Prematurity is often complicated by respiratory support, including invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) and noninvasive support (NIS). Compared with IMV, NIS reduces injury to the lung and brain.

In the renal allograft, transplant glomerulopathy represents a morphologic lesion and not a specific diagnosis. The hallmark pathologic feature is glomerular basement membrane reduplication by light ...

The glomerulus and Bowman's capsule work in tandem to filter blood and produce filtrate, which is the precursor to urine.

Nephropathy is a major complication of diabetes. Alterations of mesangial cells have traditionally been the focus of research in deciphering molecular mechanisms of diabetic nephropathy. Injury of ...

Glomerulus, the fundamental filtering unit of the kidney, is an intricate network of capillaries — small blood vessels that regulate the movement of ions, water, and metabolites while maintaining ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Endothelial cell damage progressing to extensive thrombosis of glomerular capillaries has been observed 1 to 12 months after fractionated, in ...

In patients with diabetic nephropathy, glomerulopathy is an important renal structural change. The kidney consists of four basic tissue types: vessels, glomeruli, tubules, and interstitium. Each of ...

The remarkable journey of an erythrocyte, or red blood cell, from the renal artery is a testament to the intricate and efficient design of the human circulatory and renal systems. Imagine yourself as ...

In five children a nephrotic syndrome developed within one month (three cases), 11 months, and 10 years of the onset of diabetes mellitus. The syndrome, which responded to steroid therapy, was ...

The retinal trypsin-digestion technic of Kuwabara and Cogan 13 demonstrates the very early, as well as the late, effects of diabetes on the retinal vasculature. 14 By the use of this technic in the ...
