Filter by:The purpose of this study was to determine if rapid changes in hydration status could be determined by urine color expressed in CIE color space
The purpose of this study is to investigate the ability of a wearable bioimpedance sensor to detect mild dehydration in healthy volunteers following the administration of Furosemide. In addition, the study will investigate changes in bioimpedance related to normal variation in tissue hydration (circadian changes, skin thickness, posture, and moderate activity). The study will also provide information on the durability of the sensor.
The study examines interactions between fluid availability in the gut and fluid retention in the body. The relative rate of fluid uptake, the expansion of the plasma volume, and percent of fluid retained by the body will be measured in response to ingestion of beverages of different composition. Healthy, euhydrated adults will be studied. The results will help establish formulations of beverages that sustain if not promote acute euhydration.
The primary purpose of the proposed study is to evaluate the effects of a topical sodium bicarbonate lotion (PR Lotion, AMP Human, Park City, UT) on measures of hydration status and fluid balance in humans when exposed to the heat while resting and during light/moderate aerobic exercise. A secondary purpose is to examine these same effects with two differing dosage patterns of the lotion. A tertiary purpose is to investigate the effect of an amino acid rehydration beverage in comparison to a placebo on measurements of hydration, subjective assessments of stress, and vestibular as well as musculoskeletal measures of fatigue for up to 24-hours after the completion of both passive and exertional heat stress within a dehydrated state.
Dehydration is defined as the state of water deficit due to excessive water losses and/or small water intake. Underhydration is the result of inadequate water intake leading to activation of water hormonal homeostasis, characterized by elevated vasopressin, lower urinary output, and concentrated urine without any measurable changes in total body water. It is well established that dehydration (water deficit) decreases exercise performance and worsens mood, mainly in women. However, the impact of increased water intake in underhydrated individuals on their exercise capacity and mood is not known. The aim of the proposed study is to investigate the impact of increased water intake in underhydrated individuals on aerobic exercise performance and mood in both women and men.
The purpose of this exploratory cross-sectional investigation is to evaluate associations between tap water perceptions, water consumption behaviors, and hydration status in Latinx adults (18 - 65 y). The objective is to identify perceptual determinants that explain the associations between tap water avoidance and plain water intake and hydration status in Latinx adults. Aim 1: Characterize the degree to which individual- and community-level factors uniquely predict the perception that tap water is not safe in Latinx adults. Aim 2: Evaluate household income, education level, and US nativity as potential moderators of the associations between predictors and perceptions of tap water safety. Aim 3: Evaluate the influence of tap water safety perceptions on plain water intake and 24-h hydration status, after adjustment for predictors of tap water safety perceptions, in a sub-sample of Latinx adults.
The purpose of the study is to see whether or not a telephone/ text message intervention, delivered by a registered nurse, is helpful in managing symptoms and can also prevent dehydration caused by chemotherapy treatment when given together for patients with metastatic breast, colon, lung or prostate cancer.
Considering the physiological changes in fluid and electrolyte balance and providing proper support are one of the important aspects of neonatal intensive care. Maintenance intravenous fluids are designed to maintain homeostasis when a patient is unable to uptake required water, electrolytes, and energy. Hypotonic fluids are still the most commonly prescribed IV fluids for pediatric hospitalized patients. However, previous studies, including children older than one month of age revealed that traditionally used hypotonic fluids may lead to hyponatremia. Because of the absence of evidence-based data, there is currently no clear consensus on the optimal composition of maintenance intravenous fluid therapy in newborns, leading to wide practice variation. The National Clinical Guideline Center (NICE) 2015 recommends the use of isotonic fluids in term newborn infants and some newborn centers has begun to use isotonic fluids since guidelines recommendations. Since the publication of the NICE guideline, no studies have addressed this topic. In this prospective, observational , multicentric study, conventional hypotonic fluids containing sodium chloride (NaCl) < 130 mmol/L compared with isotonic fluids (containing NaCl between 131-154 mmol/L) in terms of the risk of hyponatremia, hypernatremia, plasma sodium (pNa) level change, treatment morbidities, hospitalization duration and mortality.
An epidemic of chronic kidney disease is occurring in laborers who undertake physical work outdoors in hot conditions. The reason for this is unknown, but may be related to kidney dysfunction caused by increases in body temperature and dehydration. The current heat stress recommendations for workers were not developed with regards for kidney health. The purpose of this study is to determine if the current recommendations protect against kidney dysfunction.
Background and objectives: The researchers will perform this study to reveal the clinical meaning of fatigue, headache, diarrhea, and impaired cognitive functions that are often expressed verbally in healthcare professionals who are exposed to fluoroscopy. Methods: After obtaining written informed consent, 84 samples will be included in the study. For operating room employees who meet the criteria determined before and after the operation; mini-mental state examination, weight, heart rate, non-invasive blood pressure value, VAS score for headache, radiation exposure time on fluoroscopy device, Rad measurement with the help of personal dosimeter before and after surgery, and total time in the operating room will be recorded.
