Nurse-physician communication concerning artificial nutrition or hydration (ANH) in patients with dementia: a qualitative study.
Aims and objectives. To explore nurses' experiences with nurse-physician communication during artificial nutrition or hydration (ANH) decision-making in hospitalised patients with dementia. Background.  Artificial nutrition or hydration decision-making often occurs in patients with dementia. Effective [...]
The emerging role of biomarkers and bio-impedance in evaluating hydration status in patients with acute heart failure.
The quantitative and qualitative estimation of total body fluid content has proven to be crucial for both diagnosis and prognosis assessment in patients with heart failure. The aim of this review is to summarize the [...]
Urine specific gravity in exercisers prior to physical training.
Urine specific gravity (USG) is used as an index of hydration status. Many studies have used USG to estimate pre-exercise hydration in athletes. However, very little is known about the pre-exercise hydration status of recreational exercisers. The purpose of [...]
Effect of glycerol-induced hyperhydration on thermoregulatory and cardiovascular functions and endurance performance during prolonged cycling in a 25 degrees Cenvironment.
We compared the effect of glycerol-induced hyperhydration (GIH) to that of water-induced hyperhydration (WIH) on cardiovascular and thermoregulatory functions and endurance performance (EP) during prolonged cycling in a temperate climate in subjects consuming fluid during [...]
