CONGENITAL ANOMALIES, LABOR/DELIVERY COMPLICATIONS, MATERNAL RISK FACTORS AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH PERFLUOROOCTANOIC ACID (PFOA)-CONTAMINATED PUBLIC DRINKING WATER

BACKGROUND: We have previously examined the associations between perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) exposure, birth weight and gestational age in individuals exposed to PFOA-contaminated residential drinking water from the Little Hocking Water Association (LHWA). In this investigation, we expand the scope of our analysis to examine the associations between PFOA, congenital anomalies, labor and delivery complications and [...]

A PROSPECTIVE ASSESSMENT OF RENAL IMPAIRMENT AFTER PREPARATION FOR COLONOSCOPY: ORAL SODIUM PHOSPHATE APPEARS TO BE SAFE IN WELL-HYDRATED SUBJECTS WITH NORMAL RENAL STATUS

The outcome of colonoscopy is highly dependent upon the quality of bowel cleansing prior to the procedure. Oral sodium phosphate solutions (OSPS) or preparations containing polyethylene glycol (PEG) are generally employed. However, the safety of administering OSPS prior to colonoscopy has been questioned because of the potential for renal failure. AIM: To compare rates of [...]

INDICATIONS FOR A MEDIUM MINERAL HIGH BICARBONATE WATER (CERELIA) IN UROLOGY.

To increase water intake is an useful prophylactic treatment for many urologic diseases, such as urolithiasis or urinary tract infection. An high water intake increases urinary volume with a dilutional effect that involves a consequent decrease of the concentrations of urinary solutes and a reduction of the levels of the salts involved in the lithogenic [...]

Limitations of Data on Fluid Intake

Background: The Dietary Reference Intakes for Water, Potassium, Sodium, Chloride, and Sulfate, provided extensive tables of data on total water intake, water intake from beverages and water intake from foods; however, very little information was provided about the specific details of these analyses. Reported total water intake varied with gender and somewhat with age and [...]

THE EFFECT OF CARBOHYDRATE GELS ON GASTROINTESTINAL TOLERANCE DURING A 16-KM RUN.

Two studies were conducted to investigate gastrointestinal (GI) tolerance of high carbohydrate (CHO) intakes during intense running. The first study investigated tolerance of a CHO gel delivering glucose plus fructose (GLU+FRC) at different rates. The second study investigated tolerance of high intakes of glucose (GLU) vs. GLU+FRC gel. Both studies used a randomized, 2-treatment, 2-period [...]

WATER INTAKE AND RISK OF HYPONATRAEMIA IN PRADER-WILLI SYNDROME.

BACKGROUND AND METHODS: Unusual water intake and drinking behaviour has occasionally been observed in individuals with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS). The aim of this study is to explore whether this observation is a part of the PWS phenotype and what the consequences may be. The parents of 51 individuals with PWS (age range 2-40 years) were [...]

How Primary Care Providers Might Review Evidence on Hydration

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 their clinical experience with EBM to improve patient outcomes. In evidence-based practices, patient oriented data are valued more highly than [...]

INTAKES OF PLAIN WATER, MOISTURE IN FOODS AND BEVERAGES, AND TOTAL WATER IN THE ADULT US POPULATION ”NUTRITIONAL, MEAL PATTERN, AND BODY WEIGHT CORRELATES: NATIONAL HEALTH AND NUTRITION EXAMINATION SURVEYS 1999

Background: There is a surprising paucity of studies that have systematically examined the correlates of water intake in the US population. nnObjective: The objective was to examine the association of contributors of water intake with dietary characteristics.
