Noninvasive assessment of single kidney glomerular filtration rate using multiple diffusion weighted imaging models.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess single kidney glomerular filtration rate (GFR) using various diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) models.

Methods: We reviewed adult patients with kidney diseases who underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination from February 2021 to December 2023. DWI with 13 b-values was performed using 3.

Modified no-touch technique for radio-cephalic arteriovenous fistula increases primary patency and decreases juxta-anastomotic stenosis.

Objective: Low primary patency rate is a major problem of radio-cephalic arteriovenous fistula (RC-AVF) creation. Radial artery deviation and reimplantation (RADAR) is associated with low juxta-anastomotic stenosis rate. However, inflow artery stenosis is prominent with RADAR.

Inhibition of KIF20A by transcription factor IRF6 affects the progression of renal clear cell carcinoma.

Background: Renal clear cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors, whose incidence is increasing year by year. IRF6 plays an important role in the occurrence of tumors, although there is yet no report on its expression in ccRCC.

Methods: The expression of IRF6 and KIF20A in ccRCC was predicted by GEPIA and HAP databases.
