Validity of Standing Posture Eight-electrode Bioelectrical Impedance to Estimate Body Composition in Taiwanese Elderly

International Journal of Gerontology, 2014
Background: Standing eight-electrode bioelectrical impedance analysis, which can be used to estimate percentage body fat (BF%) and lean soft tissue (LST) in the whole body and different body segments of elderly adults, is potentially an ideal method for ...

Antiobesity Medications for Older Adults—the New, the Good, the Bad, and the Unknown

Obesity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Obesity affects 42% of older adults, with rates continuing to rise. This a complex condition influenced by non‐modifiable as well as modifiable risk factors. The disease can be treated through modifications to diet, physical activity, and behavior and more recently through antiobesity medications (AOMs) and surgery. Treatment must be

Population Pharmacokinetics Modeling of Selpercatinib to Support Posology in Pediatric Patients With RET‐Altered Metastatic Thyroid Cancer or Solid Tumors

CPT: Pharmacometrics &Systems Pharmacology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Selpercatinib is a first‐in‐class, highly selective, RET kinase inhibitor with CNS activity, approved for the treatment of RET‐altered lung, thyroid, and other cancers. We report pharmacokinetic analyses to identify factors affecting selpercatinib steady‐state exposure and support posology in pediatric patients.

U-Net-Based Deep Learning Hybrid Model: Research and Evaluation for Precise Prediction of Spinal Bone Density on Abdominal Radiographs

Bioengineering
Osteoporosis is a metabolic bone disorder characterized by the progressive loss of bone mass, which significantly increases the risk of fractures. While dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry is the standard technique for assessing bone mineral density, its ...

Evaluating the Fat Distribution in Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension Using Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry Scanning

Neuro-ophthalmology (Aeolus Press. 1980), 2017
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is strongly associated with obesity. We aimed to utilise dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) to characterise fat distribution, and to evaluate change in fat mass and distribution following weight loss.

Pay up or die: Tradeoffs between costly telomere maintenance, somatic growth and body condition in embryonic and adult sand lizards

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Current knowledge about telomere biology relies to a very high degree on results from research on endotherms. This would not be problematic if organisms shared the same mechanisms regulating telomere length (TL) but this is not necessarily the case; for example, most ...

High detection rate of osteoporosis with screening of a general hospitalized population: a 6-year study in 6406 patients in a university hospital setting

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2020
Background Osteoporosis is a highly prevalent disease identified by Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) that can be performed in an ambulatory (out-patient) or hospitalized population.
