Albumin concentrations are primarily determined by the body cell mass and the systemic inflammatory response in cancer patients with weight loss [PDF]
The association between hypoalbuminemia and poor prognosis in patients with cancer is well recognized. However, the factors that contribute to the fall in albumin concentrations are not well understood.

Body fatness or anthropometry for assessment of unhealthy weight status? Comparison between methods in South African children and adolescents [PDF]
A variety of methods are available for defining undernutrition (thinness/underweight/under-fat) and overnutrition (overweight/obesity/over-fat). The extent to which these definitions agree is unclear.

BODY WEIGHT AND ORGAN WEIGHT IN RATS
To define the standard for the normal physiological status of rats, about 300 Wistar strain rats, bred in our department, were examined for body weight gain with age in day, and weight of 11 organs-hypophysis, thyroid, adrenal, thymus, testis, ovary, uterus, heart, liver, spleen and kidney-were obtained for each body weight group.

The matrix-weighted dyadic convex body maximal operator is not bounded [PDF]
The convex body maximal operator is a natural generalisation of the Hardy Littlewood maximal operator. In the presence of a matrix weight it is not bounded.

Exponential Cell Division and Allometric Scaling in Metabolic Ecology [PDF]
One of the most fundamental rules in metabolic ecology is the allometric equation, which is a power-law scaling that describes the connection between body measurements and body size. The biological dynamics of this essentially empirical allometric equation, however, have yet to be properly addressed in cell level.

Growth and slaughtering performance, carcase fleshiness and meat quality according to the plumage colour in Padovana male chickens slaughtered at 18 weeks of age [PDF]
The aim of this trial was to investigate on the growth and meat quality of Padovana male chickens with different plumage varieties, chamois (PC - light brown feathers with white edge), silver (PS - white feathers with black edge), and their cross.

Body Composition Estimation Based on Multimodal Multi-task Deep Neural Network [PDF]
In addition to body weight and Body Mass Index (BMI), body composition is an essential data point that allows people to understand their overall health and body fitness. However, body composition is largely made up of muscle, fat, bones, and water, which makes estimation not as easy and straightforward as measuring body weight.
