The urinary system consists of paired kidneys, ureters, a urinary bladder, and a urethra. The kidneys filter waste from the blood to produce urine. The ureters carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder. When full, the bladder contracts to expel urine through the urethra. Common urinary disorders include infections, kidney diseases, stones, and failures of the system. Acute and chronic renal failures occur when the kidneys suddenly or progressively lose their ability to filter waste from the blood.
this will help you to get a very brief idea regarding the voiding disorders like retention and incontinence of urine.
and it also helps you to review the various congenital anomalies of kidney and Urinary Tract.

Urolithiasis is a common disease that is estimated to
produce medical costs of $2.1 billion per year in the United States alone.
Renal colic affects approximately 1.2 million people
each year in USA and accounts for approximately 1% of
all hospital admissions.
Most active emergency departments (EDs) manage
patients with acute renal colic every day.

Acute kidney failure happens when your kidneys suddenly lose the ability to eliminate excess salts, fluids, and waste materials from the blood. Acute kidney failure is also called acute kidney injury or acute renal failure. It's common in people who are already in the hospital. It may develop rapidly over a few hours.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) means your kidneys are damaged and can't filter blood the way they should. The disease is called “chronic” because the damage to your kidneys happens slowly over a long period of time.
Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.
Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvementIshaGoswami9
As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate
change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional
genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding
the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can
be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus,
high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes
during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology,
and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.

Seminar of U.V. Spectroscopy by SAMIR PANDASAMIR PANDA
Spectroscopy is a branch of science dealing the study of interaction of electromagnetic radiation with matter.
Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy refers to absorption spectroscopy or reflect spectroscopy in the UV-VIS spectral region.
Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy is an analytical method that can measure the amount of light received by the analyte.
hematic appreciation test is a psychological assessment tool used to measure an individual's appreciation and understanding of specific themes or topics. This test helps to evaluate an individual's ability to connect different ideas and concepts within a given theme, as well as their overall comprehension and interpretation skills. The results of the test can provide valuable insights into an individual's cognitive abilities, creativity, and critical thinking skills
The ability to recreate computational results with minimal effort and actionable metrics provides a solid foundation for scientific research and software development. When people can replicate an analysis at the touch of a button using open-source software, open data, and methods to assess and compare proposals, it significantly eases verification of results, engagement with a diverse range of contributors, and progress. However, we have yet to fully achieve this; there are still many sociotechnical frictions.
Inspired by David Donoho's vision, this talk aims to revisit the three crucial pillars of frictionless reproducibility (data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges) with the perspective of deep software variability.
Our observation is that multiple layers — hardware, operating systems, third-party libraries, software versions, input data, compile-time options, and parameters — are subject to variability that exacerbates frictions but is also essential for achieving robust, generalizable results and fostering innovation. I will first review the literature, providing evidence of how the complex variability interactions across these layers affect qualitative and quantitative software properties, thereby complicating the reproduction and replication of scientific studies in various fields.
I will then present some software engineering and AI techniques that can support the strategic exploration of variability spaces. These include the use of abstractions and models (e.g., feature models), sampling strategies (e.g., uniform, random), cost-effective measurements (e.g., incremental build of software configurations), and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., transfer learning, feature selection, software debloating).
I will finally argue that deep variability is both the problem and solution of frictionless reproducibility, calling the software science community to develop new methods and tools to manage variability and foster reproducibility in software systems.

10. Ureter
The ureters arise from the
pelvis of each kidney
The ureters are tubes made of
smooth muscle fibers that
propel urine from the kidneys
to the urinary bladder
In the adult, the ureters are
usually 25–30 cm (10–12 in)
long and ~3–4 mm in diameter.
11.
12. urinary bladder
The urinary bladder is a hollow
muscular organ that collects
urine from the kidneys before
disposal by urination
Urine is made in the kidneys,
and travels down two tubes
called ureters to the bladder
The normal capacity of the
bladder is 400 to 600 mL
13. During urination, the
bladder muscles contract,
and two sphincters (valves)
open to allow urine to flow
out.
Urine exits the bladder into
the urethra, which carries
urine out of the body.
14. Its size shape and location vary
with the amount of urine it
contains
FILLED BLADDER
12.5cm long
EMPTY BLADDER
5 _7.5cm long
15. Urethra
It is a duct begins at the
neck of bladder and ends by
opening to outside
The urethra is the
passageway between the
bladder and the external
part of the body, which
allows urine to be excreted
from the body.

Heavy use of nonsteroidal anti-
inflammatory drugs, such
as ibuprofen and naproxen
38. Amyloidosis, which occurs
when abnormal proteins
(that can cause harm) build
up in your organs and
tissues
It may be due to problems
with immune system
overreacting to the
infection.

your urine.
combination of proteinuria with
a low serum albumin level and
edema.
46. Causes
Nephrotic syndrome is
usually caused by
damage to the clusters of
small blood vessels in
kidneys that filter waste
and excess water from
your blood.
47. Many possible causes
Many diseases and
conditions can cause
glomerular damage and
lead to nephrotic
syndrome, including
48. Minimal change disease.
The most common cause of
nephrotic syndrome in children
this disorder results in abnormal
kidney function, but when the
kidney tissue is examined under a
microscope, it appears normal or
nearly normal
The cause of the abnormal function
typically can't be determined.
50. Membranous
nephropathy.
This kidney disorder is the result of
thickening membranes within the
glomeruli
The exact cause of the thickening
isn't known, but it's sometimes
associated with other medical
conditions, such as hepatitis B,
malaria and cancer.
51. Diabetic kidney disease.
Diabetes can lead to kidney damage
(diabetic nephropathy) that affects
the glomeruli.
Amyloidosis.
This disorder occurs when
substances called amyloid proteins
accumulate in your organs ,often
affects the kidneys, damaging their
filtering system.
52. Blood clot in a kidney vein.
Renal vein thrombosis, which
occurs when a blood clot
blocks a vein connected to the
kidney, can cause nephrotic
syndrome.
Heart failure
Some forms of heart failure,
such as severe right heart
failure, can cause nephrotic
syndrome.
53. Other Signs and
Symptoms
Puffiness around the eyes
characteristically in the morning.

