Estimation of body surface area in neonates, infants, and children using body weight alone
Background: The aim of this study was to use Body Surface Area (BSA) data calculated with the Mosteller equation to test potential new equations that estimate BSA using Body Weight (BW) alone in children aged 0–18 years.

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

Body surface area-based equivalent dose calculation in tree shrew
Tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri) is a promising experimental animal in biomedical research, but the equivalent doses of drugs between tree shrew and human and other animals has not been explored, which hinders its further application in a wider scope.

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 \(\mu_{\partial K}\)

Measurement of the Surface Area of the Human Body [PDF]
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
