To the Editor.— This letter is in response to the article entitled "Weight and Menstrual Function in Patients with Eating Disorders and Cystic Fibrosis."1 Under "Methods," the authors describe a method for calculating percent ideal body weight by plotting the patient's height on standard growth curves derived from the data of Hamill et al,2 and the ideal body weight being the weight at the same percentile for age. Using the tables of Hamill to calculate percentages of height and weight for females older than 10 years and males older than 11½ years should be done cautiously.

Classification of human weight can be determined by body mass index. The body mass index can be calculated by dividing the height by the square of the body weight. According to researchers, this is less practical, so it needs to make a tool that can be used to determine ideal body weight more practically. One way is to use an Android smartphone camera. The camera is used to capture the image of the human body. Then the image is processed by using digital image processing and by using certain algorithms, so it may conclude the person's ideal weight category. The data used in this study are human photos, body weight and height. There are four stages to determine the weight and height based on the image. First, performing an analysis of the calculation of the derived formulas. Second, analyzing the edge detection algorithm. Third, conducting unit convertion, and fourth, proposing several algorithms to calculate the height and weight used to determine the ideal body weight. The results of the evaluation show that Algorithm C (measuring the width of an object starting with the height of the image adjusting half of the height of the object in the image) is the best algorithm with deviation value of 1.85% of the height and 8.87% of the weight, while the system accuracy rate in determining the ideal body weight has reached 78.7%.

The broiler chicken farm at RRMC has good maintenance management and feeding procedures. The productivity level of the livestock had been achieved and it meets the standard market weight of 2 kg for one maintenance period of 35 days. The shape of the coop in the RRMC is a semi-monitor whose coop location faces the rising sun, so the chicken can get direct morning sunlight. Preparation of the coop at the time of DOC comes is very important because the coop should be sterile from various seeds of disease. Whether it comes from fungi, viruses, bacteria and protozoa. In addition, during maintenance, employees must be diligent in controlling the existing chicken in the coop and see the condition of feed and drink that must be given ad libitum in order to produce the ideal body weight according to the wishes of the entrepreneur and its customers. The results of the research, it can be concluded that maintenance management in RRMC very clear and in accordance with existing procedures, whether it is feeding, handling of diseases affected by disease, vaccine and drugs.

Abstract Introduction Fluid administration is considered a fundamental part of early sepsis treatment. Despite abundant research, fundamental questions about the amount of fluids to be given remain unanswered. Recently, the idea of adjusting the fluid load to the ideal body weight emerged, as obesity rates are increasing, and fluid overload was proven to increase mortality. Aim of the study The study aimed to determine whether advanced haemodynamic monitoring supports the adjustment of the initial fluid load to the ideal body weight (IBW). Methods Seventy-one patients with sepsis and septic shock were enrolled in the study. The initial fluid resuscitation was performed using local protocols. The haemodynamic status was assessed after the initial fluid load by transpulmonary thermos-dilution technique and the renal outcome recorded at twenty-four hours. Results 68.6% of the patients included in the study had weight disorders ranging from BMI+20% to morbid obesity. Before IBW adjustment, only 49.3% received the 30 ml/kg fluid load recommended by Surviving Sepsis Campaign Guidelines (2016) (SSC). After IBW adjustment, 70.4% received the recommended fluid dose. The difference in fluid load/kg before and after the bodyweight adjustment was statistically significant (p<0.01). After the initial fluid load, the majority of the macro haemodynamic parameters were in the targeted range. There was no statistically significant difference between the urinary output outcome at 24 hours or the 28 days mortality rates between the patients resuscitated by the SSC and those who received less fluid. Conclusions Advanced haemodynamic monitoring was in favour of adjusting the initial fluid load to the IBW. There were no statistically significant differences either in the urinary output outcome at twenty-four hours, or in the twenty-eight-day mortality rates between the patients who received the 30 ml/kg IBW and those who received less than 30 ml/kg IBW.

This study aimed to prove the effect of 100% exercise intensity on weight gain before and after exercise. This research is motivated by the efforts made by people to achieve the ideal body weight. One of the efforts made is by doing exercises. Proper practice is essential. The quality of the exercise is indicated by the intensity of the exercise performed. The study used experimental methods. The research sample was eight students—measurement of body weight before and after exercise. Perform using 100% intensity circuit training based on maximal tests. Descriptive statistics analyzed data. The results showed that they always experience an average weight loss of 2.8. Based on these results, it can reference that circuit training with 100% load could be used to lose weight. Recommendations, for maximum results, it is necessary to record macro nutritional intake, to know a proper diet for weight loss purposes. Key words: overweight, obesity, BMI, circuit training, maximul load

ABSTRACT The 24-h sleep-wake pattern of plasma LH was studied in 18 patients with severe weight loss. Sixteen patients had anorexia nervosa, one suffered from schizophrenia and one had a gastric ulcer. The age of the patients ranged from 13 to 31 years. Seventeen women and one boy participated in the study. Their weight ranged from 51 to 73 % of the ideal body weight (IBW) at the first 24-h study which was at one week after admission to the hospital. Blood was taken through an indwelling venous catheter every 30 min. The patients' weight increased under behavioural therapy and they were re-studied when they had gained approximately 10 % IBW and again prior to release from the psychiatric ward. The LH patterns were classified as infantile, pubertal or adult. All patients except for two had an iniantile pattern at the first study. Except for the two patients who had no anorexia nervosa, all developed a pubertal and/or an adult pattern. All patients whose weight was below 69 % IBW had an infantile LH pattern. Adult patterns were only seen when the body weight was greater than 80 % IBW. The increase of the average 24-h LH values was slower the older the patients were and the longer they had been anorectic.
