	Neoplasia of the Nervous System
		In dogs, tumors of the nervous system occur with a frequency and a variety similar to that in people, whereas in cats, tumors are relatively less common, with the majority being meningiomas and lymphomas.
		The incidence of central nervous system (CNS) neoplasia in dogs is perhaps 1% to 3% of all canine necropsies [2-4].
		In general, tumors of the nervous system are more common in mature and older animals, although there are sporadic reports of brain tumors in animals less than a year of age [8].

		They are protected by three layers of connective tissue: the renal fascia (fibrous membrane) surrounds the kidney and binds the organ to the abdominal wall; the adipose capsule (layer of fat) cushions the kidney; and the renal capsule (fibrous sac) surrounds the kidney and protects it from trauma and infection.
		The renal artery enters the kidney and the renal vein emerges from the kidney at an indentation in the middle of the organ called the hilum.
		Urine formation occurs in the renal tubules, which travel from the outer tissue of the kidney (called the cortex), to the inner tissue (called the medulla), and return to the cortex.

	Human Physiology - The renal system - Wikibooks
		The most important organs in the renal system are the kidneys.
		The renal system also encompasses the ureters, urinary bladder, ureter, but these are not nearly as important and sophisticated in structure and function as the kidneys are.
		It is the initial hormone of what is called the renin-angiotensin system, which is important in the response to low blood pressure and serum sodium levels.

	Your Urinary System and How It Works (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The urinary system works with the lungs, skin, and intestines—all of which also excrete wastes—to keep the chemicals and water in your body balanced.
		Renal (kidney) failure results when the kidneys are not able to regulate water and chemicals in the body or remove waste products from your blood.
		Acute renal failure (ARF) is the sudden onset of kidney failure.

		The efferent capillary is a portal system leading to the peritubular capillary, which then leads to the interlobular vein, or (in nephrons near the medulla), to the vasa recta leading into, and back from, the medulla, and then to the vein.
		Pressure in renal vessels is about 45 mm Hg in glomerular capillaries, 18 mm Hg in efferent artery, and 4-6 mm Hg in peritubular capillary.

		The operation is indicated in any RAA of greater than 2 cm diameter, in all patients with hypertension and renal artery stenosis, and also for smaller aneurysms in patients in good general health and in women of child bearing age.
		In health this system is elastic and there is little impediment to the flow of blood through it.
		The pressure in a normal system is about 120 mm of mercury at maximum, when the blood is first injected, and falls to about 60 mm of mercury when it is collapsed, just before receiving another load (thus the notation of blood pressure as "120/60").

		There is some indication that, compared to methyl compounds, the illness produced by ethylmercuric compounds involves relatively greater injury to the GI system (aphthous stomatitis, catarrahal gingivitis, nausea, liquid stool, pain, and laboratory evidence of liver disorder) and the cardiovascular and hematopoietic systems and less disorder of sensation and coordination.
		However, the acute symptoms assoc with irritation of the GI system and renal failure caused by inorganic mercury compounds are seldom observed in poisoning by alkyl mercury compounds and then almost exclusively in acute poisoning.

		Using an EDI interface between your Pathology and Renal systems significantly reduces delivery time of results and the possibility of transcription errors, and has the added benefit of freeing up valuable staff time that was previously spent re-keying results into the Renal system.
		Even if the Renal system used by your hospital is installed in a different hospital to the Pathology system, RealLinks(Renal) can still be set up to provide an interface between the two.
		For example, RealLinks(Renal) is already being used to interface two installations of the EDS SWiftLab system in two different Trusts which share an installation of the PROTON system running at one of the Trusts, which receives frequent updates from the second system using an FTP process to transmit data via NHSnet.
