BACKGROUND Exact drug dosing in isolated limb perfusion (ILP) and infusion (ILI) is essential. We developed and evaluated a model for calculating the volume of extremities and compared this model with body weight- and height-dependent parameters. METHODS The extremity was modeled by a row of coupled truncated cones. The sizes of the truncated cone bases were derived from the circumference mea...

The fundamental characteristics of agricultural products are appearance, size, and weight, which affect their market value, consumer preference, choice. Thus, food industries seek rapid, simple, nondestructive approaches to assess real-time measurements at the post-harvest stage before packaging for market. While sorting grading may be performed by humans, it is unreliable, time-consuming, comp...

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the placental weight, volume, and density, and investigate the significance of placental ratios in pregnancies complicated by small for gestational age (SGA), preeclampsia (PE), and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). METHODS Two hundred and fifty-four pregnant women were enrolled from August 2005 through July 2013. Participants were divided into four g...

1. The gram molecular weight of a substance may be calculated from the osmotic pressure of its solution. 2. The radius of the hydrated molecule and, hence, the gram molecular volume of the hydrated solute may be determined from diffusion measurements. The hydration of the molecules may, therefore, be calculated from osmotic pressure and diffusion measurements. 3. Hydration may also be determine...

Correlations were made between weight change (as an index of volume loss) and blood pressure (BP) reduction before and after hydrochlorothiazide treatment. A total of 343 patients with mild to moderate hypertension (95-114 mm Hg) received hydrochlorothiazide alone. The diuretic was titrated from 50 to 100 to 200 mg daily as needed until the diastolic BP fell below 90 mm Hg (goal BP) or side eff...

The objective of this study was to determine whether maternal nutrition and fetal and placental size program blood pressure. A longitudinal study linking the maternal anthropometric measurements of the first antenatal visit, ultrasound data of placental and fetal size, anthropometry at birth, and childhood growth and blood pressure was performed. The subjects were 428 women who attended the ant...

background: this study investigated the protective effects of aqueous extracts of anogeissus leiocarpus (dc) guill & perr (combretaceae) and terminalia avicennioides guill & perr (combretaceae) root barks, as well as their 1:1 (w/w) mixture on liver redox and haematological parameters of diethylnitrosamine-treated rats. methods: rats were orally administered distilled water, diethylnitrosamine ...
