Larger Testicular Volume Is Independently Associated with Favorable Indices of Lung Function
BACKGROUND Men with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, have reduced endogenous testosterone levels, but the relationship between pulmonary function and endogenous testosterone levels, is inconsistent. Testicular volume is a known indicator of endogenous testosterone levels, male fertility, and male potency. In the present study, the authors investigated the relationship, between testicular ...
متن کاملReduced lung function is independently associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes in Korean men
BACKGROUND Reduced lung function is associated with incident insulin resistance and diabetes. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between lung function and incident type 2 diabetes in Korean men. METHODS This study included 9,220 men (mean age: 41.4 years) without type 2 diabetes at baseline who were followed for five years. Subjects were divided into four groups according to...
متن کاملRepeat hepatectomy is independently associated with favorable long‐term outcome in patients with colorectal liver metastases
Up to three-quarters of patients undergoing liver resection for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) develop intrahepatic recurrence. Repeat hepatic resection appears to provide the optimal chance of cure for these patients. The aim of this study was to analyze short- and long-term outcomes following index and repeat hepatectomy for CRLM. Clinicopathological data were obtained from a prospectivel...
متن کاملCT Air Trapping Is Independently Associated with Lung Function Reduction over Time
PURPOSE We aimed to study the association between lung function decline and quantitative computed tomography (CT) air trapping. MATERIALS AND METHODS Current and former heavy smokers in a lung cancer screening trial underwent volumetric low-dose CT in inspiration and expiration. Spirometry was obtained at baseline and after 3 years. The expiratory to inspiratory ratio of mean lung density (E/...
متن کاملRenal function is independently associated with circulating betatrophin
OBJECTIVE Betatrophin has been identified as a marker linking liver with beta cell function and lipid metabolism in murine models. Until now, the regulation of circulating betatrophin in humans is not entirely clear. We here analyzed the relation of betatrophin levels to phenotypes of the metabolic syndrome and speculated that renal function might influence circulating betatrophin levels and ex...
