Kidneys are the organs that remove the waste products of the metabolic activities. A smooth blood flow to the kidneys is essential to maintain their function. Abnormalities of the renal vasculature may result not only in impairing the renal function but can lead to conditions like varicocele. During an autopsy of an adult male, we observed renal vascular variations. The left renal vein had a re...

This course will describe the distinct characteristics of tumor physiological phenotype and MRI-based approaches to assess tumor physiology. The main objectives of this lecture are to provide instructions/ updates on (i) Physiological consequences of oncogenesis; (ii) Application of MRI in visualizing tumor physiology; (iii) Establishing physiological MRI end-points for targeted anti-cancer age...

Transgenic mice containing a ren-2 promoter T-antigen fusion construct (TAG+) develop renal vascular hypertrophy and hyperplasia associated with markedly suppressed renal renin mRNA, renal renin content, and plasma renin concentration. These animals are normotensive. In the present study, the renal and cardiovascular systems are characterized, revealing some surprising findings. Not only are th...

vesicoureteral reflux (vur) is one of the most important causes of urinary tract infection and renal failure in children. it is a potentially self-limited disease. the aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical course and significant factors in children with primary vur. the medical charts of 125 infants and children (27.2 % males, 72.8% females) with all grades of primary vur were retrospe...

Developmental physiology encompasses the bodily changes taking place after birth that affect clinical anesthetic management. This chapter covers the basic principles of these changes, including cardiac, respiratory, neurologic, hematologic, and renal physiology. In addition, principles of developmental pharmacology as they pertain to the administration of intravenous and inhalational anesthetic...
