The red cell mass was measured in 44 normal subjects and showed a closer correlation with total body water or surface area than with body weight. The results obtained in a group of patients with polycythaemia, however, still overlap with the normal range. When the total number of circulating red cells is measured these patients form a group quite separate from the normals. The diagnostic value ...

OBJECTIVE This study tested the hypothesis that bioelectrical impedance vectors, group and individual, are valid indicators of total body water (TBW) and hydration status in women experiencing fluid gain and loss during and after pregnancy. METHODS We measured TBW, assessed with D(2)O dilution, and resistance (R) and reactance (Xc), determined with 800 microA at 50 kHz and standardized for he...

Alterations in total body sodium (TBSodium) that covered the range from moderate deficit to large surplus were induced by 10 experimental protocols in 66 dogs to study whether large amounts of Na+ are stored in an osmotically inactive form during Na+ retention. Changes in TBSodium, total body potassium (TBPotassium), and total body water (TBWater) were determined by 4-day balance studies. A rat...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this article is to describe a steady-state free precession (SSFP) sequence for fat suppressed cine cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). A rapid phase-modulated binomial water excitation (WE) pulse is utilized to minimize repetition time and acquisition time. METHODS Three different water-excitation pulses were combined with cine-SSFP for evaluation. The frequency...

In this chapter, we consider a perceptible variable that is related to τ, but is different from τ. The variable is phase, φ. φ is similar to τ in that both are timing variables and both are ratios of spatial variables that could be state variables of a dynamical system. As such, either could be used to drive a damped mass-spring system to yield an autonomous dynamical organization. Finally, bot...
