Fluid for thought: availability of drinks in primary and secondary schools in Cardiff, UK.
OBJECTIVE: While adequate hydration is undoubtedly essential for health, well-being, performance and learning, it is important to recognize that drinks may also have significant detrimental effects on both general and dental health. Since, on weekdays, at least half of a child's recommended daily fluid intake must be imbibed at school, this study sought to examine [...]
A volume loading test for the detection of hypovolemia and dehydration.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: There is a need for simple method allowing detection of dehydration and hypovolemia. Based on a new theory of homeostatic blood states, we hypothesized that hemodilution following standardized crystalloid fluid bolus can be used to discriminate between baseline normohydration and dehydration, also normovolemia and hypovolemia. METHODS: Computer simulations based on previously published [...]

The effect of drinking tea at high altitude on hydration status and mood.
The effect of drinking tea on hydration status and mood was studied in nine male and four female members of expeditions based at Mt. Everest base camp at an altitude of 5,345 m. Whilst exposed to altitude-cold diuresis, participants were subjected to a crossover experimental design comprising two 24-h dietary interventions. In the "tea" condition, [...]
Prevalence, risk factors and strategies to prevent dehydration in older adults.
The treatment of dehydration in older adults admitted from residential care to an acute hospital setting may lead to haemodynamic stability. There is however an increased risk for short or long term alterations in physiological, cognitive and psychological status and ultimately, decreased quality of life. Such acute care admissions could be decreased where preventative strategies [...]
Airlangga scoring system for prediction of dehydration in diarrheal patients.
To investigate the predictive factors for dehydration in acute diarrheal patients, this case control study was conducted using the observational analytic method. Acute diarrheal patients who were admitted to the Hospital and Outpatient Pediatric Clinic, Dr Soetomo Hospital, were included in this study. By discriminant analysis, three significant variables were determined to differentiate dehydration risk [...]
A review of fluid replacement for workers in hot jobs.
Prolonged work in hot environments leads to progressive water and electrolyte loss from the body. The rate of sweating varies among individuals and depends on the environmental conditions, but in protective clothing and very hot environments rates can reach 2.25 L/hour. Because hypohydration will impair work performance and increases the risk of heat injury, consumption [...]
Risk factors and outcomes associated with hospital admission for dehydration.
The hospital admission rate for dehydration is one of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Prevention's Quality Indicators, which are considered screening tools for potential quality issues. Thus, admission for dehydration may reflect the quality of care provided in community settings. Using a case-control design, this study estimated the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes [...]
Hydration testing in collegiate wrestlers undergoing hypertonic dehydration
Because dehydration (DEH) violates assumptions used in the assessment of body composition, hydration testing has become an integral part of minimal weight (MW) assessment. PURPOSE: To determine the accuracy of hydration tests for the detection and quantification of hypertonic DEH. METHODS: Twenty-five male collegiate wrestlers (mean +/- SD, age: 20.0 +/- 1.4 yr, height: 175.0 [...]
