A recent study led by Decan Jiang and colleagues from RWTH Aachen and Heidelberg University Hospitals in Germany has shed light on how porcine models are helping surgical training—particularly in the complex field of kidney transplantation. Pigs are anatomically and physiologically close to humans, making them ideal candidates for surgical training. ...
FGL2 and disease Studies have found that FGL2 is highly expressed in microvascular endothelial cells, causing microcirculatory disturbance, promoting myocardial and liver ischemia-reperfusion injury, arthritis, type 2 diabetic heart failure, and type 2 diabetic nephropathy; FGL2 is highly expressed in inflammatory bowel disease mucosa , correlated with disease severity; in HCV, NAFLD, acute ...
GLP-1 agonists and SGLT-2 inhibitors in combination with or without metformin (as required for glycemic management) have also been recommended by multiple guidelines as appropriate initial treatment for type 2 diabetes patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) or those at high risk for ASCVD, heart failure and/or chronic kidney disease.

Access abandonment occurred at subsequent placement, transplantation, kidney function recovery, loss to follow-up, transition to non-HD renal replacement therapy, death, or end of study period (December 31, 2014). ...

Evidence shows that glyphosate bonds with heavy metals like arsenic and cadmium, forming stable compounds in water that do not break down until reaching the kidneys. CKD is a disease that develops relatively ...
Typically impacting young children, these events cause devastating long-term impairments – and currently the only effective treatment is a liver or kidney transplant. We now are looking at new opportunities to use our mRNA platform to instruct the liver to direct expression of missing enzymes in patients with other genetic diseases. ...
