Do repeated runs of a cell saver device increase the pro-inflammatory properties of washed blood?
Our results suggest, based on interleukin-6 and free hemoglobin washout that the quality of the processed blood remains constant with multiple runs of the cell saver device.
The present study demonstrates a positive relationship between adequacy of testosterone replacement and BMD in men with overt organic AD. Additionally, the BMD of well-treated AD men approximates that of age-matched non-AD controls. The greatest BMD gains are made by those who have been either untreated or partially treated, and optimal treatment over time (median 3 years) normalizes BMD to the level expected for healthy men of the same age.
