Application of Artificial Neural Network to Somatotype Determination

Applied Sciences, 2021
Somatotype characteristics are important for the selection of sporting activities, as well as and the prevalence of several chronic diseases. Nowadays the most common method of somatotyping is the Heath–Carter method, which calculates the somatotype base

Bioelectrical impedance analysis measurements for drug pharmacokinetics [PDF]

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1996
I review the rationale, methods, and existing data for using bioelectrical impedance to determine drug pharmacokinetics. Because drugs distribute into body compartments after absorption, it is expected that bioelectrical impedance measurements may correlate with drug pharmacokinetics (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion).

Bioelectrical impedance analysis in ICU patients [PDF]

Critical Care, 2009
Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a widely used method for calculating body compartments in healthy subjects and chronically ill patients. The resistance (R) – which is correlated with total body water – and the reactance (Xc) – depending on the capacitance of cell membranes – are measured by BIA.

Usefulness of bioelectrical impedance analysis for monitoring patients with refractory ascites [PDF]

, 2019
Background: bioelectrical impedance analysis is a technique for the determination of the hydropic component. The hydropic component, determined by blood volume, could be a reflection of the hemodynamic situation.

Pain and Patient‐Reported Physical Function Did Not Differ Among Body Composition Profiles in Patients With Hip Osteoarthritis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective To explore whether higher body fat and lower lean mass are associated with greater pain and worse patient‐reported physical function in individuals with hip osteoarthritis (OA). A secondary aim was to examine whether pain and patient‐reported physical function differ according to four body composition profiles: high body fat, low lean mass ...

Harnessing Fungal Biowelding for Constructing Mycelium‐Engineered Materials

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Mycelium‐bound composites (MBCs) offer low‐carbon alternatives for construction, yet interfacial bonding remains a critical challenge. This review examines fungal biowelding as a biocompatible adhesive, elucidating mycelium‐mediated interfacial mechanisms and their role in material assembly. Strategies to optimize biowelding are discussed, highlighting

Peritoneal dialysis in older adults: evaluation of clinical, nutritional, metabolic outcomes, and quality of life [PDF]

, 2018
The number of older adults requiring dialysis is increasing worldwide, whereas the use of peritoneal dialysis (PD) in this population is lower respect to younger patients, despite the theoretical advantages of PD respect to hemodialysis.

PEDOT‐Based Eutectogel Electrode Arrays for Enhanced High‐Resolution Electrogastrography: Fabrication, Stability, and Wearable Performance

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Here, we present a high‐density PEDOT eutectogel electrode array for enhanced body surface gastric mapping. Silver electrodes are blade‐coated onto flexible substrates, followed by electrogelation of PEDOT:PSS and the deposition of a PEDOT:LS eutectogel.
