BACKGROUND :Elevated renal flow pulsatility may contribute to the pathogenesis of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The purpose of this study was to investigate the associations among age, renal flow pulsatility, and CKD biomarkers in non-CKD adults and CKD patients. METHODS :Non-CKD adults (n=415...
Our analyses suggest that the magnitude of sex differences in mammalian mortality patterns is likely shaped by local environmental conditions in interaction with the sex-specific costs of sexual selection. 展开 关键词: comparative analysis life history longevity senescence sexual selection ...

Low nephron number — resulting, for example, from prematurity or developmental anomalies — is a risk factor for the development of hypertension, chronic kidney disease and kidney failure. Considerable interest therefore exists in the mechanisms that regulate nephron endowment and contribute to the prem...
Red cell half-life is reduced among patients with advanced kidney disease. The exact magnitude of reduction has been difficult to characterize. While the normal red cell life is approximately 120days, estimates in dialysis patients have been as low as 40–80days. The mechanisms behind the reduced...
Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is an inherited condition that causes cysts on the kidney, and can ultimately result in kidney failure. HCM, or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, is a bit more commonly known to pet owners. This genetic disease causes a thickening of the wall of the heart, gradually...
Pharmacological attenuation of mTOR presents a promising route for delay of age-related disease. Here we show that treatment of Drosophila with the mTOR inhibitor rapamycin extends lifespan in females, but not in males. Female-specific, age-related gut p
Other causes of vocalisation include dental pain, high blood pressure and kidney disease. As cats become older, they alsosleep more. This includes any sleeping, from deep sleep to cat naps to dozing. Older cats go out less, explore less and generally do less, giving them more time to rest...
Chartreux cats generally live for 12-15 years and are usually healthy but can be prone to certain health issues such as urinary tract problems and kidney disease. Although they don’t require any special exercise, playing games and spending time with them can make them more energetic. They alw...
Degenerative myelopathy is a progressive disease that affects the spinal cord, mainly in older Corgis, and is incurable. The condition starts with a loss of coordination in the back legs and then the forelegs until they can no longer walk. ...
