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 [...]

ENERGY AND WATER METABOLISM, BODY COMPOSITION, AND HORMONAL CHANGES INDUCED BY 42 DAYS OF ENFORCED INACTIVITY AND SIMULATED WEIGHTLESSNESS.

Inactivity causes profound deleterious changes. We investigated in eight healthy men the impact of a 42-day head-down bed rest (HDBR) on energy and water metabolism and their interrelationships with body composition (BC) and catabolic and anabolic hormones. Total energy expenditure (TEE), total body water, water turnover, and metabolic water formation were assessed by the doubly [...]

DRINKING, MICTURITION HABITS, AND URINE CONCENTRATION AS POTENTIAL RISK FACTORS IN URINARY BLADDER CANCER.

Investigation of micturition and drinking habits in urban (n = 475) and rural (n = 156) working populations demonstrated less frequent micturition, decreased fluid intake, and a higher urine concentration in the urban as compared to the rural group. All these differences were significant (P less than .01) by multivariate analysis, adjusting for age and [...]
