Things to consider before testing: I recommend testing your TSH early in the morning, and delaying your thyroid hormones until after taking the test, to ensure accurate results, especially if you are taking T3-containing medications. Taking your medications before the test can suppress your TSH an...

It really helps to see the images since the light spots will show you where you have a lack of bone density. Very motivating! I always ask my health care provider for a copy so I can study it at home. And I file my copies so I can compare results from year to year. I find it...
The most striking change observed on CT scan when shifting from supine to prone position is the density redistribution from dorsal to ventral [15]. To interpret this finding, subsequent CT scan analyses culminated in the sponge model due to superimposed pressure [16]. Accordingly, in the wet lu...
remember when we talk about correlation is that it doesn’t mean that the changes observed in one variable are responsible for the changes observed in another variable. Causation is observed when an event occurring has an impact on a given outcome. Be careful not to interpret correlation as ...
However, for those really into data and optimization of health and performance, a full blood panel might be helpful, so long as you know what to do with the information (or have someone to interpret the results). This additional screen may look into nutritional biomarkers beyond your typical ...
Interpret Your Bone Density Scan Results DEXA bone scan results scores are measured as T-scores, which is a comparison of a person’s bone density with that ofa healthy 30-year-old adult.The lower bone density test results, the lower your total bone density, indicatingosteopeniaorosteoporosis....
In the United States (US), the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program is the only comprehensive source of population-based information that includes stage of cancer at the time of diagnosis and patient survival data. This program aims to provide a database about cancer incide...

A sudden shift in glycogen and body water can throw off the tools commonly used to assess body composition, such asdual-energy x-ray absorptiometry(DXA/DEXA) andbioelectrical impedanceanalysis(BIA). DXA was originally used to measure bone density to aid in the detection of osteoporosis. Today,...
