INTRODUCTION Disorders of fetal growth, such as intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and large for gestational age (LGA), have been found to have a profound effect on the development of the fetal kidney. Abnormal kidney development is associated with hypertension and chronic kidney disease later in life. This study will use a novel ultrasound measurement to assess the renal parenchymal growth...

Abstract The objective of this work was to analyze structurally the pods and seed coats soybean (Glycine max) cultivars, as well determine quality seeds when subjected deterioration by weathering in pre-harvest. A 7×3 factorial arrangement used – seven cultivars three volumes simulated rainfall (0, 54, 162 mm). Exposure R8 phenological stage. Then, plants were taken a greenhouse, where they kep...

Result: PCN was successful in 98.55% units. Significant improvement in renal function occurred in 88% patients. Mean urea dropped from 89.68mg/dl ±39.95 to 65.34±16.55 mg/d and mean S. creatinine decreased from 4.31±2.84 to 2.61±1.21 between 14-35 days. No statistically significant increase was seen in renal parenchymal thickness. Major complications developed in 4.33% while minor in 50.72% PCN...

results of all 93 assessed children (52 male, 41 female) with mean age 6.45 y/o, 18 cases (19.4%) had abnormal renal parenchymal echogenicity (equal or more than liver).the final diagnosis of the cause of abdominal pain in 43 cases (46.2%) was acute appendicitis, in 8 cases (8.6%) was mesenteric adenitis, in 4 cases (4.3%) was gastroenteritis and in 2 cases (2.2%) was invagination. conclusions ...

To investigate the role of endogenous inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in the response of the developing kidney to unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO), neonatal iNOS null mutant (-/-) and wild-type (WT) mice were subjected to partial or complete UUO. At 7 and 21 days of age, apoptosis, renin, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), fibroblasts (anti-fibroblast-specific peptide 1), my...

The liver of a healthy adult weights 1650 Gm. on the average and it is by far the largest gland in the body. It consists of lobes which vary in size and differ to some extent in the sources of their afferent blood supplies. The liver is encased in a membrane of connective tissue. This extends into the liver at the transverse fissure of the undersurface (porta) in the form of a tree with innumer...

BACKGROUND Many conditions affect renal size. To evaluate abnormalities in renal size, knowledge of standardised values for normal renal dimensions is essential as it shows variability in the values of normal renal size depending on body size, age and ethnicity. Ultrasound, being an easily available, noninvasive, safe and less expensive modality, is widely used for evaluation of renal dimension...

Nitrogen dioxide (NO2), the oxidation product of nitric oxide (NO), is a reactive free radical forming gas, the inhalation of which has been reported to induce severe damage to distal airways. In order to quantify dose and time course of parenchymal and vascular damage, rats were exposed to 5, 10 and 20 ppm NO2 for 3 and 25 days, followed by quantitative histology and morphometry of the lung. H...
