Tratamiento por bajos niveles de testosterona - Medical Animation
MEDICAL ANIMATION TRANSCRIPT: Su médico puede recomendarle una terapia de reemplazo con testosterona si el nivel de testosterona en su torrente sanguíneo es significativamente menor que el normal. La testosterona es una hormona masculina, también llamada andrógeno, que se produce en sus testículos. La testosterona promueve el desarrollo de características sexuales masculinas y apoya las funciones masculinas, tal como la producción de esperma y el deseo sexual. Esta hormona es también esencial para el mantenimiento de la densidad ósea, el nivel de glóbulos rojos, la masa muscular y la sensación de bienestar. Los niveles bajos de testosterona en su sangre pueden resultar en una condición llamada deficiencia androgénica o hipogonadismo, que puede incluir el aumento de grasa corporal, tamaño reducido de los músculos y pechos hinchados. Si su nivel de testosterona es bajo, puede experimentar un impulso sexual disminuido, disfunción eréctil y baja cantidad de esperma, lo que lleva a la infertilidad. Una deficiencia en testosterona afecta a todas las partes de su cuerpo. Incluso puede causar pérdida del vello corporal, aumento de grasa corporal, disminución de masa muscular, disminución de densidad ósea que puede llevar a osteoporosis, anemia suave, pechos hinchados o sensibles, bochornos, disminución de energía y depresión. La terapia de reemplazo con testosterona es la administración de testosterona producida por el hombre para elevar el nivel de esta hormona en su sangre a su nivel normal y aliviar sus síntomas. Puede realizar la terapia con testosterona con una inyección, parche, gel o pastillas. Si recibe inyecciones, recibirá una cada dos o tres semanas. La testosterona se aplicará en el músculo de sus nalgas. Si usa un parche de testosterona para la piel, colocará el parche en su brazo, espalda, abdomen o parte superior de sus nalgas. Cambiará su parche diariamente. Si usa un gel de testosterona, lo aplicará diariamente a la piel en su hombro, antebrazo o abdomen. Si usa pastillas bucales, colocará una pastilla en su línea gingival dos veces al día.
"This past year, your company prepared three medical illustrations for our cases; two in which we received six figure awards; one in which we received a substantial seven figure award. I believe in large part, the amounts obtained were due to the vivid illustrations of my clients' injuries and the impact on the finder of fact."

"Our firm was able to settle our case at an all day mediation yesterday and
I am confident that the detail and overall appearance of the medical
illustrations significantly contributed to the settlement. When we require
medical illustrations in the future, I will be sure to contact [MLA]."

"It is my experience that it's much more effective to show a jury what
happened than simply to tell a jury what happened. In this day and age where
people are used to getting information visually, through television and
other visual media, I would be at a disadvantage using only words.
I teach a Litigation Process class at the University of Baltimore Law Schooland use [Medical Legal Art's] animation in my class. Students always saythat they never really understood what happened to [to my client] until theysaw the animation.
Animations are powerful communication tools that should be used wheneverpossible to persuade juries."
