ABSTRACT Cholinergic synapses are widespread throughout the human central nervous system. Their high density in thalamus, neocortex, limbic system and striatum suggests that cholinergic transmission plays a vital role memory, attention, learning other higher cognitive functions. As result, brain's occupies position research on normal cognition age-related decline, including dementias such as Alzheimer's disease. In addition to its brain, neuronal pathways essential for physiological...
There seems to be a lack of consensus on the necessity and modality psychological specifically cognitive assessment candidates for kidney transplantation. Both points are often delegated individual hospitals/centres, whereas international guidelines inconsistent. We think it is essential investigate professionals' opinions advance towards consistent clinical practice. This paper presents results an survey among professionals, mainly nephrologists from CONNECT (Cognitive decline in...
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is common in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD), and its prevalence increases progressive loss of function. MCI characterized by a decline performance greater than expected for an individual age education level but minimal instrumental activities daily living. Deterioration can affect one or several domains (attention, memory, executive functions, language, perceptual motor social cognition). Given the increasing disease, more CKD will also develop...
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a 36-amino-acid peptide member of family also including YY and pancreatic polypeptide, which are all ligands to Gi/Go coupled receptors. NPY regulates several fundamental biologic functions appetite/satiety, sex reproduction, learning memory, cardiovascular renal function immune functions. The mesenteric circulation major source in the blood man this considered key regulator gut-brain cross talk. A progressive increase circulating accompanies progression chronic...
In patients with diabetes mellitus (DM), non-diabetic renal disease (NDRD) can also occurs, as well diabetic nephropathy. NDRD is most accurately diagnosed using kidney biopsy.The aim of the study was to investigate incidence and type by biopsy in 2 DM correlation clinical laboratory findings histopathological diagnosis.From April 2007 October 2018, 290 biopsies were performed at Department Nephrology, Internal Medicine Clinic Banja Luka, out which 18 (males 9, mean age 59.8 years) DM. The...
Considering high cardiovascular (CV) risk in chronic kidney disease (CKD), the aim of this cross-sectional study was to assess association between carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 23 as important players CV pathophysiology. Eighty-seven patients with mean estimated glomerular filtration rate 40.1 mL/min per 1.73 m2 were involved. FGF23 IMT elevated from early stages CKD. Mean value 1.10 ± 0.20 mm, being significantly starting CKD, showing no correlation...
Ca 2+ is an important second messenger that translates extracellular stimuli into intracellular responses. Although there has been significant progress in understanding dynamics organs such as the brain, nature of signals kidney still poorly understood. Here, we show by using a genetically expressed highly sensitive reporter (GCaMP6s), it possible to perform imaging at high resolution mouse vivo. Moreover, applying machine learning-based automated analysis -independent signal, quantitative...
