Measurement of salivary cortisol in 2012 - laboratory techniques and clinical indications - 0 views

  •  
    Review of data analyzing salivary cortisol finds saliva is a great medium, with sensitivity and specificity exceeding 90%, for evaluating the stress response.  So, where is the Louisiana State Board of Medicine, BCBS, and other insurance companies on this.  They are in favor of inferior testing and treatments ie.  hysterectomies for pelvic pain (50% success rate).   The great item here is this is not one study but an analysis of multiple studies. This is contrast to "opinions" that often govern the above mentioned organizations/businesses.

A Vitamin B-12 Supplement of 500 μg/d for Eight Weeks Does Not Normalize Urin... - 0 views

  •  
    current vitamin B12 recommendations are too low.  Proper vitamin B12 biomarker testing reveals this fact. The problem is most people fall prey to the lack of knowledge behind simple serum levels.  Simple B12 serum levels are woefully inadequate. Insurance would rather one stay with inadequate testing to save money, rather than actually read the science to learn about new testing.

Utility, Limitations, and Pitfalls in Measuring Testosterone: An Endocrine Society Posi... - 0 views

  •  
    This was a position statement from the Council of the Endocrine Society.  They looked at the reliability of free and total testosterone in serum and their conclusion: "...most assays for TT and FT are currently performed is decidedly unsatisfactory."  Enough said.  Interesting that they didn't look at salivary testosterone testing which has been shown to be extremely reliable and easy to perform.   I wonder how many physicians, insurance companies, state boards of medicine have read this statement?

Salivary Sex Hormone Measurement in a National, Population-Based Study of Older Adults - 0 views

  •  
    Another study supports saliva hormone testing.  This study involved 2,722 individuals and tested estradiol, progesterone, DHEA and testosterone in men and women.  All of these are sex hormones.  Someone needs to tell the insurance companies that the overwhelming evidence supports saliva hormone testing.  But, that would mean they are even interested in the science.

SpringerLink - European Journal of Applied Physiology, Volume 111, Number 8 - 0 views

  •  
    salivary estradiol evaluation validated.  Interesting, that alot of the research these days has moved beyond the use of saliva testing as experimental.  The only industry that hasn't is the insurance industry.  Of course, because they don't want to pay for anything.

The Diagnosis of Cushing's Syndrome: An Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guideline - 0 views

  • late night salivary cortiso
  • high diagnostic accuracy
  •  
    salivary cortisol testing recommended as first-line test for Cushing's syndrome due to "high diagnostic accuracy".  So, I wonder why so many state medical boards and insurance companies have missed this one?

Testosterone deficiency and cardiovascular mortality Morgentaler A, - Asian J Androl - 0 views

  • overall mortality and CV mortality were inversely associated with serum T concentrations.
  • men with low serum T, defined as < 8.7 nmol l−1 (250 ng dl−1 ), demonstrated significantly greater all-cause mortality than men with higher serum T (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.24; 95% CI: 1.41-3.57), as well as greater CV mortality
  • lower T levels were significantly associated with the presence of any CV disease
  • ...19 more annotations...
  • more than 30 years of studies suggesting that low levels of T represent an increased risk for CV and overall mortality,
  • lower serum T concentrations also are associated with CV disease, including incident coronary artery disease [17],[18],[19] and atherosclerosis,
  • the actual rate of adverse events was only half as great in the T group (123 events in 1223 men at risk = 10.1%) as in the untreated group (1587 events in 7486 men = 21.2%)
  • The study by Vigen et al. [7] has already undergone two published corrections,
  • 29 medical societies have called for retraction of the article, asserting "gross data mismanagement and contamination," that rendered the study "no longer credible
  • Mortality in T-treated men was reduced by approximately half in treated men compared with untreated men, at 10.3% versus 20.7%, respectively
  • The mortality rate for men who received TTh was 3.4 deaths per 100 person-years, and 5.7 deaths per 100 person-years in untreated men
  • HR of 0.61 (95%CI: 0.42-0.88; P = 0.008), indicating a significant reduction in mortality with TTh
  • men in the highest prognostic MI risk quartile, treatment with TTh was associated with reduced risk
  • tripling in T prescriptions in the US over the last decade
  • a majority of observational studies have found that low endogenous serum T levels are associated with increased mortality.
  • Men who received TTh were able to exercise significantly longer without ischemia compared with men who received placebo
  • In men with congestive heart failure, those who received T demonstrated greater walking distance and other functional endpoints compared with those who received placebo
  • TTh has been shown uniformly and repeatedly to improve several known CV risk factors, including reduced fat mass, body fat percent, and waist circumference, and increased lean mass
  • improved glycemic control
  • reductions in insulin resistance.
  • the evidence strongly points to improved CV status with normal serum T or treatment with TTh in men with TD
  • analysis of health insurance claims data that reported a 36% increased rate of nonfatal MI in the 90d following receipt of a T prescription compared with the 12 prior months.
  • Comparison with men who received a prescription for a phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor (PDE5i) revealed no increased rate of MI following the prescription
  •  
    Great review by Morgentaler of Testosterone and CVD.  He highlights the significant flaws in the JAMA and the NEJM articles of Testosterone therapy risks.  Morgentaler highlights the significant evidence that points to low T and increased risk of CVD. On contention I have, is Morgantaler seems to flip aside the massive uptick of Testosterone use in the US as compared to other countries.  The evidence definitely points to Testosterone therapy as being safe in those with low T, but there is definitely a problem of significant Testosterone doping that is taking place as well.
