EFFECT OF HYPEROSMOLALITY ON CONTROL OF BLOOD FLOW AND SWEATING.
To study the effect of hyperosmolality on thermoregulatory responses, five men [average maximal O2 consumption (VO2 max) = 48 ml X kg-1 X min-1] cycled at 65-75% VO2max for up to 30 min in a 30 degrees C, 40% relative humidity environment under three conditions. First, control tests (C) were performed where preexercise plasma volume [...]
MONITORING HYDRATION STATUS IN ELDERLY VETERANS
Dehydration is a common water and electrolyte disorder in long-term care residents. Practical methods to detect and monitor dehydration are needed. This study determined whether urine color measured by a urine color chart reflects hydration status. The study employed a repeated measures design with two observations during a 10-hour period. Urine color was compared to [...]

DEHYDRATION AND DEATH DURING FEBRILE EPISODES IN THE NURSING HOME
OBJECTIVE: To determine the incidence of early hypernatremic dehydration among residents of a nursing home care unit (NHCU) presenting with significant febrile episodes (FE). DESIGN: Prospective cohort analytic study. FE were defined as temperature (T) > 100 degrees F oral (o) or 101 degrees F rectal (r) for > or = 24 hours. SETTING: NHCU [...]
ROWING PERFORMANCE, FLUID BALANCE, AND METABOLIC FUNCTION FOLLOWING DEHYDRATION AND REHYDRATION.
Eight international class lightweight rowers were examined to determine the efficacy of rehydrating with water following 24 h of dehydration on body fluid balance, metabolic function, and rowing performance. The rowers performed a maximal rowing trial on a Gjessing rowing ergometer (4200 revs, 3-kg resistance) while euhydrated (ET) and following partial rehydration (RT). Body weight [...]
GLYCEROL HYPERHYDRATION: HORMONAL, RENAL, AND VASCULAR FLUID RESPONSES.
Glycerol ingestion has been shown to mediate hyperhydration; however, the mechanism(s) responsible for this improved fluid retention is not well understood. This study examined the hormonal, renal, and vascular fluid responses to glycerol hyperhydration in 11 resting male volunteers who ingested one of two experimental solutions and then a water bolus. The volume of fluid [...]
INDICES OF DEHYDRATION AMONG FRAIL NURSING HOME PATIENTS: HIGHLY VARIABLE BUT STABLE OVER TIME
OBJECTIVE: To determine changes in standard laboratory measures of dehydration among residents of a nursing home care unit (NHCU) over a 6-month period. DESIGN: A prospective cohort analytic study. SETTING: A 130-bed NHCU in a Department of Veterans Affairs Hospital. PATIENTS: Fifteen infirm but stable male residents (mean age 77 years; range (R) 62-93) on [...]
