Overview The urinary tract serves two distinct purposes. The primary function of the kidneys is to filter out extra water, salt, and waste. The second is to collect and excrete urine from the body. If the system becomes blocked, urine can accumulate, causing the kidneys to swell. This is hydronephrosis. When this impacts one kidney, it is called unilateral hydronephrosis; when both are affected, it’s called bilateral hydronephrosis. In most cases, only one kidney will be affected....

The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) announced June 26 that scientists could resume their work on the COPCOV trial. The trial, which is led by Oxford University’s Mahidol Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Unit, is a randomized, placebo-controlled trial that will enroll around 40,000 healthcare workers and other at-risk workers worldwide.

Types of Hypogonadism At its core, hypogonadism is defined by insufficient production of the female and male sex hormones, estrogen and testosterone, respectively. There are two types of hypogonadism: HH, or primary hypogonadism, and secondary, or central, hypogonadism. Primary hypogonadism is when the hormone deficiency is due to problems in the sex glands, or gonads—the female ovaries and male testes. This type can be congenital, the result of surgery or cancer treatments, or due to autoimmune diseases or other disorders....

Do you often come home feeling exhausted, wiped out, or overwhelmed? Do you feel like you have no time for yourself? Those are key indicators that your stress levels are fairly high.

Mental health issues can also be triggered or exacerbated by outside factors, like stress or relationship problems....

But Steve Jobs was singing a different tune. His 130-minute Macworld speech-north of Castro, he’s the most indefatigable podium hog in the hemisphere-followed his classic structure: begin with an upbeat progress report (in this case, a claim that half of the customers in his surprisingly successful Apple retail stores are “switchers” from Bill Gates’s evil empire), move to a variety of software announcements, then roll out the hardware, finishing with “one more thing”-usually a blockbuster computer rollout or an exotic digital device....

The 27-year-old joined the Yellow-Reds in the summer for £3.8 million from West Ham United has scored two goals in seven appearances. And the former Valencia midfielder has lifted the lid on why he left the London Stadium for Turkey, saying he came to win as many trophies as he can in five years with Igor Tudor’s side. “It is not so easy to win trophies while playing in Valencia because you have two opponents very tough like Real Madrid and Barcelona,” Feghouli told club website....

One obvious reason people trek is to see astonishingly beautiful scenery and unusual wildlife. But a major reason we trek is to reinvent ourselves, to shed some fear or another that has burdened us. I have met trekkers who are afraid of horses, precipices, swaying rope bridges, zippered tents or catching a horrible disease. Sleeping-bag manufacturers, take note: my informal research shows that many travelers harbor a secret fear of mummy-style bags....

But the coaches had contrasting opinions on whether the deserving side won. While Lajong coach Bobby Nongbet suggested that they were more determined for the three points, Aizawl boss Paulo Meneses termed Lajong’s victory ’lucky'. Nongbet opined, “I think Aizawl FC are a good team and they played well too, but I think we played well right from the first whistle and we were more determined. That is the reason we got three points today....

With absolutely no interest from the East Bengal supporters, The Red and Golds lined up without Chris Payne and Robin Singh, with the Aussie striker not even featuring on the bench.

“We got three points and a good scoreline. Our plan was a success today. We got it because we have good players. All the credit goes to our boys. I focused on the defence today.
