Mechanisms mediating vascular calcification remain incompletely understood. Nanometer scale objects hypothesized to be a type of bacteria (nanobacteria) are associated with calcified geological specimens, human kidney stones, and psammona bodies in ovarian cancer. Experiments were designed evaluate tissue for the presence similar nanometer-scale objects. Calcified aneurysms (n = 8), carotid plaques 2), femoral arterial cardiac valves 2) noncalcified from patients bicuspid aortic valve...

Background Recent studies have documented high variation in epidemiologic transition levels among Indian states with noncommunicable disease epidemic rising swiftly. However, the estimates suffer from non-availability of reliable data for NCDs sub populations. In order to fill knowledge gap, distribution and determinants NCD risk factors were studied along awareness, treatment control adult population Haryana, India. Methods survey was conducted 5078 residents, aged 18–69 years during...

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) not associated with known risk factors has been reported from parts of India and is presumed to be similar CKD unknown etiology (CKDu) that described Central America. The reports have fragmented without clear description the phenotype or its determinants. This paper summarizes current state knowledge around CKDu in based on a review literature, multi-stakeholder consultation, survey Indian nephrologists. We also contacted individual research groups solicit data....

Blood levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH) D] are reduced in patients with nephrotic syndrome (NS). The lowering is thought to be due urinary loss vitamin binding protein (DBP). A link between deficiency and bone disease or markers mineral metabolism has not yet been shown NS. We hypothesized that alterations bioavailable might linked these abnormalities NS.We measured circulating 25(OH)D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin [1,25(OH)2 D], DBP, serum albumin intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) 106 adults...
