Abnormally short or long durations of sleep have been proposed as a risk factors for diabetes and its micro- and macro-vascular complications. However, the relationship between sleep duration and diabetic kidney disease (DKD) has not been well-characterized. Thus, we aimed to examine the association of sleep duration with DKD in two Asian populations. We included 1,258 persons (Malay, = 403; In...
We used an ensemble of statistical methods to build a model that predicts kidney transplant survival and identifies important predictive variables. The proposed model achieved better performance, measured by Harrell's concordance index, than the Estimated Post Transplant Survival model used in the kidney allocation system in the U.S., and other models published recently in the literature. The mode...
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a debilitating disease that progresses to right ventricular (RV) failure and death if left un...
BACKGROUND: Standard measures of kidney function are only modestly useful for accurate prediction of risk for acute kidney injury (AKI).
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential value of machine learning (ML)-based high-dimensional quantitative CT texture analys...

INTRODUCTION: Prolonged-release tacrolimus (PR-TAC) was associated with improved renal function after transplantation when compared to immediate-relea...
Amphotericin B (AmB) is still, despite its severe nephrotoxicity, the first-line agent in the management of serious systemic fungal infections. A sens...
BACKGROUND: MYH9-related diseases (MYH9-RD) are autosomal dominant disorders caused by mutations of the gene encoding the non-muscle myosin heavy cha...
In this article, a simple and rapid colorimetric sensing method was developed for the determination of palladium ions. The method is based on in situ ...
CONTEXT: In patients with aldosterone-producing adenomas (APAs), adrenalectomy causes a rapid decrease in blood pressure and increase in blood potassi...
BACKGROUND: Phenoconversion is a phenomenon whereby some genotypic extensive metabolizers transiently exhibit drug metabolizing enzyme activity at sim...
We propose an improved model based on LVW embedded model feature extractor and ensemble learning for improving prediction accuracy of hemodialysis tim...
. Hypoxia plays a significant role in the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and renal fibrosis. In China, Chinese herbal medicine has been w...
