Effect of L-arginine, dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) and the association of L-arginine and DMSA on tissue lead mobilization and blood pressure level in plumbism [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2001 Lead (Pb)-induced hypertension is characterized by an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and a decrease in nitric oxide (NO). In the present study we evaluated the effect of L-arginine (NO precursor), dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA, a chelating ...

The Role of Late Dimercaptosuccinic Acid (DMSA) Scan and Renal Ultrasonography for Vesicoureteral Reflux in Older Children [PDF]
, 2021 Aim:Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is an important risk factor for urinary tract infection (UTI). We aimed to investigate the relationships between VUR and ultrasound with late dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scan findings in children aged older than two ...

Aplikasi Klinis DMSA Scan dalam Bidang Nefrourologi [PDF]
, 2022 DMSA (meso-2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid) is a compound that contains a sulfhydryl group. This compound can chelate with various heavy metal compounds. At first, DMSA was used as heavy metal poisoning antidote, but with the development of science, nowadays

Noninvasive Risk Stratification Based on Renal Tubular Injury Phenotypes: A Deep Learning Study for Predicting Vesicoureteral Reflux in Children. [PDF]
J Cell Mol MedABSTRACT Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) can cause retrograde urine flow under voiding pressure, facilitating ascending bacterial colonisation and recurrent inflammatory responses. These processes trigger a cascade of cellular and molecular events—innate immune activation, pro‐inflammatory cytokine release, oxidative stress, apoptosis and extracellular ...

DMSA: A Decentralized Microservice Architecture for Edge Networks [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Mobile ComputingThe dispersed node locations and complex topologies of edge networks, combined with intricate dynamic microservice dependencies, render traditional centralized microservice architectures (MSAs) unsuitable. In this paper, we propose a decentralized microservice architecture (DMSA), which delegates scheduling functions from the control plane to edge ...

The Renal Parenchyma Evaluation: MAG3 vs. DMSA [PDF]
, 2005 Scintigraphy with Tc-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) is considered a reference method for assessment of parenchymal lesions and estimation of differential kidney function. The aim of study was to evaluate Tc-99m mercaptoacetyltriglycine (MAG3) dynamic

A Renal Size Discrepancy among the Findings of Renal Sonogram in Children with Their First Episode of Pyelonephritis is One of the Useful Parameters to Predict the Presence of Cortical Defects on the Acute DMSA Renal Scan [PDF]
Childhood Kidney Diseases, 2019 Purpose We investigated whether a renal size discrepancy on a renal sonogram (US) in children with febrile urinary tract infection (UTI) was correlated with the presence of cortical defects on their dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) renal scan.
