Vasopressin is involved in kidney function and will not be discussed here. Oxytocin is a protein hormone. It is released secondary to neurologic stimulation. The two stimuli best documented to cause oxytocin release are pressure of the head of a puppy into the cervix during whelping (Ferguson's...
In vivo studies in rats exposed to Cd demonstrate that Laurus extract administration mitigates Cd-induced alterations in body and brain weight, hematological parameters, liver and kidney function, oxidative stress markers, and acetylcholinesterase (AchE) activity. Histopathological examination confirms the ...
Within an implementation research project, context is dynamic and should be assessed across all stages of a study [83]. Too often, dynamic contexts are not fully understood or assessed [30]. In some cases, the context for delivery (e.g., a particular clinical setting) is relatively stable,...
The dialysis machine used as an artificial replacement for lost kidney function was conceived and devised out of a pressure cooker by William Inouye while he was still a student at Penn Med; the Rubella and Hepatitis B vaccines were developed at Penn; the discovery of cancer’s link with ...
Transcriptomic studies of kidney cancer patients showed differential expres- sion of almost 300 genes between tumors with different stage, size, and stage of kidney tumors, while advanced stage tumors showed overexpression of glucose-6- phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), amyloid-like protein 1 (APL...
