Nephrotic and Non-Nephrotic Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis: Clinical Characteristics, Etiology, and Columbia Classification.

: Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a pattern of kidney injury with diverse causes and pathogeneses, resulting in podocyte injury and depletion. It can be classified as primary, genetic, or secondary. Because FSGS classically has a worse prognosis in patients with nephrotic syndrome, most studies have focused on the treatment and evolution of these patients, resulting in a lack of data related to patients without nephrotic syndrome.

Twelve weeks of exercise training improves cognitive status, physical performance and quality of life in Alzheimer's disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder in which there is slow and gradual impairment of mental function. Considering the increase in cases due to population aging, the potential benefits of physical training in AD are of great importance and need further elucidation. This study aims to identify the impact of physical training on crucial aspects of AD such as cognitive status, physical performances, quality of life and activities of daily living.

Zooplankton abundance and biovolume size-spectra in the western tropical Atlantic - From the shelf towards complex oceanic current systems.

Mesozooplankton plays a pivotal role within marine food webs. However, there is a paucity of studies examining the size-spectra and trophic efficiency of these communities in tropical neritic and oceanic waters. Here, normalised biovolume (NBSS) and normalised numbers size-spectra (NNSS) were fitted on zooplankton data from the southwestern tropical Atlantic.
