...by (14)C-cholesterol efflux and the ability of HDL in inhibiting LDL oxidation. Coronary artery was evaluated with coronary computed tomography angiography. RESULTS: Cholesterol efflux was lower in AASU compared with AASNU and SC (20 vs. 23 vs. 24%, respectively, p<0.001). However, the lag...

thanks for that very beneficial read

...mg). Measures Before and immediately after immobilization, quadriceps muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) (by means of single-slice computed tomography (CT) scans of the upper leg) and one-legged knee extension strength (one-repetition maximum [1-RM]) were assessed for both legs. Furthermore...

So here are two reports that lower HDL is "pro-atherogenic". This has been stated for many years. So why do the new [2018] guidelines for Cholesterol Treatment completely omit consideration for HDL? These guidelines target LDL to be < 70 mg/dL. Docs are saying they are not to bother looking...

...unlikely to be linear. Furthermore, the relationship is influenced by the techniques used to assess nutritional endpoints [e.g. computed tomography (CT)]; the nature of the chosen physical function outcome measures; and the sex and severity of the recruited cachectic patients. Such factors...

...solution in a body builder is presented. Chest roentography at the time of presentation showed diffuse bilateral opacities, and computed tomography revealed predominantly peripheral ground-glass opacifications. The patient’s symptoms gradually improved over 48 h and imaging of the chest was...

The fella aspirated but did NOT follow medical protocol and suffered the consequencs of a Fat Embolism. The point aspiration is important bc it provides a reliable means of ensuring the needle has not violated a LARGE VEIN. And if this B.B. pinned his glutes after a leg wo when vein caliber is...

...enanthate every 2 weeks following female-to-male gender identity disorder (GID) diagnosis at 20 years of age. Ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging showed 11 hepatic nodular tumors with a maximum diameter of 28 mm. Liver tumors with hepatocellular adenoma (HCA)...

...A and B). The level of creatine kinase was 18,100 U per liter, and the white-cell count was 20.6×103 per cubic millimeter. Computed tomography revealed a large abscess containing gas in the medial left upper arm (Panels C and D). The abscess was incised and drained, after which extensive...

...retrospective study included 506 men who presented to the emergency department following trauma and underwent chest-abdominal computed tomography. Also included were 45 patients undergoing hemodialysis and 50 patients with cirrhosis who underwent chest computed tomography. The incidence and...

...for a blood pressure of 140/72 mmHg and pulse rate of 94 bpm. Acute coronary syndrome was excluded by electrocardiography. A computed tomography (CT) scan of the chest and abdomen with contrast demonstrated aneurysmal dilation of the entire length of descending thoracic and abdominal aorta...

...KS who was taking testosterone. The dose was increased to boost the energy levels, and the patient presented with abdominal pain. Computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen showed extensive portal vein thrombosis. He was started on enoxaparin followed by apixaban. Studies need to be done...

...obviously were decreased, including luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), with elevated testosterone. Computed tomography revealed no adrenal gland tumor, but a significant calcification in the right scrotal content was observed. He received a right radical...

So a 33 year old, with an 10 year hx of PED use develops a "triple A"; CONCLUSION "PEDs were the most likely etiology of his condition". Sorry but far to much information is MIA to formulate such an evidence based conclusion. Anecdotal cause and effect relationships such as these are best...

...use. The patient presented with a sudden mid-epigastric pain and vomiting. Hemoglobin levels decreased a few hours later and a computed tomography scan was performed which revealed a rupture of the right liver capsule and hemoperitoneum. Two attempts at transarterial embolization did not...

...Prostate Cancer Prostatic Dis 2017. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41391-017-0007-8 BACKGROUND: Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) has recently emerged as a promising diagnostic imaging platform for prostate cancer. Several radiolabelled tracers have demonstrated...

...hypogonadism who had repeatedly exhibited reduction in renal function following administration of testosterone. We used a novel computed tomography (CT) perfusion imaging technique. This was combined with a state-of-the-art 256-slice CT scanner, to provide whole organ coverage without the...

...over 25 years (from March 1985-June 1986 through June 2010-May 2011). The presence of CAC (CAC>0) at year 25 was measured using computed tomography. Group-based trajectory modeling was used to identify PA trajectories with increasing age. Results - We identified 3 distinct PA trajectories...

That study literally blows my mind. How can that be??

...86 men reporting >/=2 years of cumulative lifetime AAS use and 54 nonusing men. Using transthoracic echocardiography and coronary computed tomography angiography, we assessed 3 primary outcome measures: left ventricular (LV) systolic function (left ventricular ejection fraction), LV diastolic...

[OA] Management Of Screwdriver-Induced Penetrating Brain Injury BACKGROUND: Penetrating brain injury (PBI) can be caused by several objects ranging from knives to chopsticks. However, an assault with long and electric screwdriver is a peculiar accident and is relatively rare. Because of its...
