Effect of Heterogeneous Mixing and Vaccination on the Dynamics of Anthelmintic Resistance: A Nested Model [PDF]
Anthelmintic resistance is a major threat to current measures for helminth control in humans and animals. The introduction of anthelmintic vaccines, as a complement to or replacement for drug treatments, has been advocated as a preventive measure. Here, a computer-based simulation, tracking the dynamics of hosts, parasites and parasite-genes, shows ...

Abstract Background The prevalence of intracranial aneurysms (ICAs) is higher in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) than in the general population. This extrarenal manifestation carries significant mortality and morbidity risks.

Identification of an N-terminal glycogen synthase kinase 3 phosphorylation site which regulates the functional localisation of polycystin-2 in vivo and in vitro [PDF]
PKD2 is mutated in 15% of patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Polycystin-2 (PC2), the PKD2 protein, is a nonselective Ca2 + -permeable cation channel which may function at the cell surface and ER. Nevertheless, the factors

The Pathogenesis of Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease [PDF]
In individuals with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), renal function deteriorates as the kidneys become replaced by multitudes of fluid-filled cysts. Although the PKD genes were identified a decade ago, the pathway(s) leading from mutation to disease remain the subject of intense investigation.

Hypertension in autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) [PDF]
Cardiovascular (CV) complications are the major cause of death in autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) patients. Hypertension is common in these patients even before the onset of renal insufficiency. Blood pressure (BP) elevation is a key factor in patient outcome, mainly owing to the high prevalence of target organ damage together with

EI‐HMP enhances urine output and reduces ICU stay in kidney transplant patients, particularly in ECD grafts, but does not significantly impact long‐term survival or dialysis avoidance. These short‐term benefits suggest EI‐HMP may improve early recovery, although its long‐term efficacy requires further investigation through randomized controlled trials.

A novel PKD1 variant demonstrates a disease-modifying role in trans with a truncating PKD1 mutation in patients with Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease [PDF]
Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is the most common form of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) and occurs at a frequency of 1/800 to 1/1000 affecting all ethnic groups worldwide.

Renal replacement therapy in ADPKD patients : a 25-year survey based on the Catalan registry [PDF]
Background: Some 7-10% of patients on replacement renal therapy (RRT) are receiving it because of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). The age at initiation of RRT is expected to increase over time.
