Abstract Background and Aims Attainment of a normal adult height remains great challenge in the care children with end stage kidney disease. Moreover, incidence overweight obesity increases post transplantation (KT). We aimed to describe growth parameters predictive factors KT. Method retrospectively reviewed records 28 who underwent KT our center between 2002-2022. Height (hSDS) body mass inde...

AIM To review negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) as an important addition to the conventional methods of wound management. METHODS A systematic review, performed by searching the PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane Library databases, showed 11 case reports comprising a total of 22 kidney transplantation (KT) patients (range, 1 to 9), who were treated with NPWT. Application of NPWT was associated ...

While systemic steroid hormones are known to regulate reproductive behaviour, the actual mechanisms of steroidal regulation remain largely unknown. Steroidogenic enzyme activity can rapidly modulate social behaviour by influencing neurosteroid production. In fish, the enzyme 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11β-HSD) synthesizes 11-ketotestosterone (KT, a potent teleost androgen) and deactivate...

BACKGROUND The recent introduction of urea sensors for dialysis monitoring has made possible new approaches to urea kinetic modelling. In this study we show how the equilibrated postdialysis urea concentration (Ceq) and Kt/V corrected for double-pool urea kinetics (Kt/Vdp) can be accurately determined using an on-line sensor providing a continuous measure of blood water urea. A modification of ...

In Parablennius parvicornis, small reproductive males with relatively low expression of secondary sexual characters (M- morphotype) parasite on the parental investment of the larger nest-holder males which have fully developed secondary sexual characters (M+ morphotype). In comparison with M+ males, M- males have relatively low levels of androgens while having high blood cell percentages of lym...

The deviation-angle variance technique (DAV-T), whichwas introduced in theNorthAtlantic basin for tropical cyclone (TC) intensity estimation, is adapted for use in the North Pacific Ocean using the ‘‘best-track center’’ application of the DAV. The adaptations include changes in preprocessing for different data sources [Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-East (GOES-E) in the Atlan...

BACKGROUND The Stroke Canada Optimization of Rehabilitation by Evidence Implementation Trial (SCORE-IT) was a cluster randomized controlled trial that evaluated two knowledge translation (KT) interventions for the promotion of the uptake of best practice recommendations for interventions targeting upper and lower extremity function, postural control, and mobility. Twenty rehabilitation centers ...
