Evaluation of an automated choroid segmentation algorithm in a longitudinal kidney donor and recipient cohort [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Purpose: To evaluate the performance of an automated choroid segmentation algorithm in optical coherence tomography (OCT) data using a longitudinal kidney donor and recipient cohort. Methods: We assessed 22 donors and 23 patients requiring renal transplantation over up to 1 year post-transplant.

Non-parametric Bayesian Models of Response Function in Dynamic Image Sequences [PDF]

open access: yesComputer Vision and Image Understanding, Volume 151, Pages 90-100, ISSN 1077-3142 (2016), 2015
Estimation of response functions is an important task in dynamic medical imaging. This task arises for example in dynamic renal scintigraphy, where impulse response or retention functions are estimated, or in functional magnetic resonance imaging where hemodynamic response functions are required.

Surfaceome: a new era in the discovery of immune evasion mechanisms of circulating tumor cells

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
In the era of immunotherapies, many patients either do not respond or eventually develop resistance. We propose to pave the way for proteomic analysis of surface‐expressed proteins called surfaceome, of circulating tumor cells. This approach seeks to identify immune evasion mechanisms and discover potential therapeutic targets. Circulating tumor cells (

The error of estimated GFR in predialysis care

open access: yesScientific Reports
The error of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and its consequences in predialysis are unknown. In this prospective multicentre study, 315 predialysis patients underwent measured GFR (mGFR) by the clearance of iohexol and eGFR by 52 formulas ...

Serum levels of the myokine irisin in relation to metabolic and renal function.

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Endocrinology, 2014
OBJECTIVE Irisin has recently been introduced as a novel myokine which reverses visceral obesity and improves glucose metabolism in mice. However, regulation of irisin in humans in relation to renal and metabolic disease has not been comprehensively ...

Cell‐free and extracellular vesicle microRNAs with clinical utility for solid tumors

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Cell‐free microRNAs (cfmiRs) are small‐RNA circulating molecules detectable in almost all body biofluids. Innovative technologies have improved the application of cfmiRs to oncology, with a focus on clinical needs for different solid tumors, but with emphasis on diagnosis, prognosis, cancer recurrence, as well as treatment monitoring.

Relationship of Renal Echogenicity with Renal Pathology and Function [PDF]

open access: yesChildhood Kidney Diseases, 2017
Purpose Renal ultrasonography has been widely used in children with renal disease. However, the relationship of renal echogenicity with renal pathology and function in children is not well known.

Modeling the Effects of Multiple Myeloma on Kidney Function [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Multiple myeloma (MM), a plasma cell cancer, is associated with many health challenges, including damage to the kidney by tubulointerstitial fibrosis. We develop a mathematical model which captures the qualitative behavior of the cell and protein populations involved.

Partial renal coverage in EVAR causes unfavorable renal flow patterns in an infrarenal aneurysm model [PDF]

open access: yesJ.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.

Worsening renal function during renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system inhibitor initiation and long‐term outcomes in patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Heart Failure, 2014
Impaired renal function is associated with worse clinical outcomes in patients with LV systolic dysfunction (LVSD) and heart failure. Renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibitors provide clinical benefit in these settings and often worsen renal
