He says that some man doused him with carbolic acid, his arms and legs are taken away, he has no body. Speech is difficult, the language is braided, the pronunciation of words is not clear. A patient of high stature, severe body build, undermined nutrition. Visible mucous membranes are faint, anemic. Subcutaneous fat is poorly developed.

AbstractThe main objective of the study was to determine the relationship between physique, maturation and some environmental factors. The study was conducted in Warsaw, between 2012 and 2013 in randomly selected schools. The material included 171 girls, aged 12-20 years. Body height and weight, upper and lower extremity length, subcutaneous fat folds on arm, subscapular and abdominal, circumferences of arm, chest, waist and hip were measured. Body proportion indices were calculated. The questionnaire form provided information on parental education and profession, and the number of children in family. Girls were asked about age at menarche, number of daily meals, level of physical activity, participation is sport, and level of stress at home and at school. The principal component analysis was applied and 4 factors were extracted from the set of living condition characteristics (F1 - Parental education & father’s occupation, F2 - Mother’s occupation and the number of children, F3 - Stress, F4 - Physical activity and number of daily meals). Regression analysis allowed to evaluate the association of body build characteristics and age at menarche with the four factors. Factor 1 and 4 were the only ones which showed a statistically significant association with body build. The results showed that girls who were taller, with smaller arm and waist circumferences and less adiposity came from families with higher parental education and better father’s profession. Taller stature, longer legs and less adiposity characterized girls who were more physically active and consumed more than three meals a day.

On February 19, 1890, patient EI, 50 years old, was admitted to the hospital, extremely exhausted; subcutaneous fat layer is poorly developed, visible mucous membranes are pale. Regula appeared at the age of 15, the first birth at the age of 21. Dysmenoric phenomena, which appeared 10 years ago, have significantly increased since last summer. Pain is localized mainly in the left groin area. Hemorrhages have become more profuse, showing almost daily lately. An objective examination revealed a tumor in the lower abdomen, completely smooth, uniformly dense consistency, the size of a child's head. The body of the uterus is directly connected to it. The outer opening of the portionis vaginalis passes the tip of the finger. The vaults are free.

The article analyzes the results of clinical research and the state of the indicators of the metabolism of high-yielding cows of PP «AGRO-EXPRESS-SERVICE» in the Mlynivskyi district of the Rivne region due to the lack of biogenic microelements (Co, Cu, Zn).During the clinical examination of cows, the characteristic symptoms of microelementosis (Co, Cu, Zn) were found: loss of appetite, taste distortion, pallor of visible mucous membranes (in 65 cows); rude dull hair; low-elastic skin, subcutaneous fat is not sufficiently expressed; intestinal peristalsis weakened, hypotonic prehistoras. In 95 cows, pulse rate, respiration, scarring and body temperature were on the lower limit of physiological oscillations; only 20.8% of cows had tachycardia (85–95 per 1 minute) and tachypnea (35–45 per 1 minute). In addition, in 45.8% of cows fattening below average, the constitution is dense. The productivity of animals was sharply reduced. In 33.3% of cows, the curvaceousness and shrinkage of wool were noted. In 6.8% of animals, alotriophagia was observed. Due to lack of cobalt in 15% of cows revealed symptoms of osteodystrophy: tight course, convexity of the edges, pain of the joints, softening of the tail vertebrae.The violation of the exchange of Cu, Cu, and Zn in cows was characterized by a decrease in blood serum protein content by 14.8% (P < 0.001), albumin by 28.5%; (P < 0.001), carotene by 33.3%, glucose by 21.4% (P < 0.001), reserve alkalinity by 13.7%, increase in the content of globulins by 14.6% (P < 0.001), bilirubin by 24.6%, creatinine by 17.8% (P < 0.001) and cholesterol by 27.8%.

SUMMARY 1. The 24 hr excretions of 17-ketosteroids (17-KS), 17-ketogenic steroids (17-KGS) and creatinine of 101 healthy young men have been measured on two occasions several weeks apart to determine what, if any, relationship these bore to the subjects' body build. 2. Body build was assessed by anthropometric measurements, somatotyping, and a new method detailing the limb widths of fat, muscle and bone. 3. The week-to-week personal constancy coefficient of each of these excretions has been calculated. It is highest for 17-KS (0·83), and slightly lower for 17-KGS (0·73) and creatinine (0·72). 4. Correlations have been calculated both for between-persons relationships ('stable' or 'habitual'individuals' values) and within-persons relationships (daily individual co-fluctuations). The stable values of 17-KS and 17-KGS excretions are inversely related, individuals habitually high in one being habitually low in the other. This relationship becomes more marked when allowances are made for surface area and urine volume differences. 5. Excretion of 17-KS is significantly related to body weight and to mesomorphy. The multiple correlation with muscle width and weight was 0·56. 6. Excretion of 17-KGS is significantly related to weight and height. This is due to a positive relation with width and length of the limb bones (multiple correlation 0·55). There is no relation with muscle mass or subcutaneous fat thickness. 7. On the basis of these findings speculations are made on the possible role of 17-KS in maintaining muscle bulk and of corticosteroids in maintaining the contents of the medulla of the limb bones. 8. There is a significant, though quantitatively small, correlation between general body hirsutism, muscle bulk and 17-KS output. There is a similar-sized but inverse relation between penis size and amount of subcutaneous fat. 9. Recent findings on the relation of physique to resistance to tuberculosis are discussed in the light of the above findings. These point to the conclusion that more bodily measurements than simple weight and height must be taken if useful information as to causes of the physique-disease relationship is to be obtained.

1. Height, weight, skinfold thicknesses and mid-arm circumference were measured in 540 males and 117 females aged 20-24 years who took part in the 1st African University Games, held at the University of Ghana, Legon. Body fat content, Quetelet's index (weight ÷ height × 100; Khosla & Lowe (1967)) and mid-arm muscle circumference were derived from the measurements taken.2. The physique or body-build of the subjects as assessed by Quetelet's index showed that both male and female subjects from the various countries were of medium body-build. The body fat content for males was between 10 and 12% with the exception of the Egyptians (12.8%) while that of females was between 23-24%.3. Body measurements of the subjects compared favourably with that of international standards (WHO, 1966) with the exception of the triceps skinfold thickness which was only approximately 60% of the standard value.4. The low values for triceps skinfold thickness are probably due to differences in the distribution of subcutaneous fat at different sites in the body as found between caucasian and non-caucasian population groups. The results are discussed in relation to the findings of other workers on ethnic differences in skinfold thickness.

The aim of the study was to assess changes in body build of young Warsaw pupils during the last 14 years and coming from different living conditions and lifestyle. The material comprised youth attending high school (177 individuals) aged 14-16 years. The questionnaire form included parents' education, the number of: family members, offspring, rooms, daily meals; smoking habits of parents; assessment of physical activity and stress at home, school, and high school grades. Measurements included: height and weight, upper and lower extremity length, trunk length, arm, chest, waist and hip circumferences, three subcutaneous fat folds. BMI and WHR were calculated. The living conditions were reduced by principal component analysis to three factors (family size, living conditions, environmental stress). Regression analysis showed the relation of 3 factors to body build. The current youth were characterized by greater: weight, BMI, fat tissue, trunk length and body circumferences than their coevals 14 years before. In more numerous families youth had greater trunk length. In worse living conditions they were characterized by shorter legs and more fat tissue on arm. In stress conditions youth presented greater hip circumference.
