HEAT OF EVAPORATION OF SWEAT: THERMODYNAMIC CONSIDERATIONS
No abstract available.
KEEPING NURSING HOME RESIDENTS HYDRATED
The purpose of this research is to ascertain nursing home (NH) staffs' perspectives of the problem of dehydration in NHs (skilled nursing facilities) and have them identify clinically practical interventions to ensure that NH residents consistently take adequate fluids. Four focus groups with 28 NH staff members in attendance are held in three NHs in [...]
GALLBLADDER DYNAMICS AND PLASMA CHOLECYSTOKININ RESPONSES AFTER MEALS, ORAL WATER, OR SHAM FEEDING IN HEALTHY SUBJECTS
To investigate the mechanisms controlling human gallbladder contraction, especially to determine the role of neural factors, the gallbladder response to various stimuli was evaluated in eight normal subjects using realtime ultrasonography. In addition, plasma cholecystokinin (CCK) levels were measured using a region-specific antibody (OAL 656). Intramuscular injections of CCK-8 and of cerulein induced mean maximal [...]

FLUID AND ELECTROLYTE BALANCE: EFFECTS ON THERMOREGULATION AND EXERCISE IN THE HEAT
During exercise, sweat output often exceeds water intake, producing a water deficit or hypohydration. The water deficit lowers both intracellular and extracellular fluid volumes, and causes a hypotonic-hypovolemia of the blood. Aerobic exercise tasks are likely to be adversely effected by hypohydration (even in the absence of heat strain), with the potential affect being greater [...]
CROSS-SECTIONAL AGE DIFFERENCES IN BODY COMPOSITION IN PERSONS 60+ YEARS OF AGE
BACKGROUND. There is little information for age differences in body composition in elderly people > 65 years of age, especially for those > 80 years. As the proportion of people older than 65 years is expected to nearly double during the next few decades, this information is needed. METHODS. Age differences in body composition and [...]
