The spirochete Leptospira interrogans causes leptospirosis, a zoonosis. There are numerous clinical symptoms of leptospirosis. Clinical manifestations might range from subclinical infection with mild fever to severe jaundice and renal failure. Here, case leptospirosis acute failure, thrombocytopenia, hyperbilirubinemia is presented. A 51-year-old man presented fever, body aches, muscle colored ...

Introduction: Hydronephrosis is one of the major causes of referring infants for nuclear medicine investigation. Renal dynamic study is the most reliable investigation for such children. However direct evaluation of renogram leads to generation of parameters that have no physiological interpretation. The configuration of renogram is very much dependent upon the rate at which radiopharmace...

BACKGROUND Nephron-sparing surgery has become the standard treatment for T1 renal tumors. However, relevant data on the Taiwanese population are lacking, and most of the current literature uses global instead of split renal function (SRF) for postoperative renal function follow-up. We evaluated the postoperative renal function after minimally invasive partial nephrectomy in Taiwanese patients. ...

welding is one of the key components of numerous manufacturing industries, which has potential physical and chemical health hazards. many components of welding fumes can potentially affect the lung function. this study investigates the effects of welding fumes on lung function and respiratory symptoms among welders of an automobile manufacturing plant in iran. this historical cohort study asses...

a neural network is developed for the determination of leaky confined aquifer parameters. leakage into the aquifer takes place from the storage in the confining aquitard. the network is trained for the well function of leaky confined aquifers by the back propagation technique and adopting the levenberg–marquardt optimization algorithm. by applying the principal component analysis (pca) on the a...
