Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN) is a syndrome of the kidney that is characterized by a rapid loss of kidney function, [4] [5] (usually a 50% decline in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) within 3 months) [5] with glomerular crescent formation seen in at least 50% [5] or 75% [4] of glomeruli seen on kidney biopsies.
The tympanic canaliculus (also Jacobson's canaliculus, tympanic canal, inferior tympanic canaliculus, or temporal canaliculus) is a minute canal in the bony ridge that separates the carotid canal and jugular foramen.
