Infection in patients with nephrotic syndrome has been described as hallmark of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome. The aim of present article is to study the clinical profile of infections in children with steroid responsive nephrotic syndrome and correlation of serum albumin and serum cholesterol level with episodes of infection in children with steroid responsive nephrotic syndrome. The predictiv...

Current Linux kernels include a facility called TCP SYN cookies, conceived to face SYN flooding attacks. However, the current implementation of SYN cookies does not support the negotiation of TCP options, although some of them are relevant for throughput performance, such as large windows or selective acknowledgment. In this paper we present an improvement of the SYN cookie protocol, using all ...

Machines that provide TCP services are often susceptible to various types of Denial of Service attacks from external hosts on the network. One particular type of attack is known as a SYN flood, where external hosts attempt to overwhelm the server machine by sending a constant stream of TCP connection requests, forcing the server to allocate resources for each new connection until all resources ...

An updated revision of Oriental Dryinidae is presented. Seven subfamilies, 20 genera and 368 species are treated. Eight new species are described: Aphelopus zonalis Xu, Olmi & He, sp. nov. (China, Hainan); Anteon zoilum Xu, Olmi & He, sp. nov. (China, Yunnan), Anteon zonarium Xu, Olmi & He, sp. nov. (China, Yunnan), Anteon zopyrum Xu, Olmi & He, sp. nov. (China, Xizang), Anteon zoroastrum Xu, O...

A 3-year-old girl was presented with periorbital edema, hypertension, proteinuria, and hematuria. She recovered clinically after 9 days with normal urinalysis. During the follow-up, she developed recurrent episodes of nephrotic syndrome. The kidney biopsy revealed mild mesangial proliferation and a low dose of prednisolone could effectively control the disease.Iran J Med Sci 2005; 30(1): 38-40....

The discovery that alpha-synuclein (α-syn) is the primary component of the neuropathological hallmarks of Parkinson's disease (PD) and the identification of α-syn mutations in numerous inherited forms of PD has positioned α-syn at the top of the list of important factors in the pathogenesis of PD. Based on the pathological accumulation of α-syn in the brains of patients, the field is currently ...

Glomerular disease is a common cause for proteinuria and chronic kidney disease leading to end-stage renal disease requiring dialysis or kidney transplantation in children. Nephrotic syndrome in children is diagnosed by the presence of a triad of proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, and edema. Minimal change disease is the most common histopathological finding in children and adolescents with nephroti...

The proposal in this document is experimental. While it may be deployed in the current Internet, it does not represent a consensus that this is the best possible mechanism for the use of ECN in TCP SYN/ACK packets. This draft describes an optional, experimental modification to RFC 3168 to allow TCP SYN/ACK packets to be ECN-Capable. For TCP, RFC 3168 only specifies setting an ECN-Capable codepo...

the hematological malignancies associated with nephrotic syndrome are mainly hodgkin’s and non-hodgkin’s lymphomas and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. acute myelogenous leukemia (aml) has rarely been described in associated with nephritic syndrome. we report a rare case of acute myelogenous leukemia who presented with nephrotic syndrome. a previously healthy 62-year-old man was admitted in nephro...
