The geographical distribution of cancer.
STUDY of the geographical distribution of cancer has long been recognized to be one way of obtaining clues to its causation, and a great deal of work has been carried out to determine the incidence of different types of cancer in different parts of the world. Detailed incidence rates have been obtained for more than fifty populations, either by national or regional cancer registries or by speci...

متن کاملPressure distribution on the body surface of swimming fish.
Although there are a number of papers on how fish swim (Gray, 1957; Aleev, 1969; Lighthill, 1969), we have been unable to find any measurements of the pressure on the body surface measured while a fish is swimming. A preliminary calculation using the Pitot equation indicated that the pressure against the anterior surface of the fish, expressed in centimetres of water, would be approximately equ...
متن کاملComparison of BMI and the body mass/body surface ratio: is BMI a biased tool?
For decades we are used to judge our body composition by using the body mass index (BMI). Since the BMI denominator can be considered as a substitute for body surface area (BSA), the body mass/body surface ratio (BM/BSA) can be calculated. For a distribution of BM/BSA values comparable to the distribution of normal BMI values, the range 35.5-39.9 kg/m2 is chosen as normal, although it covers BM...
