Duration of urination does not change with body size.
Many urological studies rely on models of animals, such as rats and pigs, but their relation to the human urinary system is poorly understood. Here, we elucidate the hydrodynamics of urination across five orders of magnitude in body mass. Using high-speed videography and flow-rate measurement obtained at Zoo Atlanta, we discover that all mammals above 3 kg in weight empty their bladders over ne...
متن کاملA lack of crowding? Body size does not decrease with density for two behavior-manipulating parasites.
For trophically transmitted parasites that manipulate the phenotype of their hosts, whether the parasites do or do not experience resource competition depends on such factors as the size of the parasites relative to their hosts, the intensity of infection, the extent to which parasites share the cost of defending against the host's immune system or manipulating their host, and the extent to whi...
متن کاملHippocampus size does not correlate with body mass index in bipolar disorder.
The hippocampus has been a focus of attention in neuroimaging studies of bipolar disorder (BD). This structure has been recognized as particularly vulnerable to the neurotoxic effects of obesity, and it is apparently subject to synergistic, deleterious action from obesity and mood disorders. Comorbid obesity is highly prevalent in people with BD. In addition, there is a robust body of evidence ...
متن کاملUnconstrained shoulder joint position sense does not change with body orientation.
Our knowledge of the role of muscle activation on proprioception is incomplete. Previous work has either focused on comparing active and passive motions or manipulated both muscle activation and joint angles simultaneously. We conducted an experiment at the shoulder in which subjects' trunks were tilted backwards to decouple joint angle from joint torque. Twenty three healthy subjects underwent...
متن کاملAqueous humor outflow facility by tonography does not change with body position.
PURPOSE Intraocular pressure (IOP) varies with body position and previous research has indicated that most, but not all, of the variation in IOP is due to changes in episcleral venous pressure (EVP). Positional changes in other aqueous humor dynamic parameters may contribute to the change in IOP. The purpose of this study was to investigate the variation of aqueous humor outflow facility with b...
