Abstract

This study was done to assess the incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) after coronary angiogram (CAG) and percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). Contrast induced nephropathy is the third leading cause of acute renal failure in hospitalized patients. Diabetes mellitus, volume depletion, baseline renal insufficiency, and high volume of contrast agent are a few risk factors. In 245 consecutive patients undergoing CAG or PTCA, we measured serum creatinine at baseline and after 24 and 48 hours of the procedure. CIN was defined as rise in serum creatinine >/=0.5mg/dL or 25% rise from baseline. Two hundred twenty three (91%) subjects were male and 22(9%) were female. Among the 245 subjects 155 (63.3%) were diabetic. Total 59(24.08%) patients developed contrast induced nephropathy. Among these patients, 57(36.8%) were diabetic whereas only 2(2.2%) were non-diabetic. In 59 CIN cases 57(96.6%) were diabetic (p</=0.0001). Among total 59 CIN cases, more than 100 ml of contrast agent used in 51(86.4%) patients (p</=0.0001). Diabetic patients are more prone to develop CIN than non-diabetic. Volume of contrast agent used during procedure is an important predictor for the development of CIN.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
