Thus, interventions that efficiently attenuate nephron overload in early disease stages can protect remnant kidney cells and nephrons, and delay CKD progression. This Review provides a conceptual framework for individualized diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of CKD with the goal of maximizing kidney ...
“啰嗦”和“长生不老”两个词放在一起总让人想起《大话西游》里的唐僧。整体来讲这是一本非常啰嗦的书。感觉作者没有分清科普读者和传记读者的区别,后者可能会对他研究的发现过程和整个来龙去脉,如何从某一次晚餐的愉快讨论发展到学术合作之类的等等细节很感兴趣,但是如果讲太多这些东西对前者来说就有点无聊了...
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...

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...
Autism isnota risk factor for heart disease, cancer, stroke or chronic lower respiratory diseases, which are alltop killers. It’s not a risk factor for other top 10 killers such as diabetes and kidney disease. So why is the average life expectancy for Level 1 autism only 58?
Although the increased lifespan of our populations illustrates the success of modern medicine, the risk of developing many diseases increases exponentially with old age. Caloric restriction is known to retard ageing and delay functional decline as well as the onset of disease in most organisms. Studi...
About one in five people carry a single copy of the varian, known as KL-VS,which boosts levels of the protein and is associated with a longer lifespan and improved heart and kidney function. A small minority, 3% of the population, has two copies, which is linked to a shorter lifespan...
