Body roundness index(BRI) might be a more accurate measurement than body mass index(BMI) for predicting weight-related health risks... BMI has long been the standard to classify a person's body weight as too low, normal, overweight, or obese. While BMI often reflects a person's body fat amount, it doesn’t account for fat distribution or the amount of muscle mass.... BRI addresses these shortcomings by focusing on a person's height, waist size, and hip size. By taking weight out of the equation, BRI provides a better indicator of how much belly fat(visceral fat) surrounds the organs inside the abdomen. High amounts of belly fat are linked to high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and some cancers. 3, record 2, English, - body%20roundness%20index

La cystatine C est une protéine de 122 acides aminés impliquée [...] dans la modulation du système immunitaire. Elle est produite de façon constante par les cellules nucléées de l’organisme, librement filtrée au niveau glomérulaire et entièrement réabsorbée et dégradée dans le tubule proximal, sans clairance urinaire. Étant sans rapport avec la masse musculaire, la concentration plasmatique de la cystatine C ne semble dépendre que du débit de filtration glomérulaire (DFG). Elle s’est donc présentée [...] comme un nouveau marqueur biologique permettant d’évaluer la fonction rénale, en particulier dans les cas où les formules basées sur la créatinine étaient limitées, c'est-à-dire dans les situations où le rapport entre le poids et la masse musculaire est modifié. 2, record 14, French, - cystatine%20C

Le premier risque pour les individus ensevelis est de développer un syndrome d'écrasement ou « crush syndrome » lors de leur délivrance. L'écrasement prolongé des membres par des poutrelles de béton ou des pierres arrête en effet la circulation du sang. Les muscles, non irrigués, libèrent des quantités de molécules toxiques lors du rétablissement de la circulation.
