EFFECT OF THERMO-COUPLED PROCESSES ON THE BEHAVIOUR OF A CLAY BARRIER SUBMITTED TO HEATING AND HYDRATION
The storage of high level radioactive waste is still an unresolved problem of the nuclear industry, being geological disposal the most favoured option and, naturally, the one requiring the strongest geo-mechanical input. Most conceptual designs [...]
PROGRESS AND BARRIERS FOR THE CONTROL OF DIARRHOEAL DISEASE
Discovery of intestinal sodium-glucose transport was the basis for development of oral rehydration solution, and was hailed as potentially the most important medical advance of the 20th century. Before widespread use of oral rehydration solution, [...]
IS THERE STILL A ROLE FOR MEASURING SERUM UREA IN AN AGE OF EGFR? EVIDENCE OF ITS USE WHEN ASSESSING PATIENT HYDRATION.
BACKGROUND: With the current practice of using estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) for the assessment of renal function, serum urea is arguably a redundant test. However, with little evidence, it is purported that urea can [...]
EVALUATION OF ULTRASOUND VELOCITY TO ASSESS THE HYDRATION STATUS OF WRESTLERS
The objective of this study was to evaluate the utility of ultrasound velocity (UV) to detect changes in the hydration status of wrestlers after undergoing acute dehydration and a 2-hour rehydration period. Forty-seven NCAA wrestlers [...]
