ABSTRACT Methotrexate (MTX) is a folate antagonist widely used as a disease‐modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), as well as in several malignancies and autoimmune disorders. Although low‐dose MTX (5–20 mg/week) is generally considered safe, it has a narrow therapeutic index, and toxicity can occur even at therapeutic doses,

ABSTRACT Intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) MRI allows for simultaneous assessment of tissue microcirculation (perfusion) and diffusion of water. In single‐center studies, IVIM has shown great potential for diagnosis, treatment outcome prediction, and treatment monitoring for many different diseases and organs.

Abstract Objective Despite the high incidence of fetal growth restriction (FGR) in gastroschisis (GS) associated with placental fetal vascular malperfusion (FVM), the underlying mechanism remains unclear. We aimed to investigate whether umbilical vein (UV) stenosis at the abdominal wall defect impairs fetoplacental circulation, leading to FGR.

This study illustrates that omega‐3 PUFAs with their receptor FFAR4 alleviate tubular senescence and fibrosis in aged and fibrotic kidneys. Furthermore, we indicate that tubular FFAR4 improves renal senescence via 15d‐PGJ2‐PPARγ‐Klotho signaling, and suppresses kidney fibrosis by senescent tubular cell‐driven fibroblast activation.

Ureterolithiasis is a common cause of ureteral obstruction in dogs, often leading to kidney injury. Medical expulsive therapy (MET) using α-adrenergic antagonists has been proposed as a nonsurgical treatment option in selected cases and is thought to ...

ABSTRACT Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by a progressive decline of renal function. A major challenge in CKD drug development is the low success rate of drug candidates, with fewer than 10% of drugs entering Phase I clinical trials demonstrating clinical benefit.

Non‐invasive papillary urothelial carcinomas with minor high‐grade component are not associated with a more indolent behavior and should likely be regarded as high‐grade carcinomas. Aims The latest WHO edition proposed using a cut‐off of ≥5% high‐grade component (%HGc) as a criterion to label non‐invasive papillary urothelial carcinomas as high‐grade ...
