...and rehabilitation (12 weeks). Changes were documented by intraoperative measurements of muscle work capacity, histology, and computed tomography/magnetic resonance imaging. RESULTS: Musculotendinous relengthening by continuous traction resulted in gains of length ranging from 0.7 cm in...

Sorry, just cant help this one. I DONT THINK THEY SAID WHAT HE WAS BEING TREATED FOR IN THAT PRIMER...?! The only common reason for males would appear to be angioedema. So, is this some form of steroid that bridges the span between non-anabolic anti-inflamatory type AND mild anabolic as...

...arrest in a 59-year-old patient after sexual intercourse and Sildenafil ingestion. A coronary arteriography and an angiographic computed tomography scan subsequently revealed a LCA origin from the right aortic sinus along with an intramural course of the left main stem. In addition a distal...

...lung cancers or a reduction in lung cancer deaths. Renewed enthusiasm for lung screening arose with the advent of low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) imaging, which is able to identify smaller nodules than can chest radiographs. This systematic review focuses on the evidence regarding the...

...aortic calcification (TAC), abdominal aortic calcification (AAC), and coronary artery calcification (CAC) were measured by computed tomography scan. Covariables considered included age, body mass index (BMI), smoking, fasting lipids, and comorbid conditions. Estimates of association were...

This is a major issue. There are others. [At age 27, reading the TRT provided, I am wary you were not properly worked up for hypogonadism.] I have a very strong suspicion that the E2 level falls well below 15 pg/ml during the month. Khosla S. Update in Male Osteoporosis. Journal of...

...facial pain, and increase in PRL to 13,471 ng/ml. Visual field deterioration and increased tumor size (height, 40-43 mm) by computed tomography were documented. A relationship between T injection and exacerbation of the prolactinoma was not recognized until after a second T injection 3 months...

...2 liters of oxygen per minute through a nasal cannula. Chest radiography showed air in the pericardium (Panel A, arrow). Computed tomography of the chest confirmed the presence of a large pneumopericardium (Panel B, arrow) but no pneumothorax or pneumoperitoneum. Emergency pericardiocentesis...

...16.5 at baseline and 18-18.5 yr after 6 months of treatment. Bone density of the distal radius (left), assessed by quantitative computed tomography, increased from 52 to 83 mg/cm(3) (normal range, 120-160) and bone mineral density of the lumbar spine, assessed by dual-energy...

...administration (R2 = 0.088, P = 0.0077). Peak rebound GH concentrations were related positively to adiponectin and negatively to computed tomography-estimated abdominal visceral fat (AVF) (R2 = 0.182, P = 0.00049) after glucose ingestion. Deconvolution analysis showed that SHBG specifically...

...space. Posteroanterior and lateral chest radiographs showed elevation of the right hemidiaphragm (Panel B, asterisks). Computed tomography confirmed the intrathoracic position of the prosthesis within the pleural space (Panel C, arrows). The patient was taken to the operating room, where the...

...of cancer. Physical examination is normal. She read a recent study that found a benefit to screening for lung cancer with computed tomography and inquires whether you think screening is appropriate for her. What should you recommend? Silvestri GA. Screening for Lung Cancer: It Works...

...beliefs, patients are advised to undergo radiologic investigations such as ultrasound scanning, mammography, contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT scan), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to differentiate pseudogynecomastia from gynecomastia. Moreover, these patients are treated by...

Clinical Case Study Mediastinal Germ Cell Tumor This competition weightlifter was referred to an endocrinologist after a positive ß-human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) result on routine urine screening (B sample). He was asymptomatic and denied illicit drug use. Blood tests confirmed an...

...or discharge. A chest radiography showed anterior mediastinal mass with multiple lung nodules and masses (Picture 1). A computed tomography revealed a 9 cm anterior mediastinal mass, enlarged left breast glandular tissue, and multiple peripheral pulmonary nodules and masses (Picture 2). Blood...

...Mean body mass index was 27.3 ± 3.5 kg/m2. Main Outcome Measure: All the patients have been analyzed first either with sellar computed tomography scan or magnetic resonance imaging. All patients underwent neurological, ophthalmological, and baseline endocrine evaluation (appropriate...

...Training (AT/RT), with 155 subjects completing the intervention. The primary outcome variables were: visceral and liver fat via computed tomography, plasma liver enzymes, and HOMA. AT led to significant reductions in liver fat, visceral fat, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), HOMA and both total...

...or NASH: inflammation around the fat) to fibrosis/cirrhosis. Hepatic steatosis can be measured non-invasively using computed tomography (CT) whereas NASH/fibrosis is assessed histologically. The genetic underpinnings of NAFLD remain to be determined. Here we estimate that 26%–27% of the...

...injection sites. Design Retrospective study. Setting General hospital. Participants 100 consecutive adults who had computed tomography of the pelvis. Main outcome measures Minimum distance between the surface of the skin and the nearest edge of muscle at intramuscular injection...

...blood loss. Physical examination revealed stiffness in both ears, and calcification of the ears was subsequently revealed on computed tomography (Panel A, arrows) and radiography (Panel B, arrows). The patient's hemodynamic status improved promptly after administration of antibiotics and...

...acromio-clavicular joint to the postero-lateral and anterior deltoid. Lesions consistent with herpes labialis were also noted. A computed tomography scan demonstrated collections of both gas and fluid within the deltoid muscle and numerous pockets of gas within the soft tissues conforming to...

The objective of this study was to assess if acute cell phone exposure affected regional activity in the human brain. For this purpose researchers evaluated the effects in healthy participants (N = 47) of acute cell phone exposures on brain glucose metabolism, measured using PET with injection...

...Doc, in a University hospital, from March 2006 to December 2007. Mid-thigh muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) was measured by computed tomography and corrected by body weight (CSA/BW). Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) were measured. RESULTS...
