Reducing hydration-linked events in nursing home residents.
The authors used a quasi-experimental treatment and control group design with 49 participants from four nursing homes to test the effectiveness of an 8-week hydration intervention in reducing hydration-linked events (HLEs). A Kaplan Meier survival [...]
Effects of carbohydrate-electrolyte content of beverages on voluntary hydration in a simulated industrial environment.
This study examined the effects of ingesting beverages of varying electrolyte-carbohydrate (ECHO) composition on hydration, sensory response, physiological function, and work performance during 4 hours of simulated industrial work for subjects wearing impermeable protective clothing [...]
A novel imaging technique to measure capillary-refill time: improving diagnostic accuracy for dehydration in young children with gastroenteritis.
BACKGROUND: Assessment of dehydration in young children currently depends on clinical judgment, which is relatively inaccurate. By using digital videography, we developed a way to assess capillary-refill time more objectively. OBJECTIVE: Our goal was to [...]
