A new validation study on Quark RMR was published by Pennsylvania State University researchers on the Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (JPEN). A prospective, observational, N-of-1 trial was conducted to validate COSMED Quark RMR, a new-generation indirect calorimeter against Deltatrac, the gold standard device that is no longer manufactured. The study design was chosen to minimize...
A new study from the Polish Warsaw University of Life Sciences (WULS – SGGW) assesses the validity of Fitmate PRO in measuring energy expenditure at rest of obese women. The aim of the analysis was to present the possibilities of using the Fitmate PRO monitor in the assessment of resting metabolic rate and basal energy expenditure with a method of indirect calorimetry in a group of 91...
A study by the Australian Alfred Hospital focused on the importance of the measurement of Resting Energy Expenditure of burn patients using indirect calorimetry. The aim of this retrospective observational study was to compare the accuracy of three predictive equations used for measuring energy expenditure (EE) to Indirect Calorimetry. Trained dietitians performed Indirect Calorimetry using...
A study by the Swedish Karolinska Instituet has been published on Clinical Nutrition Journal showing excellent results for Quark RMR in measuring indirect calorimetry in mechanically ventilated patients. The study objectives were focused on the necessity of validating new instruments for indirect calorimetry in mechanically ventilated patients, after that production of the Deltatrac has now...
A new study has been published to evaluate selected factors influencing resting energy expenditure (REE) in obese female subjects. The study, published on the June issue of the World Journal of Experimental Medicine, was carried out by the Department of Experimental Medicine, Medical Physiopathology, Food Science and Endocrinology Section, Food Science and Human Nutrition Research Unit,...
