Clinical update on renal aquaporins.
Following the discovery of the aquaporin-1 water channel over a decade ago, molecular techniques have been developed to examine the role of renal aquaporin water channels under numerous physiological and pathological conditions. The present article [...]
Clinical and laboratory evaluation and management of children with vomiting, diarrhea, and dehydration.
Dehydration is responsible for the morbidity and, rarely, mortality secondary to vomiting and diarrhea from acute gastroenteritis. Despite the abundance of literature in the last 20 to 30 years focused on the treatment of dehydration [...]
Effect of hydration status on thirst, drinking, and related hormonal responses during low-intensity exercise in the heat.
During exercise-heat stress, ad libitum drinking frequently fails to match sweat output, resulting in deleterious changes in hormonal, circulatory, thermoregulatory, and psychological status. This condition, known as voluntary dehydration, is largely based on perceived thirst. [...]
Disorders of body water homeostasis.
Disorders of body fluids are among the most commonly encountered problems in the practice of clinical medicine. This is in large part because many different disease states can potentially disrupt the finely balanced mechanisms that [...]
