Influence of diuretic-induced dehydration on competitive running performance.
A diuretic drug (40 mg of furosemide) was utilized to study the effects of dehydration (D) on competitive running performance, without prior thermal or exercise stress. Eight men competed in randomized races of 1,500, 5,000, and 10,000 m, while normally hydrated (H) and with mean plasma volume reductions of 9.9, 12.3, and 9.9%, respectively. As a result of the reduced [...]
Evaluation of a Clinical Dehydration Scale in Children Requiring Intravenous Rehydration.
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the reliability and validity of a previously derived clinical dehydration scale (CDS) in a cohort of children with gastroenteritis and evidence of dehydration. METHODS: Participants were 226 children older than 3 months who presented to a tertiary care emergency department and required intravenous rehydration. Reliability was assessed at treatment initiation, by comparing [...]
EFFECTS OF ROOIBOS TEA, BOTTLED WATER, AND A CARBOHYDRATE BEVERAGE ON BLOOD AND URINARY MEASURES OF HYDRATION AFTER ACUTE DEHYDRATION
Rooibos tea contains polyphenol antioxidants, including flavonoids and phenolic acids that are potent free radical scavengers and has purported benefits for accelerated rehydration. The objective was to evaluate the effects of three different drinks (rooibos tea, bottled water, and a carbohydrate beverage) on blood and urinary markers of hydration after acute dehydration in collegiate wrestlers. [...]
BODY COMPOSITION, HYDRATION, AND RELATED PARAMETERS IN HEMODIALYSIS VERSUS PERITONEAL DIALYSIS PATIENTS
Aims: Maintaining euvolemia is an important goal in patients on renal replacement therapy. However, adequate assessment of volume status in clinical practice is hampered by a lack of accurate measuring tools. A new multifrequency bioimpedance tool has recently been validated. This study compares volume status in peritoneal dialysis (PD) and hemodialysis (HD) patients in a [...]
A META-ANALYSIS OF OUTCOMES OF HYDRATION INTERVENTION ON PHONATION THRESHOLD PRESSURE
OBJECTIVES: Vocal fold hydration is purported to promote optimal biomechanical characteristics of vocal fold mucosa, increase efficiency of vocal fold oscillation, and enhance voice quality. The purpose of this work was to determine the magnitude and consistency of the effect of vocal fold hydration on vocal fold function across published clinical studies. METHODS: We completed [...]
TOTAL BODY WATER AND FAT-FREE MASS: EVALUATION OF EQUATIONS BASED ON BIOELECTRICAL IMPEDANCE ANALYSIS IN INFANTS AND YOUNG CHILDREN IN INDIA
The association of early postnatal growth with diseases in adults such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes and CHD has generated interest in studying postnatal growth. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a useful measure to estimate total body water (TBW) and fat-free mass (FFM). We evaluated three published equations (Fjeld et al. (Pediatr Res (1990) 27, [...]
THE IMPACT OF TIMING OF MAXIMAL CRYSTALLOID HYDRATION ON EARLY GRAFT FUNCTION DURING KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION
BACKGROUND: Early graft function is crucial for successful kidney transplantation. Maintaining adequate hydration is complicated by rapid movement of water to the extravascular space. We designed this study to test the effect of maximal hydration during graft ischemia time on early renal function. METHODS: Forty adult patients with chronic renal failure underwent renal transplantation from [...]
HOW TO ENSURE PATIENT OBSERVATIONS LEAD TO EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT OF OLIGURIA
Fluid balance is essential for normal functioning of the body. Oliguria (poor urine output) is usually associated with low circulatory blood volume (hypovolaemia), and can be a sign that a patient is acutely ill and deteriorating.
