“…Subjects had to remove all metal parts of clothing and accessories. Body composition parameters: total body fat percentage (TBF), total lean mass [ 21 ], and fat distribution: VAT was analysed using the software enCORE TM (version 17) and CoreScan TM (GE Healthcare © , Madison, WI, USA). Reference standards for BFD and VAT were set according to the study by Ofenheimer et al [ 22 ].…”

Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) accumulation, is a part of a polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) phenotype. Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) provides a gold standard measurement of VAT. This study aimed to compare ten different indirect methods of VAT estimation in PCOS women. The study included 154 PCOS and 68 age- and BMI-matched control women. Subjects were divided into age groups: 18–30 y.o. and 30–40 y.o. Analysis included: body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), waist/height 0.5 (WHT.5R), visceral adipose index (VAI), lipid accumulation product (LAP), and fat mass index (FMI). VAT accumulation, android-to-gynoid ratio (A/G), and total body fat (TBF) was measured by DXA. ROC analysis revealed that WHtR, WHT.5R, WC, BMI, and LAP demonstrated the highest predictive value in identifying VAT in the PCOS group. Lower cut-off values of BMI (23.43 kg/m2) and WHtR (0.45) were determined in the younger PCOS group and higher thresholds of WHtR (0.52) in the older PCOS group than commonly used. Measuring either: WHtR, WHT.5R, WC, BMI, or LAP, could help identify a subgroup of PCOS patients at high cardiometabolic risk. The current observations reinforce the importance of using special cut-offs to identify VAT, dependent on age and PCOS presence.

Craniosynostosis is a common congenital craniofacial deformity caused by premature ossification and closure of one or more cranial sutures. Craniosynostosis will not only affect the normal development of the skull, but also may cause a variety of complications, damage the nervous system, and cause long-term effects on the development of physical and mental health. Therefore, it is particularly important to provide new ideas for clinical treatment by studying the rehabilitation methods of craniosynostosis, and to improve the cure rate. To this end, this paper studies the early rehabilitation methods after craniosynostosis surgery and designs a comprehensive early rehabilitation process and corresponding comprehensive early rehabilitation measures after surgery. The comparative data also shows that after comprehensive early rehabilitation nursing measures, the duration of the postoperative swelling of sick children was reduced and the degree was significantly reduced, which alleviated the discomfort of sick children; and the time of sick children spent in ICU treatment and monitoring was reduced, and the separation time between sick children and their parents was shorten, is of great significance to the postoperative rehabilitation of craniosynostosis. In addition, the total cost of hospitalization was reduced accordingly, which greatly increased the satisfaction of patients.
