Article Synopsis
- Malaria is a common but serious infectious disease that can lead to kidney issues, yet the specific kidney problems following malaria are not well understood.* -
- A retrospective study in France examined 23 patients who had kidney biopsies after experiencing malaria, with many showing signs of acute kidney injury and nephrotic syndrome.* -
- Most patients had focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, with a significant number also having HIV, and after 23 months of follow-up, a portion of patients still needed kidney replacement therapy.*
We assessed the tubular reabsorption of phosphate (TRP) and maximal renal threshold for phosphate reabsorption to glomerular filtration rate (TmPi/GFR) and their determinants in 64 stages 2-4 chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients in order to define the early changes in phosphate metabolism in CKD. In multivariable analysis, TmPi/GFR correlates were estimated GFR (eGFR), intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), and hemoglobin (R2 = 0.417), while TRP correlates were eGFR, iPTH, 24-h phosphaturia, and calcitriol (R2 = 0.

However, most of these studies have focused on tasks that require specific musical knowledge. In contrast, the present study investigates the perception of timbre by CI subjects using a multidimensional scaling (MDS) paradigm.
