• Among patients with kidney failure and atrial fibrillation, Black, Hispanic White, and Asian patients filled prescriptions of stroke-preventive medications less often than non-Hispanic White patients, and they were more likely to experience stroke. • Equalizing the distribution of these medications would prevent 7%–12% of the stroke disparity among racial/ethnic minorities.
Diabetes affects nearly 1 in 10 adults in the U.S., of these millions, more than 90% have Type 2 diabetes. Controlling blood sugar and glycosylated hemoglobin levels ― or HbA1c, which is sometimes referred to as A1C ― is key to diabetes management and necessary to prevent its immediate and long-term complications. However, new Mayo Clinic research shows that diabetes management may be dangerously misaligned.
Mayo Clinic的研究人员发现，活体捐献者的肾脏中有一些用显微镜才能观察到的细微结构特征，从这些结构特征中或许可以预测肾脏在接受者体内移植失败的风险。这一发现发表于在线版的Journal of the American Society of Nephrology《美国肾脏学会期刊》上。
Forscher von Mayo Clinic haben entdeckt, dass subtile Strukturmerkmale in Nieren von lebenden Spendern, die nur mit einem Mikroskop gesehen werden können, auf das Risiko für eine Abstoßung beim Empfänger hindeuten können.
اكتشف الباحثون لدى Mayo Clinic أن سِمات بنيوية دقيقة لا يمكن رؤيتها إلا بالمِجهر في الكُلى المأخوذة من المتبرِّعين قد تُنبئ بخطورة فشل زراعة الكُلى للمُتلقِّين. وقد نُشِرت نتائج الدراسة على الإنترنت في مجلَّة الجمعية الأمريكية لطب الكُلى.
Des chercheurs de Mayo Clinic ont découvert que de subtiles caractéristiques que l’on peut observer uniquement au microscope au niveau de la structure des reins provenant de donneurs vivants, pourraient prédire le risque d'échec des greffes chez les receveurs.
Los investigadores de Mayo Clinic descubrieron que algunas características estructurales sutiles de los riñones de los donantes vivos, las cuales solo es posible ver en el microscopio, pueden predecir el riesgo del fracaso del trasplante en el receptor.
Pesquisadores da Mayo Clinic descobriram que características estruturais sutis nos rins de doadores vivos que só podem ser vistas com um microscópio podem ajudar a prever o risco de transplantes malsucedidos nos receptores. Os achados foram publicados virtualmente no Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (Revista da Sociedade Americana de Nefrologia).
High levels of protein in a patient’s urine shortly after an episode of acute kidney injury is associated with increased risk of kidney disease progression, providing a valuable tool in predicting those at highest risk for future loss of kidney function.
Mayo Clinic researchers have discovered that subtle structural features in kidneys from living donors that can only be seen with a microscope may predict the risk of transplant failure in recipients. The findings are published online in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology.
A protein newly identified as important in type 1 diabetes can delay onset of the disease in diabetic mice, providing a new target for prevention and treatment in people, according to research led by scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Indiana University School of Medicine.
UT Southwestern researchers find that humans and mice with pancreatitis are deficient in a stress hormone called FGF21.
A new Johns Hopkins Medicine-led study provides the strongest evidence to date that hundreds of deceased donor kidneys, discarded each year after being deemed not suitable under current medical criteria, can be transplanted safely and effectively.
Tiny solutions are being sought for big liver problems by a scientist at McGovern Medical School at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth).
Which of the two most common bariatric surgeries – gastric sleeve or gastric bypass – has the highest subsequent risk of additional operations or procedures?
With the help of a $1.7 million grant from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases of the National Institutes of Health, a team of researchers in Wayne State’s College of Engineering will explore ways to address urgent need for a safe and efficient oral delivery technology for insulin to improve the lives of diabetes patients.
Scientists at Wake Forest School of Medicine have identified a dead probiotic that reduces age-related leaky gut in older mice. The study is published in the journal GeroScience.
Study in mice shows the nervous system not only detects the presence of Salmonella in the gut but actively stops the organism from infecting the body Nerves in the gut prevent Salmonella infection by shutting the cellular gates that allow bacteria to invade the intestine and spread beyond it As a second line of defense, gut neurons help avert Salmonella invasion by maintaining the levels of key protective microbes in the gut Findings reveal prominent role for nervous system in infection protection and regulation of immunity
University of Illinois at Chicago researchers will study patients with sleep apnea and chronic kidney disease.
Study based at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and other centers finds new system has safety, efficacy benefits for people with type 1 diabetes
