Partial renal coverage in EVAR causes unfavorable renal flow patterns in an infrarenal aneurysm model [PDF]
J.Vasc.Surg 67 (2018) 1585-1594, 2019 Objective: To achieve an optimal sealing zone during EVAR, the intended positioning of the proximal end of the endograft fabric should be as close as possible to the most caudal edge of the renal arteries. Some endografts exhibit a small offset between the radiopaque markers and the proximal fabric edge.

Sunitinib versus interferon alfa in metastatic renal-cell carcinoma.
New England Journal of Medicine, 2007 BACKGROUND Since sunitinib malate has shown activity in two uncontrolled studies in patients with metastatic renal-cell carcinoma, a comparison of the drug with interferon alfa in a phase 3 trial is warranted.

Precise Estimation of Renal Vascular Dominant Regions Using Spatially Aware Fully Convolutional Networks, Tensor-Cut and Voronoi Diagrams [PDF]
Computerized Medical Imaging and Graphics 77 (2019): 101642, 2019 This paper presents a new approach for precisely estimating the renal vascular dominant region using a Voronoi diagram. To provide computer-assisted diagnostics for the pre-surgical simulation of partial nephrectomy surgery, we must obtain information on the renal arteries and the renal vascular dominant regions.

Identifying chemokines as therapeutic targets in renal disease: Lessons from antagonist studies and knockout mice [PDF]
, 2004 Chemokines, in concert with cytokines and adhesion molecules, play multiple roles in local and systemic immune responses. In the kidney, the temporal and spatial expression of chemokines correlates with local renal damage and accumulation of chemokine ...
