Three different adult Indonesian population groups living on Sumatra (Palembang), Java (Depok) and Sulawesi (Makale) participated in a study on body composition. Body weight, body height and multifrequency bioelectrical impedance (1, 5, 50 and 100 kHz) were measured and in addition total body water (TBW) and extracellular water (ECW) were determined by dilution techniques, using deuterium oxide...

BackgroundOlecranon fractures are common and usually treated operatively either by tension band wiring (TBW) or plate fixation (PF). The aim of this study was to assess early complications reoperations their predictive factors related those operative methods.MethodsA retrospective analysis all patients with an olecranon fracture between 2007 2017 at Turku University hospital performed. Reoperat...

This study aimed to assess fluid loss (FL) and customary intake (FI) during a training session, the relationship between FL total body water (TBW) content in selected group of young swimmers. The involved 17 (seven females, 10 males) individuals whose anthropometric composition analyses FI units were carried out. average actual oscillated around 531 mL −513 for whole (469 −284 574 −674 males). ...

Background: Previous studies to develop and validate bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) equations to predict body composition were limited by small sample sizes, sex specificity, and reliance on reference methods that use a 2-component model. Objective: This study was designed to develop sex-specific BIA equations to predict total body water (TBW) and fat-free mass (FFM) with the use of a m...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients may be overhydrated especially when inflammation is present. We hypothesized that patients with a plasma albumin below the median value would have measurable overhydration without a proportional increase in plasma volume (PV). DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS We investigated a cross-sectional sample of 46 prevalent PD pa...

Nguyen, Minhtri K., and Ira Kurtz. A new formula for predicting alterations in plasma sodium concentration in peritoneal dialysis. Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 288: F1113–F1117, 2005; doi:10.1152/ajprenal.00387.2004.—Alterations in the plasma water sodium concentration ([Na ]pw) result from changes in the total exchangeable sodium (Nae), total exchangeable potassium (Ke), and total body water (TB...

BACKGROUND Tension-band wiring (TBW) is a well-established fixation technique for two-part, transverse fracture types of the olecranon. However, complication rates up to 80 % are reported. By reporting on the enormous impact on the patient if failed the aim of the present report was to emphasize the importance of correct K wire positioning in TBW. CASE PRESENTATION We present the case of a 49...

Water influx rates (WIR) measured with tritiated water dilution were compared with direct measures of water and energy intake in glaucous gulls (Larus hyperboreus). Total body water (TBW) measured isotopically was also compared with TBW determined by body composition analysis (BCA) of the same birds. Seventeen wild gulls were captured and studied in outdoor enclosures at Ny-Alesund, Svalbard, i...

Estimates of body fat mass gained during human pregnancy are necessary to assess the composition of gestational weight gained and in studying energy requirements of reproduction. However, commonly used methods of measuring body composition are not valid during pregnancy. We used measurements of total body water (TBW), body density, and bone mineral content (BMC) to apply a four-component model ...
