Impaired semen quality in Crohn's disease--drugs, ill health, or undernutrition?

abstract：BACKGROUND:Torsemide is a new loop diuretic that has shown, in short-term studies, to induce a longer and higher diuretic and natriuretic action than frusemide. However, torsemide long-term effects and complications have not been sufficiently investigated. The aim was to compare the efficacy and safety of torsemide ver...
