Body Surface Area Is Not a Reliable Predictor of Tracheal Tube Size in Children [PDF]
Objectives The age-based Cole formula has been employed for the estimation of endotracheal tube (ETT) size due to its ease of use, but may not appropriately consider growth rates among children.

Conductive elastomeric extensometer [PDF]
Bridge circuit, in which conductive elastomeric material is the variable leg, precisely measures surface area changes in the human body. Circuits are used singularly, or in quantity by adding elements and amplifier circuits.

On the monotone properties of general affine surface areas under the Steiner symmetrization
In this paper, we prove that, if functions (concave) $\phi$ and (convex) $\psi$ satisfy certain conditions, the $L_{\phi}$ affine surface area is monotone increasing, while the $L_{\psi}$ affine surface area is monotone decreasing under the Steiner ...

Disordered but rhythmic—the role of intrinsic protein disorder in eukaryotic circadian timing
Unstructured domains known as intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are present in nearly every part of the eukaryotic core circadian oscillator. IDRs enable many diverse inter‐ and intramolecular interactions that support clock function. IDR conformations are highly tunable by post‐translational modifications and environmental conditions, which ...

On-barn pig weight estimation based on body measurements by structure-from-motion (SfM) [PDF]
Information on the body shape of pigs is a key indicator to monitor their performance and health and to control or predict their market weight. Manual measurements are among the most common ways to obtain an indication of animal growth.

Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels
Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...

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.

Self-immolation a common suicidal behaviour in eastern Sri Lanka. [PDF]
A high number of self-burning injuries are noted in Batticaloa. The epidemiology, outcome and psychosocial aspects of 87 patients admitted with such burns over a 2-year-period was studied.

YAP1::TFE3 mediates endothelial‐to‐mesenchymal plasticity in epithelioid hemangioendothelioma
The YAP1::TFE3 fusion protein drives endothelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition (EndMT) plasticity, resulting in the loss of endothelial characteristics and gain of mesenchymal‐like properties, including resistance to anoikis, increased migratory capacity, and loss of contact growth inhibition in endothelial cells.

Evaluation of air-displacement plethysmography in children aged 5-7 years using a three-component model of body composition [PDF]
The aim of the present study was to evaluate air-displacement plethysmography (ADP) in children aged 5-7 years. Body-composition measurements were obtained by ADP, H-2 dilution and anthropometry in twenty-eight children. Calculation of body volume by ADP
