A RANDOMIZED CLINICAL TRIAL COMPARING THE EFFECT OF MATERNAL INTRAVENOUS HYDRATION AND PLACEBO ON THE AMNIOTIC FLUID INDEX IN OLIGOHYDRAMNIOS

OBJECTIVE: To compare the treatment of acute intravenous hydration with placebo in term pregnant women manifesting oligohydramnios. METHODS: All patients with oligohydramnios who met the inclusion criteria were offered participation in this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. After ruling out rupture of membranes and maternal and fetal complications, we recruited 44 women with third trimester singleton [...]

THE THERMAL ERGONOMICS OF FIREFIGHTING REVIEWED.

The occupation of firefighting is one that has repeatedly attracted the research interests of ergonomics. Among the activities encountered are attention to live fires, performing search and rescue of victims, and dealing with emergencies. The scientific literature is reviewed to highlight the investigative models used to contribute to the knowledge base about the ergonomics of [...]

HYDRATION OF FAT-FREE MASS IN HEALTHY WOMEN WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE EFFECT OF PREGNANCY

Background: Knowledge of the biological variability of the hydration factor (HF), ie, the ratio between total body water and fat-free mass, is important when calculating total body fat by means of the commonly used two-component model, which is based on estimates of body weight and total body water. The effect of pregnancy on the biological [...]

SWEAT RATE AND SWEAT ELECTROLYTE COMPOSITION IN INTERNATIONAL FEMALE SOCCER PLAYERS DURING GAME SPECIFIC TRAINING.

The purpose of this study was to determine the sweat rate and sweat electrolyte composition in female international level soccer players. Thirteen soccer players performed two 90 min soccer-specific training sessions (T1 and T2) on separate days. Hydration status was determined prior to each session and sweat loss, sweat rate and sweat composition (Na (+), [...]

ICE SLURRY INGESTION INCREASES CORE TEMPERATURE CAPACITY AND RUNNING TIME IN THE HEAT

PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of ice slurry ingestion on thermoregulatory responses and sub-maximal running time in the heat. METHODS:: On two separate occasions, in a counterbalanced order, ten males ingested 7.5 g.kg of either ice slurry (-1 degrees C) or cold water (4 degrees C) before running to exhaustion at their first ventilatory threshold [...]

TOTAL BODY WATER CHANGES AFTER AN EXERCISE INTERVENTION TRACKED USING BIOIMPEDANCE SPECTROSCOPY: A DEUTERIUM OXIDE COMPARISON.

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) for the estimation of total body water (TBW) has advantages over isotope dilution techniques, including cost, portability, and ease of use. The aim of the current study was to determine the validity of a BIS device (Imp SFB7) for tracking changes in overfat and obese individuals. METHODS: Sixty overfat [...]

IMPLEMENTING INTENTIONS TO DRINK A CARBOHYDRATE-ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION DURING EXERCISE

In this study, we examined the effectiveness of a theory-based psychological implementation intention strategy on the volume and frequency of intake of a carbohydrate-electrolyte solution by participants engaged in submaximal exercise. Thirty-five participants were randomly assigned to an implementation intention or control condition. Participants assigned to the implementation intention condition were required to write down [...]

RAPID MEASUREMENT OF TOTAL BODY WATER TO FACILITATE CLINICAL DECISION MAKING IN HOSPITALIZED ELDERLY PATIENTS.

BACKGROUND: Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a noninvasive rapid and simple bedside technique that can be used to predict total body water (TBW), extracellular water (ECW), and intracellular water (ICW) and identify altered fluid distribution following critical illness. METHODS: An equivalence study of BIA in 32 hospitalized elderly patients was compared with reference standard dilutional [...]

INFLUENCE OF HYDRATION STATUS ON PACING DURING TRAIL RUNNING IN THE HEAT

The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of hydration status on pacing of trail runners in the heat (wet bulb globe temperature = 26.2 +/- 1.8 degrees C). A randomized, crossover design was used and the participation occurred within a 2-week period. Seventeen competitive, well-trained distance runners (9 men, 8 women, age [...]

INCREASING SODIUM INTAKE FROM A PREVIOUS LOW OR HIGH INTAKE AFFECTS WATER, ELECTROLYTE AND ACID-BASE BALANCE DIFFERENTLY.

Contrasting data are published on the effects of high salt intake (between 300 and 660 mmol/d) on Na balance and fluid retention. In some studies high levels of NaCl intake (400, 440, 550 and 660 mmol/d) led to positive Na balances without fluid retention. To test the relevance of different baseline NaCl intake levels on [...]
