A Chick Model for Impaired Renal Function

Impaired renal function in acute myocardial infarction.

Impaired renal function is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and an adverse prognostic factor in patients with established cardiovascular disease. In addition, with current widespread use of invasive procedures in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction, contrast-induced nephropathy is a growing problem in this patient population. In acute myocardial infarction, impaired renal funct...

Allopurinol in patients with impaired renal function.

Unilateral renal agenesis in chick embryos: a model for chronic renal insufficiency.

Although renal agenesis and dysgenesis are relatively common and significant birth defects, no animal model to date has been utilized to adequately study these developmental pathologies. Blockage of the migration of the mesonephric duct in Day 2 chick embryos results in unilateral renal agenesis (URA) on the operated side, thus providing a model of chronic renal insufficiency. Embryos with URA ...

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

Pharmacokinetics of enfuvirtide in a patient with impaired renal function.

Enfuvirtide is the first member of the fourth class of antiretroviral drugs to become available. We present a case report of a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patient with mild renal impairment who developed severe renal impairment secondary to tenofovir therapy while receiving enfuvirtide. Because the patient's pharmacokinetic profile was not significantly altered, compared with th...
