Rehydration after exercise in the heat: a comparison of 4 commonly used drinks.
To determine the effectiveness of 3 commonly used beverages in restoring fluid and electrolyte balance, 8 volunteers dehydrated by 1.94% +/- 0.17% of body mass by intermittent exercise in the heat, then ingested a carbohydrate-electrolyte solution (Gatorade), carbonated water/apple-juice mixture (Apfelschorle), and San Benedetto mineral water in a volume equal to 150% body-mass loss. These [...]
Moderate hypernatremic dehydration in newborn infants: retrospective evaluation of 64 cases.
OBJECTIVES: This study was carried out to assess the incidence, presenting complaints, risk factors, and methods for prevention of hypernatremic dehydration among term and near-term breastfeeding infants. METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated term and near-term (> or =35 weeks of gestation) neonates admitted to our neonatology department, during a four-year period with serum sodium concentrations of [...]

Hypernatremic dehydration in the newborn period and long-term follow up.
BACKGROUND: Hypernatremic dehydration due to inadequate fluid intake can be a significant problem during the neonatal period and thereafter. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the term newborn infants admitted to Gazi University Hospital neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for hypernatremic dehydration between June 2001 and June 2003 and compare the results [...]
Aortic and cerebral trombosis caused by hypernatremic dehydration in an exclusively breast-fed infant
Complete aortic thrombosis is rare in neonates. Because it carries high morbidity and mortality, this entity requires aggressive and early treatment. This report describes an 8-day-old healthy and exclusively breast-fed infant, without specific coagulopathy, who developed complete aortic and cerebral venous thrombosis, which was attributed to inadequate breast-feeding and severe hypernatremic dehydration. Early systemic anticoagulation [...]
Severe hypernatremic dehydration secondary to undetected lactation failure: usefulness of sodium levels in breast milk.
There is a concern that lactation failure and neonatal morbidity might be more common than previously thought. Maybe the early discharge, the lack of timely follow-up, or poor information during pregnancy or after delivery play important roles. A case of severe hypernatremic dehydration secondary to lactation failure is reported and we analyze recent recommendations. PMID: [...]

Hypernatraemic dehydration in Jamaican breastfed neonates: a 12-year review in a baby-friendly hospital.
A 12-year retrospective review of neonates admitted with hypernatraemic dehydration to the neonatal unit of the University Hospital of the West Indies was conducted between 1 January 1990 and 31 December 2001. Twenty-four infants fulfilled the criteria for hypernatraemic dehydration. Nineteen (79%) women were either nulliparous or primiparous with a mean (SD) age of 26.9 [...]
