FLUID REPLACEMENT AND HEAT STRESS DURING EXERCISE ALTER POST-EXERCISE CARDIAC HAEMODYNAMICS IN ENDURANCE EXERCISE-TRAINED MEN.

It has been reported that endurance exercise-trained men have decreases in cardiac output with no change in systemic vascular conductance during post-exercise hypotension, which differs from sedentary and normally active populations. As inadequate hydration may explain these differences, we tested the hypothesis that fluid replacement prevents this post-exercise fall in cardiac output, and further, exercise [...]

POSTEXERCISE REHYDRATION IN MAN: THE EFFECTS OF OSMOLALITY AND CARBOHYDRATE CONTENT OF INGESTED DRINKS.

OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the effect of the osmolality and carbohydrate content of drinks on their rehydration effectiveness after exercise-induced dehydration. METHODS: Six healthy male volunteers were dehydrated by 1.9+/-0.1% of body mass by intermittent cycle ergometer exercise in the heat before ingesting one of three solutions with different carbohydrate contents and osmolalities over a [...]

THE EFFECT OF HYPOHYDRATION SEVERITY ON THE PHYSIOLOGICAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL AND RENAL HORMONAL RESPONSES TO HYPOXIC EXERCISE.

Evidence of the effect of dehydration on physiological responses to hypoxia is limited. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of hypohydration severity on physiological, renal hormonal and psychological responses to acute hypoxia. Eight males completed intermittent walking tests under normobaric hypoxic conditions (FI O(2) = 0.13) after completing four separate hypohydration [...]

CARDIOVASCULAR DRIFT DURING PROLONGED EXERCISE AND THE EFFECTS OF DEHYDRATION

Reductions in SV are the most striking component of "classic" CV drift as well as "dehydration induced" CV drift. Direct data for the widespread notion that increased skin blood flow causes SV to be reduced during "classic" CV drift is rather scarce. Reductions in SV due to dehydration and concomitant hyperthermia are clearly not due [...]

COMBINED MODALITY THERAPY IN THE ELDERLY POPULATION

The incidence of cancer among older patients continues to rise. The use of combined modality therapy has improved survival in a variety of malignancies, including rectal, head and neck, and lung cancer; however, the addition of chemotherapy increases substantially the toxicities of treatment. Elderly patients have generally been excluded from prospective clinical trials and as [...]

ARTIFICIAL HYDRATION THERAPY FOR TERMINALLY ILL CANCER PATIENTS: A NURSE-EDUCATION INTERVENTION.

The Japanese Society of Palliative Medicine has developed a clinical guideline to minimize the large variation in clinical practice of artificial hydration therapy for terminally ill cancer patients. The primary aim of this preliminary study was to explore the effects of a five-hour interactive workshop based on the guideline of nurses' knowledge, confidence, self-reported practice, [...]

BIOELECTRICAL IMPEDANCE PHASE ANGLE CHANGES DURING HYDRATION AND PROGNOSIS IN ADVANCED CANCER.

INTRODUCTION: We wished to determine bioelectrical impedance (BIA) correlates before hydration or changes during hydration and determine if these changes were prognostically important. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Fifty eligible patients underwent BIA measurements 3 consecutive days. Laboratory studies (electrolytes, creatinine, and hemoglobin) on day 1; weights and vital signs were recorded. Kaplan-Meier survival estimates were made [...]

A DISCOURSE ANALYSIS OF DIFFICULT CLINICAL SITUATIONS IN RELATION TO NUTRITION AND HYDRATION DURING END OF LIFE CARE.

AIM AND OBJECTIVES: The following discussion builds upon a previous publication that reported on the perceptions and discourses of palliative care nurses and doctors in relation to nutrition and hydration at the end of life. The aim of this paper is to report the discourses of nurses and doctors in relation to the challenges they [...]
