FUNCTIONAL SKIN ADAPTATION IN INFANCY – ALMOST COMPLETE BUT NOT FULLY COMPETENT

Early postnatal life is a period of active functional reorganization and cutaneous physiological adaptation to the extrauterine environment. Skin as the outermost organ of mammalians is endowed of multiple functions such as protection, secretion, absorption and thermoregulation. Birth stimulates the epidermal barrier maturation and the skin surface acidification especially in premature infants. In full-term infants [...]

EFFECT OF SALT AND WATER BALANCE ON RECOVERY OF GASTROINTESTINAL FUNCTION AFTER ELECTIVE COLONIC RESECTION: A RANDOMISED CONTROLLED TRIAL

BackgroundnnLow concentrations of albumin in serum and long gastric emptying times have been returned to normal in dogs by salt and water restriction, or a high protein intake. We aimed to determine the effect of salt and water balance on recovery of gastrointestinal function after elective colonic resection in human beings.nMethodsnnWe randomly allocated ten patients [...]

INHALED MANNITOL IMPROVES THE HYDRATION AND SURFACE PROPERTIES OF SPUTUM IN PATIENTS WITH CYSTIC FIBROSIS

The airway mucus in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) is dehydrated and adhesive and accumulates in the airways, resulting in chronic inflammation, infection, and progressive loss of lung function. Inhaled mannitol improves mucus clearance and, when administered over 2 weeks, it improves lung function in CF (Jaques et al. Chest. 2008;133(6):1388-1396). The changes in the [...]

EXERCISE IN A HOT ENVIRONMENT: COMPARISON OF TWO DIFFERENT FLUID INTAKE PATTERNS

Aim. Extensive research has been undertaken in the area of exercise and hydration. Most work has focused on prehydration. Less is known about different fluid intake patterns during exercise and its effect in thermoregulatory variables in hot environments. This study attempted to determine if ingesting fluid either in a single bolus or intermittently during exercise [...]

THERMOREGULATORY RESPONSES AND HYDRATION PRACTICES IN HEAT-ACCLIMATIZED ADOLESCENTS DURING PRESEASON HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL

Previous researchers have not investigated the thermoregulatory responses to multiple consecutive days of American football in adolescents. OBJECTIVE: To examine the thermoregulatory and hydration responses of high school players during formal preseason football practices. DESIGN: Observational study. SETTING: Players practiced outdoors in late August once per day on days 1 through 5, twice per day [...]

INFLUENCE OF GENDER AND BODY COMPOSITION ON HYDRATION AND BODY WATER SPACES

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Hydration disorders are frequent in clinical practice and can be a life threatening issue in frail patients. Mild dehydration (1-2% loss of body weight) appears to impair cognitive and muscular performance. There is, however, no infallible indicator of correct hydration, and of hydration disorders. This study aim at describing total body water [...]

INFLUENCE OF HYDRATION ON PHYSIOLOGICAL FUNCTION AND PERFORMANCE DURING TRAIL RUNNING IN THE HEAT

CONTEXT: Authors of most field studies have not observed decrements in physiologic function and performance with increases in dehydration, although authors of well-controlled laboratory studies have consistently reported this relationship. Investigators in these field studies did not control exercise intensity, a known modulator of body core temperature. OBJECTIVE: To directly examine the effect of moderate [...]

Determinants of the sensation of thirst in terminally ill cancer patients.

While a sensation of thirst causes severe distress for a certain proportion of cancer patients in the terminal stage, the factors contributing to this symptom have not been established. To clarify the association between sensation of thirst and medical factors, especially dehydration, a cross-sectional observational study was performed on terminally ill cancer patients receiving inpatient [...]

AMPK AGONISTS AMELIORATE SODIUM AND FLUID TRANSPORT AND INFLAMMATION IN CYSTIC FIBROSIS AIRWAY EPITHELIAL CELLS

The metabolic sensor AMP-activated kinase (AMPK) inhibits both the cystic fibrosis (CF) transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) Cl(-) channel and epithelial Na(+) channel (ENaC), and may inhibit secretion of proinflammatory cytokines in epithelia. Here we have tested in primary polarized CF and non-CF human bronchial epithelial (HBE) cells the effects of AMPK activators, metformin and 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-beta-D-riboside [...]
