This study's conclusion is to evaluate clotting factor i.e. factor V leiden, Factor VIII, and prothrombin prior to giving Testosterone.  This small study found increased clotting in some men on Testosterone. The problem here is the dosing of Testosterone in these men was 50-160 mg.  Physiologic dosing is 5-10 mg.  The problem is doping.  One wonders if physiologic dosing was undertaken if any of the men in this study would develop clotting problems, even though they had undiagnosed hypercoagulabitliy.

Vitamin B12 deficiency will decrease methionine synthase activity, which will result in elevated homocysteine and the risk of DVT increases as a result.  In this article, the cause of the vitamin B12 depletion was metformin.  Diabetics and those with insulin resistance are already at an increased risk of blood clots.

Study finds that higher omega 3 intake over time associated with a reduction in blood clots, heart arrhythmias, lower triglycerides, lower heart rates and lower blood pressure.

LR vs NS crystalloid.

Testosterone is great when needed, not doped; but Testosterone is not without risks.  Population case-control study finds increased blood clot risk in first 6 months of Testosterone therapy.  To many variables left unanswered by this study.  

transdermal estradiol does not increase blood clot risk, when compared with oral estradiol

Chronic stress increases cardiovascular disease.  Of note, chronic stress reduces eNOS activity and NO bioavailability, increased lipid oxidation (oxLDL) via a reduction in antioxidant protection, increased pro-inflammatory cytokines, increased thrombosis and clotting risk, increased blood pressure and reduced HRV.

As a neurosurgeon, Dr. Paresh Doshi has performed many lifesaving surgeries to remove brain tumors and blood clots. Recently he has performed a unique deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgical treatment using a complicated auto-sensing device (percept computer) for controlling the signs and symptoms of Parkinson's disease of a forty two-years-old patient, a scientist from Ahmedabad.

young children have a different set of needs than adults. Aesthetically, devices designed for kids are often sleek and colorful, and functionally, they are typically lightweight and adjustable. As any parent knows, young people don't stay the same size for long and since a wheelchair is a major purchase -- don't want a simple growth spurt to render it useless. Wheelchair category offers models that feature seat width and depth adjustability, elevating legrests, and other versatile features. As a weight-bearing activity is critical to proper physical and mental function-which is why children with cerebral palsy, who may sit for stretches in a wheelchair and typically are unable to stand on their own, can benefit greatly from pediatric standers as part of a comprehensive pediatric rehabilitation program. Pediatric standers are offered in passive, active and mobile formats: Passive standers stay in one place and feature a support surface, active standers allow reciprocal movement of the extremities while in a standing position, and mobile standers enable users to self-propel.

New cohort study finds increased risk of Testosterone in men > 65 and those : these are based in marketing-based medicine not evidence based medicine.

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of conditions caused by medical abnormalities in the development of a fetus or the early life of a child. These lead to damage or delayed development in the brain. The disorder is permanent and, though it does not worsen with age, the level of functionality of a person with cerebral palsy varies widely: in some cases, effects may be very minor, while in others, movement is impaired to the extent that a wheelchair is required. Common complications associated with CP vary by the type of CP disorder but can include vision problems, seizures, learning disabilities, and issues speaking, writing, and performing other tasks. Cerebral palsy causes problems with muscle tone, movement, balance and/or coordination. Symptoms and effects range from mild to severe. In some infants, problems are evident soon after birth. In others, diagnosis comes in later infancy or toddlerhood. Cerebral Palsy Wheelchair Description: The model designed for cerebral palsy child only. Ultra light weight aluminium alloy frame.
