Introduction: The purpose of this study was to compare body composition assessed by bioimpedance analysis (BIA) against deuterium dilution (D2O) techniques. Methods: This study was conducted on 215 young Syrian adults. Total body water (TBW), fat free mass (FFM) and fat mass (FM) compartments were calculated from the measurements of resistance made at 50 kHZ using the formula provided by the in...

Total Body Water (TBW) was measured in a group of 20 healthy adult Indian men and 10 women by the deuterated water dilution technique and their body composition was determined by applying a hydration factor of 0.7194 for fat free mass (FFM). The TBW in the male subjects whose mean body weight was 49.8 +/- 6.7 kg, was 60.6 +/- 3.2% of body weight (range 55.8%-65.4%), from which a FFM of 41.9 +/-...

Total body water (TBW) and total body potassium (TBK) were studied in 40 ileostomists before (with conventional ileostomy) and one year after conversion to a continent ileostomy. Each patient acted as his own control. Total body water was determined by using an isotope dilution technique and TBK by counting the gamma radiation from the naturally present nuclide 40K in a whole body counter. Meas...

Diurnal variation in body composition in relation to chronobiological parameters was analyzed in 27 healthy students (22-29 years) four times over one day from 5:35 to 0:15 h. Body composition was determined by multifrequency bioimpedance analysis at fixed frequencies (1, 5, 50, 100 kHz). Resistance (R) and reactance (Xc) were measured. Total, extra and intracellular body water (TBW, ECW, ICW),...

to enable them to use open TCI systems with the Schnider model for TCI in morbidly obese patients. Although we do not recommend these practices, we feel that it is important to mention this issue, to illustrate the inherent and significant dangers. One option for clinicians who wish to use the Schnider model in morbidly obese patients is to input a ‘corrected’ TBW value—typically the user will ...

Perception and behavior are fundamentally shaped by the integration of different sensory modalities into unique multisensory representations, a process governed by spatio-temporal correspondence. Prior work has characterized temporal perception using the point in time at which subjects are most likely to judge multisensory stimuli to be simultaneous (PSS) and the temporal binding window (TBW) o...

The last decade has witnessed the rapid growth of open-source software (OSS). Still, all contributors may find it difficult to assimilate into OSS community even they are enthusiastic make contributions. We thus suggest that partner recommendation across different roles benefit both users and developers, i.e., once we able successful for those in need, dramatically contribute productivity devel...

Accurate predictive tools are key factors for cancer care. Phase angle (PhA) has been proposed as a marker of cellular health, particularly cell-membrane integrity. Cutoff values have proposed, including survivors. This study aimed to assess the usefulness PhA cutoff, bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) assessed health-status, and functional capacity in breast (BC) cross-sectional included 2...
