Introduction Deep Learning has been proposed as promising tool to classify malignant
nodules. Our aim was to retrospectively validate our Lung Cancer Prediction Convolutional …

BACKGROUND:: Disease monitoring of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD)
will become more important with potential upcoming therapeutic interventions. …

Background and objectives: The Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) study equation
and the Cockcroft-Gault (CG) equation perform poorly in the (near-) normal range of GFR. …

Renal functional reserve could be relevant for the maintenance of renal function after kidney
donation. Low-dose dopamine induces renal vasodilation with a rise in glomerular filtration …

Lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and cardiovascular disease are highly
prevalent in the general population and expected to cause most deaths by 2050. For these “…

Lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and coronary artery disease (CAD)
are expected to cause most deaths by 2050. State-of-the-art computed tomography (CT…

Objective: To evaluate the influence of nodule margin on inter- and intrareader variability in
manual diameter measurements and semi-automatic volume measurements of solid nodules …

Background and objectives: Potential therapeutic interventions are being developed for
autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). A pivotal question will be when to …

Background. In man, differences in angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) levels, related to
ACE (I/D) genotype, are associated with renal prognosis. This raises the hypothesis that …

Background. Living kidney donor selection has become more liberal with acceptation of
hypertensive donors. Here, we evaluate short-term and 1-and 5-year renal outcome of living …
