A SYSTEMATIC DATA REVIEW OF THE COST OF REHYDRATION THERAPY

Dehydration secondary to acute gastroenteritis is a commonly encountered condition among patients presenting to physicians' offices and hospital EDs. Treatment options consist of oral rehydration therapy (ORT), intravenous rehydration therapy (IVRT) and subcutaneous rehydration therapy (SCRT). Although most patients with dehydration can be effectively treated in an outpatient setting, hospitalization is frequently warranted, with estimated [...]

A META-ANALYSIS OF OUTCOMES OF HYDRATION INTERVENTION ON PHONATION THRESHOLD PRESSURE

OBJECTIVES: Vocal fold hydration is purported to promote optimal biomechanical characteristics of vocal fold mucosa, increase efficiency of vocal fold oscillation, and enhance voice quality. The purpose of this work was to determine the magnitude and consistency of the effect of vocal fold hydration on vocal fold function across published clinical studies. METHODS: We completed [...]

FUNCTIONAL SKIN ADAPTATION IN INFANCY – ALMOST COMPLETE BUT NOT FULLY COMPETENT

Early postnatal life is a period of active functional reorganization and cutaneous physiological adaptation to the extrauterine environment. Skin as the outermost organ of mammalians is endowed of multiple functions such as protection, secretion, absorption and thermoregulation. Birth stimulates the epidermal barrier maturation and the skin surface acidification especially in premature infants. In full-term infants [...]

EFFECT OF SALT AND WATER BALANCE ON RECOVERY OF GASTROINTESTINAL FUNCTION AFTER ELECTIVE COLONIC RESECTION: A RANDOMISED CONTROLLED TRIAL

BackgroundnnLow concentrations of albumin in serum and long gastric emptying times have been returned to normal in dogs by salt and water restriction, or a high protein intake. We aimed to determine the effect of salt and water balance on recovery of gastrointestinal function after elective colonic resection in human beings.nMethodsnnWe randomly allocated ten patients [...]

INHALED MANNITOL IMPROVES THE HYDRATION AND SURFACE PROPERTIES OF SPUTUM IN PATIENTS WITH CYSTIC FIBROSIS

The airway mucus in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) is dehydrated and adhesive and accumulates in the airways, resulting in chronic inflammation, infection, and progressive loss of lung function. Inhaled mannitol improves mucus clearance and, when administered over 2 weeks, it improves lung function in CF (Jaques et al. Chest. 2008;133(6):1388-1396). The changes in the [...]

EXERCISE IN A HOT ENVIRONMENT: COMPARISON OF TWO DIFFERENT FLUID INTAKE PATTERNS

Aim. Extensive research has been undertaken in the area of exercise and hydration. Most work has focused on prehydration. Less is known about different fluid intake patterns during exercise and its effect in thermoregulatory variables in hot environments. This study attempted to determine if ingesting fluid either in a single bolus or intermittently during exercise [...]

A CASE REPORT – SEVERE ELECTROLYTE DISTURBANCES IN AN EIGHT WEEK OLD BOY

Hyponatremia is the most common electrolyte abnormality in children and underlying causes are many. It is most often caused by excessive salt loss from the gut but is also associated with severe systemic disorders in which there is actual or apparent aldosterone deficiency, such as congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), which is the most common inherited [...]

TOTAL BODY WATER AND FAT-FREE MASS: EVALUATION OF EQUATIONS BASED ON BIOELECTRICAL IMPEDANCE ANALYSIS IN INFANTS AND YOUNG CHILDREN IN INDIA

The association of early postnatal growth with diseases in adults such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes and CHD has generated interest in studying postnatal growth. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a useful measure to estimate total body water (TBW) and fat-free mass (FFM). We evaluated three published equations (Fjeld et al. (Pediatr Res (1990) 27, [...]
