Model systems demonstrate that progression to ESRD is driven by progressive podocyte depletion (the hypothesis) and can be noninvasively monitored through measurement of urine pellet mRNAs. To test these concepts in humans, we analyzed mRNAs from 358 adult pediatric kidney clinic patients 291 controls (n=1143 samples). Compared with controls, increased 79-fold (P<0.001) biopsy-proven glomerular disease a 50% decrease function or ESRD. An independent cohort Alport syndrome had 23-fold...
In Brief Summary Background Data: The transfusion of more than 6 units packed red blood cells (PRBCs) within the first 12 hours injury is strongest independent predictor multiple organ failure (MOF). This suggests that stored contains bioactive factors may modify immunoinflammatory response. Methods: To simulate postinjury major transfusions ex vivo, we obtained whole from 4 healthy adults and divided it into four 7-mL groups (I–IV). Group I was not diluted. II had 7 mL 0.9% sterile saline...
Objective: Our goal was to assess the outcomes of females compared males treated with endovascular lower extremity interventions in order determine optimal therapy based on gender. Methods: We performed a retrospective review evaluating primary transluminal angioplasty (PTA) and PTA + stenting (PTA S) for peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Patency rates limb salvage were end points. Results: A total 1017 lesions analyzed 537 patients (229 male 308 female) between 2004 2009. There no...
Given the very ill nature of patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI), use percutaneous vascular interventions (PVIs) for salvage may or not be efficacious; in particular, those polyvascular arterial disease. Herein, we reviewed large, multi-institutional outcomes PVI and peripheral disease (PAD) CLI. An 18-hospital consortium collected prospective data on undergoing endovascular PAD 6-month follow-up from January 2008 to December 2011. The patient cohort included 4459 CLI; those, 3141 had...
Abstract Background Non-islet cell tumor induced hypoglycemia (NICTH) is a very rare phenomenon, but even more so in gastrointestinal stromal tumors. It tends to present large or metastatic tumors, and can appear at any time the progression of disease. We herein case NICTH GIST report an exon 9 mutation associated it. Case presentation A thirty nine year-old man with recurrent, presented hospital nausea, dizziness, loss consciousness, profound (20 mg/dL). There was no evidence factitious...
