... model of body composition (consisting of fat, protein, total body water and body mineral) from a combination of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and total body water measured by deuterium oxide dilution, allowing assessment of body protein stores without the effect of variation in hydration. Patients...

...W. J. Hannan; S. J. Cowen; C. E. Plester; K. C. H. Fearon; A. Debeau 1. Measurements of extracellular and total body water provide useful information on the nutritional status of surgical patients and may be estimated from whole-body bio-impedance measurements at different frequencies. 2...

...W. J. Hannan; S. J. Cowen; K. C. H. Fearon; C. E. Plester; J. S. Falconer; R. A. Richardson 1. Multi-frequency bio-impedance analysis has been used to estimate extracellular and total body water in a heterogeneous group of 43 surgical patients (23 males, 20 females). 2. Radioisotope-dilution...

...C. J. Edmonds; T. Smith; R. D. Griffiths; J. Mackenzie; R. H. T. Edwards 1. Total body potassium ( 40 K method) and total body water and exchangeable sodium (both by isotope dilution) were determined in 26 boys, aged 5-17 years, with muscular dystrophy. Total body potassium values were compared...

...J. H. Bauer; C. S. Brooks 1. Erythrocyte mass, plasma volume (PV), extracellular fluid volume (ECFV) and total body water were simultaneously measured in 30 normotensive and 30 normal-renin hypertensive Caucasian male subjects for accurate determination of the presence or absence of a disorder(s...

...S. Kojo Addae; S. Dakubu; E. T. Larmie; R. Boatin; E. H. Belcher 1. Standard radioisotope dilution techniques employing [ 3 H]water and [ 22 Na]sodium chloride have been used to determine the total body water and total exchangeable sodium of 20 male and 10 female normal Ghanaians (Africans) aged 19...
