Metabolic effects of testosterone added to intensive lifestyle intervention in older men with obesity and hypogonadism.

Background: Whether testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) conveys additional cardiometabolic benefit to an intensive lifestyle therapy (LT) in older men with obesity and hypogonadism remains unclear.

Objective: To determine whether TRT augments the effect of LT on metabolic outcomes in older men with obesity and hypogonadism.

Design: Secondary analysis of a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.

High frequency ultrasound evaluation of traumatic peripheral nerve injuries.

Objective: Accurate diagnosis and localization of peripheral nerve traumatic injury remains difficult. Early diagnosis and repair of nerve discontinuity lesions lead to better outcome than delayed repair.

Materials And Methods: We used new high frequency ultrasound to evaluate 24 patients with 29 traumatic nerve injuries.
