Disease relevance of Body Surface Area

 

High impact information on Body Surface Area

  • RESULTS: Patients in the control group and the propranolol group were similar with respect to age, weight, percentage of total body-surface area burned, percentage of body-surface area with third-degree burns, and length of time from injury to metabolic study [6].
  • METHODS: Women with bulky stage IB cervical cancers (tumor, > or =4 cm in diameter) were randomly assigned to receive radiotherapy alone or in combination with cisplatin (40 mg per square meter of body-surface area once a week for up to six doses; maximal weekly dose, 70 mg), followed in all patients by adjuvant hysterectomy [7].
  • The degree of suppression of thyrotropin secretion tended to be greater in patients treated with higher doses of bexarotene (>300 mg per square meter of body-surface area per day) and in those with a history of treatment with interferon alfa [8].
  • The mean (+/-SD) creatinine clearance rate declined from 108+/-20 ml per minute per 1.73 m2 of body-surface area at base line to 74+/-16 ml per minute per 1.73 m2 at 5 years (P<0.001) and 74+/-14 ml per minute per 1.73 m2 at 10 years (P<0.001) [9].
  • Patients in the combined-treatment group received 125 cGy twice daily, for a total of 7000 cGy, and five days of treatment with 12 mg of cisplatin per square meter of body-surface area per day and 600 mg of fluorouracil per square meter per day during weeks 1 and 6 of irradiation [10].

Associations of Body Surface Area with chemical compounds

  • Patients randomly assigned to group 1 received cisplatin (100 mg per square meter of body-surface area given intravenously on days 1 and 29) and vinblastine (5 mg per square meter given intravenously on days 1, 8, 15, 22, and 29) and then began radiation therapy on day 50 (60 Gy over a 6-week period) [26].
  • Within four weeks after surgery, six courses of intravenous cyclophosphamide (600 mg per square meter of body-surface area per course) plus either intraperitoneal cisplatin (100 mg per square meter) or intravenous cisplatin (100 mg per square meter) were administered at three-week intervals [27].
  • Each woman received an intramuscular dose of methotrexate (50 mg per square meter of body-surface area) [28].
  • Eighteen patients received one dose of doxorubicin (45 mg per square meter of body-surface area), and 97 received multiple doses totaling 228 to 550 mg per square meter (median, 360) [29].
  • The cells promoted a rapid and sustained hemopoietic recovery when transplanted after treatment with high-dose etoposide (1500 mg per square meter of body-surface area), ifosfamide (12 g per square meter), carboplatin (750 mg per square meter), and epirubicin (150 mg per square meter) [30].
 

Gene context of Body Surface Area

  • If they receive standard doses of thiopurine medications (for example, 75 mg/m2 body surface area per day), TPMT-deficient patients accumulate excessive thioguanine nucleotides in hematopoietic tissues, which leads to severe and possibly fatal myelosuppression [31].
  • Patients with greater than 30% body surface area burns had significantly reduced IL-2 production (p less than or equal to 0.05) until 60 days after injury, whereas those with smaller burns had reduced IL-2 production only at 20-29 and 30-39 days postburn [32].
  • The capacity for T cell proliferation and the expression of Tac antigen (IL-2 receptor) was assessed during the post-burn period in patients with injuries ranging from 5-68% total body surface area [33].
  • After rats underwent 30% total body surface area burn injury, they were injected with S-methylisothiourea (SMT, selective inducible NOS inhibitor), 7-nitronidazole (7-NI, selective neuronal NOS inhibitor), and nimesulide (NIM, selective COX-2 inhibitor), respectively [34].
  • Models of rhIGF-I dosing based upon body surface area (BSA) or initial IGFBP-3 resulted in predictable peak serum IGF-I levels (r = 0.78; p < 0.03) [35].
