Measurement of the Surface Area of the Human Body [PDF]
Nature, 1962 IN the study of heat exchanges between the human body and its environment, physiologists in the past have been interested to know the area of the surface of the experimental subject, as this quantity appears in the equations concerning convection, radiation and evaporation. In the past, surface areas were determined by covering the surface of the human

Body surface area formulae: an alarming ambiguity [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 AbstractBody surface area (BSA) plays a key role in several medical fields, including cancer chemotherapy, transplantology, burn treatment and toxicology. BSA is often a major factor in the determination of the course of treatment and drug dosage. A series of formulae to simplify the process have been developed.

The physiologic significance of body surface area
The Journal of Pediatrics, 1965 I N W E a E S T in comparing the physiology of various sized animals has led to a long search for methods that would allow quantitative comparisons. This has been of particular interest in the field of pediatrics, where the pertinent range of body size is large, regardless of whether length, weight, or body surface area is considered.

Inequalities for the Surface Area of Projections of Convex Bodies [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Mathematics, 2018 AbstractWe provide general inequalities that compare the surface area S(K) of a convex body K in ℝn to the minimal, average, or maximal surface area of its hyperplane or lower dimensional projections. We discuss the same questions for all the quermassintegrals of K.

, 2019 The body surface area (BSA) is a mathematical relationship, expressed in m2, with the result obtained from the height and weight of the patient. This measure is used in order to obtain a more comprehensive parameter of the patient’s weight, to define more appropriate dosage.

Journal of PHYSIOLOGICAL ANTHROPOLOGY, 2008 The purpose of this study was to determine the body surface area (BSA) based on the alginate method, to derive formulae for estimating BSA, and to compare the error of the present formula to previous formulas obtained from other countries. We directly measured the entire body surface area of 34 males (20-60 years old, 158.5-187.5 cm in height, 48.5-103.

Body composition characteristics and body surface area
Papers on Anthropology, 2013 Chemotherapy dose calculation for oncologycal patient is using the human body surface area (BSA). BSA is a variable with a difficult constitutional body and physiological assessment. BSA does not reflect the exercise on body composition in relation to the various body modifications: obesity, amputation of body parts, pregnancy.

Use of Body Surface Area for Dosing of Vancomycin [PDF]
The Journal of Pediatric Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 2019 OBJECTIVES Vancomycin weight-based dosing regimens often fail to achieve therapeutic trough serum concentration in children ≤12 years of age and rigorous studies evaluating efficacy and safety of body surface area (BSA)–based dosing regimens have not been performed.
