Adherence to preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is lower among high-risk populations, including youth experiencing homelessness (YEH). This study determined the feasibility of urine PrEP adherence biomarker testing and examined the barriers and facilitators to PrEP uptake and adherence among YEH. YEH were recruited from a randomized control trial conducted in a large urban setting in southern United States.

The excretory mechanisms of stenohaline marine osmoconforming crabs are often compared to those of the more extensively characterized euryhaline osmoregulating crabs. These comparisons may have limitations, given that unlike euryhaline brachyurans the gills of stenohaline marine osmoconformers possess ion-leaky paracellular pathways and lack the capacity to undergo ultrastructural changes that can promote ion-transport processes in dilute media. Furthermore, the antennal glands of stenohaline marine osmoconformers are poorly characterized making it difficult to determine what role urinary processes play in excretion.

Heat stress (HS) is a global issue that decreases farm profits and compromises animal welfare. To distinguish between the direct and indirect effects of HS, 16 multiparous Holstein cows approximately 100 DIM were assigned to one of 2 treatments: pair fed to match HS cow intake, housed in thermoneutral conditions (PFTN, n = 8) or cyclical HS (n = 8). All cows were subjected to 2 experimental periods.

Background & Aims: Cholemic nephropathy (CN) is a severe complication of cholestatic liver diseases for which there is no specific treatment. We revisited its pathophysiology with the aim of identifying novel therapeutic strategies.
Methods: Cholestasis was induced by bile duct ligation (BDL) in mice.

The renal glomerulus represents the major filtration body of the vertebrate nephron and is responsible for urine production and a number of other functions such as metabolic waste elimination and the regulation of water, electrolyte and acid-base balance. Podocytes are highly specialized epithelial cells that form a crucial part of the glomerular filtration barrier (GFB) by establishing a slit diaphragm for semipermeable plasma ultrafiltration. Defects of the GFB lead to proteinuria and impaired kidney function often resulting in end-stage renal failure.
