cox regression model serves as a statistical method for analyzing the survival data, which requires some options such as hazard proportionality. in recent decades, artificial neural network model has been increasingly applied to predict survival data. this research was conducted to compare cox regression and artificial neural network models in prediction of kidney transplant survival. the prese...

hypertension is a common complication of kidney transplantation with the prevalence of 80%. studies in adults have shown a high prevalence of hypertension (htn) in the first three months of transplantation while this rate is reduced to 50- 60% at the end of the first year. htn remains as a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, lower graft survival rates and poor function of transplante...

“Experience Teaches” Claude Bernard The kidney plays a key role in homeostasis, maintains the internal environment and ensures physiological for approximately 100 trillion cells human body. nephron’s anatomic histological structure, with more than 20 types of specialized cells, reveals an architecture strategically focused on impeccable endothelium/epithelium functional interaction. Pathophysio...
