objective: measurement of glomerular filtration rate (gfr) is the best determinant in assessment of kidney function for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. as extremely accurate methods of gfr measurement (i.e. inulin clearance) are expensive and time-consuming and due to limitations of the 24 hour urine collection method, some formula have been developed for the gfr measurement. here we have ...

OBJECTIVES Cancer has been investigated using various pre-targeting techniques or models focusing on radiobombesin analogues; however, both are not offered together. In this study, nano-bombesin labeling by a pre-targeting system was undertaken to develop an alternative approach for prostate tumor treatment. METHODS A two-step pre-targeting system utilizing a combination of streptavidin (SA),...

OBJECTIVE To assess the evolution of individual renal function during the maturation process in terms of single kidney glomerular filtration rate (SKGFR) and split function in children with unilateral complex renal duplication. STUDY DESIGN We retrospectively reviewed the records of 44 children with unilateral complex duplex kidney. All affected kidneys had a poor or nonfunctioning dysplastic...

Introducción: El aneurisma de la arteria renal (AAR) es una patología poco común, sin embargo, su diagnóstico incidental cada vez más frecuente debido al uso creciente las técnicas imagen. Los AAR complejos (hiliares), dependientes distal y sus ramas, constituyen un subconjunto que presentan desafío terapéutico a ubicación anatómica pueden requerir reparación arterial extracorpórea autotrasplan...

A 23 year-old-female patient with a history of renal transplantation at the left iliac fossa 12 years ago underwent a recent renal transplantation to the right side, one month prior to our evaluation. The graft is carrying an ureteropelvic duplication with 2 ureterovesical anastomosis described by pelvic ultrasound. In the early postoperative course, a technetium-99m mercaptoacetylglycine-3 (Tc...

the effective factors of forward speed, cylinder rotation, and clearance between a combine’s cylinder and concave on wheat kernel breakage and seed germination were studied in karaj area using a 955 model john dear combine. this study was conducted on three levels of adjustment for each of the variables, 1.2, 1.8 and 2.5 km/hr for forward speed, 800, 900, 1000 rpm for cylinder rotation as well ...

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited disease that primarily affects the lungs and the digestive system, however, it also affects a number of other organs and systems. More than 90% of mortality of  CF patients is due to lung complications.  Healthy lungs are important for a long life for people with CF, We will discuss two important topics for maintaining respiratory health. Chronic use of drug...

OBJECTIVE To assess the clinical outcome and imaging features of neonatal primary vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). STUDY DESIGN We prospectively followed 43 infants with primary VUR identified from among a cohort of 497 infants with fetal renal pelvis dilatation. Postnatal renal ultrasound (US) examinations were performed at 5 days and 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months of life. Voiding cystourethrograph...
