This text provides an overview of the key issues in designing and analyzing observational biomarker studies. The failure to properly design and analyze such studies has led to falsely optimistic expectations regarding biomarker utility. The challenge in presenting relevant material is that the topics, although already published individually, are spread over a wide range of articles and textbooks in epidemiology, statistics and clinical research. This text pulls together all major concepts and pr...

Stjarne: The present review puts the emphasis on two important developments: the discovery that individual postganglionic sympathetic neurons may secrete multiple transmitter substances from different classes of vesicles and by different mechanisms, and the introduction of new techniques which may permit for the first time direct impulse by impulse analysis of transmitter secretion in individual sympathetic nerve varicosities. Illes: Exogenous and endogen opioid peptides elicit a number of effec...
Kidney Research (Methods in Molecular Biology, #466)
As the expense of treating a growing number of end-stage kidney disease patients increases, greater attention has been paid to prevention and early treatment. The study of renal disease, however, suffers due to the complex nature of renal anatomy and physiology and the plethora of different cell types found in the kidney. In Kidney Research: Experimental Protocols, top experts in the field seek to aid researchers by providing a number of specialized techniques developed to examine this intricate...

Four days after surgery, came a terrifying rejection episode - and t...

However over the past 20 years the prospects for treatment and survival have dramatically improved thanks to medical advances. This book has been specially written for these patients and their families. After explaining the causes and symptons of kidney failure, the various treatment options are conside...
Amiloride-Sensitive Sodium Channels (Current Topics in Membranes, #47)
by Fambrough
Sodium reabsorbing epithelia play a major role in whole-body sodium homeostasis. Some examples of sodium regulating tissues include kidney, colon, lung, and sweat ducts. Sodium transport across these membranes is a two-step process: entry through an amiloride-sensitive sodium channel and exit via the ouabain-sensitive sodium/potassium ATPase. The sodium entry channels are the rate-limiting determinant for transport and are regulated by several different hormones. The sodium channels also play a...
