AGE-RELATED FAILURE OF VOLUME-PRESSURE-MEDIATED VASOPRESSIN RELEASE
Osmoreceptor sensitivity, as estimated by the plasma vasopressin (AVP) response to hypertonic saline infusion, increases with age. We studied volume-pressure sensitivity, as estimated by the plasma AVP response to orthostasis, in healthy young (19-31 yr [...]

EFFECTS OF WATER TEMPERATURE AND FLAVORING ON VOLUNTARY DEHYDRATION IN MAN
Effects of water temperature and flavoring on fluid consumption and body weight losses were studied in fourteen unacclimatized men (21-33 years) during 6 hr of treadmill exercise (4.8 km.hr-1, 5% grade for 30 min.hr-1) in [...]
ACUTE CONFUSIONAL STATES AND DEMENTIA IN THE ELDERLY: THE ROLE OF DEHYDRATION/VOLUME DEPLETION, PHYSICAL ILLNESS AND AGE
A prospective study was undertaken to investigate the incidence and aetiology of acute confusional states in physically ill old people. The subjects were 71 patients aged 70 years or over who were admitted as emergencies [...]
