New Descriptor for Glomerulus Detection in Kidney Microscopy Image

CoRR, 2015
Glomerulus detection is a key step in histopathological evaluation of microscopy images of kidneys. However, the task of automatic detection of glomeruli poses challenges due to the disparity in sizes and shapes of glomeruli in renal sections. Moreover, extensive variations of their intensities due to heterogeneity in immunohistochemistry staining are ...

Paired and altruistic kidney donation in the UK: algorithms and experimentation [PDF]

, 2012
We study the computational problem of identifying optimal sets of kidney exchanges in the UK. We show how to expand an integer programming-based formulation [1, 19] in order to model the criteria that constitute the UK definition of optimality.

Expression of a thyroglobulin (Tg) variant in mouse kidney glomerulus

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2009
Thyroglobulin (Tg) is an essential substrate for thyroid hormone biosynthesis whose production is primarily limited to the thyroid follicular cell. We have previously identified an approximately 1.2 kb fragment of Tg mRNA in cultured mouse mesangial cells, and in the present study provide evidence showing that this transcript is transcribed and ...

Advanced age affects the outcome-predictive power of RIFLE classification in geriatric patients with acute kidney injury

, 2014
The RIFLE (risk, injury, failure, loss, and end-stage) classification is widely used to gauge the severity of acute kidney injury, but its efficacy has not been formally tested in geriatric patients.

Trans-ethnic kidney function association study reveals putative causal genes and effects on kidney-specific disease aetiologies [PDF]

, 2019
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects -10% of the global population, with considerable ethnic differences in prevalence and aetiology. We assemble genome-wide association studies of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), a measure of kidney function

Structural Alterations of the Glomerular Wall And Vessels in Early Stages of Diabetes Mellitus: Light and Transmission Electron Microscopic Study [PDF]

Libyan Journal of Medicine, 2007
Objective: The capillary changes at the initial stage of diabetes may show an angioarchitecture clearly different from those of later stages and,/or very severe glomerular change. However, the onset of alterations in the early phases is unclear.
