Long-Term Oncological and Functional Outcomes After Robot-Assisted Partial Nephrectomy for Clinically Localized Renal Cell Carcinoma.

BACKGROUND: To evaluate long-term oncological and renal function outcomes in patients treated with robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) for renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

Gibberellic acid-induced hepatorenal dysfunction and oxidative stress: Mitigation by quercetin through modulation of antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiapoptotic activities.

The plant growth regulator gibberellic acid (GA3) is widely used in agriculture in many countries. However, little is known about its danger to human health or its physiologic and biochemical pathways. Our study examined the effect of GA3 on liver and kidney function and the effect of quercetin on the hepatorenal toxicity induced by GA3 in four groups of male albino rats. For 4 weeks, the control ...

Assessment of the effect of sub-lethal acute toxicity of Emamectin benzoate in using multiple biomarker approach.

Emamectin benzoate (EMB) is a potent neurotoxin agent, widely used for ectoparasites control in aquaculture, but their detailed toxicological implicat...

Assessment of glomerular morphological patterns by deep learning algorithms.

BACKGROUND: Compilation of different morphological lesion signatures is characteristic of renal pathology. Previous studies have documented the potent...

Contribution of phosphorus and PTH to the development of cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis in an experimental model of chronic renal failure.

Construction of a prediction model for drug removal rate in hemodialysis based on chemical structures.

In designing drug dosing for hemodialysis patients, the removal rate (RR) of the drug by hemodialysis is important. However, acquiring the RR is diffi...

Rhabdomyolysis: An evidence-based approach.

A 76-year-old lady was found on the floor following a fall at home. She was uninjured, but unable to get up, and had been lying on the floor for rough...

Computer-Generated R.E.N.A.L. Nephrometry Scores Yield Comparable Predictive Results to Those of Human-Expert Scores in Predicting Oncologic and Perioperative Outcomes.

PURPOSE: We sought to automate R.E.N.A.L. (for radius, exophytic/endophytic, nearness of tumor to collecting system, anterior/posterior, location rela...

Acute Kidney Injury in a Tertiary Care Center of South India.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Data regarding the epidemiology and outcomes of acute kidney injury (AKI) from our part of the world are limited. The irking...

Implementation of Machine Learning Models for the Prevention of Kidney Diseases (CKD) or Their Derivatives.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health issue with a high rate of morbidity and mortality and a high rate of disease progression. Because ther...

Successful Multidisciplinary Repair of Severe Bilateral Uretero-Enteric Stricture with Inflammatory Reaction Extending to the Left Iliac Artery, after Robotic Radical Cystectomy and Intracorporeal Ileal Neobladder.

Uretero-enteric anastomotic strictures (UES) after robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) represent the main cause of post-operative renal dysfuncti...
