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 [...]
THE VALUE OF HYDRATION AND ACETYLCYSTEINE IN THE PREVENTION OF CONTRAST-INDUCED NEPHROPATHY: A POTENTIALLY CATASTROPHIC COMPLICATION OF THE PERCUTANEOUS CORONARY INTERVENTIONS
Contrast induced nephropathy (CIN) remains a common complication of coronary angiography. There is no specific treatment once contrast induced acute renal failure develops, and management must be as for any cause of acute tubular necrosis, [...]
