Superior contractor performance : a barrier to lean construction adoption in Australia

, 2022
The Australian construction industry produces twice as much value per dollar while enduring four times the competition than manufacturing. Impressively, this sector outpaces six of nine major industries in the country. However, their quantitative success

Body Composition of Chronic Kidney Disease Patients

Journal of Renal and Hepatic Disorders, 2021
With accelerated muscle proteolysis, a decrease in muscle mass is evident in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. This eventually leads to nutritional disturbance that for a long has been mostly attributed to malnutrition.

The authors reply: Letter on: “Pitfalls in the measurement of muscle mass: a need for a reference standard” by Clark et al.

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2018
However, semantics aside, we think that DXA can indeed serve as a reference standard for measuring muscle mass. Obviously, CT and MRI are advanced techniques that can and have been used to obtain important information such as muscle size/volume and more ...

Dapagliflozin increases the lean-to total mass ratio in type 2 diabetes mellitus

Nutrition & Diabetes, 2021
We compared the effect of dapagliflozin versus glibenclamide on the ratio of lean-to total mass in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, carotid subclinical atherosclerosis, HbA1c 7.0–9.0% and 40–70 years-old.

Pitfalls in the measurement of muscle mass: a need for a reference standard

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2018
Background All proposed definitions of sarcopenia include the measurement of muscle mass, but the techniques and threshold values used vary. Indeed, the literature does not establish consensus on the best technique for measuring lean body mass. Thus, the

Association of Hip Bone Mineral Density and Body Composition in a Rural Indian Population: The Andhra Pradesh Children and Parents Study (APCAPS).

PLoS ONE, 2017
BackgroundFat mass is variably associated with bone mass, possibly due to differential mechanical and biological effects of fat mass. We examined the association of fat mass with bone mass in a lean population.ObjectiveTo investigate association between ...

Association of change in muscle mass assessed by D3‐creatine dilution with changes in grip strength and walking speed

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2020
Background Muscle mass declines with age. However, common assessments used to quantify muscle mass are indirect. The D3‐creatine (D3Cr) dilution method is a direct assessment of muscle mass; however, longitudinal changes have not been examined in ...

Serum Creatinine and Fat-free Mass (Lean Body Mass) [PDF]

Clinical Chemistry, 2000
Serum creatinine is widely used as an index of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (1). However, it is not a sensitive index because GFR may have to decrease by >50% before serum creatinine becomes “abnormal”, and this may be at least partly attributable to the wide reference interval for serum creatinine (44–124 μmol/L).

Lean Construction: IGLC research evolution and agenda for the future [PDF]

, 2021
The way Lean Construction has evolved within the construction industry is still not entirely clear. Inspired by lean manufacturing, there are differences in the output of the construction industry, thus resulting in differences between both types of ...
