Prevalence of proteinuria in rural adult population in Tamil Nadu.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Presence of proteinuria is considered as an early marker of an increased risk of progressive kidney disease. Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors (ACEi) and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARB) treatment to persons with proteinuria and chronic kidney disease has been shown to decrease the progression to endstage renal disease. As the exact prevalence of prote...
متن کاملChanges in the Upper and Lower Pharyngeal Airway Spaces Associated with Rapid Maxillary Expansion
Objectives. The primary objectives of this retrospective study were first to compare the upper and lower pharyngeal airway spaces between orthodontic patients with and without maxillary constriction and second to evaluate the effect of rapid maxillary expansion (RME) on these airway spaces. A secondary objective was to compare the mode of breathing between groups. Materials and Methods. The exp...
متن کاملGenetic variation of 15 autosomal microsatellite loci in a Tamil population from Tamil Nadu, Southern India.
The genetic profiles for 15 autosomal microsatellite loci were analyzed in a Tamil population from Southern India to study the genetic diversities and relatedness of this population with other national and global populations. Statistical analyses of the data revealed all loci were within Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium (HWE) expectations with the exception of the locus D5S818 (p=0.011). A significan...
متن کاملMass loading of the upper airway extraluminal tissue space in rabbits: effects on tissue pressure and pharyngeal airway lumen geometry.
Lateral pharyngeal fat pad compression of the upper airway (UA) wall is thought to influence UA size in patients with obstructive sleep apnea. We examined interactions between acute mass/volume loading of the UA extra-luminal tissue space and UA patency. We studied 12 supine, anesthetized, spontaneously breathing, head position-controlled (50 degrees ), New Zealand White rabbits. Submucosal ext...
