An Evaluation of Commonly Used Surrogate Baseline Creatinine Values to Classify AKI During Acute Infection.
INTRODUCTION: Classification of acute kidney injury (AKI) requires a premorbid baseline creatinine, often unavailable in studies in acute infection. METHODS: We evaluated commonly used surrogate and imputed baseline creatinine...

Choice of sprint start performance measure affects the performance-based ranking within a group of sprinters
Sprint start performance has previously been quantified using several different measures. This study aimed to identify whether different measures could influence the performance-based ranking within a group of 12 sprinters, and...

Modeling the stance leg in two-dimensional analyses of sprinting
Two-dimensional analyses of sprint kinetics are commonly undertaken but often ignore the metatarsalphalangeal (MTP) joint and model the foot as a single segment. Due to the linked-segment nature of inverse dynamics analyses, the...

Detecting meaningful body composition changes in athletes using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry
Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) imaging is considered to provide a valid and reliable estimation of body composition when stringent scanning protocols are adopted. However, applied practitioners are not always able to...
