Using a modified split-droplet micropuncture technique there was an impairment of water reabsorption in the initial segment of the epididymis 2 weeks post vasectomy. This was supported by light-microscopy. The cause and a possible reversal of this impairment are not apparent. However, in men, low sperm counts post vasectomy reversal and eventually otherwise could be attributed not only to suppression of spermatogenesis in the testis but also to impairment of sperm concentration in the epididymis.

The Paradise Renal Denervation System: An FDA-approved catheter-based treatment option for resistant hypertension.
Cardiol Rev
October 2024
From the Department of Medicine, New York Medical College, Valhalla, NY.
Resistant hypertension is defined as office blood pressure >140/90 mm Hg with a mean 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure of >130/80 mm Hg in patients who are compliant with 3 or more antihypertensive medications. Those who persistently fail pharmaceutical therapy may benefit from interventional treatment, such as renal denervation. Sympathetic nervous activity in the kidney is a known contributor to increased blood pressure because it results in efferent and afferent arteriole vasoconstriction, reduced renal blood flow, increased sodium and water reabsorption, and the release of renin.

To get insight into the thawing and salting in recovery and protection mechanisms on quality in frozen meat after subsequent cooking. The myofiber morphological-water evolution and quality changes in beef during freezing-thawing-cooking and freezing-cooking treatments were investigated. The cooking losses of fresh-cooked, frozen-cooked, and frozen-thawed-cooked samples were 27.

During the transition from fresh waters to terrestrial habitats, significant adaptive changes occurred in kidney function of vertebrates to cope with varying osmotic challenges. We investigated the mechanisms driving water conservation in the mammalian nephron, focusing on the relative contributions of active ion transport and Starling forces. We constructed a thermodynamic model to estimate the entropy generation associated with different processes within the nephron, and analyzed their relative importance in urine formation.

To enhance the stability in textural attributes of frozen cooked rice, this study has found and proposed a new strategy: retaining the rice germ in milling process. Each rice germ is comparable to a native lipid-rich microcapsule attached to the endosperm part. In the gelatinization process, leached germ oil was reabsorbed in the outer layer of rice granule.
