Abstract

Ten patients with acute renal failure post-septic abortion were studied. Two groups of patients are described in terms of duration of oliguria, number of dialysis per patient and maximal concentration of BUN during the acute episode of tubular necrosis. Despite different oliguric periods, when the patients reached 500 ml of urine volume in 24 hours, the recovery of diuresis was similar in both groups as well as the decrease of BUN concentration at the end of the hemodialysis period. Functional studies were carried out, up to an average of 10.5 years after the acute episode. Mean values for inulin and para-aminohippurate clearances were 107 +/- 11.53 and 534.6 +/- 62.9 ml/min./1.73 m2 in nonoliguric patients or those with a short period of oliguria. These values are not significantly different from the mean values of Wesson for normal women. On the other hand, reductions in both clearances were present in most patients who had a long period of oliguria (GFR: 84.9 +/- 4.2 and RPF: 418.1 +/- 33.1). These results demonstrate that the duration of oliguria at the time acute renal failure occurred is the most important factor influencing the rate and extent of long-term recovery of renal function.

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.
