in overnight urines. Median
Serum albumin and total globulin were determined in 22 healthy people, 29 patients with acute viral hepatitis, 27 patients with cirrhosis and 27 patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma to see if they might be of discriminating value. The mean serum albumin values were found to be highest in
We report herein a dual-purpose role for polyacidic domains in an aqueous-phase polymer amphiphile assembly. In addition to their typical role as ionized water-solubilizing and self-repulsive motifs, we find that polycarboxylic acid domains uniquely enable high levels of hydrophobic drug
Cardiovascular risk profiling and therapy have traditionally been based on established risk factors, such as age, smoking, sex, hypertension, dyslipidemia, body weight, and diabetes mellitus. Despite optimum therapy, cardiovascular mortality and morbidity remain high. Attention is being devoted,
