BMI and inverted BMI as predictors of fat mass in young people: a comparison across the ages
Annals of Human Biology, 2020 Background: The use of body mass index (BMI) could lead to over/under estimation of fat mass percentage (FM%). An alternative index (inverted BMI, iBMI) has been proposed as a better estimator of FM% in adults, while its practical feasibility in children

Compressed Sparse FM-Index: Fast Sequence Alignment Using Large K-Steps
IEEE/ACM Transactions on Computational Biology & Bioinformatics, 2020 The FM-index is a data structure used in genomics for exact search of input sequences over large reference genomes. Algorithms based on the FM-index show an irregular memory access pattern, resulting in a memory bound problem.

International Journal of Anatomy Radiology and Surgery, 2018 Introduction: The shape of the Foramen Magnum (FM) is variable and the incidence of the variants in shape vary in different ethnic groups. Such morphological and morphometic measurements of the FM are of forensic and anthropological importance. Aim:

Better quality score compression through sequence-based quality smoothing
BMC Bioinformatics, 2019 Motivation Current NGS techniques are becoming exponentially cheaper. As a result, there is an exponential growth of genomic data unfortunately not followed by an exponential growth of storage, leading to the necessity of compression. Most of the entropy

Prevalence of falls in fibromyalgia patients [PDF]
Acta Ortopédica Brasileira, 2014 OBJECTIVE: To compare the risk of falls in fibromyalgia (FM) patients compared to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and normal controls. METHODS: We studied 60 FM, 60 RA patients and 60 controls for fall frequency in one week, one month, six months
