Latest AI and machine learning research in nephrology for healthcare professionals.
BACKGROUND: The impact of pulmonary hypertension (PH) on outcomes after surgical tricuspid valve replacement (TVR) and repair (TVr) is unclear. We sought to characterize PH in patients undergoing TVR/TVr, based on invasive hemodynamics and evaluate the effect of PH on mortality.
Bioelectric medicine leverages natural signaling pathways in the nervous system to counteract organ dysfunction. This novel approach has potential to address conditions with unmet needs, including heart failure, hypertension, inflammation, arthritis, asthma, Alzheimer's disease, and diabetes. Neural therapies, which target the brain, spinal cord, or peripheral nerves, are already being applied to ...
BACKGROUND: The efficacy of hemodialysis (HD) is closely associated with patient survival time and quality of life. The classical method (CLM) to calc...
Chronic kidney disease mineral bone disorder (CKD-MBD) is a virtually universal complication of kidney diseases, starting early in the course of disea...
Artificial intelligence holds great promise for improved health-care outcomes. But it also poses substantial new hazards, including algorithmic discri...
To understand the physiology and pathology of disease, capturing the heterogeneity of cell types within their tissue environment is fundamental. In su...
BACKGROUND: The effect of early initiation of dialysis on outcomes of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) remains controversial. We conducted...
BACKGROUND: Anti-oxidants were investigated in several studies as a preventive strategy for prevention of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN). Omega-3 ...
The diagnosis of diabetic kidney disease can be delayed by limitations of primary biomarkers, which are microalbuminuria and estimated glomerular filt...
Emerging data suggest that type 1 diabetes affects not only the β-cell-containing islets of Langerhans, but also the surrounding exocrine compartment....
BACKGROUND: Traditionally, the trans-peritoneal approach is preferred for robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RPN). However, retroperitoneal RPN (RP-R...
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a menace that is affecting 10 percent of the world population and 15 percent of the South African population. The earl...
OBJECTIVE: To build the Wisconsin Stone Quality of Life Machine-Learning Algorithm (WISQOL-MLA) to predict urolithiasis patients' health-related quali...
Although many clinical metrics are associated with proximity to decompensation in heart failure (HF), none are individually accurate enough to risk-s...
BACKGROUND: Urine concentrating defect is a common dysfunction in ciliopathies, even though its underlying mechanism and its prognostic meaning are la...
BACKGROUND: The use of a nephron-sparing surgery for the treatment of localized renal masses is being pushed to more challenging cases. However, this ...
Minimally invasive surgery includes traditional laparoscopic and robot-assisted surgery. Although many studies related to robotic surgery and laparosc...
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a complex subcellular organelle composed of diverse structures such as tubules, sheets and tubular matrices. Flavivi...
IMPORTANCE: An end-to-end efficacy evaluation approach for identifying progression risk after epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase ...
BACKGROUND: Diabetic retinopathy and kidney disease share underlying mechanisms of microvascular damage and are often comorbid in people with diabetes...
