NUTRITION AND HYDRATION: RELATIONSHIP TO PRETERM MYOMETRIAL CONTRACTILITY.
Although the mechanisms responsible for the onset of preterm labor in human pregnancy are unclear, animal studies have demonstrated that decreased nutrient intake is associated with increased uterine prostaglandin F metabolite production and spontaneous uterine [...]
Recovery from prolonged exercise: restoration of water and electrolyte balance.
Rapid and complete restoration of fluid balance after exercise is an important part of the recovery process, especially in hot, humid conditions, when sweat losses may be high. Rehydration after exercise can only be achieved [...]
Regulation of the urine concentration mechanism by the oropharyngeal afferent pathway in man.
BACKGROUND: It has been reported that the oropharyngeal afferent pathway behaves as a first-order factor regulating body fluid. However, the neural mechanism has not yet been clear. This study was designed to elucidate the characteristics [...]
EFFECTS OF MATERNAL HYDRATION ON FETAL RENAL PYELECTASIS.
Fetal renal pyelectasis is a frequent finding on routine obstetrical sonography. The cause of this pelvocalyceal dilatation is often not apparent, although urinary tract obstruction is the most important condition to be excluded. One of [...]
