25
Q

what is active response?

A

bioelectricity; occurs when bio tissue provokes electricity from ionic activities inside cells (ie. signals in heart, from brain)

26
Q

what is passive response?

A

occurs when bio tissues are simulated thru an external electrical current source

27
Q

3 types of bioimpedance devices:

A

single frequency, multiple frequency, bioimpedance spectroscopy

28
Q

similarities between diff BIA?

A

safe, noninvasive, inexpensive, precise

29
Q

diffs between diff BIA?

A

underlying theory, potential applications, validity in various clinical populations

30
Q

what is impedance?

A

(Z); the obstruction to the flow of an alternating current, composed of R (resistance) and Xc (reactance)

31
Q

what is resistance?

A

pure opposition of conductor to flow of current; determined by shape (length and SA) and material type

32
Q

what is reactance?

A

opposition to current flow caused by capacitance produced by cell membranes

33
Q

what is capacitance:

A

ability of non conducting object (ie. cell membranes) to save electric charges

34
Q

in general, ____ is ability of current to flow through fluid and tissues, and ____ reflects interaction of current with membrane interfaces like cell men

A

resistance; reactance

35
Q

when current applied at low frequency, what happens?

A

current does not penetrate cell membrane, which acts as an insulator ; therefore current passes thru the ECF which is responsible for measured reactance of body–>impedance is purely resistive and is function of ECW

36
Q

when current applied at high frequency, what happens?

A

with alternating current, cell membrane charges and discharges at rate of frequency; as frequency ^ the amount of ICF measured increases and reactance (Xc) increases

37
Q

at an infinitely high frequency (>10000kHz) what happens?

A

charge and discharge of current thru the cells becomes so fast that effects of cell membrane capacitance becomes insignificant and impedance becomes purely resistive; (both ECW and ICW fully measured = TBW)

38
Q

fundamental assumption of TBW?

A

73% of FFM is ICF+ECF

39
Q

___ considered non-conductor of electrical charge whereas ____ is the conducting volume that helps the passing of electric current due to conductivity of electrolytes dissolved in body water

A

fat mass; fat free mass

40
Q

what is single frequency BIA?

A

just apply one frequency of 50kHz, current passed between electrodes placed on hand and foot in standard tetrapolar position; measures weighted sum of ECW and ICW (not measure TBW)

41
Q

SF-BIA used to assess ____ in normal hydrated subjects, but cannot differentiate between ______

A

TBW and FFM; ECW and ICW

42
Q

analysis of bioimpedance obtained at multi frequencies, based on premise that ECW and TBW can be assess by exposing it to low and high frequency electric currents (low to predict ECW and high to predict TBW)

A

MF-BIA

43
Q

body characteristics and their influence on assessment and recommendations for the execution and interpretation of the test

A

ethnicity, age, gender, hydration, obesity, severe malnutrition, neuro disorders

44
Q

takes measurements at 250 diff frequencies from 5-1-1000 kHz

A

BIS

45
Q

instead of linear equations, BIS uses ___ to calculate resistance at 0 and infinite frequences; these are applied to _____ to generate estimates of _____

A

complex modelling ; complex algorithms; ICW and ECW (subsequently FFM and FM)

46
Q

optimal testing conditions for BIA

A

no caffeine /alcohol/exercise 24 hours before testing, fasting 8 hours before testing, remove metal, void bladder, normal fluid/electrolyte status, arms separated from trunk by 30 degrees and legs by 45 degrees, taken at 5 minutes after assuming supine position

47
Q

limitations of BIA equations

A

integrates various body segments with variable physical effects of hydration, fat fraction, geometrical boundary conditions etc. on tissue conductivity ; ECW:ICW ratio is factor known to limit applicability of predictive equations generated by BIA to populations with varying hydration; difficulties of validating BIA in diff age and ethnic groups and clinical conditions with abnormal hydration states

48
Q

A

2-2.5kg; 1.5-1.8kg

49
Q

actual error of ___kg considered ideal

A

0-1.8

50
Q

BIA equations should not be used without prior verification against reference methods in subject population studied, such as:

A

DXA and doubly labelled water

51
Q

why BIA one of the most common and widely used methods to assess body comp?

A

low p.t./client burden, expedient, more precise than skin folds, portable, relatively inexpensive, training is minimal, precise technique, non invasive,

52
Q

same instrument for BIA should be used with consistent replication of measurement conditions to control for ____

A

inter and intra subject variation

53
Q

3 aspects for body comp analysis implied by whole body BIA approach

A

1) changes of impedance are closely related to changes of FFM of limbs 2) changes of FFM of trunk not adequately described by whole body impedance measurements 3) large changes in fluid volume within ab cavity have only minor influence on measurement of FFM or BCM

54
Q

advantages of DXA?

A

short scan time, allows for regional analysis and whole body, can put animals in without anesthesia

55
Q

disadvantages to DXA?

A

exposure to radiation, unable distinguish specific tissue depots, changes in BW reflected in DXA as changes in lean tissue

56
Q

advantages of CT?

A

short scan time, able diff. between tissues, good imaging resolution, less risk motion artifact due to scan speed, great for clinical populations

57
Q

disadvantage CT?

A

radiation, analysis laborious and requires training, CT viewing cutoff with morbid obesity

58
Q

advantage MRI?

A

provides better soft tissue detail vs CT, no radiaiton

59
Q

disadvantage MRI?

A

longer scan time (30min), more sensitive to human mvmt, can’t be used with pacemaker /metal implants, claustrophobia

60
Q

advantage of MRS:

A

can detect functional and metabolic heterogeneity within single tissue, non invasive but assess in vivo metabolic changes , higher sensitivity to detect changes

61
Q

disadvantage of MRS:

A

only really for research, many MRI systems not equipped with spectroscopy systems, currently no methodology/technique to measure O2 metabolism in vivo
