Body surface area in the infant rat

Journal of Applied Physiology, 1975
Body surface area (SA), one index used to minimize size differences in metabolic studies, was estimated by a coating method in rats aged 1, 7, 14, and 21 days (d) (n = 100–107). Body weights (BW) at each age varied about twofold. Regression equations were calculated for SA (cm2) vs. BW (g) (SA = 8.73 + 2.29 BW, 17.79 + 1.71 BW, -4.92 + 2.16 BW, and 53.

Body height, body mass and surface area of the Neandertals

Zeitschrift für Morphologie und Anthropologie, 1998
Body size, expressed as height or stature, is an important determinant of many other biological variables. Thus, it is surprising that many textbooks portray a wrong picture of Neanderthal height as being "very short" or "just over 5 feet". Based on 45 long bones from maximally 14 males and 7 females, Neanderthals' height averages between 164 and 168 ...

Body Surface Area Misconceptions¹

Risk Analysis, 1993
In this letter to the editor, the author discusses methods that have been used to measure body surface area and some of the assumptions which have been made in the measurements. Proposals for interspecies extrapolation formulas that rely on surface area measurements make two assumptions: that the surface area is relevant and that the surface area has ...

Body Surface Area Teaching in Pediatrics

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1967
To the Editor:— Much literature has appeared in recent years on the subject of body surface area (BSA). 1-8 In spite of the fact that various textbooks and brochures present drug dosage in terms of BSA, there has been, to our knowledge, no considered attempt to learn how widely the subject is being taught in medical schools.

Body Surface Area in Galeoid Sharks

Copeia, 1990
Standard length (SL), girths (G) and body surface areas (SA) were measured on 47 specimens comprising 10 species of galeoid sharks ranging in SL from 51-354 cm. Analysis of covariance showed that even closely related species had statistically different regressions of surface area on length.

Regional body surface area of sheep

The Journal of Agricultural Science, 1973
SUMMARYTwenty-three shorn, adult Merino sheep weighing 22·6–63·1 kg were killed and total skin surface area and eight regional skin surface areas measured after skinning. Bodyfat content (1·9–43·6% of body weight) was estimated from the tritiated-water space and body dimensions were recorded before slaughter.Body weight was the best single measure for ...

Standardization of body surface area calculations

Journal of Oncology Pharmacy Practice, 2002
Purpose. Antineoplastic agents have a narrow therapeutic index and therefore require the greatest degree of dose individualization. In choosing a body surface area (BSA) for‘mula, the challenge remains in obtaining consensus among prescribers. The objective of this review is to assess the various formulae available for calculating BSA and to adopt a ...

Measures of Body Surface Area in Children

2012
Body surface area (BSA) is an important index of body size in both adults and children. The use of BSA allows for standardization of the important physiological parameters such as cardiac function, glomerular filtration rate and proteinuria, which are indexed by BSA. This in turn enables comparison of these parameters among children of various ages and

Body Weight and Body Surface Area in Chemotherapy

2012
In oncology, dosing of anticancer drugs in adult patients is mostly adjusted to estimated body surface area or more rarely to body weight. When compared with a fixed (or flat) dose which is the rule in other therapeutic areas, this approach is a complication necessitating calculations that can lead to prescription and administration errors.
