  • Evaluation of Body Composition Parameters Using Various Diagnostic Methods: a Meta Analysis Study T
    Obesity Medicine 16 (2019) 100150 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Obesity Medicine journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/obmed Review Evaluation of body composition parameters using various diagnostic methods: A meta analysis study T ∗ Richa Rashmi, U. Snekhalatha Department of Biomedical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering and Technology, SRMIST, Kattankulathur, Chennai, 603203, Tamil Nadu, India ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: Aim: The systematic study aims to provide a brief summary of existing techniques and technological advances Body composition used for measuring the body composition in an individual. Obesity Methods: The different techniques used for the assessment of body composition parameters were discussed in the Fat mass index study as follows: densitometry, plethysmography, isotope dilution, whole body 40K counting, anthropometric, Total body water bioelectrical impedance analysis, ultrasound, DEXA, CT, MRI and thermal imaging. Adipose fat tissue Results: In the thermal imaging method, the percentage difference in abdominal skin temperature between Visceral fat tissue normal and obese subject was found to be 4.45%. In ultrasound imaging, we obtain three bands of white layers which act as an interface between skin-fat, fat-muscle and muscle-bone. The subcutaneous fat tissue and muscle thickness was measured as 4.23 mm and 31.75 mm respectively. The MRI of an abdomen region was performed at the site of the L3-L4 disc and the subcutaneous adipose tissue volume was measured as 1955.11 cm3. Conclusion: The proposed study summarises the benefits and drawbacks of different techniques, as each tech- nique has its own pros and cons. Among the imaging modalities studied, non-invasive imaging method such as thermal imaging and ultrasound was found to be a feasible imaging technique for the assessment of body composition in an individual.

  • Runaway American Dream, Hope and Disillusion in the Early Work
    Runaway American Dream HOPE AND DISILLUSION IN THE EARLY WORK OF BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN Two young Mexican immigrants who risk their lives trying to cross the border; thousands of factory workers losing their jobs when the Ohio steel industry collapsed; a Vietnam veteran who returns to his hometown, only to discover that he has none anymore; and young lovers learning the hard way that romance is a luxury they cannot afford. All of these people have two things in common. First, they are all disappointed that, for them, the American dream has failed. Rather, it has become a bitter nightmare from which there is no waking up. Secondly, their stories have all been documented by the same artist – a poet of the poor as it were – from New Jersey. Over the span of his 43-year career, Bruce Springsteen has captured the very essence of what it means to dream, fight and fail in America. That journey, from dreaming of success to accepting one’s sour destiny, will be the main subject of this paper. While the majority of themes have remained present in Springsteen’s work up until today, the way in which they have been treated has varied dramatically in the course of those more than forty years. It is this evolution that I will demonstrate in the following chapters. But before looking at something as extensive as a life-long career, one should first try to create some order in the large bulk of material. Many critics have tried to categorize Springsteen’s work in numerous ‘phases’. Some of them have reasonable arguments, but most of them made the mistake of creating strict chronological boundaries between relatively short periods of time1, unfortunately failing to see the numerous connections between chronologically remote works2 and the continuity that Springsteen himself has pointed out repeatedly.
