Apoptosis and loss of renal tissue in polycystic kidney diseases.
BACKGROUND Polycystic kidney disease is characterized by the enlargement of renal cysts, interstitial fibrosis, and gradual loss of normal renal tissue in association with progressive deterioration of renal function.

Modelling TFE renal cell carcinoma in mice reveals a critical role of WNT signaling
TFE-fusion renal cell carcinomas (TFE-fusion RCCs) are caused by chromosomal translocations that lead to overexpression of the TFEB and TFE3 genes (Kauffman et al., 2014).

Renal screening sonography—A comparative study in a Portuguese basic emergency service
Renal sonography screening aids in clinical decision‐making for patients with suspected renal colic. This study intends to compare the accuracy and pertinence of sonographic findings obtained by a sonographer in a Basic Emergency Service (BES) with that of radiologists at Referral Hospital (RH) in Portugal. Renal sonography screening was able to detect

Computation of Total Kidney Volume from CT images in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease using Multi-Task 3D Convolutional Neural Networks [PDF]
Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) characterized by progressive growth of renal cysts is the most prevalent and potentially lethal monogenic renal disease, affecting one in every 500-100 people. Total Kidney Volume (TKV) and its growth computed from Computed Tomography images has been accepted as an essential prognostic marker for ...

The effect of elexacaftor–tezacaftor–ivacaftor on liver stiffness in children with cystic fibrosis
Abstract Objectives Cystic fibrosis hepato‐biliary involvement (CFHBI) is a common comorbidity in patients with CF and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The effect of the new and highly potent CF transmembrane conductance regulator modulator therapy, elexacaftor–tezacaftor–ivacaftor (ETI), on CFHBI, is still unclear.

Automatic Segmentation of the Kidneys and Cystic Renal Lesions on Non-Contrast CT Using a Convolutional Neural Network [PDF]
Objective: Automated segmentation tools are useful for calculating kidney volumes rapidly and accurately. Furthermore, these tools have the power to facilitate large-scale image-based artificial intelligence projects by generating input labels, such as for image registration algorithms.

Co‐existing monophasic teratoma and uterine adenocarcinoma in a female dog [PDF]
Ovarian teratomas are occasionally reported in dogs; the rarest type is the monophasic teratoma,composed of tissues originating from only one germ layer. Canine endometrial adenocarcinomas are also rare in dogs and mainly affect geriatric females.

Mass spectrometry imaging of N‐linked glycans: Fundamentals and recent advances
Abstract With implications in several medical conditions, N‐linked glycosylation is one of the most important posttranslation modifications present in all living organisms. Due to their nontemplate synthesis, glycan structures are extraordinarily complex and require multiple analytical techniques for complete structural elucidation.

The Hsp90β Isoform: An Attractive Target for Drug Development
ABSTRACT The beta isoform of 90 kDa heat shock protein (Hsp90β) plays a critical role in maintaining cellular proteostasis by assisting in the folding and refolding of proteins, which is essential for both normal cellular function and stress response.
