A whole-body model to distinguish excess fluid from the hydration of major body tissues

TLDR
A model to determine fixed hydration constants of primary body tissues enabling ExF to be calculated from whole-body measurements of weight, intracellular water (ICWWB), and extracellularWater (ECWWB) is developed.

Assessment methods in human body composition

TL;DR: There is an ongoing need to perfect methods that provide information beyond mass and structure (static measures) to kinetic measures that yield information on metabolic and biological functions.

The mortality risk of overhydration in haemodialysis patients

TL;DR: The results of this study indicate that the hydration state is an important and independent predictor of mortality in chronic HD patients secondary only to the presence of diabetes.

Accuracy of bioelectrical impedance consumer devices for measurement of body composition in comparison to whole body magnetic resonance imaging and dual X-ray absorptiometry.

TL;DR: Because of the lower agreement between foot-to-foot BIA and DXA or MRI for the assessment of body composition in individuals, tetrapolar electrode arrangement should be preferred for individual or public use.

Importance of Whole-Body Bioimpedance Spectroscopy for the Management of Fluid Balance

TL;DR: The objective normohydration target could be achieved in prevalent haemodialysis patients leading to an improvement in hypertension and reduction of adverse events, and for the first time an objective and relevant target for clinical dry weight assessment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of Fluid Management Guided by Bioimpedance Spectroscopy on Cardiovascular Parameters in Hemodialysis Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial

TL;DR: Assessment of fluid overload with bioimpedance spectroscopy provides better management of fluid status, leading to regression of left ventricular mass index, decrease in blood pressure, and improvement in arterial stiffness.

Basic anatomical and physiological data for use in radiological protection : reference values

J. Valentin
TL;DR: This report presents detailed information on age- and gender-related differences in the anatomical and physiological characteristics of reference individuals to provide needed input to prospective dosimetry calculations for radiation protection purposes for both workers and members of the general public.

Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry for total-body and regional bone-mineral and soft-tissue composition.

TL;DR: Bone mineral density (BMD) and soft-tissue composition of the total body and major subregions were measured with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and there were no significant differences in mean results or in precision errors between the two speeds.
