TLDR
Data indicate that the bioelectrical impedance technique is a reliable and valid approach for the estimation of human body composition and further validation of this method is recommended in subjects with abnormal body composition.About:

Fat-free mass in chronic illness: comparison of bioelectrical impedance and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry in 480 chronically ill and healthy subjects.
TL;DR: The present results suggest that BIA is relevant in the clinical assessment of body composition, but BIA formulas appropriate to the subject pool must be used for evaluation of FFM and fat mass.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that BIA may be a useful method for estimating TBW when fluid shifts are equilibrated and electrolyte concentrations are unchanged, but it is not a valid technique for assessing FM and FFM under these conditions.

Body composition in adolescent athletes.
TL;DR: This article has set out to provide basic knowledge about body composition in athletic and nonathletic adolescents and young adults and to provide the practicing physician with methods of making body composition assessment.

Basiliximab (simulect) for the treatment of steroid-resistant rejection in pediatric liver transpland recipients: a preliminary experience1
Marion M. Aw,Rhiannon Taylor,Anita Verma,A Parke,A Baker,D. Hadzic,Paolo Muiesan,M. Rela,N D Heaton,G. Mieli-Vergani,Anil Dhawan +10 more
TL;DR: Five of seven pediatric liver transplant recipients with SRR experienced successful outcomes with basiliximab treatment without major side effects, indicating that it is a safe alternative to OKT3 and other antilymphocyte antibodies.

The Analysis of Variance
TL;DR: In this paper, the basic theory of analysis of variance by considering several different mathematical models is examined, including fixed-effects models with independent observations of equal variance and other models with different observations of variance.

Densitometric analysis of body composition: revision of some quantitative assumptions*
TL;DR: It is shown that in a system consisting of two additive components which are mixed but the densities of which are known, the determination of the density of the system allows one to calculate the proportional masses of the two components.
