Hydration in Advanced Cancer: Can Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis Improve the Evidence Base? A Systematic Review of the Literature.
CONTEXT: Decisions surrounding the administration of clinically assisted hydration to patients dying of cancer can be challenging because of the limited understanding of hydration in advanced cancer and a lack of evidence to guide health [...]
Dysphagia, Nutrition, and Hydration in Ischemic Stroke Patients at Admission and Discharge from Acute Care.
Dysphagia may predispose stroke patients toward undernutrition and hydration. These comorbidities increase patient risks for reduced functional outcome and short-term mortality. Despite this impact, available information on relationships among dysphagia, nutrition, and hydration status in [...]
Relationship between thirst perception and plasma arginine vasopressin concentration in man.
We examined the possibility that measurements of thirst perception in man using the visual Analogue Scale (VAS) can be used to estimate plasma arginine vasopressin concentration in man. In thirty normal subjects (male=15 and female=15), [...]
Hypertonic hyperglycemia progresses to diabetes faster than normotonic hyperglycemia.
To explore whether elevated plasma glucose might progress to diabetes via a mechanism that involves plasma hypertonicity, we evaluated the independent and joint effects of these variables on diabetes risk. Community-dwelling older adults (70+years), who [...]
