BACKGROUND Equations for estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR) have not been validated in Sub-Saharan African populations, and data on GFR are few. METHODS GFR by creatinine clearance (Ccr) using 24-hour urine collections and estimated GFR (eGFR) using the four-variable Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD-4)[creatinine calibrated to isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS) stan...

Purpose:Despite therapeutic advances, non–Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) remain incurable. They form a group of neoplasms strongly dependent on their inflammatory microenvironment, which plays an important supportive role in tumorB-cell survival and in the resistance to antitumor immune response.New therapies must consider both tumor cells and their surrounding microenvironment Experimental Design: St...

Dasatinib is a small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor that targets a wide variety of tyrosine kinases implicated in the pathophysiology of several neoplasias. Among the most sensitive dasatinib targets are ABL, the SRC family kinases (SRC, LCK, HCK, FYN, YES, FGR, BLK, LYN, and FRK), and the receptor tyrosine kinases c-KIT, platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) a and b, discoidin do...

Introducción: El carcinoma de células renales (CCR) representa el 80-90% todos los cánceres riñón con una edad máxima incidencia entre 60-70 años. Los tres síntomas más comunes son hematuria, dolor en costado y masa costado. La mejor opción tratamiento para la enfermedad renal crónica es trasplante renal. uno factores riesgo del CCR. mayoría casos se diagnostican después un renal; diagnóstico d...

Over 760 legume species occur in the ecologically-heterogeneous Core Cape Subregion (CCR) of South Africa. This study tested whether the main symbionts of CCR legumes (Burkholderia and Mesorhizobium) are phylogenetically structured by altitude, pH and soil types. Rhizobial strains were isolated from field nodules of diverse CCR legumes and sequenced for 16S ribosomic RNA (rRNA), recombinase A (...
