RAPID MEASUREMENT OF TOTAL BODY WATER TO FACILITATE CLINICAL DECISION MAKING IN HOSPITALIZED ELDERLY PATIENTS.

BACKGROUND: Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a noninvasive rapid and simple bedside technique that can be used to predict total body water (TBW), extracellular water (ECW), and intracellular water (ICW) and identify altered fluid distribution following critical illness. METHODS: An equivalence study of BIA in 32 hospitalized elderly patients was compared with reference standard dilutional [...]

INFLUENCE OF HYDRATION STATUS ON PACING DURING TRAIL RUNNING IN THE HEAT

The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of hydration status on pacing of trail runners in the heat (wet bulb globe temperature = 26.2 +/- 1.8 degrees C). A randomized, crossover design was used and the participation occurred within a 2-week period. Seventeen competitive, well-trained distance runners (9 men, 8 women, age [...]

INCREASING SODIUM INTAKE FROM A PREVIOUS LOW OR HIGH INTAKE AFFECTS WATER, ELECTROLYTE AND ACID-BASE BALANCE DIFFERENTLY.

Contrasting data are published on the effects of high salt intake (between 300 and 660 mmol/d) on Na balance and fluid retention. In some studies high levels of NaCl intake (400, 440, 550 and 660 mmol/d) led to positive Na balances without fluid retention. To test the relevance of different baseline NaCl intake levels on [...]

MAKING THE WEIGHT: A CASE STUDY FROM PROFESSIONAL BOXING

Professional boxing is a combat sport categorized into a series of weight classes. Given the sport's underpinning culture, boxers' typical approach to "making weight" is usually via severe acute and/or chronic energy restriction and dehydration. Such practices have implications for physical performance and also carry health risks. This article provides a case-study account outlining a [...]

ESTIMATING THE RADON CONCENTRATION IN WATER AND INDOOR AIR.

The paper presents the results of radon concentration measurements in the vicinity of water, indoor air and in contact to building walls. The investigations were carried out using CR-39 track detectors. Samples of ground water flowing out of many springs mostly in Arabian Gulf area except one from Germany have been studied. The results are [...]

DIAGNOSIS AND MANAGEMENT OF DEHYDRATION IN CHILDREN.

The most useful individual signs for identifying dehydration in children are prolonged capillary refill time, abnormal skin turgor, and abnormal respiratory pattern. However, clinical dehydration scales based on a combination of physical examination findings are better predictors than individual signs. Oral rehydration therapy is the preferred treatment of mild to moderate dehydration caused by diarrhea [...]

ANGIOTENSIN INHIBITION AND MALIGNANCIES: A QUESTION OF HYDRATION

After an early report that patients treated with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors had a lower than expected incidence of cancers, there was a large number of publications investigating the possible pathophysiological mechanism mediating this effect, as well as population studies comparing the incidence of cancers in patients treated with agents inhibiting the renin-angiotensin system with [...]

THE VALUE OF HYDRATION AND ACETYLCYSTEINE IN THE PREVENTION OF CONTRAST-INDUCED NEPHROPATHY: A POTENTIALLY CATASTROPHIC COMPLICATION OF THE PERCUTANEOUS CORONARY INTERVENTIONS

Contrast induced nephropathy (CIN) remains a common complication of coronary angiography. There is no specific treatment once contrast induced acute renal failure develops, and management must be as for any cause of acute tubular necrosis, with the focus on maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance. The best treatment of CIN is prevention. A variety of preventive [...]

Hydration: Issues for the 21st Century

Historically, hydration research reflected critical issues of the day. War, illness, surviving a shipwreck or time in the dessert, supplying fall-out shelters, and space exploration drove hydration research in the first half of the 20th century. The fitness revolution of the 1970s spurred research on dehydration in physically active people and athletes. The 1990s introduced [...]

INTRAVENOUS VERSUS ORAL REHYDRATION IN ATHLETES

Fluid is typically administered via intravenous (IV) infusion to athletes who develop clinical symptoms of heat illness, based on the perception that dehydration is a primary factor contributing to the condition. However, other athletes also voluntarily rehydrate with IV fluid as opposed to, or in conjunction with, oral rehydration. The voluntary use of IV fluids [...]
