Note on the Quenching of Thirst after Abdominal Operations

The thirst from which patients suffer after abdominal operations is so well known that I need not enlarge upon it. The cause of it, too, is sufficiently obvious. In such cases, fluids by the mouth are for a variable number of days contra-indicated, in order to obviate or minimize chloroform sickness, lest the consequent retching might strain the recent abdominal wound, and also in many cases to...

Quenching the thirst of RF power amps and extending the life of portable devices

Quenching the thirst of RF power amps and extending the life of portable devices

Battery life or rather runtime is crucial in portable wireless systems such as cell phones, PDAs, laptop computers, and so on because it ultimately defines the device’s mobility. With decreasing form factors and increasing functional densities, energy, which is another way of saying battery life, is in short supply, decreasing the practical nature of these mobile electronic solutions. Within a ...

Oral Cooling and Carbonation Increase the Perception of Drinking and Thirst Quenching in Thirsty Adults

Fluid ingestion is necessary for life, and thirst sensations are a prime motivator to drink. There is evidence of the influence of oropharyngeal stimulation on thirst and water intake in both animals and humans, but how those oral sensory cues impact thirst and ultimately the amount of liquid ingested is not well understood. We investigated which sensory trait(s) of a beverage influence the thi...
