Background Glomerulonephritis (GN) consists of a group of kidney diseases that are categorized based on shared histopathological features. The current classifications for GN make it difficult to distinguish the individual variability in presentation, disease progression, and response to treatment. GN is a significant cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD), and improved therapies are desperatel...

Received for publication 14 August 1981 and in revised form 16 November 1981. membranous GN, membranoproliferative GN types I and II, mesangial GN with IgA or C3 deposition and Henoch Sch6nlein's purpura. Loss of C3b receptor antigen in the diffuse proliferative nephritis of SLE distinguishes it both from nonproliferative lupus nephritis and other immunologically mediated proliferative GN.

Membranoproliferative GN represents a pattern of injury seen on light microscopy. Historically, findings on electron microscopy have been used to further subclassify this pathologic entity. Recent advances in understanding of the underlying pathobiology have led to a proposed classification scheme based on immunofluorescence findings. Dysregulation of the complement system has been shown to be ...

This paper introduces a complete Gn-Menger space and defines the Hausdorff–Pompeiu distance in space. Furthermore, we show novel fixed-point theorem for Gn-Menger-θ-contractions fractal spaces.

We study direct limits (G,K) = lim −→ (Gn, Kn) of Gelfand pairs of the form Gn = Nn Kn with Nn nilpotent, in other words pairs (Gn, Kn) for which Gn/Kn is a commutative nilmanifold. First, we extend the criterion of [W4] for a direct limit representation to be multiplicity free. Then we study direct limits G/K = lim −→ Gn/Kn of commutative nilmanifolds and look to see when the regular represent...

BACKGROUND Renal biopsy is a well-established diagnostic modality for the assessment of kidney diseases in children. It can provide diagnostic precision and prognostic value and guide in therapeutic options for many renal diseases. OBJECTIVES This report describes the indication, histopathological patterns, and epidemiology of renal diseases in children in India. PATIENTS AND METHODS This i...

We consider the question of the existence of homomorphisms between Gn,p and odd cycles when p = c/n, 1 < c ≤ 4. We show that for any positive integer l, there exists ε = ε(l) such that if c = 1 + ε then w.h.p. Gn,p has a homomorphism from Gn,p to C2l+1 so long as its odd-girth is at least 2l+1. On the other hand, we show that if c = 4 then w.h.p. there is no homomorphism from Gn,p to C5. Note t...

Sargassum species are brown macroalgae found in shallow marine meadows. These are nutritious and rich source of several bioactive compounds. These isolated active compounds exhibit diverse biological activities like antioxidant, antiinflammatory, antipyretic, analgesic, antiviral, antidiabetic, hepatoprotective, anti-obesity, cholinesterase inhibitory activities etc. This makes the Sargassum sp...

BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE The prototype for bacterial infection-related GN (also called postinfectious GN) is poststreptococcal GN, which most often occurs in children following a pharyngeal or cutaneous infection (impetigo) caused by a particular nephritogenic strain of Streptococci, and usually has a favorable outcome. However, in the last decades the spectrum of postinfectious GN has changed....
