Primary care providers (PCPs) are increasing their use of evidence-based medicine (EBM) in the care they give patients. They evaluate the available evidence to determine if it applies to their patients and seek to complement [...]
INTRAVENOUS VERSUS ORAL REHYDRATION IN ATHLETES
Fluid is typically administered via intravenous (IV) infusion to athletes who develop clinical symptoms of heat illness, based on the perception that dehydration is a primary factor contributing to the condition. However, other athletes also [...]
BODY FLUID VOLUME AND NUTRITIONAL STATUS IN HEMODIALYSIS: VECTOR BIOELECTRIC IMPEDANCE ANALYSIS
Protein-energy malnutrition and hypervolemia are major causes of morbidity and mortality in patients on chronic hemodialysis (CHD). The methods used to evaluate nutritional status and volume status remain controversial. Vector bioelectric impedance analysis (vector- BIA) [...]
