Expression of VEGF in neonatal urinary obstruction: does expression of VEGF predict hydronephrosis? [PDF]
BACKGROUND In animal studies, the inhibition of VEGF activity results in high mortality and impaired renal and glomerular development. Mechanical stimuli, like mechanical stretch in respiratory and circulatory systems, results in an elevated expression ...

A brief review of the literature on the malignant ureteral obstruction [PDF]
Malignant ureteral obstruction (MUO) caused by a primarily urological tumor or secondary to a late-stage malignancy can be difficult for the urologist to manage. Due to a lack of clinical data on the management of MUO, every case is particular and should

Mortality Patterns and Phenotypic Clusters in Trisomy 13: A Population‐Based Study From Japan
ABSTRACT Trisomy 13, the third most common autosomal trisomy after trisomy 21 and trisomy 18, is associated with a significantly high infant mortality rate. However, large‐scale studies examining causes of death in trisomy 13 remain scarce. Therefore, we aimed to better understand the mortality patterns.
