HEAT SHOCK proteins (HSP) represent one of the most conserved groups of proteins
throughout evolution [reviewed in Refs 1 and 21. They have been found in all organisms …

The heat shock response is a conserved, immediate but transient cellular response to
elevated temperatures and other types of injury, which consists of the transcriptional …

Existing equations for bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) are of limited use when
subjects age or become overweight because these equations were developed in young …

OBJECTIVES: Fat-free mass (FFM) and fat mass (FM) are important in the evaluation of
nutritional status. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a simple, reproducible method …

Objective: To determine (1) lean and fat body compartments, reflected by fat-free mass
(FFM), appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASMM), body cell mass (BCM), total body …

The aim of the strontium ranelate (SR) for treatment of osteoporosis (STRATOS) trial was to
investigate the efficacy and safety of different doses of SR, a novel agent in the treatment of …

We designed a prospective study to evaluate the ability of dimercaptosuccinic acid cortical
scintigraphy and ultrasonography to detect renal parenchymal lesions in children with …

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate body composition parameters, including fat‐free mass (FFM),
appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASMM), relative skeletal muscle mass (RSM) index …

Reliable attenuation correction represents an essential component of the long chain of
modules required for the reconstruction of artifact‐free, quantitative brain positron emission …

PURPOSE: Tumor uptake of 2-[18F] fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) may relate to outcome
in cancer patients. Pretreatment FDG uptake was evaluated as a predictor of local control …
