Urinary exosomes.

12 Oct 2009 Exosomes are nanovesicles of endocytic origin that are secreted into the extracellular space or body fluids when a multivesicular body (MVB) fuses with the cell membrane. Interest in exosomes intensified after their description in antigen-presenting ... Read more...

Idiopathic recurrent calcium urolithiasis (IRCU): variation of fasting urinary protein is a window to pathophysiology or simple consequence of renal stones in situ? A tripartite study in male patients providing insight into oxidative metabolism as possible driving force towards alteration of urine composition, calcium salt crystallization and stone formation.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: In IRCU it is uncertain whether variation of urinary protein, especially non-albumin protein (N-Alb-P), is due to the presence of stones or reflects alteration of oxidative metabolism. AIMS: To validate in a tripartite cross-sectional ... Read more...

Medical certification for pilots of commercial suborbital spaceflights.

30 Aug 2009 The Aerospace Medical Association convened a Working Group on October 31, 2008, with the objective of preparing a position statement on medical certification for pilots of commercial suborbital flights. The discussion concerned two areas: medical ... Read more...
