This is presumably a play-by-play report of a scientific conference staged according to a peculiarly American pattern widely featured by the radio in its educational and informational programs. The sponsor, duly acknowledged by a spokesman, is in this case a philanthropic foundation. The symposium actually deals chiefly with the nature of ionic transfers across membranes in various organs of th...

This book is a summation of discussions on the control of renal function by the pituitary and adrenal cortex. The data on these subjects are presented by outstanding authorities and the conclusions drawn from the data are criticized by representatives of many ancillary fields. In this way the perspectives of several scientific disciplines and specialties are brought to bear on renal function. T...

Unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) is a clinical scenario that leads to obstructive nephropathy. UUO alters the expression of many mediators in the ipsilateral kidney. Renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is involved in UUO. Angiotensin II (Ang II) and angiotensin 1-7 (Ang 1-7) as the main arms of RAS influence kidney function which may alter by UUO. Ang II via Ang II receptor subtypes I (AT1R) ...

the outcome and proper management of fetal hydronephrosis have not been completely defined. the purpose of this study was to determine incidence and outcome of infants with a history of prenatal hydronephrosis diagnosed by ultrasound. in a three-year period from 2000 to 2003 we identified 211 cases (271 renal units) of fetal hydronephrosis in which renal pelvic anteroposterior diameter was more...

Radionuclidic techniques may provide assessment of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) effective renal plasma flow (ERPF) or individual renal function. Several agents were available for determination of these parameters such as ¹³¹I-OIH (O-iodohippurate) and different derivatives of DADS (Diamidodisulfur). OIH has the disadvantage of imparting a relatively high absorbed radiation dose to the...

Objective(s): This study aimed to develop drugs from natural sources to overcome the side effects of many of synthetic drugs. Methanol extracts of both pericarp and seeds of Pleiogynium solandri were used to investigate antioxidant, hepatoprotective, and renal function protective, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory effects and to determine the chemical composition of the extract responsible for b...

abstract background: renal insufficiency is a potential complication after infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm repair and is a significant risk factor for postoperative mortality and morbidity. the aim of this study was to analyze the effect of this risk factor, before and during operation. methods: in this prospective study, between 2003 and 2006, 45 patients underwent repair of an infrarenal...

background & aim : systemic lupus erythematosus (sle) is an autoimmune disease that affects primarily women, commonly in their reproductive years. clinicians have to face the many problems of pregnancy in patients with sle including the influence of sle on fetal outcome and that of pregnancy on sle. this study was performed to study maternal and fetal outcomes in women with sle. material and me...
