Chapter 5 Urinary system Objectives After completing this chapter, you should be able to name and locate (on a diagram) the organs that compose the system, explain what the term renal refers to, define the term retroperitoneal; using a cross-section diagram of a kidney, locate the renal ...
Cataloging studies Detecting and quantifying the endogenous peptides in urine, which span a wide concentration range, has posed a challenge for a single technique. Mullen et al. couple a reflectron time-of-flight analyzer with a capillary electrophoresis (CE) system or a nanoflow high-performance...
Intravenous pyelography is performed by administering iodine-based dye to view functionality of the urinary system. Many individuals are allergic to shellfish; therefore, the first nursing priority is to assess the patient for an allergic reaction that could be life threatening. The nurse should ...
There are many types of salt labels for prepackaged foods, including food labels, color-coded labeling (e.g., traffic light labels in the UK), warning labels (e.g., ‘high in:::’ warning statements in South America and the Health Star Rating system in Australia)55,56. At present, ...
currently none of these urinary protein biomarkers have been introduced into clinical practice, since current diagnostic biomarkers are suboptimal and of poor utility for low-grade disease and surveillance. To become routine tests, these biomarker candidates should be carefully tested in multicenter clinica...
Standard ELISA incubation steps such as initial sample incubation, washing, secondary antibody incubation, washing, incubation are employed, but the labeling and reporting system used in the Q-Plex Array™ is chemiluminescent. Chemiluminescent ELISAs have been shown to be more sensitive than ...
promoting differentiation of bladder SMC-like cells, in vitro studies were performed that focused on the expression of SM biomarkers, contractile function, labeling techniques with EGFP and growth patterns of bone marrow cells on SIS matrix in vitro....
In particular, DMD USCs are enriched in gene sets of smooth muscle cells only, whereas USCs from the pool of control individuals are enriched in gene sets characteristic of cells from a different component of the urinary system. ES, enrichment score; FDR, false discovery rate. A specific “...
Alternatively, the probe may be unlabeled and the ingredients for labeling may be included in the kit in separate containers; and (ii) hybridization reagents: the kit may also contain other suitably packaged reagents and materials needed for the particular hybridization protocol, including solid-phase...
Using arterial spin labeling, a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) technique that allows quantitative measurement of cerebral perfusion, the authors found that urinary urgency is associated with quantitative increases in cerebral perfusion in the limbic system known to process emotional response ...
