A fast and convenient method of recognizing the tongue tumor tissue based on bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy (BIS) is proposed. According to difference among electrical characteristics under different pathological physiological conditions, we can judge whether it pathological. This help surgeon in clinical resection cancer not only remove completely, but also retain patient’s function as m...

A COMPARISON OF BIOELECTRICAL IMPEDANCE AND NEAR-INFRARED INTERACTANCE TO SKINFOLD MEASURES IN DETERMINING MINIMUM WRESTLING WEIGHT IN COLLEGIATE WRESTLERS. Donald C. Diboll and Jeffrey K. Moffit. JEPonline. 2003;6(2):26-36. The NCAA Wrestling Weight Certification Program (WWCP) requires minimum wrestling weight (MWW) at 5% body fat (euhydrated condition) be determined for all athletes. Only hy...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES In the United States, breast cancer (BC) is the most common non-skin cancer. In Poland, it is estimated that the number of new breast cancer cases affects about 13,500 women each year. There are many methods for nutritional status assessment. One of them is bioimpedance analysis (BIA). Direct bioimpedance measures (resistance, reactance, phase angle (PA)) determined ...

BACKGROUND Bioelectrical impedance (BIA) has a good correlation and agreement with reference techniques, such as dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), to assess body composition. AIM To develop and assess the concordance of an equation to predict body fat mass derived from anthropometric data, gender, age and resistance obtained from bioelectrical impedance in adults, using DEXA as the ref...

Multiple frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (MFBIA) has previously been shown to provide accurate relative measures of lymphedema in the upper limb of patients (1). This paper reports the results of a three year prospective study to evaluate the efficacy of MFBIA to predict the early onset of lymphedema in patients following treatment for breast cancer. Bioelectrical impedance measureme...

REVIEWS Treating restrictive eating disorder patients is metabolically and psychologically complex. Determining body composition is an important diagnostic and treatment option for these patients, because it ascertains whether the acquisition of body mass during refeeding is metabolically appropriate - ideally an approximate 20/80% - 25/75% fat/lean body mass ratio. The purpose of this paper is...

Twelve barrow Iberian pigs with an average weight at slaughter of 109.2kg were used to evaluate bioelectrical impedance procedures to predict the body composition of live pigs. Twelve hours before slaughter pigs were weighed, and a four-terminal body composition analyser (Model BIA-101, RJL Systems, Detroit, MI) was utilized to determine resistance (R(s) in Ω) and reactance (X(c) in Ω). The len...
