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 [...]
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 [...]
This population-based case-control study reports on the relationship between fluid intake and the incidence of bladder cancer among 262 bladder cancer cases from Western Washington and 405 controls identified through random-digit dialing Cases were identified from the Surveillance. Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) registry and were diagnosed between January 1987 and June 1990. All eligible [...]
