A case of reninoma with variant angina
Reninoma is a tumor of the renal juxtaglomerular cell apparatus that causes hypertension and hypokalemia because of hypersecretion of renin. We present a case of a 29-year-old female patient with reninoma and concomitant variant angina.

Highlights This is the first large‐sample, multicenter study of the relationship between Chinese Visceral Adiposity Index (CVAI) and urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR) in Chinese community adults. CVAI and UACR were significantly associated in both genders. At higher CVAI levels, the population with prediabetes, diabetes, and hypertension has a

Background: Plasma renin activity is involved in the regulation of body salt content and blood pressure. However, there is a paucity of data regarding the association between low or high plasma renin activity and the development of hypertension.

Estimate of the Upper Limit on Hot Plasma Differential Emission Measure (DEM) in Non-Flaring Active Regions and Nanoflare Frequency Based on the Mg XII Spectroheliograph Data from CORONAS-F/SPIRIT [PDF]
The nanoflare-heating theory predicts steady hot plasma emission in the non-flaring active regions. It is hard to find this emission with conventional non-monochromatic imagers (such as Atmospheric Imaging Assembly or X-Ray Telescope), because their images contain a cool temperature background.

Plasma Renin Activity in Pheochromocytoma
Plasma renin activity was measured in seven patients with pheochromocytoma. Increased plasma renin activity was consistently observed in five cases, in whom urinary excretion of noradrenaline was higher than that of adrenaline. In one patient, there occurred a progressive rise in plasma renin activity with a proportionate increase in urinary excretion ...

Vitamin D—A prominent immunomodulator to prevent COVID‐19 infection
Abstract COVID‐19 remains a life‐threatening infectious disease worldwide. Several bio‐active agents have been tested and evaluated in an effort to contain this disease. Unfortunately, none of the therapies have been successful, owing to their safety concerns and the presence of various adverse effects.

Effect of He Self-organized pattern plasma-activated media with different conductivity on cancer cells [PDF]
The self-organized pattern (SOP) phenomenon is prevalent in plasma, while knowledge about SOP discharge affecting reactive species generated plasma-activated media (PAM) for cancer therapy is poorly documented. The aim of this study focused on the effect of SOP discharge modes on reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS, RNS) in He SOP plasma ...

Abstract Uric acid has promoted renal fibrosis and inflammation in experimental studies, but some studies have shown nephroprotective effects due to alleviated oxidative stress. We studied the influence of experimental hyperuricaemia in surgically 5/6 nephrectomized rats. Three weeks after subtotal nephrectomy or sham operation, the rats were allocated

Active plasma resonance spectroscopy: A functional analytic description [PDF]
The term "Active Plasma Resonance Spectroscopy" refers to a class of diagnostic methods which employ the ability of plasmas to resonate on or near the plasma frequency. The basic idea dates back to the early days of discharge physics: An signal in the GHz range is coupled to the plasma via an electrical probe; the spectral response is recorded, and ...
