Measurement of energy expenditure.

Study and Evaluation of Formulation and Nutritional values of parenteral Nutrition Formulae of Iranian Generic Project in Ten Major General Hospitals

Abstract: Parenteral Nutrition Formulae in Iranian Generic Project were studied in 31 patients hospitalized in ten major general hospitals in Tehran and Shiraz. Estimated theoretical energy (Calculated Energy Value or CEE) using Harris- Benedict equations and applying the Cerra stress factor was compared with the amount of energy estimated via indirect calorimetric technique (Measured Energy ...

Quantifying the association between habitual energy expenditure and blood pressure.

BACKGROUND Previous studies have demonstrated an association between physical inactivity and hypertension, but the methods used to assess activity have been subjective and imprecise. Recently methods have become available allowing measurement of energy expenditure in free-living populations. Our aim was to employ these methods to assess the independent association between energy expenditure, ca...

Measurement Methods for Physical Activity and Energy Expenditure: a Review

Physical activity is defined as any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that results in energy expenditure. The benefits of physical activity for health maintenance have been well documented, especially in the prevention and management of chronic diseases. Therefore, accurate measurement of physical activity and energy expenditure is essential both for epidemiological studies and in th...

Relationship between Energy Expenditure Related Factors and Oxidative Stress in Follicular Fluid

The Effect of Spatial and Temporal Parameters on the Energy Expenditure of Orthotic Gait of Paraplegic

Objectives: Although for those spinal cord injury (SCI) patients with paralysis of the legs but not at arms, the primary means of mobility post injury is the manual wheelchair, there are many physiological and psychological advantages to standing and walking, such as improvement in respiratory function, lower limb weight bearing and preventing osteoporosis, pressure sores prevention etc. High m...

Image-compressors Performance Evaluation Based on Power Measurement

The criteria applied on the choice of the compression algorithm is generally based on distortion, compression rate, processing time and hardware limitation. On most cases, the energy expenditure is not considered, however, in some applications, the energy expenditure is a good parameter for choosing the algorithms (E.g. embedded systems that apply the use of batteries). Thus, this article propo...
