Low body weight: a simple indicator of the risk of dehydration among children with diarrhoea.
The early identification of children at high risk of dehydration as a consequence of diarrhoea would be of great value for health care workers in developing countries. By comparing children aged less than two years with diarrhoea and moderate to severe dehydration with matched controls who had uncomplicated diarrhoea, a number of prognostic factors were [...]
The effect of hydration status on plasma vasopressin release during physical exercise in man.
The effect of hydration status on plasma vasopressin release was studied in six healthy volunteers undergoing a 15-min bicycle ergometer exercise. The hydration states were dehydration, produced by a 14-h abstinence from fluids, euhydration, and hyperhydration caused by drinking 20 ml kg-1 water 2 h before the exercise. The exercise load was individually adjusted to [...]
Effect of dehydration on gastrointestinal function at rest and during exercise in humans
Dehydration leads to the aggravation of gastrointestinal (GI) complaints during exercise. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of dehydration on various GI parameters during strenuous exercise. Ten healthy well-trained men were investigated in dehydrated and in euhydrated conditions. Dehydration took place before the experiments using a dehydration regimen in a sauna [...]

The influence of the initial state of hydration on endocrine responses to exercise in the heat.
This study examines the effect of the initial state of hydration on hormone responses to prolonged exercise in the heat. Five subjects at two initial hydration levels (hypohydrated and hyperhydrated) were exposed to a 36 degrees C environment for 3 h of intermittent exercise. During exercise, the subjects were either fluid-deprived, or rehydrated with water [...]
Work performance after dehydration: effects of physical conditioning and heat acclimatization. 1958.
Three groups of five men each were dehydrated overnight in the heat (115 degrees F) on two occasions (D1 and D2) to approximately 5.5% of their starting body weight. During the 3-week period between D1 and D2, one group (AC) was acclimatized to heat and physically conditioned, the second group (C) was physically conditioned and [...]
Dehydration and provision of fluids in palliative care. What is the evidence?
OBJECTIVE: To provide a clinical review of issues surrounding reduced fluid intake in palliative care patients and a practical approach to care for these patients. DATA SOURCES: Medline was searched from 1980 to 1995 for articles concerning dehydration in dying patients. In addition, the law databases QUICKLAW, WESTLAW, and MEDMAL were searched. STUDY SELECTION: Key [...]
Fluid shifts and hydration state: effects of long-term exercise.
During exercise, increased capillary hydrostatic pressure caused by elevation of arterial pressure produces plasma volume shifts from the vascular space to the interstitial fluids. Following a rapid efflux of vascular fluid within minutes of exercise, there is very little further reduction in plasma volume during long-term exercise, suggesting protective mechanisms against loss of circulating blood [...]
