Estimations of body surface area in newborns
Acta Paediatrica, 2008AbstractAim: To explore the suitability of existing formulas to estimate the body surface area (BSA) of newborns when direct measurement of surface estimation is not practical.Methods: In 589 term‐newborns of normal weight and height, the five estimations (in cm2) were performed using four known BSA formulas by Boyd, Meban, Mosteller and Dubois, and ...

Discrepancy Between Body Surface Area and Body Composition in Cancer
Nutrition and Cancer, 2013Calculation of cytostatic dose is typically based on body surface area (BSA) regardless of body composition. The aim of this study was to assess the discrepancy between BSA and low fat-free mass (FFM) by investigating the prevalence of low FFM with regard to BSA in 630 cancer patients. First, BSA was calculated according to DuBois and DuBois.

Calculation of Surface Area of the Body
Pediatrics, 1960Several recent commentaries have been concerned primarily with the use of surface area of the body as a means of computing parenteral fluid dosages. Since there is, fortunately, a reasonably wide latitude of bodily homeostatic mechanisms, it becomes largely a matter of personal preference whether one utilizes surface area to estimate initial dosages or

Body surface area in the infant rat
Journal of Applied Physiology, 1975Body 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 SURFACE AREA AND USAGE AREAS
Kocatepe Tıp DergisiBody surface area is an anthropometric parameter used in many areas like drug dose adjustment, burn treatment, and determination of fluid requirement, as well as to calculate the basal metabolic rate. It is critical for many medical specialties, such as chemotherapy, transplantology, burn therapy, and toxicology.

Estimated Body Surface Area (BSA)
1989Estimate of body surface area are commonly used in clinical medicine for a variety of applications, including the calculation of chemotherapeutic drug dosages in cancer therapy, the determination of the dosage of some drugs used in pediatrics, the indexing of hemodynamic parameters (eg, stroke volume index = stroke volume/body surface area in square ...

Body height, body mass and surface area of the Neandertals
Zeitschrift für Morphologie und Anthropologie, 1998Body 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 ...

Standardization of body surface area calculations
Journal of Oncology Pharmacy Practice, 2002Purpose. 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 ...

Regional body surface area of sheep
The Journal of Agricultural Science, 1973SUMMARYTwenty-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 ...
