The amount of protein in the diet is one of the factors determining the rate of progression of chronic renal failure. Since 1980, reducing dietary protein intake has received most attention as a potential intervention to...

Numerous seismic damage investigations have demonstrated that reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures tend to exhibit a Strong-beam Weak-column failure mechanism, which contradicts the intended Strong-column Weak-beam ...

OBJECTIVE: Atherosclerosis is seen more frequently in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) due to the oxidative stress, chronic inflammation and endothelial dysfunction. Besides lowering total and low density lipopr...

ABSTRACT In this case, a 12-year-old female domestic cat with chronic renal failure (CRF), which had lived longer than the mean survival time for cats with that condition, was monitored to evaluate the effects of treatme...

In view of the collapse accidents encountered in the process of tunneling in weak and fractured rock mass, scaled model tests and numerical simulations are developed to study the progressive failure process of surroundin...

The voids behind the tunnel linings seriously affect the interaction between the linings and the surrounding soils, generally in the form of cracking, spalling or even failure, directly affecting the safety of tunnel ope...

Background: Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is considered a low prevalence disease. In Argentina, no registries are available on chronic intestinal failure (CIF) and SBS. This project was designed as the first national regist...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims To evaluate the transition of Carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA‐125) from an ovarian tumor marker to a versatile indicator of systemic congestion and fluid overload. Methods A literature review ...

Abstract Background Coffee is among the most widely consumed beverages globally, yet evidence specifically examining its association with heart failure (HF) risk remains limited. The only dedicated meta-analysis on this ...

Abstract The large‐scale implementation of geological carbon sequestration has raised concerns about potential fault activation and induced seismicity, which could compromise storage integrity and pose seismic risks. W...

Abstract Objective To compare outcomes in patients with repeated implantation failure undergoing Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection/In vitro fertilization (IVF/ICSI) plus immunosuppressants such as prednisolone, predniso...

Post-transplantation diabetes mellitus (PTDM) is a common complication following kidney transplantation (KT), but the prognostic significance of early PTDM and changes in diabetic status remains uncertain. Using the Kore...

Background: Distal femoral megaprosthetic reconstruction is a standard limb-salvage procedure after tumor resection. This study aimed to evaluate implant survival and associated factors, the incidence of mechanical failu...

Abstract Background The inability of antiretroviral medications to inhibit HIV is known as antiretroviral treatment failure. One of the greatest problems facing HIV patients receiving antiretroviral therapy is treatment ...

OBJECTIVE: The conditions underlying chronic renal failure have become epidemics in the world. The aim of this study was to reveal the degree of awareness of chronic renal failure among family physicians. MATERIAL and ...

OBJECTIVE: This study has been planned to examine the effect of end-stage renal failure (ESRF) on mobility and balance in hemodialysis patients. MATERIAL and METHODS: The study sample consisted of eighty healthy volunt...

Metformin is a biguanide used in the treatment of type 2 diabetic patients with normal renal function. Lactic acidosis is the most serious side effect of metformin. Renal failure is the most common cause of reduced lacta...

Licorice root has glycyrrhizic acid as the active ingredient and is responsible for a primary hyperaldosteronism-like syndrome with hypokalemia, metabolic alkalosis, and hypertension, typically accompanying low aldostero...

Renal failure is commonly accompanied by psychological distress compounding to mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression. Common risk factors towards the development of mental health disorders in people wit...

Heart failure (HF) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with persistent sterile inflammation emerging as a critical driver of maladaptive cardiac remodeling beyond hemodynamic stress alone. Recen...

By using the method of model tests and introducing the progressive failure theory into the analysis of disease occurrence and propagation of segment linings of shield tunnels, from the internal force, structural displace...

Chronic renal failure is a irreversible deterioration of the renal regulatory mechanisms of the fluid electrolyte balance and metabolic-endocrine functions as a result of reduced glomerular filtration rate. Hemodialysis,...

In this study we aimed to evaluate the oxidative -antioxidative systems in peripartum acute renal failure, preeclampsia -eclampsia. The study groups consisted of 17 patients with periparthum acute renal failure (8/17+HEL...

OBJECTIVE: Ultrafiltration (UF) failure is a frequent complication of peritoneal dialysis peritonitis. Octreotide (OCT) has antiproliferative effects on many cells. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of OC...
