Renal phosphate excretion and serum level are critically determined by several sodium-dependent phosphate transporters expressed in the proximal tubule, among them NaPi-IIa and NaPi-IIc.1,2 In humans, mutations in NaPi-IIc (SLC34A3) cause hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets with hypercalciuria. In contrast, the role of NaPi-IIa (SLC34A1) in renal syndromes of hyperphosphaturia and nephrolithias...

In this paper, we propose a self-supervised contrastive learning method to learn video feature representations. traditional methods, constraints from anchor, positive, and negative data pairs are used train the model. such case, different samplings of same treated as positives, clips videos negatives. Because spatio-temporal information is important for representation, set temporal more strictl...

BACKGROUND Osteonecrosis of the femoral head can lead to destruction of the hip joint and disabling arthritis in young adults, if left untreated. Among the salvage procedures, core decompression combined with bone graft substitutes is a viable option for joint preservation. The purpose of this study was to review the outcomes of using synthetic bone graft substitute (calcium sulfate and calcium...

The hormone fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is secreted from bone and is involved in phosphorus (P) metabolism. FGF23 mainly binds the FGF receptor, which interacts with αKlotho in the kidney or parathyroid and regulates Na-dependent phosphate co-transporter type IIa (NaPi-IIa) and type IIc (NaPi-IIc) expression, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) activity, and parathyroid hormone (PTH)...

Media-based modulation (MBM) is a novel technique that can improve the spectral efficiency of existing wireless systems. In MBM, multiple radio frequency (RF) mirrors are placed near transmit antenna(s) and switched ON/OFF to create different channel fade realizations. such systems, additional information conveyed through status RF along with conventional symbols. A challenging task at receiver...

The high cost of feed has been the major hindrance to a growth, sustainability, profitability, and expansion poultry production. Black soldier fly larva (BSFL) meal is one most promising alternative protein sources widely accepted globally. This study evaluated growth performance improved indigenous chicken (IIC)-fed diets containing different inclusion levels BSFL meals. rates included 0% (Die...

HEREDITARY HYPOPHOSPHATEMIC rickets with hypercalciuria (HHRH) is an autosomal recessive inherited disorder of mineral and bone metabolism. It is characterized by hypophosphatemia, rickets, and increased serum 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D concentration, resulting in secondary absortive hypercalciuria and is also associated with renal calcification and renal stone disease (4, 8, 10, 11, 12, 14). HHRH...
