Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the estimation and distribution of body surface area (BSA) among 179 adults, addressing concerns about the accuracy of existing estimation formulas.
- - The authors analyzed various BSA formulas and introduced enhanced coefficients, resulting in a significant reduction in errors (at least 30.5% in mean absolute error and 21.1% in maximum error) compared to traditional methods.
- - The findings suggest that a single universal BSA formula is impractical due to individual differences, highlighting the need for new, more accurate estimation models for diverse populations.
Harmful Internet use (HIU) describes unintended use of the Internet. It could be both self-harm and harming others. Our research goal is to develop a more accurate method for measuring HIU by this novel peer assessment.

Based on best practice in other fields and recent insights in infectious disease epidemiology, one can maximise the predictive performance of such forecasts if multiple models are combined into an ensemble. Here, we report on the performance of ensembles in predicting COVID-19 cases and deaths across Europe between 08 March 2021 and 07 March 2022.

Methods: Patients with AMI (n = 27) who underwent PCI were analyzed using impedance cardiography (ICG). ICG data were collected continuously (beat by beat) during the whole PCI procedure and thereafter at every 60 s for the next 24 h.
Article Synopsis
- - Body Surface Area (BSA) is crucial in medical areas like chemotherapy and transplantology, as it impacts treatment plans and drug dosages.
- - There are various formulae for calculating BSA, but discrepancies can be significant, with differences of up to 0.5 m² for an average adult, making the choice of formula vital for patient safety.
- - An analysis of 25 BSA formulae highlighted the challenges in selection, showing that using the wrong formula could potentially influence patient mortality, particularly in those with atypical body shapes or in children.
