Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the main functional index of kidney health and disease. Currently, no methods are available to directly measure tubular mass and function. Here, we report a serendipitous finding that the in vitro cell viability dye resazurin can be used in mice as an exogenous sensor of tubular function.

Objective(s): The objective is to describe the rationale, design, and early findings from the registry.
Article Synopsis
- Chronic heart failure (CHF) presents distinct gender-specific factors that impact patient care, yet women are underrepresented in related studies, highlighting a need for more focused research.
- This study examines 1,290 CHF patients to analyze gender differences in causes, comorbidities, treatment, and one-year mortality rates.
- Findings reveal that men, who made up 55.8% of the study group, generally had worse health outcomes, prevalent comorbidities, and higher mortality rates compared to women, suggesting significant gender disparities in CHF profiles.
ATRIAL FIBRILLATION IN WEST AFRICA: LESSONS GLEANED FROM THE IBADAN AF PROJECT.
West Afr J Med
November 2024
Introduction/background: There is still little data on clinical profile and atrial fibrillation (AF) characteristics in West Africa. Traditionally the risk factor for chronic AF in the sub-region is chronic rheumatic heart disease. However, with the rapid demographic and epidemiologic transition in the sub-region, the risk factors, clinical profile, and complications of AF appear to be changing.

- Cholangiocarcinomas are malignant tumors originating from bile duct epithelium and are commonly found in dogs, particularly exotic breeds aged 2-5 years.
- The study analyzed five cases reported from 2012 to 2021, focusing on clinical signs, blood tests, and postmortem examinations to improve diagnosis techniques.
- Findings consistently included severe malnutrition, jaundice, anemia, and characteristic neoplastic cell clusters, although early diagnosis is challenging due to a lack of specific early-stage symptoms.