crystals
Originate in renal pelvis
Form when an excess of
insoluble salts or uric acid
crystallizes in the urine
56. Calcium stones
Most common
May have a hereditary component
made of calcium oxalate (most
common), phosphate, or maleate.
Eating fewer oxalate-rich foods can
reduce your risk of developing this
type of stone.
High-oxalate foods include potato
chips, peanuts, chocolate, beets,
and spinach.
57. Uric acid stones
More common in women
They can occur in people with gout
or those going through
chemotherapy.
when urine is too acidic.
A diet rich in purines can increase
urine’s acidic level.
Purine is a colorless substance in
animal proteins, such as fish,
shellfish, and meats.
58. Struvite stones
mostly in women with urinary
tract infections.
large and cause urinary
obstruction.
caused by a kidney infection
Treating an underlying infection
can prevent the development of
struvite stones
59. Cystine stones
rare
occur in both men and women
who have the genetic disorder
cystinuria.
With this type of stone, cystine
— an acid that occurs naturally
in the body — leaks from the
kidneys into the urine.
60. Risk factors
occur b/w ages of 20-40
dehydration
obesity
high-protein, salt, or glucose diet
hyperparathyroid condition
inflammatory bowel diseases that
increase calcium absorption

bacteria, blood, and white cells
examination of passed stones to
determine type
USG KUB, XRAY, CT
63.
64. b)Hydronephrosis
There is accumulation of fluid in
Renal calyces, pelvis, and renal
sinus.
Symptoms:
pain in the abdomen or flank
nausea
vomiting
pain when urinating
Incomplete voiding
a fever
65. Causes
acute unilateral obstructive
uropathy. This is a sudden
development of an obstruction in
one of your ureters.
most common cause for this
blockage is a kidney stone, but
scarring and blood clots can also
cause acute unilateral obstructive
uropathy.
A blocked ureter can cause urine to
go back up into the kidney, which
causes swelling(vesicoureteric
reflux (VUR).
66. Causes:
Ureteropelvic Junction obstruction
an enlarged prostate gland in men,
which can be due to BPH
or prostatitis
pregnancy, which causes a
compression due to a growing fetus
tumors in or near the ureter
a narrowing of the ureter from an
injury or birth defect

68.
69. A)Polycystic Kidneys
Disease (PKD):
It is disorder in which clusters of
cysts develops primarily within
kidneys
Cysts are noncancerous round sacs
containing water-like fluid
Risk Factors:
cause cysts to develop in your liver
and elsewhere
High blood pressure
Kidney failure
70. Symptoms:
High blood pressure
Back or side pain
Headache
A feeling of fullness in your
abdomen
Increased size of your abdomen due
to enlarged kidneys
Blood in your urine
Kidney stones
Kidney failure
Urinary tract or kidney infections
74. A)ACUTE RENAL
FAILURE/ SHUTDOWN:
In acute renal failure
kidneys suddenly stop
working.
Kidney failure occurs when
your kidneys lose the ability to
filter waste from your blood
sufficiently
75. factors interfere with your
kidney
toxic exposure to
environmental pollutants or
certain medications
certain acute and chronic
diseases
severe dehydration
kidney trauma
76. Symptoms
Sometimes none are present
A reduced amount of urine
swelling of your legs, ankles, and feet
from retention of fluids caused by the
failure of your kidneys to eliminate water
waste
unexplained shortness of breath
excessive drowsiness or fatigue
persistent nausea
confusion
seizures
coma
77. Causes
Loss of blood flow to the kidneys
A sudden loss of blood flow to your
kidneys can prompt kidney failure. Some
diseases and conditions that cause loss
of blood flow to the kidneys include:
a heart attack
heart disease
scarring of the liver or liver failure
dehydration
a severe burn
an allergic reaction
a severe infection, such as sepsis
78. EFFECTS OF ACUTE
RENAL FAILURE
Salt and water retention
Hypertension
Edema
UraemiA
Acidosis
80. Chronic prerenal kidney
failure
When there isn’t enough
blood flowing to the
kidneys for an extended
period of time, the
kidneys begin to shrink
and lose the ability to
function.
81. Chronic intrinsic kidney
failure
This happens when there is
long-term damage to the
kidneys due to intrinsic kidney
disease. Intrinsic kidney
disease is caused by a direct
trauma to the kidneys, such as
severe bleeding or a lack of
oxygen.
82. Chronic post-renal kidney
failure
A long-term blockage
of the urinary tract
prevents urination.
This causes pressure
and eventual kidney
damage.
83. Diagnosis
Urinalysis
Urine volume measurements
Blood samples
Imaging
Tests such as ultrasounds,
MRIs, and CT scans provide
images of the kidneys
themselves, along with the
urinary tract.
