Background: Transplant renal artery stenosis (TRAS) is a post-operative complication which most often occurs between 3 months and 2 years after transplantation. TRAS is associated with kidney failure and hypertension and, thereby, with an increased risk of cardiovascular events.
Purpose: The purpose of this retrospective study was to report our experience of perfusion computed tomography angiography (P-CTA) to identify a 50% lumen reduction (as compared to digital subtraction angiography, DSA), assess its subjective image quality and evaluate if contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) occurred.
L-Ascorbic acid (AsA, vitamin C) is a key antioxidant and enzyme cofactor in plants. Ascorbate controls cell division, affects cell expansion, and plays an important role in modulating plant senescence. It protects plants against reactive oxygen species that are produced in response to abiotic and biotic stresses.

- The study examined how accurately parents and children report changes in asthma symptoms over time in a group of 53 asthmatic kids.
- Parental reports were found to be more accurate than children's reports for children aged 6 to 10, while both were equally accurate for those 11 years and older.
- In both age groups, neither parental nor child reports showed a strong correlation with changes in lung function.
This cohort study was conducted to evaluate the accuracy of parental and child's reports of changes in asthma symptoms. Fifty three asthmatic children and their parents were interviewed at enrollment and after 4 and 8 weeks. The outcomes were parental and child's reports of changes in asthma symptoms, changes in mean daily symptom scores and changes in pulmonary function.
