Several different instruments available on the market have been used for the estimation of body fat. However, many of these instruments have not been compared with reference criteria to verify their true accuracy. This study aimed to verify the validity of a bioelectrical impedance scale (OMRON-514C) for the estimation of body fat. Forty-four overweight adolescents (25 females) participated in this study, with an average age of 12.3 ± 1.1 years. All were submitted to body fat evaluations by air displacement plethysmography and bioelectrical impedance. Higher values of relative and absolute body fat were estimated by bioelectrical impedance compared to plethysmography (p < 0.05). There was no correlation between the relative body fat measurements between the two methods (r = 0.185; p = 0.228). The absolute measurements of body fat were correlated (r = 0.497, p = 0.001). Both in the measurements of relative (p= 0.034) and absolute body fat (p = 0.021), the bioelectrical impedance overestimated the measured values. Thus, in adolescents with characteristics similar to the present study, the estimate of body fat by the bioelectrical impedance (OMRON-514C) should be used with caution.Keywords: plethysmography, bioelectrical impedance, adolescents, overweight.

Abstract In this Standard of Laboratory Practice we recommend guidelines for therapeutic monitoring of cardiac drugs. Cardiac drugs are primarily used for treatment of angina, arrhythmias, and congestive heart failure. Digoxin, used in congestive heart failure, is widely prescribed and therapeutically monitored. Monitoring and use of antiarrhythmics such as disopyramide and lidocaine have been steadily declining. Immunoassay techniques are currently the most popular methods for measuring cardiac drugs. Several reasons make measurement of cardiac drugs in serum important: their narrow therapeutic index, similarity in clinical complications and presentation of under- and overmedicated patients, need for dosage adjustments, and confirmation of patient compliance. Monitoring may also be necessary in other circumstances, such as assessment of acetylator phenotypes. We present recommendations for measuring digoxin, quinidine, procainamide (and N-acetylprocainamide), lidocaine, and flecainide. We discuss guidelines for measuring unbound digoxin in the presence of an antidote (Fab fragments), for characterizing the impact of digoxin-like immunoreactive factor (DLIF) and other cross-reactants on immunoassays, and for monitoring the unbound (free fraction) of drugs that bind to α1-acid glycoprotein. We also discuss logistic, clinical, hospital, and laboratory practice guidelines needed for implementation of a successful therapeutic drug monitoring service for cardiac drugs.

Line Standard

In some physical researches it is required to measure the dimensions of a regular solid, whether parallel-sided, cylindrical, or spherical-ended, with the greatest possible accuracy. Again, in the regular work of a metrology bureau, accurate comparison of the size of an end-standard of length with reference to a line-standard is required. Until 1906 the only apparatus available for these purposes was the measuring machine made for comparing engineering gauges. In that year the writer described a machine based on the principle of electric touch, which was much more delicate than the older mechanical machines. It also had facilities for exploring the solid under test, to prove its accuracy of figure. This machine has been installed and used in the National Physical Laboratory since 1909. Improvements in it were described later. The present paper gives an outline of an improved machine of the same type embodying the experience gained in using the 1906 machine. The chief novelties are: (1) greater strength in the supporting parts, and consequent rigidity of the whole apparatus; (2) larger and much improved table to carry the solid under test; (3) improved measuring-ends; (4) an innovation for making absolute measurements, whereby the line-standard moves but the reading microscope remains fixed; (5) side girders to relieve the bed of load and so reduce friction, abrasion, and strain.
