Background: Proliferative glomerulonephritis with monoclonal immunoglobulin deposits (PGNMID) is a rare entity classified under the umbrella of monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance. The clinical implications of circulating monoclonal immunoglobulin (MIg), light chain restriction on immunofluorescence (IF) microscopy, histopathological pattern, and type of therapy on renal outcomes are not clearly defined.
Materials And Methods: Sixteen patients of PGNMID diagnosed between 2013 and 2020 were included from a biopsy registry of 11,459 patients at a single center.
Article Synopsis
- * The study presents a coronene-dipeptide conjugate (Cr-o-FF) that self-assembles into two distinct stable 1D supramolecular polymorphs (Agg 1 and Agg 2f) in the same solvent and concentration, influenced by the method of solvent addition.
- * Agg 1 forms through a classical nucleation mechanism with monomers, while Agg 2f arises from preorganized oligomers in a nonclassical process, highlighting the importance of prenucleation clusters in the complexity and polymorphism of these
Background: There is a paucity of studies describing trabecular bone score (TBS) and bone mineral density (BMD) in kidney transplant (KT) recipients from developing countries.
Study Setting: This prospective observational study, from a tertiary teaching hospital in India assessed clinical, biochemical parameters including bone turnover markers and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) for BMD/TBS, hip structural analysis (HSA) and vertebral fracture assessment (VFA) at pre-KT, 3 months and 12 months post-KT.
Results: A total of 53 KT recipients (90.
Article Synopsis
- The study looked at how atopic dermatitis (AD), a skin condition, can affect children's growth in height.
- Researchers checked a lot of articles to see if kids with AD were shorter than those without, and found mixed results: some studies linked AD to being shorter, while others did not.
- They found that kids with more severe AD, those who had it from a young age, had trouble sleeping, or had certain diet restrictions were more likely to have growth problems.
