IMPLEMENTING INTENTIONS TO DRINK A CARBOHYDRATE-ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION DURING EXERCISE

In this study, we examined the effectiveness of a theory-based psychological implementation intention strategy on the volume and frequency of intake of a carbohydrate-electrolyte solution by participants engaged in submaximal exercise. Thirty-five participants were randomly assigned to an implementation intention or control condition. Participants assigned to the implementation intention condition were required to write down [...]

RAPID MEASUREMENT OF TOTAL BODY WATER TO FACILITATE CLINICAL DECISION MAKING IN HOSPITALIZED ELDERLY PATIENTS.

BACKGROUND: Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a noninvasive rapid and simple bedside technique that can be used to predict total body water (TBW), extracellular water (ECW), and intracellular water (ICW) and identify altered fluid distribution following critical illness. METHODS: An equivalence study of BIA in 32 hospitalized elderly patients was compared with reference standard dilutional [...]

INFLUENCE OF HYDRATION STATUS ON PACING DURING TRAIL RUNNING IN THE HEAT

The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of hydration status on pacing of trail runners in the heat (wet bulb globe temperature = 26.2 +/- 1.8 degrees C). A randomized, crossover design was used and the participation occurred within a 2-week period. Seventeen competitive, well-trained distance runners (9 men, 8 women, age [...]

INCREASING SODIUM INTAKE FROM A PREVIOUS LOW OR HIGH INTAKE AFFECTS WATER, ELECTROLYTE AND ACID-BASE BALANCE DIFFERENTLY.

Contrasting data are published on the effects of high salt intake (between 300 and 660 mmol/d) on Na balance and fluid retention. In some studies high levels of NaCl intake (400, 440, 550 and 660 mmol/d) led to positive Na balances without fluid retention. To test the relevance of different baseline NaCl intake levels on [...]

MAKING THE WEIGHT: A CASE STUDY FROM PROFESSIONAL BOXING

Professional boxing is a combat sport categorized into a series of weight classes. Given the sport's underpinning culture, boxers' typical approach to "making weight" is usually via severe acute and/or chronic energy restriction and dehydration. Such practices have implications for physical performance and also carry health risks. This article provides a case-study account outlining a [...]

ESTIMATING THE RADON CONCENTRATION IN WATER AND INDOOR AIR.

The paper presents the results of radon concentration measurements in the vicinity of water, indoor air and in contact to building walls. The investigations were carried out using CR-39 track detectors. Samples of ground water flowing out of many springs mostly in Arabian Gulf area except one from Germany have been studied. The results are [...]

DIAGNOSIS AND MANAGEMENT OF DEHYDRATION IN CHILDREN.

The most useful individual signs for identifying dehydration in children are prolonged capillary refill time, abnormal skin turgor, and abnormal respiratory pattern. However, clinical dehydration scales based on a combination of physical examination findings are better predictors than individual signs. Oral rehydration therapy is the preferred treatment of mild to moderate dehydration caused by diarrhea [...]

ANGIOTENSIN INHIBITION AND MALIGNANCIES: A QUESTION OF HYDRATION

After an early report that patients treated with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors had a lower than expected incidence of cancers, there was a large number of publications investigating the possible pathophysiological mechanism mediating this effect, as well as population studies comparing the incidence of cancers in patients treated with agents inhibiting the renin-angiotensin system with [...]

NURSING PRACTICE AND ORAL FLUID INTAKE OF OLDER PEOPLE WITH DEMENTIA

AIM: This paper describes the findings of a descriptive study about what nurses do to ensure that older people with dementia have adequate hydration. BACKGROUND: Frail nursing home residents, particularly those who cannot accurately communicate their thirst as a result of Alzheimer's disease and who depend on nursing staff for their fluid intake, are at [...]

BIKE TRANSALP 2008: LIQUID INTAKE AND ITS EFFECT ON THE BODY’S FLUID HOMEOSTASIS IN THE COURSE OF A MULTISTAGE, CROSS-COUNTRY, MTB MARATHON RACE IN THE CENTRAL ALPS

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the drinking behavior of the participants in a multi-day mountain bike (MTB) cross-country competition, to monitor its effect on the body's fluid compartments and body mass, and to evaluate the prevalence of exercise-associated dysnatremia. DESIGN: Descriptive field study. SETTING: The Jeantex Bike Transalp Competition 2008 (8 stages; 665.40 km; 21 691 m [...]
