Urine was collected overnight from 2300 h until 0700 h for urinary nitrogen measurement for calculation of baseline substrate oxidation and from 0700 h until 1300 h for calculating substrate oxidation during the clamp.
Neonatal-specific computerised prescribing systems are used in order to minimise drug calculation and prescription errors, but these rely on accurate birth weight measurements for the calculation of the dosages of drugs and infusions.
The purpose of this study was to analyze the interest of oscillometric automatic vs. manual Doppler measurements, for the calculation of ankle to brachial index, after heavy-load exercise in athletes.
Eyes from a one-year-old half blood mare and a twelve-year-old draft mare, obtained directly after their death from a veterinary hospital in Helsingborg, Sweden, were used to obtain measurements for the calculation of the sensitivity of the eye.
Perhaps the most significant limitation is the lack of urinary phosphate measurements for the calculation of Tp/GFR, which may already be reduced at earlier stages of CKD than serum phosphate concentrations.
The following clinical parameters were recorded for each animal; heart rate, respiratory rate, temperature, mucous membrane colour and capillary refill time, body condition score (on a scale of 0 5; 0 = very poor, 5 = very fat) [ 21], girth and length measurements for weight calculation, and the presence or absence of dependant oedema.
Because 90Y is almost entirely a pure beta emitter, it is quite difficult to obtain pre-therapy biokinetic imaging measurements for dosimetry calculations using 90Y-DOTATOC itself.
All extrathermodynamic assumptions made for measurements and for calculations, too, furnish controversial results.
In addition, the computationally effective method was independent of the mesh size, the starting value of the assumed boundary condition and the maximum error of measurements used for calculations.
The average of the three skinfold measurements was used for calculation of percent body fat [22].
