I would say quite a few on these groups could use a bit of
this .. therapy ..
Heh .. heh ..

improvement after erythrapheresis. Erythrapheresis

Erythrapheresis in patients with polycythaemia secondary to
hypoxic lung disease.
Wedzicha JA, Rudd RM, Apps MC, Cotter FE, Newland AC, Empey
DW.
Erythrapheresis was performed in 10 patients with
polycythaemia secondary to hypoxic lung disease (mean PaO2,
6.8 kPa (51 mm Hg)). The mean packed cell volume decreased
from 0.64 to 0.48 in men and from .56 to 0.42 in women, with
significant decreases in blood viscosity at both high and low
shear rates (p less than 0.001). Patients showed significant
improvement in six-minute walking distances (p less than .001)
and in tests of mental alertness (p less than 0.01) compared
to control subjects. Visual analogue scales confirmed
symptomatic improvement after erythrapheresis. Erythrapheresis
significantly improved symptoms, mental function, and work
performance in patients with polycythaemia secondary to
hypoxic lung disease. The procedure was well tolerated by all
patients and no complications occurred.
