ABSTRACT Idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) is a frequent cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults.In terms of etiology, the condition may be categorized as primary/idiopathic or secondary.Literature on the pathophysiology of IMN has indicated the presence of autoantibodies (PLA2R and THSD7A) directed against podocyte antigens.The detection of an
The present study aimed to investigate the reproductive biology of male killer whales.Changes in the concentrations of two circulating testicular hormones, inhibin and testosterone, were monitored during sexual maturation of two male Type 1 Eastern Northern Atlantic killer whales over a period of 20 years.The two killer whales grew rapidly at the p
Arterial aneurysms remain a significant public health problem because they often result in death when ruptured; therefore, they require immediate medical treatment.Endovascular HERBATINT 2N aneurysm repair (EVAR) has recently become the primary treatment option, owing to the fewer side effects compared to those with open surgery.However, stents use
The aim of this pilot experiment was to compare the effect of resistance training (rt) versus static stretching (ss) on hamstring flexibility.Study was conducted on 18 volunteers (n=18), Home Fragrance cadet hockey players with average age 14y.Hamstring flexibility was measured by thomayers test and both active and passive range of motion (rom) of
AimsHuman epicardial adipose tissue, a dynamic source of multiple bioactive factors, holds a close functional and anatomic relationship with the epicardial coronary arteries and communicates with the coronary artery wall through paracrine and vasocrine secretions.We explored the hypothesis that T-cell recruitment into epicardial adipose tissue (EAT
