Abstract: A method for reducing an antigen indicator of prostate cancer and for reducing the need for biopsies in men suspected of having prostate cancer and a method for treating patients with elevated PSA levels. In one method, the level of an antigen indicator of prostate cancer is measured and for an above normal level of the antigen indicator, an effective amount of an anti-inflammatory, or a combination of the anti-inflammatory and an antibiotic, is administered and the level of the antigen indicator is remeasured to determine if the level is normal or reduced, whereby a biopsy may not be indicated.

Abstract: The administration of antiestrogens to men suffering a relative androgen deficiency stimulates the body's production of testosterone leading to a correction of the deficiency. For example, male menopause, loss of cognitive function, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, obesity, excessive weight, Alzheimer's disease, and combinations thereof, can all be characterized by significant decreases in serum levels of bioavailable androgens. Administration of antiestrogens to men restores optimum serum levels of bioavailable androgens, and, thus, serves as a treatment for these disorders and relative androgen deficiency in general.

Abstract: Male menopause is characterized by significant decreases in serum levels of bioavailable androgens. The administration of antiestrogens to men experiencing male menopause can remedy the relative androgen deficiency in men by stimulating the body's production of testosterone.

Abstract: A biological assembly for effecting the examination of a sample in a liquid medium under magnification. The assembly includes a transparent slide with a sample chamber and an immediately adjacent overflow chamber formed on one main surface by a thin film. The sample chamber is receptive of a sample in a liquid medium. transparent slide, having a pattern for aligning it with the sample chamber, is disposed over the sample chamber. The transparent slide includes a grid etched into the lower surface thereof to enable the counting of cells under magnification.
