EFFECT OF MATERNAL HYDRATION ON OLIGOHYDRAMNIOS: A COMPARISON OF THREE VOLUME EXPANSION METHODS.
OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of maternal hydration with intravenous (i.v.) isotonic fluid, i.v. hypotonic fluid, and oral water on amniotic fluid index (AFI) in women with oligohydramnios. METHODS: Patients with low AFI and gestational age over 35 weeks without maternal complications were randomized into four groups (2 L/2 h i.v. isotonic fluid, 2 L/2 [...]
Unifying hypothesis of sodium and water regulation in health and disease.
Sodium and water retention is characteristic of edematous disorders including cardiac failure, cirrhosis, nephrotic syndrome, and pregnancy. Nonosmotic vasopressin release has been implicated in the water retention of these edematous disorders. The nonosmotic release of vasopressin is consistently associated with activation of the sympathetic nervous and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone systems in both experimental animals and in edematous [...]
Hydration and vascular fluid shifts during exercise in the heat.
This study examined the effects of hypohydration on plasma volume and red cell volume during rest in a comfortable (20 degrees C, 40% relative humidity) and exercise in a hot-dry (49 degrees C, 20% relative humidity) environment. A group of six male and six female volunteers [matched for maximal O2 uptake (VO2 max)] completed two [...]
The effects of fluid restriction on hydration status and subjective feelings in man.
Hydration status and the effects of hypohydration have been the topic of much public and scientific debate in recent years. While many physiological responses to hypohydration have been studied extensively, the subjective responses to hypohydration have largely been ignored. The present investigation was designed to investigate the physiological responses and subjective feelings resulting from 13, [...]
HYDRATION IN CHILDREN.
Water supply is a basic public problem. In modern science, three periods with different approaches to define recommended water intake in adults can be distinguished. Pediatricians agree that hydration in children may be optimal only in breastfed infants. More data are required on the health effects of different hydration states and varying water intakes in [...]
EARLY ORAL HYDRATION AND ITS IMPACT ON BOWEL ACTIVITY AFTER ELECTIVE CAESAREAN SECTION–OUR EXPERIENCE.
AIM: To assess the effects of early oral hydration after elective caesarian section. METHODS: Hundred women were selected from the maternity wards of LHMC and SSK Hospital, and alternately assigned into control and study groups of 50 each. Women with medical complications and antepartum haemorrhage were excluded. In the study group, oral hydration was started [...]
HYDRATION OF FAT-FREE MASS IN HEALTHY WOMEN WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE EFFECT OF PREGNANCY.
BACKGROUND: Knowledge of the biological variability of the hydration factor (HF), ie, the ratio between total body water and fat-free mass, is important when calculating total body fat by means of the commonly used two-component model, which is based on estimates of body weight and total body water. The effect of pregnancy on the biological [...]
