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 [...]
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, [...]
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 [...]
Saliva indices track hypohydration during 48h of fluid restriction or combined fluid andenergy restriction.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether unstimulated whole saliva flow rate (UFR) and osmolality (Sosm) track changes in hydration status during 48h of restricted fluid intake (RF) or combined fluid and energy restriction (RF+RE). Following the 48h periods, UFR and Sosm were assessed after acute exercise dehydration and rehydration. [...]
