Almost all patients who receive cochlear implants have some acoustic hearing prior to surgery. Electrocochleography (ECoG), or electrophysiological measures of response sound, can identify remaining auditory nerve activity that is the basis for this residual and record potentials from hair cells are no longer functionally connected fibers. The ECoG signal therefore complex, being composed both cell neural signals. To signatures different sources in recorded potentials, we collected data...
Pathogenetic markers of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) progression to ESRD are lacking. We characterized the prognostic value histologic findings in DKD for time native specimens from biopsies performed 1995 2011 with glomerulosclerosis as only glomerular diagnosis (n=109). Biopsy were analyzed according standard methods, including determination nephropathy class, defined by Renal Pathology Society. Clinical data extracted electronic medical records. used competing risk models, death risk,...
Neovascular remodeling (NVR), the progression of small capillaries into large-caliber arterioles with perivascular fibrosis, represents a major therapeutic challenge in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD). occurs after laser-induced choroidal neovascularization (CNV) aged but not young mice. Additionally, bone marrow-derived cells, including macrophages, endothelial precursor and mesenchymal contribute to CNV severity. In this study, we investigated impact marrow...
