Background: Phase angle (PhA) is a variable obtained from bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). It is highly sensitive and specific and is commonly used in clinical nutrition assessment. Recently, PhA has shown promise in predicting clinical outcomes, especially as a new indicator of mortality, but its use in pediatric research is limited.

Methods: Clinical data of 151 patients with single-origin germinomas were studied retrospectively. Z-score of height (ZSOH) at both diagnosis and the last follow-up was calculated using the WHO AnthroPlus software.
Purpose: Whether craniospinal irradiation (CSI) could be replaced by limited-field radiation in non-metastatic bifocal germinoma remains controversial. We addressed the issue based on the data from our series and the literature.
Materials And Methods: Data from 49 patients diagnosed with non-metastatic bifocal germinoma at our hospital during the last 10 years were collected.
Objective: To develop a new bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) model for analyzing body composition by using isotope dilution, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) as the reference methods in young healthy Chinese populations.
Methods: Thirty healthy participants were enrolled. Their body composition was analyzed using BIA and 3 reference methods.
Objective: In China, high-fat diets and excessive energy intake have led to an increasing prevalence of obesity which was previously uncommon. The current study examined the effects of meal replacement (MR) on weight control in overweight or obese Chinese individuals with hyperlipidemia.
Methods: Patients, 18-65 years, with body mass index 25-35 kg/m(2) and triglycerides >1.
