Methods In this cross-sectional study, 1510 middle-aged women who were visited in a weight reduction clinic of university were recruited. Migraine was diagnosed with HIS criteria. Body composition parameters including total fat mass (FATM), total fat free mass (FFM), truncal fat mass (TFATM), and truncal fat free mass (TFFM) was assessed using bioelectric impedance. We further assessed cardiova...

This pilot study was conducted to investigate whether multiple electrophysiological activities could be altered when exposed to extremely low frequency pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) over a consecutive 5 day period. Our results revealed substantial changes in electroencephalographic hemispheric asymmetry, observed at the theta band posterior predominance, an increase in the low frequency h...

The spatial resolution of Bioelectric Imaging of the Heart was investigated. Based on the measurement of a multichannel Electrocardiogram (ECG) or Magnetocardiogram (MCG) images of epicardial potential distributions can be reconstructed. The imaging properties of this method have been investigated using Computer simulations. The spatial resolution depends strongly on the number and arrangement ...

The assessment of fluid volume in neonates by a noninvasive, inexpensive, and fast method can contribute significantly to increase the quality of neonatal care. The objective of the present study was to calibrate an acquisition system and software to estimate the bioelectrical impedance parameters obtained by a method of bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy based on step response and to develop...

background: nutrition is an important determinant of health in elderly and nutritional assessment is necessary for development of treatment protocols. the study aimed to evaluate nutritional status using multidimensional assessment in elderly. methods: one hundred fourteen subjects (76 men and 64 women) from elderly residence house in kermanshah, western iran were studied. data was collected us...
