VURD Syndrome Managed by Pyelostomy by Charles J. Rosser, Sam Auringer, R. L. Kroovand

“…Severe tortuosity and dilation of the upper urinary tracts in the presence of progression of hydronephrosis or a persistently elevated creatinine may favor a proximal urinary diversion rather than primary valve ablation or cutaneous vesicostomy. Because of a persistently elevated serum creatinine, a nonfunctioning kidney with grade 4/5 vesicoureteral reflux and worsening contralateral hydronephrosis despite lower tract drainage, a left cutaneous pyelostomy was performed, contralateral to the kidney involved with VURD. …”

Role of PPARα in the Control of Torpor through FGF21-NPY Pathway: From Circadian Clock to Seasonal Change in Mammals by Norio Ishida

“…Torpor is a state of decreased physiological activity in an animal, usually characterized by a reduced body temperature and rate of metabolism to adapt such a severe environment. Ablation of the central clock synchronizer, the suprachiasmatic nucleus in brain, abolishes torpor, a hibernation-like state, implicating the circadian clock involved in this seasonal change. …”
