OBJECTIVE: In this study, we aimed to evaluate any possible relationship between DN and ABO-Rh blood groups. MATERIAL and METHODS: The study included 743 patients with DN and 25253 healthy donors that presented at the...

OBJECTIVES: Our aim was to investigate the changes of the oxidant and antioxidant systems in chronic kidney disease patients who had increased parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels in the present study. PATIENTS and METHODS...

OBJECTIVE: Stem cells may be involved in the repair processes of renal tissues during various disorders. We aimed to search the presence of recipient originated cells in renal allograft tissues from patients with various...

OBJECTIVE: Red-cell distribution width (RDW) is a parameter routinely used for diagnosis of different anemia types. Recent studies have shown the RDW relationship with mortality in general population and patients with ca...

Background: Targeted radioligand therapy (TRT) is an emerging theranostic modality in oncology. While well established in neuroendocrine and prostate cancers, its role in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small cell ...

Abstract Background The ingestion of grapes or raisins has been reported to cause acute kidney injury (AKI) in dogs, with a clinical picture dominated by early gastrointestinal signs and rapidly developing uremia. Ataxia...

OBJECTIVE: Sudden cardiac death and risk of arrhythmia are higher in patients with ESRD. Tp-e/ QT, and Tp-e/QTc are novel and more reliable indexes of ventricular arrhythmogenesis and sudden cardiac death than QTc. The a...

Loss of anionic charge of the glomerular basement membrane is one of the contributing factors in the development of albuminuria in diabetic individuals. Decreased anionic charge is associated with increased urinary hepar...

Abstract Background Little information exists about vitamin D status in bitches with mammary tumors. Objectives To determine whether low plasma vitamin D concentrations are found in bitches with mammary tumors. Animals E...

En esta tesis se realiza un estudio para reducir el número de medidores que se necesitan para implementar controladores en convertidores AC-DC. Además, se investiga la aplicación de estrategias de control no lineal co...

Examines how external constraints affect organizations and how to design and manage organizations under such constraints. Taking a resource dependence perspective on organizations, the book discusses basic components of ...

"In this paper a 7-Level Asymmetric Multilevel Current Source Inverter is presented. The topology considers two Current Source Inverters that follow a 1:2 ratio to generate the multilevel current waveform. A Model Predic...

"In this paper, a Model Predictive Control (MPC) strategy is applied to a Multilevel Current Source Inverter (MCSI) and its associated current source. The controller uses a discrete-time model of the entire system in ord...

The CONSORT statement is used worldwide to improve the reporting of randomised controlled trials. Kenneth Schulz and colleagues describe the latest version, CONSORT 2010, which updates the reporting guideline based on ne...

"En esta tesis se realiza el análisis de una topología de Convertidor Multinivel Fuente de Corriente (MCSI) modular. Se analiza detalladamente el funcionamiento de la topología y se formula el marco matemático teóri...

Rauvolfia sellowii Müll. Arg. (Apocynaceae), uma árvore nativa brasileira rica em alcaloides indólicos, é conhecida como "pau-pra-tudo" e utilizada popularmente como hipocolesterolêmica, hipoglicêmica e anti-hipe...

BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is increasingly common, primarily because of increases in the prevalence of a sedentary lifestyle and obesity. Whether type 2 diabetes can be prevented by interventions that affect th...

To develop criteria for the classification of fibromyalgia, we studied 558 consecutive patients: 293 patients with fibromyalgia and 265 control patients. Interviews and examinations were performed by trained, blinded ass...

"Electroencephalography (EEG) system validation faces a fundamental challenge: the absence of ground truth when measuring human subjects. Physical head phantoms provide controlled testing environments with known signals;...

The prefrontal cortex has long been suspected to play an important role in cognitive control, in the ability to orchestrate thought and action in accordance with internal goals. Its neural basis, however, has remained a ...

An extended period numerical integration of a baroclinic primitive equation model has been made for the simulation and the study of the dynamics of the atmosphere's general circulation. The solution corresponding to exte...
