Ultrasound scanning in fetal renal pelvis dilatation: not only hydronephrosis [PDF]

, 2009
Pelvic dilatation is the alteration of the urinary tractmost frequently detected by maternal-fetalultra-sound. Hydronephrosis is not a diagnosis; it is an imagefinding. The diagnosis is the cause that produces it.

Loss of hepatic SMLR1 causes hepatosteatosis and protects against atherosclerosis due to decreased hepatic VLDL secretion

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
The role of SMLR1 in lipid metabolism (high fat + cholesterol diet in mice) Abstract Background and Aims The assembly and secretion of VLDL from the liver, a pathway that affects hepatic and plasma lipids, remains incompletely understood. We set out to identify players in the VLDL biogenesis pathway by identifying genes that are co‐expressed with the ...
