Drugs to Foster Kidney Regeneration in Experimental Animals and Humans

Drugs to foster kidney regeneration in experimental animals and humans.

BACKGROUND The incidence of kidney diseases is increasing worldwide and they are emerging as a major public health problem. Once mostly considered inexorable, renal disease progression can now be halted and lesions can even regress with drugs such as angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) and angiotensin II type I receptor blockers, indicating the possibility of kidney repair.

Chemicals and cancer in humans: first evidence in experimental animals.

Certain human diseases have been traced to exposure to environmental and occupational chemicals. In many instances the first evidence of potential adverse effects came from experimental studies and were subsequently discovered in humans. Associations of human cancers, as a diverse group of diseases, and chemicals have been made since the middle 1700s. Since then, nearly 100 chemicals, mixtures ...

Sequelae of Methanol Poisoning in Humans and Experimental Animals

The minimal lethal dose of methanol in humans has not been determined. It has been suggested that about I g kg can cause death if the patient is untreated and has not consumed ethanol.43 In some clinical cases, the blood methanol content is low in the last phase of the poisoning. In three such cases blood methanol concentration was 0.275,_0.277. and 0.194 gi , respectively. On the assumption th...
