Bioelectrical impedance analysis in the assessment of hydration status in peritoneal dialysis patients.

Objective: Assessment of fluid status in chronic peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients is complex. Clinical evaluation based solely on body weight, blood pressure, volume of ultrafiltration (UF) and peripheral edema is insufficient. A non-invasive test, bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) might be of potential benefit. Aim: To test whether BIA correlates with other ancillary markers of extracellular [...]

Comparison of Ringers Lactate vs Normal Saline in Children with Acute Diarrhea and Severe Dehydration: A Double Blind Randomized Controlled Trial.

OBJECTIVE: WHO recommends Ringers lactate (RL) and Normal Saline (NS) for rapid intravenous rehydration in childhood diarrhea and severe dehydration. We compared these two fluids for improvement in pH over baseline during rapid intravenous rehydration in children with acute diarrhea. DESIGN: Double-blind randomized controlled trial. SETTING: Pediatric emergency facilities at a tertiary-care referral hospital. INTERVENTION: [...]

Hydration and cognitive performance.

A clinical link exists between severe dehydration and cognitive performance. Using rapid and severe water loss induced either by intense exercise and/or heat stress, initial studies suggested there were alterations in short-term memory and cognitive function related to vision, but more recent studies have not all confirmed these data. Some studies argue that water loss is not responsible for [...]

Assessment of fluid status in peritoneal dialysis.

Fluid management is recognized as a basic component of management of patients on dialysis. Fluid overload is an important adverse factor in patient outcomes, and the negative effects of fluid depletion, including on residual renal function, are aIso increasingly being recognized. The complexities of fluid distribution in renal failure need to be understood to inform [...]

Hydration, sweat and thermoregulatory responses to professional football training in the heat.

This study examined the relationship between intensity of training and changes in hydration status, core temperature, sweat rate and composition and fluid balance in professional football players training in the heat. Thirteen professional football players completed three training sessions; "higher-intensity" (140 min; HI(140)), "lower-intensity" (120 min; LI(120)) and "game-simulation" (100 min; GS(100)). Movement demands were [...]

Body Mass Change and Ultraendurance Performance: A Decrease in Body Mass Is Associated With an Increased Running Speed in Male 100-km Ultramarathoners.

Body mass change and ultraendurance performance: a decrease in body mass is associated with an increased running speed in male 100-km ultramarathoners. J Strength Cond Res 26(6): 1505-1516, 2012-We investigated, in 50 recreational male ultrarunners, the changes in body mass, selected hematological and urine parameters, and fluid intake during a 100-km ultramarathon. The athletes lost [...]

Hypertonic Saline and Acute Wheezing in Preschool Children.

BACKGROUND: Most acute wheezing episodes in preschool children are associated with rhinovirus. Rhinovirus decreases extracellular adenosine triphosphate levels, leading to airway surface liquid dehydration. This, along with submucosal edema, mucus plaques, and inflammation, causes failure of mucus clearance. These preschool children do not respond well to available treatments, even oral steroids. This calls for pro-mucus [...]

Hydration, water intake and beverage consumption habits among adults.

Total water intake is seldom reported in dietary surveys and hydration status is rarely measured. Although adequate intake (AI) levels have been suggested by the European Food Safety Authority, the World Health Organization and the Institute of Medicine, uncertainties and confused messages abound regarding optimum intake. This paper reviews data on water intake internationally and [...]

Effect of intermittent rehydration therapy as an oral and enteral rehydration solution, alone or in combination with intravenous administration on intravascular dehydration.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the effectiveness of intermittent fluid infusion (intermittent rehydration therapy) to dehydrated elderly patients and the efficacy of Heisei Solution Water (HSW), an oral and enteral rehydration solution developed by our group. Methods: We enrolled 375 elderly patients with suspected dehydration from among 1,921 patients of our [...]

Italian Children Go to School with a Hydration Deficit.

Background and aims: Fluid requirements of children vary as a function of gender and age. To our knowledge, there is very little literature on the hydration status of Italian children. We assessed morning hydration status in a large sample of 515 Italian school children aged 9 to 11 years. Methods: Recruited children completed a questionnaire [...]
