We report a case of a 38-year-old male with acute renal failure, elevated anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) antibody titres, bilateral nodular lung opacities and hypertension. In the renal biopsy examination, whereas direct immunofluorescence revealed significant peripheral linear deposits of IgG typical of anti-GBM antibody disease (Goodpasture's disease), eosin-haemotoxylin stainin...

When an object A moves toward an object B until they are adjacent, at which point A stops and B starts moving, we often see a collision--ie we see A as the cause of B's motion. The spatiotemporal parameters which mediate the perception of causality have been explored in many studies, but this work is seldom related to other aspects of perception. Here we report a novel illusion, wherein the per...

Results 98 patients were used as the selected cohort. 21.5% of patients developed ESRD within 5 years and 28.8% within 10 years. Univariate studies showed that interstitial fibrosis, glomerulosclerosis, presence of fibrocellular crescents, proteinuria (g/24hrs) and raised serum creatinine levels at the time of biopsy were significant. (P value of <0.001 and 95% CI considered significant.) In th...

The renal lesions are of special importance in the captive primates. The most commonly pathologies are: pyelonephritis, nephrocalcinosis, glomerulonephritis, congenital malformations, hydronephrosis and functional diseases. We report the histopathological study of renal lesions of five cases of deaths in Cebus apella (Primates) of the Argentinean Primate Center. The ages of the monkeys were fro...
