TOTAL BODY WATER CHANGES AFTER AN EXERCISE INTERVENTION TRACKED USING BIOIMPEDANCE SPECTROSCOPY: A DEUTERIUM OXIDE COMPARISON.
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) for the estimation of total body water (TBW) has advantages over isotope dilution techniques, including cost, portability, and ease of use. The aim of the current study was to [...]
A RANDOMIZED CLINICAL TRIAL COMPARING THE EFFECT OF MATERNAL INTRAVENOUS HYDRATION AND PLACEBO ON THE AMNIOTIC FLUID INDEX IN OLIGOHYDRAMNIOS
OBJECTIVE: To compare the treatment of acute intravenous hydration with placebo in term pregnant women manifesting oligohydramnios. METHODS: All patients with oligohydramnios who met the inclusion criteria were offered participation in this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled [...]
RAPID MEASUREMENT OF TOTAL BODY WATER TO FACILITATE CLINICAL DECISION MAKING IN HOSPITALIZED ELDERLY PATIENTS.
BACKGROUND: Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a noninvasive rapid and simple bedside technique that can be used to predict total body water (TBW), extracellular water (ECW), and intracellular water (ICW) and identify altered fluid distribution [...]
HYDRATION OF FAT-FREE MASS IN HEALTHY WOMEN WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE EFFECT OF PREGNANCY
Background: Knowledge of the biological variability of the hydration factor (HF), ie, the ratio between total body water and fat-free mass, is important when calculating total body fat by means of the commonly used two-component [...]
