Scaling of computed tomography body composition to height: relevance of height-normalized indices in patients with colorectal cancer

Justin C. Brown, Steven B. Heymsfield, Bette J. Caan

Summary: This study quantified the scaling relationship between body composition (including skeletal muscle, visceral adipose tissue, subcutaneous adipose tissue, and total abdominal adipose tissue) measured by a single-slice axial CT image and height in patients with colorectal cancer. The findings revealed that the scaling powers differ between males and females, particularly in muscle area, which could impact the development of height-adjusted body composition indices in cancer patients.

Filtration Rates and Scaling in Demosponges

Hans Ulrik Riisgard, Poul S. Larsen

Summary: Demosponges are filter-feeding organisms composed of modular units. The filtration rate of demosponges is related to their size, but the relationship varies depending on the type of sponge. Small single-osculum sponges exhibit a scaling relation between filtration rate and volume, while multi-oscula sponges and large single-osculum sponges have different scaling relationships. The observed decline in volume-specific filtration rate from small to large sizes is discussed.

The relationship between eDNA particle concentration and organism abundance in nature is strengthened by allometric scaling

M. C. Yates, D. M. Glaser, J. R. Post, M. E. Cristescu, D. J. Fraser, A. M. Derry

Summary: Estimation of organism abundance is challenging in ecology. A study integrating allometric scaling coefficients into models of eDNA concentration and abundance demonstrated that individual body size distribution can influence population-level eDNA production rates. Incorporating allometric scaling may improve predictive models of eDNA concentration as an indicator of abundance in nature.

Energy consumption and economic growth: Does it accord with the allometric scaling law in biology?

Jiayu Wang, Wei Han, Guotong Liu, Rongxue Ma, Shuao Yu

Summary: This study examines the relationship between energy consumption and economic growth in China from 1980 to 2011, as well as the situation in the Eastern, Middle, and Western regions of China from 1980 to 2008. Significant regional differences in energy intensity were found, and the overall results do not support the hypothesis that China's energy use accords with the biological relationship mentioned. Alternative relationships were found to provide a better fit to the data.

Predicting the response of disease vectors to global change: The importance of allometric scaling

Louise S. Norgaard, Mariana Alvarez-Noriega, Elizabeth McGraw, Craig R. White, Dustin J. Marshall

Summary: The distribution and abundance of disease vectors like mosquitoes are changing due to factors such as climate change, invasions, and vector control strategies. Most models currently ignore the nonlinear relationship between wing length and reproduction in mosquitoes, leading to potential biases in population growth estimates. Incorporating hyperallometric relationships in future disease vector models is crucial for accurately predicting changes in mosquito distribution.

Summary: This study compared the characteristics of muscle-recorded transcranial electrical stimulation motor-evoked potentials (mTc-MEPs) recorded with surface and subcutaneous needle electrodes. The results showed that although the amplitude and area under the curve (AUC) were significantly higher in subcutaneous needle recordings, the motor thresholds and elicitability were similar for both electrode types. Additionally, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and variability between consecutive amplitudes were not significantly different. Therefore, surface electrodes can be considered a good alternative to needle electrodes for spinal cord monitoring.
