TL;DR: The case of a 48-year-old male with a nephrotic syndrome found to be resistant to corticosteroids, immunosuppression and plasmaphaeresis is described, which is the first report of a long-standing remission of an FSPF-associated nephrotsic syndrome on oral galactose therapy.
Abstract: Some cases of nephrotic syndrome in focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) are associated with a circulating factor, the FSGS permeability factor (FSPF). Galactose has a high affinity for FSPF, and experimental data suggest that it could reduce its activity. We describe the case of a 48-year-old male with a nephrotic syndrome found to be resistant to corticosteroids, immunosuppression and plasmaphaeresis. The patient was given oral galactose as a last resort treatment, which was followed by a remission of his nephrotic syndrome that correlated with a reduction of FSPF activity. This case is the first report of a long-standing remission of an FSPF-associated nephrotic syndrome on oral galactose therapy.
TL;DR: In this article, a method and system for in-order delivery of frames in fiber channel communication networks during topology change is provided, where a new path is determined to replace the old path only after the lapse of a holddown period.
Abstract: A method and system is provided for in-order delivery of frames in Fiber Channel communication networks during topology change. When a topology change has rendered an old path between two switches or end devices infeasible, a new path is determined to replace the old path. To ensure in-order delivery of frames, the new path is activated only after the lapse of a hold-down period. The hold-down period may be calculated as the maximum time required for frames within the old path immediately prior to the topology change to reach the destination switch or device. The calculation may utilize information available from the Fiber Channel shortest path first (FSPF) protocol.
