Filter by:Obstructive Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea Syndrome (OSAHS) is a cardiovascular risk factor due to intermittent hypoxia phenomena. Several etiological factors are involved in the pathogenesis of OSAS. Among them, the rostro-caudal displacement of fluid during dorsal decubitus has been highlighted. Under the effect of gravity, an accumulation of fluid is possible in the lower limbs, redistributing itself towards the upper parts of the body during the supine position. This phenomenon of fluid shift is usually evaluated by impedancemetry after a night in the supine position. However, some authors have shown that fluid shift occurs within 90 minutes after supine. Thus, in the perspective of future studies, in order to simplify the implementation of this evaluation and to reduce the time of hospitalization necessary for the subjects participating in the study, we would like to verify the correlation between the impedancemetry measurement at T 90 min and that obtained after one night of supine position. This is a single-center, prospective, open-label study at the Poitiers University Hospital. We will include 30 patients over 18 years of age admitted to the regional sleep pathology center for suspected nocturnal respiratory disorders to receive polysomnography and able to provide written consent.We excluded : patients younger than 18 years of age, A history of vascular surgery of the lower limbs such as varicose vein surgery, vascular bypass surgery, carcinological surgery with lymph node dissection, the presence of metallic implants in the lower limbs or spine or implantable cardiac devices, those not receiving Social Securitý or not receiving it through a third party, persons receiving enhanced protection, namely minors, and persons deprived of libertý by a judicial or administrative decision, persons staying in a health or social institution, and adults under legal protection.we will perform an impedance measurement at T0, T30, T90, and after overnight supine. Impedance measurement is performed using electrodes delivering a low intensity current of known frequency allowing the study of the liquid volume.
Dehydration lowers both physical and mental performance if it is severe enough. Performance declines are more pronounced in hot conditions or after prolonged strenuous activity such as exercise. Most individuals drink less than their sweat losses during activity, while some individuals overdrink and develop a sodium deficiency. Water and electrolyte balance must be restored as part of the recovery process after any activity that causes sweating. Plain water causes a decrease in plasma sodium concentration and osmolality, which reduces the desire to drink and increases urine production. Unless the volume ingested exceeds the loss, individuals are in net negative fluid balance throughout the recovery period due to urinary losses. When sodium and potassium are added to rehydration fluids, urine production is reduced in the hours following rehydration. Rehydration is only possible if a volume of fluid equal to or greater than the amount lost through sweat is consumed, together with adequate electrolytes. The two test products for this study, are novel hydration beverage formulas. They are an electrolyte drink mixture with five essential vitamins and three times more electrolytes than typical sports beverages. The test products create an osmotic force that permits water to be supplied to the bloodstream sooner in the digestive system by using a specific ratio of sodium, glucose, and potassium. This randomized, placebo-controlled, semi-blind, crossover study will evaluate the effects of the test products on rehydration in healthy adults.
Fluid intravascular replacement is usually performed with either balanced crystalloids or iso-oncotic colloids, (synthetic colloids, plasma and 5% albumin). Doubts have been raised about synthetic colloids, and albumin solutions have been used more extensively. Albumin is the main protein responsible for plasma oncotic pressure and its volume expansion effect. The mobilization of extravascular fluid by infusing a hyper-oncotic solution like 20% albumin solution has been shown, causing endogenous fluid recruitment and blood volume expansion. The primary objective of this study is to compare the effect on plasma volume expansion and fluid recruitment of 3 different types of fluids (Albumin 5% and Albumin 20% and Ringer-lactate) during the hemorrhagic phase of the cystectomy procedure. Secondary objectives are the assessment of the hemodynamic parameters during surgery and the follow-up of pro-ANP and pro-BNP peptides. Glycocalyx proteins will be followed to evaluate endothelial wall shedding and microcirculation damages.
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.
Breast cancer patients who received docetaxel chemotherapy were randomly divided into two groups; experimental group: the patients received intravenous infusion of succinylated gelatin one day before and on the day of chemotherapy, 500ml each time, once per day; control group: observation. Primary endpoint: total incidence of fluid retention. Secondary endpoints: severity and duration of fluid retention, change in quality of life score.
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the effects of a topical sodium bicarbonate lotion on physiological and psychological responses associated with hydration status and fluid balance in humans during passive heat stress. Currently, the ingestion of sodium has been an effective measure for improvements in fluid regulation and hydration status in humans. However, the investigators do not know its regulatory relationship with measurements of fluid balance when supplemented through the skin.
To examine the feasibility of intermittent fasting (36h, twice a week, unlimited salt and calorie-free fluid consumption), over three months, on body weight and composition in complicated obesity in whom age and medical complexity exclude the possibility of bariatric surgery.
Fluid treatment is usually performed with either balanced crystalloid fluids or iso-oncotic colloids, (synthetic colloids, plasma and 5% albumin). Doubts have been raised about synthetic colloids (impairment of renal function and coagulation), and the natural albumin has been used more extensively. Albumin is the main protein responsible for plasma oncotic pressure and its volume expansion effect. An alternative therapeutic option is the mobilization of tissue fluid by infusing a small amount of hyper-oncotic fluid like the 20% albumin solution (endogenous fluid recruitment). The primary objective of this study is to test the effect of 20% albumin on plasma volume expansion and fluid recruitment in the frame of blood loss replacement during cystectomy using established fluid kinetic models. The investigators expect that fluid replacement with crystalloid will be better sustained intravascularly with the administration of 20% albumin and be able to recruit fluid into the vascular compartment.
Prospective randomized double blind phase IV trial studying the efficacy and safety of the tonicity of two different perioperative maintenance solutions: an isotonic solution containing NaCl 0.9 in glucose 5% with an added 40 mmol/L of potassium or a commercially available premixed solution (Glucion 5%) containing a.o. 54 mmol/L of sodium and 26 mmol/L of potassium. Both solutions are administered at 27 mL/kg of ideal body weight, as recommended by current guidelines (NICE 174) and both solutions are widely used in daily clinical practice. The primary hypothesis is that isotonic maintenance solutions lead to more fluid retention than hypotonic fluids. Metabolism of both solutions is assessed by sequential analysis of urine and serum and clinical parameters.
