Aligning Lung Function Equipment and Reference Values in Adults Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Background: When introducing new equipment or reference equations into the lung function laboratory, systematic z-score deviations could arise due to local differences in population or equipment. Objective: To propose a workable method for aligning reference equations with lung function equipment. Method: Using two cases of equipment transition in our laboratory as a test case, we first performed lung function testing after the transition, on ...

Normative reference values for handgrip strength, shoulder and ankle range of motion and upper-limb and lower limb stability for 137 youth judokas of both sexes Vrije Universiteit Brussel
OBJECTIVES: To provide reference values for handgrip strength, shoulder and ankle range of motion (ROM) and upper-limb and lower limb stability for youth judokas of both sexes and investigate the effects of sex and side dominance.
DESIGN: Cross-sectional.
METHODS: A total of 137 youth judokas from under-18 (n=60) and under-21 (n=77) categories of both sexes were assessed. Handgrip strength was assessed using a Jamar dynamometer, ...
Pediatric Reference Values for Tibial Trabecular Bone Mineral Density and Bone Geometry Parameters Using Peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography Vrije Universiteit Brussel Ghent University
The purpose of this study was to establish reference data, in relation to age and body height, for tibial trabecular and cortical volumetric bone mineral density, bone mineral content, and cross-sectional bone geometry in healthy children and adolescents using peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT). Over a 2-year period, 432 (207 male and 225 female) healthy children, with an age range of 5 to 19 years, from 6 different geographic ...

Haematological reference values for east African wild ungulates Institute of Tropical Medicine
Basic haematological values were obtained in the field from shot, clinically normal, wild East African ungulates. The species studied were: Thomson's gazelle (Gazella thomsonii), Grant's gazelle (Gazella grantii), blue wildebeest (Conochaetes taurinus), Coke's hartebeest (Alcelaphus buselaphus cokii), impala (Aepyceros melampus) and Burchell's zebra (Equus burchelli). Red cell parameters compared well with previous reports although the mean ...
