    Progesterone causes many changes to the genitourinary system. A pregnant woman may experience an increase in the size of the kidneys and ureter due to the increase blood volume and vasculature. Later in pregnancy, the woman might develop physiological hydronephrosis and hydroureter, which are normal. [33]

    A well known agonist are fibrates and in the clinical trials, there was a significant biochemical response in most patients. [129] A combination therapy with bezafibrate showed remarkable biochemical improvement, with 67% of patients normalizing their alkaline phosphatase levels. [130]

  5. Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    It is sometimes called remission spectroscopy. Remission is the reflection or back-scattering of light by a material, while transmission is the passage of light through a material. The word remission implies a direction of scatter, independent of the scattering process. Remission includes both specular and diffusely back-scattered light.

    When fetal kidneys begin to function around week 16, fetal urine also contributes to the fluid. [1] In earlier times, it was believed that the amniotic fluid was composed entirely of excreted fetal urine. The fluid is absorbed through the fetal tissue and skin. [2] After 22 to 25 week of pregnancy, keratinization of an embryo's

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decidualization

    Decidualization is a process that results in significant changes to cells of the endometrium in preparation for, and during, pregnancy. This includes morphological and functional changes (the decidual reaction) to endometrial stromal cells (ESCs), the presence of decidual white blood cells (leukocytes), and vascular changes to maternal arteries.

    In men with azoospermia, a positive test for inhibin B slightly raises the chances for successfully achieving pregnancy through testicular sperm extraction (TESE), although the association is not very substantial, having a sensitivity of 0.65 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.56–0.74) and a specificity of 0.83 (CI: 0.64–0.93) for prediction ...

    [1] [4] Miscarriage before 6 weeks of gestation is defined as biochemical loss by ESHRE. [13] [14] Once ultrasound or histological evidence shows that a pregnancy has existed, the term used is clinical miscarriage, which can be "early" (before 12 weeks) or "late" (between 12 and 21 weeks). [13]
