VALIDITY OF URINE-BLOOD HYDRATIONAL MEASURES TO ASSESS TOTAL BODY WATER CHANGES DURING MOUNTAINEERING IN THE SUB-ARCTIC.
Mountaineering involves high altitude and cold exposure which are each associated with significant levels of dehydration (via altitude-cold diuresis, high energy expenditures, and poor access to water). The purpose of this study was to identify [...]
IMPACT OF HYDRATION STATUS ON BODY COMPOSITION AS MEASURED BY DUAL ENERGY X-RAY ABSORPTIOMETRY IN NORMAL VOLUNTEERS AND PATIENTS ON HAEMODIALYSIS.
To evaluate the influence of hydration status on the estimation of body composition using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), six normal volunteers and seven patients on maintenance haemodialysis were investigated using two different DXA machines (Lunar [...]
IMPROVED THERMOREGULATION CAUSED BY FORCED WATER INTAKE IN HUMAN DESERT DWELLERS.
Residents of the Negev desert in Israel sustain a mild state of dehydration. Low, concentrated urine outputs, high incidence of kidney diseases and high hematocrit ratios characterize this population. Educational programs to increase the awareness [...]
