The data support the concept that the comparatively low specific gravity of fat makes the measurement of the specificgravity of the body mass valid for the estimation of fat content.

The present paper gives the results of a number of determinations of residual air determination by the open circuit method, in normal subjects and patients with chronic cardiac or chronic pulmonary disease, and suggests further significance of some of the data which this method provides.

Experimental Biology and MedicineUse of Helium for Determination of Pulmonary Capacity
39 Citations1941George R. Meneely, Nolan L. Kaltreider
A preliminary report is made at this time of a new method employing helium, because it has all the advantages and none of the dangers of the hydrogen method.
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciencesDetermination of lung volume: a simple constant volume modification of Christie’s method
38 Citations1939F. J. C. Herrald, J. McMichael
Determination of lung volume by Christie’s method involves only the recording of an ordinary spirometer tracing and the analysis of the oxygen and nitrogen content of the spirometer gas at the end of a period of rebreathing.

35 Citations1923Donald D. Van Slyke, Carl Binger
This work has been able to avoid the difficulty of modifying the principle, and basing the calculation not upon the dilution of one gas, but upon the volume ratio of two gases.

ometry of functional residual air is made in a group of cases of pulmonary fibrosis and other conditions tending to reduce residual air volume, modified by the additional use of alveolar air samples taken both before and at the end of the period of breathing in the closed circuit.
