Since patients’ prognosis depends on the lesions identified by kidney biopsy (KB), we aimed to evaluate predictors of non-diabetic kidney disease (NDKD) in diabetic subjects and to assess their kidney outcome as compared to diabetic nephropathy (DN).

180 adults diagnosed by KB with DN (n = 120) or NDKD (n = 60), over a 10 year time-sp…[Read more]

Secondary exposure to e-cigarette aerosol (passive vaping) will soon become a pressing public health issue in the world. Yet, the current knowledge about respiratory depositions of e-cigarette aerosol through passive vaping in human airways is limited due to critical weaknesses of traditional experimental methods. To fill in this important…[Read more]

These specific patterns of elemental release could become powerful geochemical forensic tracers of improper recycling activities of e-waste in the environment. Most studies until now have investigated just a few key contaminants, despite the cocktail of pollutants contained in electronics. Therefore, a full assessment of the leaching potential of…[Read more]

The primary objective of this study was to determine the incidence of symptomatic venous thromboembolism (VTE), including pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT), in the hip fracture population. Secondary objectives included determining timing of VTE diagnosis, VTE thromboprophylaxis given, and identifying any factors associated…[Read more]

We report the synthesis and stereospecific solid-state photodecarbonylation of a hexasubstituted ketone featuring six distinct α-substituents. The photoproduct of the solid-state transformation features vicinal all-carbon quaternary stereocenters. While reactions carried out in bulk powders and aqueous crystalline suspensions were complicated by…[Read more]
