A hydrosalpinx is a blocked fallopian tube that is filled with fluid due to injury or infection. Also referred to as distal tubal occlusion. Injury to the end of the fallopian tube causes the end of the tube to close. Glands within the tube produce a watery fluid that collects within the tube, producing a sausage shaped swelling that is characteristic of hydrosalpinx. making it impossible for them to function. If both tubes are distended, they are called hydrosalpinges. Hydrosalpinx is a result of injury to the tube, usually from an infection, the most common cause is pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), and other causes of distal tubal occlusion include adhesion formation from surgery, endometriosis, tubal ligation, and tubal malignancy. Frequently,

Water is a medium for metabolic reactions and an important constituent of cells. In most plants and animals, it makes up about 65-95% of their mass. The water molecule is referred to as a dipole, a polar molecule, with a positive (hydrogen) and negative (oxygen) charge, separated by a very small distance. A molecule with a separated charge is polar. A hydrogen bond; the weak attractive force between a hydrogen atom with a partial positive (o+) charge and an atom with a partial negative charge (o-) oxygen can be formed between two atoms. Hydrogen bonds are weak, however in large quantities, like the large number present in water it makes the molecules difficult to separate and gives water a wide range of physical properties vital to life.

There is a never ending search for an effective source of energy that is both efficient and the safest option to use. Scientists located in japan may have found a solution to this dilemma as they were recently able to locate methane clathrate, more commonly known as fire ice. Despite the name existing as an oxymoron, many believe this hydrate could prove to be the savior for the earth’s fuel problems. However, given current research this supposedly useful source of natural gas could prove even more detrimental towards the environment than carbon dioxide.

Paracentesis is a procedure used to remove excess fluid from the belly (abdomen). Excess fluid in the belly is called ascites.
