2. Bioelectrical impedance analysis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioelectrical_impedance...

   Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a method for estimating body composition, in particular body fat and muscle mass, where a weak electric current flows through the body, and the voltage is measured in order to calculate impedance (resistance and reactance) of the body. Most body water is stored in muscle.

3. Air displacement plethysmography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Displacement_Plethysmo...

   Air displacement plethysmography (ADP, also known as whole-body air displacement plethysmography) is a recognized and scientifically validated densitometric method to measure human body composition. ADP is based on the same principles as the gold standard method of hydrostatic weighing , but through a densitometric technique that uses air ...

4. Antibiotic sensitivity testing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antibiotic_sensitivity_testing

   Once a bacterium has been identified following microbiological culture, antibiotics are selected for susceptibility testing. [5] Susceptibility testing methods are based on exposing bacteria to antibiotics and observing the effect on the growth of the bacteria (phenotypic testing), or identifying specific genetic markers (genetic testing). [6]

   The BRI is a novel body composition test first proposed in 2013, that some experts believe offers a more accurate alternative to BMI that is similarly easy to perform.

6. Composition of the human body - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_of_the_human_body

   Body composition may be analyzed in various ways. This can be done in terms of the chemical elements present, or by molecular structure e.g., water, protein, fats (or lipids), hydroxyapatite (in bones), carbohydrates (such as glycogen and glucose) and DNA. In terms of tissue type, the body may be analyzed into water, fat, connective tissue ...

7. Blood culture - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_culture

   Blood is normally sterile. [1] The presence of bacteria in the blood is termed bacteremia, and the presence of fungi is called fungemia. [2] Minor damage to the skin [3] or mucous membranes, which can occur in situations like toothbrushing or defecation, [4] [5] can introduce bacteria into the bloodstream, but this bacteremia is normally transient and is rarely detected in cultures because the ...

   Graphic depicting the human skin microbiota, with relative prevalences of various classes of bacteria. The human microbiome is the aggregate of all microbiota that reside on or within human tissues and biofluids along with the corresponding anatomical sites in which they reside, [1] [2] including the gastrointestinal tract, skin, mammary glands, seminal fluid, uterus, ovarian follicles, lung ...
