Iso-osmolality and low-osmolality iodinated contrast medium during intravenous contrast-enhanced computed tomography: Effect on renal function [PDF]

Journal of Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences University
Background: Iodinated contrast media are well tolerated, and their use is popular. However, the most life-threatening side effect of iodinated contrast media is acute renal damage.

Mechanistic insights into HipA‐mediated bacterial persistence: Role of initial cellular states and toxin expression kinetics

mLife, EarlyView.
Abstract Persistent bacteria subpopulations showing multidrug tolerance pose significant challenges to antibiotic therapy. While the HipBA toxin–antitoxin (TA) system is known to play a role in persister formation, existing studies predominantly focus on its kinase activity and intracellular regulatory pathways, with limited attention to the ...

CONTRAST MEDIA-ASSOCIATED NEPHROTOXICITY AND THERAPEUTIC PERSPECTIVES

Turkish Journal of Nephrology, 2019
Contrast associated nephropathy is an acute disturbance of renal function that follows the intravascular administration of radiocontrast agents. This syndrome is usually recognized one or more days following the radiocontrast agent administration and is ...

Contrast nephropathy in patients with impaired renal function: High versus low osmolar media [PDF]

, 1992
Contrast nephropathy in patients with impaired renal function: High versus low osmolar media. Prescription of low osmolar contrast to prevent nephrotoxicity in subjects with pre-existing renal impairment is costly and has not been clearly shown to be ...

Spectroscopic Analysis of Hydration Structures in PEG‐ and PMPC‐Containing Hydrogels by Pressure‐Controlled ATR‐IR Combined With Multivariate Curve Resolution

Surface and Interface Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hydration structures govern the properties and functions of hydrogels, yet selectively measuring hydration water in the presence of abundant bulk water remains analytically challenging. Here we applied pressure‐controlled attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy (ATR‐IR) combined with multivariate curve resolution (MCR) analysis, a ...

Driving Drugs Deeper: Force‐Driven Microneedle Systems for Active Therapy and Their Road Towards Clinical Implementation

Small, EarlyView.
Force‐driven microneedles are presented as active therapeutic microdevices that overcome the diffusion limits of conventional patches. By integrating gas generation, magnetic actuation, cavitation, or iontophoresis, these systems drive payloads deeper into tissue, enabling faster, more controlled delivery and highlighting key design principles and ...

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

VIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

Computation of Na and water deficit of iso-osmolar dehydration

, 2011
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The presence of altered plasma Na concentration (PNa) allows calculations of changes in water and electrolyte contents, which are not feasible during normonatremic derangements.

Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) signaling regulates fluid excretion and uric acid metabolism in the mosquito Anopheles gambiae

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) signaling via its receptor has integral roles in mosquito physiology, mediating fluid excretion, stimulating hindgut contractions, and in modulating uric acid levels. Together, these results uncover previously unrecognized roles of prostaglandin signaling in osmotic balance and metabolic homeostasis in mosquitoes.
