Establishment of a integrative multi-omics expression database CKDdb in the context of chronic kidney disease (CKD) [PDF]

, 2017
Complex human traits such as chronic kidney disease (CKD) are a major health and financial burden in modern societies. Currently, the description of the CKD onset and progression at the molecular level is still not fully understood.

Quantitative Dynamic Contrast‐Enhanced Ultrasound Confirms Renal Obstruction

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Objectives To evaluate dynamic contrast‐enhanced ultrasound (DCEUS) potential for diagnosing ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO). We hypothesize that DCEUS can identify differences in renal parenchymal microcirculation between normal and obstructed kidneys.

The efficacy of tamsulosin and solifenacin versus tamsulosin alone in double-J stent associated with lower urinary tract symptoms.

International Journal of Endorsing Health Science Research, 2022
Background: Lithotripsy procedures, especially, Ureterorenoscopy is considered instrumental in treating ureteral stones effectively. In endourological surgery, a pigtail ureteric stent is a widely used method to resolve or prevent ureteral obstruction ...

Mixture of Input-Output Hidden Markov Models for Heterogeneous Disease Progression Modeling [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
A particular challenge for disease progression modeling is the heterogeneity of a disease and its manifestations in the patients. Existing approaches often assume the presence of a single disease progression characteristics which is unlikely for neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease.

Function of the Normal Neuromuscular Junction in Young Children

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims The repetitive nerve stimulation (RNS) test is fundamental to test the functional integrity of the neuromuscular junction. RNS data are scarce for newborns and young children, limiting early diagnostic efforts to identify children with neuromuscular diseases. Here, we performed RNS in young children.

Ultrathin, elastic, and self-adhesive nanofiber bio-tape: An intraoperative drug-loading module for ureteral stents with localized and controlled drug delivery properties for customized therapy

Bioactive Materials, 2022
During the postoperative management of urinary diseases, oral or intravenous administration of drugs and implanting ureteral stents are usually required, making localized drug delivery by ureteral stent a precise and effective medication strategy. In the

Mefunidone Attenuates Tubulointerstitial Fibrosis in a Rat Model of Unilateral Ureteral Obstruction

PLoS ONE, 2015
Background Inflammation has a crucial role in renal interstitial fibrosis, which is the common pathway of chronic kidney diseases. Mefunidone (MFD) is a new compound which could effectively inhibit the proliferation of renal fibroblasts in vitro. However,

Pelvic Abscess Caused by Ureteral Calculus and Abscess Treatment through Aspiration by Transperineal Puncture

Case Reports in Urology
Pelvic abscess is mostly caused by gynecological inflammation or digestive system diseases such as appendicitis or Crohn’s disease. This case of pelvic abscess originates from ureteral calculus and is not commonly seen in clinical practice.
