Body Composition in Severe Infantile Malnutrition.
In Jamaica infantile malnutrition is most serious among children about 1 year old. The clinical picture may be of the marasmic or the kwashiorkor type, and intermediate forms often occur (1). Waterlow (2) suggested that the essential result of malnutrition was to produce protein depletion in the child, and many attempts have been made to measure the extent of this depletion. Chemical analysis o...
متن کاملBody temperature and anaesthesia.
The velocity of enzyme catalysed reactions increases with temperature to a maximum beyond which enzyme activity decreases because of protein denaturation. Many biological reactions have a 10 °C temperature coefficient (Qi0) of 2; that is, their rate of reaction doubles for a 10 °C temperature increase [62]. In mammals, protein denaturation begins at about 42 °C and internal temperatures at or a...
متن کاملBody temperature
Despite smaller physiological variations (circadian changes, ovulatory cycle, exercise, etc.), deep body temperature is relatively stable (depending on species) due to regulatory processes (Fig. 1). Core temperature is one of the components of milieu intérieur, similarly to other components it contributes to the stability of physiological functions. The basic physiological regulation is determi...
متن کاملBody temperature variability (Part 2): masking influences of body temperature variability and a review of body temperature variability in disease.
This is the second of a two-part review on body temperature variability. Part 1 discussed historical and modern findings on average body temperatures. It also discussed endogenous sources of temperature variability, including variations caused by site of measurement; circadian, menstrual, and annual biological rhythms; fitness; and aging. Part 2 reviews the effects of exogenous masking agents -...
متن کاملTotal body potassium and body fat estimation in relationship to height, sex, age, malnutrition and obesity.
1. Total body potassium was estimated by 40-K measurement with a high-sensitivity whole body counter in normal individuals over a wide age range and in patients who were obese or were grossly wasted as a result of various conditions which restricted food intake. 2. Potassal males and females, but when individuals of different age groups were matched for height, a significant fall in total body ...
