    Scientists from over 20 major research centers recently convened to discuss advances and new discoveries in "Protein MisFolding and MisProcessing in Disease." Understanding protein mechanisms the underlying etiology of complex diseases lies in analyzing the associated biochemical mechanisms, which include folding patterns, processing patterns, chaperone regulators, stress pathways, and signal transduction.

    To develop and test the feasibility of a need-based psychosocial training programme for family caregivers of in-patients with schizophrenia in India. Six topics for the psychosocial training programme were identified. Each day's programme was based on a theoretical approach and involved a combination of methodologies. A structured questionnaire eliciting comments on each day's topic, content and methodology was given independently to 11 experienced mental health professionals for validation. The final version of the programme based on the feedback given by the experts was pilot tested on a group of six caregivers to check for feasibility. Experts gave an average score of '4' (very much - on a 5 point Likert scale) when asked whether the overall psychosocial programme will achieve its objective of helping the caregiver reduce their burden. They independently approved the theoretical approach and methodology used for each day's topic and suggested many changes. In ...

    Lymphocele incidence after kidney transplantation is as high as 18%. We retrospectively studied the therapy of 42 lymphoceles that occurred in our clinic between 1990 and 2005, focusing on possible predisposing factors for their formation and the results of several therapy variants: conservative, operative, percutaneous puncture, and laparoscopic or open marsupialization.There was no connection between lymphocele formation and the following parameters: the extent to which the iliac vessels had been prepared, the materials used for the preparation, or whether clips or ligatures were applied. Lymphoceles may originate either from the lymphatic system of the recipient or the transplanted kidney. The most sensible measures to prevent their occurrence therefore seems to be to restrict the transplant bed to the smallest permissible level with careful ligature of the lymphatic vessels in the area of the kidney hilus.Treatment for lymphoceles should start with minimally invasive measures. W...

    The study aimed to report our experience with retropubic radical prostatectomy (RRP) for treatment of localized prostate cancer in renal transplant recipients (RTR). Data of 16 RTR who had an RRP between 2001 and 2007 were retrospectively analysed and compared to the data of 294 non-transplanted patients who were operated for RRP during the same period. Diagnostic work-up consisted of digital rectal examination, serum prostate specific antigene levels, as well as Transrectal Ultrasonography (TRUS)-guided prostate biopsy. Follow-up was obtained in all patients with a mean follow-up time of 2.1 years in RTR. Mean time distance to the renal transplantation at the time of RRP was 81.2 ± 19.1 months. RRP was successfully performed and tolerated in all RTR without pelvic lymph node dissection. No major complications occurred during or after the operation. There were two minor complications in transplant group (prolonged haematuria and urinary leakage). Mean operative time was 108.3 ± 3.9 ...

    Laparoskopische Techniken haben für Dialyse- und nierentransplantierte Patienten nicht nur eine zunehmende Bedeutung erlangt; sie stellen für viele Eingriffe die operative Therapie der Wahl dar. Da die Patienten nahezu ausnahmslos ein höheres Nebenerkrankungsprofil und Operationsrisiko aufweisen, profitieren sie insbesondere von den klassischen Vorzügen minimalinvasiver Techniken wie reduzierte Morbidität und schnelle Rekonvaleszenz. In Zentren mit ausgewiesener Expertise hat die laparoskopische Donornephrektomie die offene Lebendspende als Standardverfahren abgelöst. Laparoscopic techniques have not only become increasingly more important for patients on dialysis or after kidney transplantation, they also represent the operative standard procedures as almost all patients additionally suffer from concomitant diseases and do carry a higher operative risk. Therefore, these patients will derive special benefits from minimally invasive procedures offering lower morbidity and quick recov...

    A simple experimental approach was developed to determine the adhesion rate of particles onto massive substrate. Turbidimetry measurements are used to follow the evolution of particle concentration in a suspension in dynamic contact with the walls of a vessel made of different materials. This method allows to rapidly obtain qualitative results about the adhesion of metallic oxides particles on massive
