Body composition, total body water, isotopesAbstract
One of the most important lines of investigation in the Department of Surgery of Harvard University under the direction of Francis Moore was body composition. The amount of liquids in different body compartments was unknown until the forties of last century. Sodium, potassium or water losses could not be evaluated without knowing basal values. It was also important to know liquids' and solutes' translocation in the course of severe diseases. Moore contributions about body composition contributed to a biochemical definition of surgical disease and to knowing the requirements of severe diseases or trauma patients. This knowledge has benefited surgeons, cardiologists, pediatricians, nutritionists and veterinarians. The knowledge of body composition has conducted surgery to be performed in a frame of more safety.
