Detecting Genetic Associations between ATG5 and Lupus Nephritis by trans-eQTL
Journal of Immunology Research, 2015 Objectives. Numerous loci were identified to perturb gene expression in trans. As elevated ATG5 expression was observed in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), the study was conducted to analyze the genome-wide genetic regulatory mechanisms associated ...

Q fever outbreak in the terraced vineyards of Lavaux, Switzerland
New Microbes and New Infections, EarlyView., 2014 Abstract Coxiella burnetii infection (Q fever) is a widespread zoonosis with low endemicity in Switzerland, therefore no mandatory public report was required. A cluster of initially ten human cases of acute Q fever infections characterized by prolonged fever, asthenia and mild hepatitis occurred in 2012 in the terraced vineyard of Lavaux ...

MEDIMP: 3D Medical Images with clinical Prompts from limited tabular data for renal transplantation [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Renal transplantation emerges as the most effective solution for end-stage renal disease. Occurring from complex causes, a substantial risk of transplant chronic dysfunction persists and may lead to graft loss. Medical imaging plays a substantial role in renal transplant monitoring in clinical practice. However, graft supervision is multi-disciplinary,

Segmentation of diagnostic tissue compartments on whole slide images with renal thrombotic microangiopathies (TMAs) [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The thrombotic microangiopathies (TMAs) manifest in renal biopsy histology with a broad spectrum of acute and chronic findings. Precise diagnostic criteria for a renal biopsy diagnosis of TMA are missing. As a first step towards a machine learning- and computer vision-based analysis of wholes slide images from renal biopsies, we trained a segmentation ...

Machine learning for dynamically predicting the onset of renal replacement therapy in chronic kidney disease patients using claims data [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Chronic kidney disease (CKD) represents a slowly progressive disorder that can eventually require renal replacement therapy (RRT) including dialysis or renal transplantation. Early identification of patients who will require RRT (as much as 1 year in advance) improves patient outcomes, for example by allowing higher-quality vascular access for dialysis.

Complement Activation Is Associated With Crescents in IgA Nephropathy
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 IntroductionCrescents, especially those found at a percentage greater than 50%, are often associated with rapid progression of kidney disease in IgA nephropathy (IgAN). The mechanism of crescents forming in IgAN is still unclear.
