Role of Renal Resistive Index in early detection of Diabetic Nephropathy in Type II Diabetic Patients

SVU - International Journal of Medical Sciences
Background: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) burdens health services; renal resistive index (RI) indicates atherosclerotic changes. Objectives: Assessing renal artery RI for early detection of DN in type II diabetes (T2DM) patients.

Catalase-Containing Silica Particles as Ultrasound-Based Hydrogen Peroxide Sensors to Determine Infected From Noninfected Fluid Collections in Humans. [PDF]

, 2019
OBJECTIVE. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) plays a key role in neutrophil oxidative defense against infection. Catalase-containing silica nanoshells are nanoparticles that generate O2 microbubbles imaged with ultrasound in the presence of elevated H2O2.

Rheumatologic Manifestations of Patients With Type B Insulin Resistance

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective The objectives of this study were to identify laboratory and clinical features associated with type B insulin resistance (TBIR), a rare condition caused by autoantibodies that inhibit the insulin receptor, most frequently occurring in the setting of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and to increase awareness of this rare, life‐threatening ...

The value of different resistance parameters in distinguishing biopsy-proved dysfunction of renal allografts [PDF]

, 2017
The data concerning the value of duplex sonography in diagnosing parenchymatous renal allograft dysfunction are controversial. Most early studies did not take into consideration the many factors influencing resistance parameters. We therefore performed a

Airway inflammation in obstructive sleep apnea: Is leptin the missing link? [PDF]

, 1916
SummaryBackgroundLocal and systemic inflammation is implicated in the pathophysiology of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). Exhaled breath condensate (EBC) is a non-invasive sampling method for the lower airways.

The validity of the renal Doppler resistivity index in renal allograft infections

Renal Failure
The correlations between the intra-renal resistive index (RRI) and renal histopathology characteristics, especially in those with infected allografts, have not been sufficiently investigated in renal transplant recipients. We aimed to examine the correlation between RRI and renal allograft infection in these subjects.One hundred nine renal allograft ...

Integrating Patient‐Reported Quality Measures in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Development of the American College of Rheumatology Implementation Guide

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective To support high‐quality, patient‐centered care for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) developed evidence‐based measures incorporating clinical and patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs). Using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), we conducted semistructured interviews ...
