Electrical bioimpedance is based on the opposition exerted by body tissues to the passage of an electrical current. This characteristic allows the assessment of the individual's body composition, nutritional status, and hydration status. Electrical bioimpedance can be used to estimate body composition, health-related markers, general health status, diagnosis and prognostic of diseases, evaluation of treatment progress, and others.

The Bioimpedance Formalism allows for the simultaneous study of bioelectrical parameters in the frequency and time domains, providing insight into possible relaxation processes occurring in the tissue or cell of interest. Results from the Cole-Cole analysis showed no multiple relaxation processes associated with heterogeneity, with a visible age group separation in males compared with females.

Objective: The search for other indicators to assess the weight and nutritional status of individuals is important as it may provide more accurate information and assist in personalized medicine. This work is aimed to develop a machine learning predictions of weigh status derived from bioimpedance measurements and other physical parameters of healthy younger volunteers from Southern Cuba Region.
Methods: A pilot random study at the Pediatrics Hospital was conducted.

Background: The modified Gompertz equation has been proposed to fit experimental data for direct current treated tumors when multiple-straight needle electrodes are individually inserted into the base perpendicular to the tumor long axis. The aim of this work is to evaluate the efficacy of direct current generated by multiple-electrode arrays on F3II mammary carcinoma that grow in the male and female BALB/c/Cenp mice, when multiple-straight needle electrodes and multiple-pairs of electrodes are inserted in the tumor.
Methods: A longitudinal and retrospective preclinical study was carried out.
