Is it possible to have only hens in a coop?

Yes. We use our chickens for eggs, but not for breeding. We keep just hens. For the first year we had roosters. They were beautiful, but they would pull feathers from the hens, chased the kids, scratched our legs, and would crow first thing in the morning. We gave them away to a friend that wanted them. It has been a few years now rooster free and we haven't had any adverse effects from their absence. The hen's feathers grew back quickly, we don't have to worry about being spurred when collecting eggs, and we can sleep in on Saturdays.

How does imipramine work in kidney related problems?

Imipramine has been used for a number of years for thr treatment of bedwetting in patients over the age of 6, though the primary indication is for use as an antidepressant. It is generally used after possible organic causes have been ruled out. The precise mechanism of action of imipramine is not definitely known. It may affect the muscles of the bladder, or it may have some effect on the hormone that causes the kidneys to release urine antidiuretic hormone (ADH), or it may work by causing the child to sleep more lightly. The mode of action of the drug in controlling childhood enuresis is thought to be apart from its antidepressant effect.

How can a kidney be removed without cutting through parietal peritoneum?

Kidneys are said to be located in a retro-(behind) peritoneal position so removing them doesn't affect the parietal peritoneum.
The retroperitoneal space is the part of the abdominal cavity that lies behind the peritoneum. Inside the retroperitoneal space, there are the kidneys, adrenal glands, bladder, and ureters. The aorta and inferior vena cava vessels are located within the space as well as part of the esophagus and rectum. These are called the primary retroperitoneal organs, meaning they typically form during gestation behind the peritoneum and remain there throughout development. All of the organs in the space typically feature some peritoneum tissue attached to their front, or anterior side, although no anatomical structures are generally a part of this space.

Are exophytic lesions on kidneys cancerous?

Exactly what is an exophytic renal cyst? It is a cyst that grows from the inside-out from the organ in question, where there is a multiplying of these cysts within the kidney, which also leads to a build up of fluid. There are two kinds of cysts that can occur, one being a simple renal cyst, which is filled with liquid - with cysts with a thin wall lining itself with no problems from the first glance. The cyst only contains fluid upon observation, which is seen as either clear or yellow in color after it's been removed. It doesn't pose as a risk for future kidney cancer, so patients can breathe a sigh of relief knowing this detail.

The second kind of kidney cyst that comes into the picture is a complex renal cyst which is the opposite of the previous kind, in that the cyst is irregular when the lining is observed along with its shape as well. The features of the cysts vary depending on the type it is, for example, if it is a cyst that has fine walls or those that are coarse and thick, it would mean that it is malignant in nature, thus posing as a risk for developing into kidney cancer.

Do the kidneys transport?

The kidneys do not transport substances in the way that blood vessels or the circulatory system do. Instead, they filter blood to remove waste products and excess substances, which are then excreted as urine. The kidneys also help regulate electrolyte balance, blood pressure, and fluid levels in the body. While they play a crucial role in processing and managing various substances, the actual transport occurs through the bloodstream and urinary tract.
