FLUID AND ELECTROLYTES IN THE ELDERLY
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The intake of water and electrolytes is inseparable from the ingestion of nutrients by normal or artificial means. Recent reports have agreed in criticizing the poor standards of practice and of training in the management of fluid and electrolyte balance, resulting in a large amount of avoidable morbidity, particularly in the elderly [...]
SPANISH BOTTLED AND TAP WATER ANALYSIS AND THEIR RELATION WITH URINARY LITHIASIS
OBJECTIVE: To perform a chemical analysis of all the available waters in Spain with the idea of offering consume recommendations to lithiasic patients.

The scientific literature is reviewed to highlight the investigative models used to contribute to the knowledge base about the ergonomics of [...]
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 [...]
