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 [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
The effect of different heat loads on vigilance and complex cognitive tasks involved in a mission of different intensities were examined. Nine healthy volunteers were randomly exposed for 2 h to three climatic conditions: comfort (21 degrees C ET), moderate heat load (30 degrees C ET) and severe heat load (35 degrees C ET). The [...]

OBJECTIVES: To assess early clinical signs and their prognostic value in elderly patients with hypernatremia. DESIGN: Prospective, case control study of 150 patients with hypernatremia matched to 300 controls. SETTING: Multicenter study including seven short- and long-term geriatric care facilities. MEASUREMENTS: Clinical assessment of hydration status at bedside, such as abnormal skin turgor or dry [...]
