About the glomerulus

an investigation about the relationship between insurance lines and economic growth; the case study of iran

مطالعات قبلی بازار بیمه را به صورت کلی در نظر می گرفتند اما در این مطالعه صنعت بیمه به عنوان متغیر مستفل به بیمه های زندگی و غیر زندگی شکسته شده و هم چنین بیمه های زندگی به رشته های مختلف بیمه ای که در بازار بیمه ایران سهم قابل توجهی دارند تقسیم میشود. با استفاده از روشهای اقتصاد سنجی داده های برای دوره های 48-89 از مراکز ملی داده جمع آوری شد سپس با تخمین مدل خود بازگشتی برداری همراه با تعدادی ...

Building the glomerulus: a matricentric view.

T he structural integrity of the glomerular capillaries stems from the stereotyped arrangement of the three constituent cell types: Podocytes (also called visceral epithelial cells), endothelial cells, and mesangial cells. The arrangement of these cells depends in part on their interactions with extracellular matrix, most notably the glomerular basement membrane (GBM). In this essay, I discuss ...

An energy budget for the olfactory glomerulus.

Energy demands are becoming recognized as an important constraint on neural signaling. The olfactory glomerulus provides a well defined system for analyzing this question. Odor stimulation elicits high-energy demands in olfactory glomeruli where olfactory axons converge onto dendrites of olfactory bulb neurons. We performed a quantitative analysis of the energy demands of each type of neuronal ...

Dissecting the Role of Vegf-a in the Glomerulus – Insights into the Adult Glomerulus and Renal Disease

The renal glomerulus in hypoxic cor pulmonale.

We measured the mean capillary tuft area by a custom-built semi-automatic technique in postmortem sections from the kidneys of 16 patients with "blue and bloated" chronic bronchitis and emphysema and in seven patients of similar age who were free of respiratory and renal disease at death. Nine bronchitic patients had received domiciliary oxygen treatment while seven had not. The mean glomerular...
