Congenital anorectal malformations (CARM) include a number of different options that differ in their anatomical and functional features. One these is rectoperineal fistula (RPF). Purpose - to evaluate the results surgical treatment congenital RPF children, using differentiated approach diagnosis methods correction its isolated associated forms. Materials methods. The study included 28 patients ...

Contrast media can induce both a decrease in renal blood flow and a reduction in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) when administered to both experimental animals and humans. In the present study we have examined the role of adenosine in mediating these effects using the isolated perfused rat kidney. Kidneys were perfused with a 6. 7%-(w/v)-albumin-based perfusate supplemented with glucose and am...

This article derives a novel unified signal processing scheme for WiFi-based passive radar in order to limit its complexity and enhance suitability short range civilian applications. To this purpose, the exploitation of reciprocal filtering (RpF) strategy is investigated as an alternative conventional matched at compression stage. Along with well-known advantage remarkable sidelobes control cap...

IgG4-related retroperitoneal fibrosis (IgG4-RPF) is a newly recognized entity which often mimics cancer. We aimed to investigate the clinical features and the causes of renal failure, as well as to explore the factors affecting the prognosis of renal function by analysis of the clinical data of patients with IgG4-RPF. We reviewed clinical features of 10 patients with renal failure caused by IgG...

OBJECTIVE To establish a simple two-compartment model for glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and renal plasma flow (RPF) estimations by dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of eight New Zealand white rabbits were included in DCE-MRI. The two-compartment model was modified with the impulse residue function in this study. First, the reliabi...

Posture segmentation plays an essential role in human motion analysis. The state-of-the-art method extracts sufficiently high-dimensional features from 3D depth images for each 3D point and learns an efficient body part classifier. However, high-dimensional features are memory-consuming and difficult to handle on large-scale training dataset. In this paper, we propose an efficient two-stage dim...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this work was to study the effect of 7 days of strict glycemic control with insulin on glomerular function and structure in streptozotocin (STZ)-diabetic rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three groups of adult male Fischer rats were studied: controls (n = 15), diabetics (n = 15), and insulin-treated diabetics (n = 15). Diabetes was induced by treating the rats with STZ (55 mg/k...

While microorganisms are recognized for driving belowground processes that influence the productivity and fitness of plant populations, vast majority bacteria fungi in soil belong to a seed bank consisting dormant individuals. However, performance may be affected by microbial dormancy through its effects on activity, abundance, diversity microorganisms. To test how banks plant-soil interactions...
