 This program calculates Ideal Body Weight (IBW), Lean Body Weight (LBW), Body Surface Area (BSA), Body Mass Index (BMI), Adjusted Body Weight (ABW) and Daily Calorie Needs (DCN) and interprets the results in terms of underweight, normal weight, overweight and obesity. It conforms to the standards set by the National Institute of Health (NHI), the Federal guidelines on the identification, evaluation, and treatment of overweight and obesity in adults released by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), in cooperation with the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), USA. The calculator can be used in the treatment of overweight, for the calculation of medication doses and many other medical interventions. |
The Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) risk calculator estimates the risk of contracting CVD within 8 years, using data of the famous Framingham study. The risk factors identified in this study were systolic blood pressure, cigarette smoking, electrocardiographic evidence of enlargement of the heart, glucose intolerance (diabetes) and blood cholesterol. A general logistic function was computed to predict the several different cardiovascular diseases and to identify people at high risk who need preventive treatment.
This program serves as a summary of the most important normal blood value ranges referred to in medical practice. It may also be of use for those not medically trained. The biological functions of the different constituents of blood and blood serum and the possible significance of values falling outside the normal range for medical diagnosis and treatment are briefly discussed. Includes Headman with the permission of Wolfgang Rautenberg to get an improved display of the blood values and explanatory text on the 49g+. Also includes version for the original 49G.
Extended Time, Date, Calendar and Astronomical routines for the HP 48G(X) and 49G(+). Part of these routines are ported from the invaluable HP-41C CALENDARS Users' Library Solutions. The astronomical routines include calculation of times of sunrise, transit and sunset, moon phases, and seasons.
Calendar time and astronomical routines for the HP 49G(+). Part of these routines are ported from the invaluable HP-41C CALENDARS Users' Library Solutions. The astronomical routines include calculation of times of sunrise, transit and sunset, moon phases, and seasons. Version 2 is more user friendly than version 1.1 in that INFORM and INPUT forms and a CHOOSE box have been written for the most important conversions. In version 2.1 user input is further improved. The separate subroutines have been maintained for those who want to use them for their own calculations.
