Na+/K+-ATPase Revisited: On Its Mechanism of Action, Role in Cancer, and Activity Modulation
Maintenance of Na+ and K+ gradients across the cell plasma membrane is an essential process for mammalian cell survival. An enzyme responsible for this process, sodium-potassium ATPase (NKA), has been currently extensively studied as a potential ...

Simultaneous Treatment of Two Severe Acute Intoxication and Acute Kidney Injury. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Extracorporeal therapies could be required for treatment of life‐threatening severe acute intoxication. We present the case of an 82‐year‐old patient admitted to our Nephrology Unit because of metformin‐associated lactic acidosis (MALA) and acute kidney injury (AKI stage III AKIN criteria).

Optimal designs for random effect models with correlated errors with applications in population pharmacokinetics [PDF]
We consider the problem of constructing optimal designs for population pharmacokinetics which use random effect models. It is common practice in the design of experiments in such studies to assume uncorrelated errors for each subject.
