The study aimed to measure the effect of health promotion and the free provision of cooled filtered water on the consumption of water and soft drinks. [...]
Influence of diuretic-induced dehydration on competitive running performance.
A diuretic drug (40 mg of furosemide) was utilized to study the effects of dehydration (D) on competitive running performance, without prior thermal or exercise stress. Eight men competed in randomized races of 1,500, 5,000, and 10,000 m, while normally [...]
LOWERING POSTDIALYSIS PLASMA SODIUM (CONDUCTIVITY) TO INCREASE SODIUM REMOVAL IN VOLUME-EXPANDED HEMODIALYSIS PATIENTS: A PILOT STUDY USING A BIOFEEDBACK SOFTWARE SYSTEM
Extracellular fluid expansion is common in hemodialysis patients. Aggressive fluid removal may lead to intradialytic complications. High dialysate sodium concentrations may lessen complications, but may increase extracellular volume. We hypothesized that decreasing plasma sodium concentration [...]
