Membranous nephropathy (MN) is one of the commonest causes of nephrotic syndrome in adults, idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) accounts for 70%-80% of all MN patients. There is no standard specific treatment for IMN. Initial therapy should be supportive and involves restricting dietary protein

INTRODUCTION Despite advances in care, preeclampsia remains a leading cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality worldwide and its syndromic nature makes diagnosis and management difficult.1 Preeclampsia (PE) is a pregnancy-specific syndrome, defined by new onset hypertension and
Fluid resuscitation is a key determinant in the management of these parturients. Hypovolemia exacerbates organ failure, whereas volume overload results in pulmonary edema. In this setting, the use of noninvasive hemodynamic monitoring is associated with reduced mortality.

Lung cancer is the most common cancer, accounting for 20% of cancer-related deaths worldwide. In 2015, an estimated 610,200 patients (22 per cent of cancer-related deaths) died of lung cancer. Non-small cell lung cancer ((NSCLC)) accounts for 80% to 85% of lung cancer. Most patients are locally
Idiopathic nephrotic syndrome is defined as the development of proteinuria, edema, hypoalbuminemia, and hyperlipidemia often presenting in the pediatric population. The underlying pathogenesis of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome is poorly understood but likely involves dysregulation of the immune
The incidence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is high in China especially in southern China. Radiotherapy is the mainstay of therapy for NPC and greatly improves patient survival. Along with promising therapeutic effects, complications such as radiation dermatitis, temporal lobe necrosis,
Preeclampsia is a multisystem disorder that complicates 3-5% of pregnancies and remains a major cause of maternal, fetal, and neonatal morbidity and mortality.(1)

Idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (NS) is one of the most common chronic kidney diseases in children, with a prevalence of approximately 16 cases per 100,000 children. NS is characterized by heavy urinary losses of protein leading to hypoalbuminemia, edema, and hyperlipidemia. Children are treated with
Background of the Project including Preliminary Observations Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, including preeclampsia, complicate up to 10% of pregnancies worldwide, constituting one of the greatest causes of fetal growth restriction, preterm birth, low birth weight, perinatal mortality, and
