measurement of subcutaneous fat thickness and longissimus dorsi muscle through ultrasound to estimate carcass composition in live moghani sheep
to investigate the possibility of using ultrasound to estimate carcass composition, 38 moghani male lambs were made use of. subcutaneous fat depth (usft) and longissimus dorsi muscle depth (ulmd) and area (ulma) were assessed in the site between 12th and 13th ribs by using ultrasound equipped with an 8 mhz probe. the lambs were then slaughtered. carcasses were cold stored at 4°c for 24 hours an...
متن کاملSkin and subcutaneous thickness at injecting sites in children with diabetes: ultrasound findings and recommendations for giving injection.
BACKGROUND Children who inject insulin need clear guidelines as to the length of needle best for them. We studied the distance from surface to muscle in children in order to make needle choices which are evidence-based. METHODS One hundred one children with type 1 diabetes were divided into three groups according to age: 2-6, 7-13, and 14-17 yr. The thickness of skin and subcutaneous (SC) tis...
متن کاملApplication of a Sub-set of Skinfold Sites for Ultrasound Measurement of Subcutaneous Adiposity and Percentage Body Fat Estimation in Athletes.
Body composition assessment is an integral feature of elite sport as optimization facilitates successful performance. This study aims to refine the use of B-mode ultrasound in the assessment of athlete body composition by determining suitable sites for measurement. 67 elite athletes recruited from the Human Performance Laboratory, University College Cork, Ireland, underwent dual measurement of ...

متن کاملReliability of Measuring Subcutaneous Fat Tissue Thickness Using Ultrasound in Non-Athletic Young Adults.
BACKGROUND Obesity is a major health burden worldwide. A method of assessing uncompressed subcutaneous adipose tissue thickness (USATT) using ultrasound is widely used in sports medicine. However, studies on the reliability of the method in non-athletic people are lacking. We aim to determine the reliability of the human observer in measuring the USATT in non-athletic people. MATERIAL AND MET...
