Article Synopsis
- This study developed a new bladder model to better simulate the dynamic processes of filling and voiding, addressing limitations of previous models that were either too static or complex.
- The model's effectiveness was confirmed through pressure-flow tests and reflux tests, demonstrating how stents can cause vesicoureteral reflux (VUR).
- Results indicated that VUR significantly impacts the dynamics of the upper urinary tract with stents, especially in patients with severe bladder outlet obstruction, highlighting the need for future research to consider this factor.
Our nearest neighbor, Proxima Centauri, hosts a temperate terrestrial planet. We detected in radial velocities evidence of a possible second planet with minimum mass sin = 5.8 ± 1.

Studies of atmospheric escape from exoplanets have mostly relied on space-based observations of the hydrogen Lyman-α line in the far ultraviolet region, which is strongly affected by interstellar absorption. Using ground-based high-resolution spectroscopy, we detected excess absorption in the helium triplet at 1083 nanometers during the transit of the Saturn-mass exoplanet WASP-69b, at a signal-to-noise ratio of 18.

It has an effective temperature of only around 3,050 kelvin, a luminosity of 0.
