Acute tubular necrosis (ATN) was described in canine babesiosis. Hypotension is considered as one of the factors which influence the development of hypoxic renal damage. In this study hypotension defined as mean arterial pressure (MAP) < 80 mmHg was detected in 7 out of 48 dogs (14.6%) infected with Babesia canis. Lower systolic arterial pressure (SAP), diastolic arterial pressure (DAP) and MAP...

The optimal dialysis dose for acute kidney injury is a matter of great controversy. Clinical trials, predominantly single-center studies, have shown conflicting results. The Acute Renal Failure Trial Network (ATN) Study was designed to compare clinical outcomes between patients allocated to an intensive dose versus a less-intensive dose of renal replacement therapy. Recently, the results of thi...

In this paper, we incorporate the augmented transition network (ATN) model into a distributed surveillance services (DSS) system. The DSS system is a distributed object-based system that integrates the next generation Internet-based applications in the architecture level and in the system design level. The DSS system establishes a firm basis for supporting a variety of potential cost-effective ...

We present a preliminary attempt at applying an Allometric Trophic Network (ATN) model to single-season population data from agricultural fields. We describe the population dynamics of Rhopalosiphum padi, an aphid pest species, using predator-prey interactions that depend on the relative body masses of species in the food web. Using simple statistical assumptions, we formulate an inverse proble...

A 51-year-old woman with adenomyosis was admitted because of anemia with schistocytosis, thrombocytopenia, and acute renal failure (ARF). Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) was considered. Plasma exchange and steroid therapies improved laboratory results. However, renal biopsy specimen revealed acute tubular necrosis (ATN), but not TMA, and thrombocytopenia, diagnosed it as disseminated intravasc...

Acute kidney injury (AKI) secondary to near-drowning is rarely described and poorly understood. Only few cases of severe isolated AKI resulting from near-drowning exist in the literature. We report a case of near-drowning who developed to isolated AKI due to acute tubular necrosis (ATN) requiring dialysis. A 21-yr-old man who recovered from near-drowning in freshwater 3 days earlier was admitte...

At the start of my career, I had the good fortune of working with Ron Kaplan on Bill Woods’ Lunar system (Woods et al., 1972). One day, in talking with Ron, I marvelled to him over the range of syntactic constructions I was able to implement in Lunar’s ATN grammar formalism. Ron replied was that you could implement anything in an ATN: the point was, rather, to identify the minimal machinery req...

Abstract Background and Aims Acute tubulointerstitial nephritis (ATIN) diagnostic lays on the kidney biopsy given absence of non-invasive biomarkers for disease demonstration follow-up. The aim this study was to evaluate accuracy ten urinary inflammatory-related cytokines in ATIN its clinical distinction from acute tubular necrosis (ATN). Method Observational prospective including 21 12 ATN pat...

BACKGROUND Qualitative aspects of the motor repertoire, at 11-16 weeks post-term are predictive for minor neurological dysfunction (MND) at 7 to 11 years of age. Predictive value of quantitative aspects is unknown so far. AIM To investigate whether quantitative aspects of the motor repertoire between 6 and 24 weeks post-term also have predictive value for neurological outcome at 7 to 11 years...
