Prediction equations for spirometry in South Africa

South African Medical Journal, 2013
The South African Guideline for Office Spirometry was recently published. Its aim was to provide an updated guideline for office spirometry in South Africa (SA), thereby improving the quality, standardisation and usefulness of spirometry. The need for local prediction equations based on large, all-inclusive studies of the SA population was highlighted ...

Optimal Prediction for Hamiltonian Partial Differential Equations [PDF]

Journal of Computational Physics, 2000
Optimal prediction methods compensate for a lack of resolution in the numerical solution of time-dependent differential equations through the use of prior statistical information. We present a new derivation of the basic methodology, show that field-theoretical perturbation theory provides a useful device for dealing with quasi-linear problems, and ...

Epigenetic blind spots – the role of DNA methylation dynamics in stem cell‐based models of embryogenesis

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Embryo‐like structures (stembryos) are an innovative tool, but they are hindered by experimental variability and limited developmental potential. DNA methylation is crucial for mammalian development, but its status in stembryo models is poorly characterized.

Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

An unexpected alternative viologen electron mediator site in tungsten‐containing formate dehydrogenase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
An unexpected alternative interaction site for ethyl viologen was identified in formate dehydrogenase 1 from Methylorubrum extorquens. Combined mutagenesis, kinetic analysis, and docking revealed that aromatic residues near an iron–sulfur cluster enable flavin mononucleotide‐independent electron transfer, offering a framework for engineering improved ...

Predictive equations are inaccurate to assess caloric needs in nonwhite adults from Chile [PDF]

, 2020
Objectives: Predictive equations are frequently used to estimate resting energy expenditure (REE) because indirect calorimetry (IC) is not always available and is expensive. The aim of this study was to determine the concordance between the estimation of

Concordance between hypoxic challenge testing and predictive equations for hypoxic flight assessment in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients prior to air travel

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2016
Background: Patients with chronic pulmonary diseases are at increased risk of hypoxemia when traveling by air. Screening guidelines, predictive equations based on ground level measurements and altitude simulation laboratory procedures have been ...

Cell geometry and membrane protein crowding constrain Escherichia coli growth rate, overflow metabolism, respiration, and maintenance energy

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The physical dimensions and shape of bacterial cells define the surface area available to acquire nutrients and the volume available for synthesizing proteins and DNA. Here, we use computational systems biology to decode the importance of cell geometry as a major determinant of prokaryotic phenotype, including growth rate and metabolic efficiency. This

Body Composition’s Association with Resting Energy Expenditure Prediction in a Large Population Sample from Different Age Groups, Sex, and Physical Activity Levels

Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology
Background: Resting energy expenditure (REE) represents 60–75% of total daily energy expenditure and is mainly determined by fat-free mass (FFM). Indeed, the predictive equations vary according to FFM techniques and population characteristics. Therefore,
