Decreased lactate and potassium levels in natural moisturizing factor from the stratum corneum of mild atopic dermatitis patients are involved with the reduced hydration state.

BACKGROUND: Atopic dermatitis (AD) shows dry skin. Water-soluble, low molecular weight components, collectively known as natural moisturizing factor (NMF), play an important role in maintaining the stratum corneum (SC) hydration. Previous studies focused on reduced levels of free amino acids (FAAs) in NMF from AD skin. It remains unknown, however, whether other NMF components are [...]

Is whole-body hydration an important consideration in dry eye?

Purpose. To identify if whole-body hydration plays an important role in dry eye (DE). We hypothesized that individuals classified as DE have higher plasma osmolality (Posm), indicating suboptimal hydration, compared with those classified as non-DE. Methods. Using a hospital-based observational cross-sectional design, assessment of DE and hydration was performed upon admission in 111 participants (N [...]

FLUID INTAKE AND THE RISK OF BLADDER CANCER: RESULTS FROM THE SOUTH AND EAST CHINA CASE-CONTROL STUDY ON BLADDER CANCER

Although several studies have assessed the association between total fluid intake, specific drinks and bladder cancer, no firm conclusions can yet be drawn. Four hundred thirty two bladder cancer cases and 392 frequency matched hospital-based controls recruited in the South and East of China between October 2005 and June 2008 were interviewed on their intake [...]

Hydration Status, Fluid Intake and Electrolyte Losses in Youth Soccer Players

The purpose of the study was to determine the hydration status, fluid intake and electrolyte losses of 21 male professional youth soccer players (age 17.1 Â± 0.7 yr) training in a cool environment. Pre- and post training measurements of body mass, urine (freezing point osmolality method) and sweat concentration (flame emission spectroscopy) were collected. Fourteen [...]

Adequate oral fluid intake in hospitalized stroke patients: does viscosity matter?

PURPOSE: Sufficient intake of oral fluids to meet hydration needs is a critical recovery issue for patients hospitalized post stroke. Concerns for adequate oral fluid intake are generally focused on dysphagic patients restricted to thickened liquids; however, fluid intake patterns in stroke patients receiving thin liquids are unknown. METHOD: This study examines the oral fluid [...]

The effect of a meal and water loading on heart rate variability in children with functional dyspepsia

BACKGROUND: Alteration in autonomic function has been implicated as a possible pathophysiologic mechanism in functional dyspepsia (FD) in adults.nnMETHODS: This was a two-part study. For the first part of the study, nine children with FD and 28 controls underwent heart rate variability (HRV) analysis for 30 min baseline and for 60 min following a test [...]

Symptoms of heat illness in surface mine workers.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the symptoms of heat illness experienced by surface mine workers. METHODS: Ninety-one surface mine workers across three mine sites in northern Australia completed a heat stress questionnaire evaluating their symptoms for heat illness. A cohort of 56 underground mine workers also participated for comparative purposes. Participants were allocated into asymptomatic, minor or [...]

Hydration effects on thermoregulation and performance in the heat.

During exercise, sweat output often exceeds water intake, producing a water deficit or hypohydration. The water deficit lowers both intracellular and extracellular fluid volumes, and causes a hypotonic-hypovolemia of the blood. Aerobic exercise tasks are likely to be adversely effected by hypohydration (even in the absence of heat strain), with the potential affect being greater [...]

Nurse-physician communication concerning artificial nutrition or hydration (ANH) in patients with dementia: a qualitative study.

Aims and objectives. To explore nurses' experiences with nurse-physician communication during artificial nutrition or hydration (ANH) decision-making in hospitalised patients with dementia. Background.â€‚ Artificial nutrition or hydration decision-making often occurs in patients with dementia. Effective communication between professionals is extremely challenging in this population, because these patients are unable to communicate their treatment wishes. Design.â€‚ [...]

Urine specific gravity in exercisers prior to physical training.

UrineÂ specificÂ gravityÂ (USG) is used as an index of hydration status. Many studies have used USG to estimate pre-exercise hydration in athletes. However, very little is known about the pre-exercise hydration status of recreationalÂ exercisers. The purpose of the present study was to measure the pre-exercise USG in a large sample of recreationalÂ exercisersÂ who attended 2 different fitness centers [...]
