RESTING METABOLIC RATE AND BODY COMPOSITION OF HEALTHY SWEDISH WOMEN DURING PREGNANCY
Body weight, resting metabolic rate (RMR), total body potassium (TBK), and total body water were measured and total body fat (TBF) was calculated in a longitudinal study of 22 pregnant, healthy Swedish women. Measurements were made before pregnancy, at gestational weeks 16-18, 30, and 36, and 5-10 d and 6 mo postpartum. RMR increased more [...]
THE STATEMENT OF POLISH GYNAECOLOGIC SOCIETY EXPERTS CONCERNING DRINKING WATER CONSUMPTION IN WOMEN IN REPRODUCTIVE AGE, PREGNANCY AND BREAST FEEDING
Water is a substance essential for life. It creates the environment of our body, keeps it's homeostasis, enables every biochemical reaction and metabolic processes in human organism. Maternal hydratation is essential for homeostasis of two organisms and drinking water influences the amniotic fluid volume, fetal well-being and removes toxic metabolic products. The chemical contaminants of [...]
RECURRENT PREGNANCY-INDUCED POLYURIA AND THIRST DUE TO HYPOTHALAMIC DIABETES INSIPIDUS: AN INVESTIGATION INTO POSSIBLE MECHANISMS RESPONSIBLE FOR POLYURIA.
A young patient developed hypothalamic diabetes insipidus due to histiocytosis in infancy and was satisfactorily treated with Pitressin. As a teenager she no longer had thirst or polyuria after treatment was stopped. These symptoms only returned during her two pregnancies. When non-pregnant her urine output was 1.7-2.0 1/24 h, basal plasma osmolality 288-290 mOsm/kg, and [...]
HYDRATION STATUS OF EXCLUSIVELY AND PARTIALLY BREASTFED NEAR-TERM NEWBORNS IN THE FIRST WEEK OF LIFE.
An in-hospital prospective, observational cohort study was conducted to assess the effects of type of feeding (exclusively breastfed [EBF] vs partially breastfed [PBF]) on the hydration status of near-term newborns in the first week of life. A total of 205 babies of 35 to 37 weeks of completed gestation were enrolled (82 in the EBF [...]

NO NEED FOR WATER SUPPLEMENTATION FOR EXCLUSIVELY BREAST-FED INFANTS UNDER HOT AND ARID CONDITIONS.
This study was conducted in 4 villages in India during the hottest and driest season of the year to determine whether exclusively breast-fed infants need additional water under extremely hot and dry climatic conditions. The ambient temperature was 35-40 degrees C and the relative humidity 10-35%, except during the early morning hours. 63 urine samples [...]
EDEMA IN PREGNANCY.
During normal pregnancy total body water increases by 6 to 8 liters, 4 to 6 liters of which are extracellular, of which at least 2 to 3 liters are interstitial. At some stage in pregnancy 8 out of 10 women have demonstrable clinical edema. There is also cumulative retention of about 950 mmol of sodium [...]
ERYTHROCYTE HYDRATION IN NORMAL HUMAN PREGNANCY.
OBJECTIVE--To determine whether the fall in plasma osmolality in normal human pregnancy resulted in cellular overhydration. DESIGN--The changes in erythrocyte hydration, potassium and total osmoles in response to a decrease in osmolality in vitro and associated with the fall in plasma osmolality in normal pregnancy were determined. SUBJECTS--Fifty-one women were studied serially during pregnancy and [...]
EVAPORATION RATE AND SKIN BLOOD FLOW IN FULL TERM INFANTS NURSED IN A WARM ENVIRONMENT BEFORE AND AFTER FEEDING COLD WATER.
Earlier results have shown that some infants born by elective Caesarean section start to sweat in a warm environment while others do not, and that sweating can be inhibited by feeding cold glucose. To determine whether these earlier observations, indicating a difference in postnatal temperature adaptation, could be reproduced in vaginally born infants, we measured [...]
