prediction equation for calculating fat mass in young indian adults
purpose accurate measurement or prediction of fat mass is useful in physiology, nutrition and clinical medicine. most predictive equations currently used to assess percentage of body fat or fat mass, using simple anthropometric measurements were derived from people in western societies and they may not be appropriate for individuals with other genotypic and phenotypic characteristics. we develo...
متن کاملKinetic nomograms assist individualization of drug regimens.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Therapeutic drug monitoring is applied to a range of drugs. To predict an appropriate dosing regimen, models based on Bayesian techniques have been used. However, this approach requires a well trained professional and sophisticated software. The objectives of this study were first to develop kinetic nomograms as a useful tool to achieve individual drug blood concentrat...
متن کاملOptimal Anti-infective Drug Doses for Children
OPTIMAL ANTI-INFECTIVE DRUG DOSES FOR CHILDREN Anti-infective agents are among the most commonly prescribed drugs in children. What is considered the optimal dose of an anti-infective agent is determined by how the child handles the drug and the resulting drug concentration in the body (pharmacokinetics, PK) as well as by the effect of the drug on the target pathogen (pharmacodynamics, PD). Amo...

متن کاملComparison of MCNP4C, 4B and 4A Monte Carlo codes when calculating electron therapy depth doses
ABSTRACT Background: accurate methods of radiation therapy dose calculation. There are different Monte Carlo codesfor simulation of photons, electrons and the coupled transport of electrons and photons. MCNPis a general purpose Monte Carlo code that can be used for electron, photon and coupledphoton-electron transport.Monte Carlo simulation of radiation transport is considered to be one of the ...
