CLINICAL PRESENTATION OF HYPERNATREMIA IN ELDERLY PATIENTS: A CASE CONTROL STUDY
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 [...]
EFFECT OF WATER INGESTION ON ENDURANCE CAPACITY DURING PROLONGED RUNNING
This study examined the influence of water ingestion on endurance capacity during submaximal treadmill running. Four men and four women with a mean (+/-S.E.) age of 21.4 +/- 0.7 years, height of 169 +/- 2 cm, body mass of 63.1 +/- 2.9 kg and VO2 max of 51.1 +/- 1.8 ml kg-1 min-1, performed two [...]
INGESTION OF COLD FLUIDS: RELATED TO ONSET OF ARRHYTHMIAS?
Although the results of this study provide too limited a database for establishing definitive guidelines for practice, they underscore the need for critical care nurses to focus observations on patients' responses to iced fluid restriction. It is important to determine whether and to what extent limiting ingestion of iced fluids induces patient stress, a factor [...]
EFFECT OF SALT INTAKE ON RENAL EXCRETION OF WATER IN HUMANS
Two studies were performed to determine the quantitative relationship between salt intake and urinary volume (U(v)) in humans. In study 1, 104 untreated hypertensives were studied on the fifth day of a high- and a low-salt diet. The 24-hour U(v) was 2.2 L (urinary sodium [U(Na)] 277 mmol) on the high-salt diet and decreased to [...]

EFFECTS OF FLUID, ELECTROLYTE AND SUBSTRATE INGESTION ON ENDURANCE CAPACITY
The availability of carbohydrate (CHO) as a substrate for the exercising muscles is known to be a limiting factor in the performance of prolonged cycle exercise, and provision of exogenous CHO in the form of glucose can increase endurance capacity. The present study examined the effects of ingestion of fluids and of CHO in different [...]
IS THE IMPEDANCE INDEX (HT2/R) SIGNIFICANT IN PREDICTING TOTAL BODY WATER?
We investigated the general utility of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and the implications of BIA theory in populations of various ages from infancy to adulthood by developing a single impedance equation. Four subject data sets representing 62 adults, 37 prepubertal children, 44 preschool children, and 32 premature low-birth-weight neonates were combined. Subjects were randomly divided [...]
