Background: The juxta-anastomotic stenosis (JAS) represents the major complication of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) during the first months after the surgery and the approach to JAS can be surgical or radiological.

Methods: From 01/02/2016 to 31/12/2020, a total of 976 radiocephalic fistulas have been performed. The 15.

Introduction: Sarcopenia is a chronic pathological condition, first defined in 2010 and revised in 2018. The most recent definition of sarcopenia focuses mostly on "low muscle strength." A secondary form of sarcopenia is represented by uremic sarcopenia (US), a condition that characterizes end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients.

Article Synopsis
  • - Obstructive nephropathy (ON) is a reversible condition that can cause acute kidney injury, resulting from blockage in the urinary tracts; it may not always present with hydronephrosis, leading to a form called non-dilated obstructive uropathy (NDOU).
  • - NDOU typically occurs in older males and can present symptoms like low urine output, abdominal pain, and high serum creatinine levels; it often stems from external ureter compression due to conditions like retroperitoneal fibrosis or tumors.
  • - Effective treatments include minimally invasive methods like ureteric stenting or nephrostomy, and timely diagnosis is crucial for managing the obstruction and potentially reversing kidney damage.

Nonsense variants can inactivate gene function by causing the synthesis of truncated proteins or by inducing nonsense mediated decay of messenger RNAs. The occurrence of such variants in the genomes of livestock species is modulated by multiple demographic and selective factors. Even though nonsense variants can have causal effects on embryo lethality, abortions, and disease, their genomic distribution and segregation in domestic goats have not been characterized in depth yet.
