The stated objectives of these Target Organ Toxicity Symposia are to review the morphology, physiology, and biochemistry of the particular organ system, describe means used to assess toxicity, evaluate tests used for this assessment, and finally, to propose the application of recent advances to the development of practical test procedures. Basically, the intent is to discuss ways of evaluating ...

Tune JD, Sturek M, Basile DP. Flipped classroom model improves graduate student performance in cardiovascular, respiratory, and renal physiology. Adv Physiol Educ 37: 316 –320, 2013; doi:10.1152/advan.00091.2013.—The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a traditional lecture-based curriculum versus a modified “flipped classroom” curriculum of cardiovascular, respiratory, and...

In cell culture, extracellular guanosine increases extracellular adenosine by attenuating the disposition of extracellular adenosine (American Journal of Physiology - Cell Physiology 304: C406-C421, 2013). The goal of this investigation was to determine whether this "guanosine-adenosine mechanism" is operative in an intact organ. Twenty-seven isolated, perfused mouse kidneys were subjected to m...

Six patients with mitral stenosis complicated by renal artery embolism studied prospectively are presented. In five patients there was unilateral and in one patient bilateral renal artery involvement. The diagnosis was confirmed by intravenous pyelography, retrograde pyelography, renal angiography, renal scan or a combination of these. All had atrial fibrillation, proteinuria and elevated ...

Physiology, 3rd Edition is a classically good textbook. Lucid, well written, and easy to use, this edition makes a perfect companion to a physiology course. Designed on the principles of the 2nd edition to emphasize broad concepts of physiology, the 3rd edition has been revised to make the text as accurate, current and clear as possible. The section on renal, respiratory and central nervous sys...

This report presents highlights of a refresher course presented at Experimental Biology '99 on Saturday, April 17, 1999, in Washington, District of Columbia.

The Department of Physiology at the Medical College of Virginia/Virginia Commonwealth University offered a human physiology course to middle school and high school science teachers in the Richmond, VA, area. It was a three-credit course, team taught, and given at a location convenient to many area teachers. This course served the community by contributing to the continuing education efforts of ...
