Is embolization for pediatric blunt splenic injury an alternative to splenectomy when observation fails?
Splenic artery embolization for blunt trauma in children is associated with a higher blood transfusion rate compared with observation but offers a safe, intermediate alternative to splenectomy when observation fails.
Testosterone administration was associated with dose-dependent increases in SMM, leg strength, and power but did not improve muscle fatigability or physical function. The observation that physical function scores did not improve linearly with strength suggests that these high-functioning older men were already in the asymptotic region of the curve describing the relationship between physical function and strength.
