Background Docetaxel (DTX) is a widely used anti-tumour drug, and its dosage is solely determined by body surface area (BSA). Adverse events, such as neutropenia or unsatisfied efficacy, likely occur because of differences in the pharmacokinetics (PK ...

Comparison of 3D scanned human models for off-body communications using motion capture [PDF]
Body area networks are complex to analyze as there are several channel mechanisms occurring simultaneously, i.e. environmental multipath together with body motion and close coupling between worn antennas and human tissue.

Clinicoepidemiological profile of pediatric psoriasis: Experience from a tertiary care center
Introduction: Psoriasis is a common skin disorder and is relatively less studied in children. The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical and epidemiological profile of pediatric psoriasis (PP).

Mathematical Modelling of Different Types of Body Support Surface for Pressure Ulcer Prevention [PDF]
Pressure ulcer is a common problem for today’s healthcare industry. It occurs due to external load applied to the skin. Also when the subject is immobile for a longer period of time and there is continuous load applied to a particular area of human body,

Did we observe the supernova shock breakout in GRB 060218? [PDF]
If the early optical data of GRB 060218 up to 1e5 s are interpreted as the black-body flux associated with the supernova shock breakout, we can derive lower limits to the bolometric luminosity and energetics of this black-body component. These limits are

Electrocardiographic (ECG) criteria for determining left ventricular mass in young healthy men; data from the LARGE Heart study [PDF]
Background: Doubts remain over the use of the ECG in identifying those with increased left ventricular (LV) mass. This is especially so in young individuals, despite their high prevalence of ECG criteria for LV hypertrophy.

Body surface area capping may not improve cytotoxic drugs tolerance
Capping body surface area (BSA) at 2 m2 is a routine clinical practice. It aims at reducing toxicities in over 2 m2 BSA patients. 455,502 computerized chemotherapy prescriptions made between 2011 and 2017 were taken from BPC software.

THE COMPARISON OF PRINCIPLES OF ROCURONIUM DOSING IN PATIENTS WITH HIGH BODY-WEIGHT INDEX
The quality rates of neuromuscular block with various ways of dosing were compared for the patients with body weight index exceeding 40kg*m-2 who had laparoscopic surgery for gallstone disease. It has been found that dosing per actual body weight did not

Surface bodies and p-affine surface area
The authors give a new characterization of Lutwak's (extended) \(p\)-affine surface area \[ O_p(K):=\int_{\partial K}\frac{\kappa(x)^{\frac {p}{n+p}}} {h(x)^{\frac{n(p-1)}{n+p}}}d\mu_{\partial K}(x)\quad (-\infty \leq p\leq+\infty,\;p\neq -n) \] where \(\kappa\) denotes the generalized Gauss curvature, \(h\) the support function and \(\mu_{\partial K}\)
