Rice-based oral rehydration solution for treating diarrhoea.
BACKGROUND Oral rehydration therapy is used to treat dehydration caused by diarrhoea. However the rehydration solution does not reduce stool loss or length of illness. A solution able to do this may lessen the use of ineffective diarrhoea treatments as well as improve morbidity and mortality related to diarrhoea. OBJECTIVES The objective of this review was to assess the effects of rice-based ...
متن کاملPolymer-based oral rehydration solution for treating acute watery diarrhoea
BACKGROUND Acute diarrhoea is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality among children in low-income countries. Glucose-based oral rehydration solution (ORS) helps replace fluid and prevent further dehydration from acute diarrhoea. Since 2004, the World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended the osmolarity of less than 270 mOsm/L (ORS ≤ 270) versus greater than 310 mOsm/L formulation...
متن کاملHydrolysed wheat based oral rehydration solution for acute diarrhoea.
A randomised three cell study was carried out in 78 children with acute diarrhoea to evaluate the relative efficacy of oral rehydration solution (ORS) made from partially hydrolysed wheat grain, cooked rice powder, or glucose. Twenty six patients with comparable age, body weight, duration of diarrhoea, and degree of dehydration were studied in each of the three groups. Initial rehydration was c...
متن کاملEffect of bicarbonate on efficacy of oral rehydration therapy: studies in an experimental model of secretory diarrhoea.
In situ perfusion of rat intestine was used to evaluate the effect of bicarbonate on the efficacy of a low sodium (35 mmol/l) glucose-electrolyte oral rehydration solution in normal and cholera toxin-treated rat small intestine. In normal intestine, absorption of water was greater (108 (8.1) microliters/min/g; p less than 0.01) and sodium secretion less (-4.3 (0.3) mumol/min/g; p less than 0.01...
متن کاملOral rehydration in infantile diarrhoea.
Sir, In their review of acquired toxoplasmosis in children, McNicholl and Flynn (Archives, 1978, 53, 414) suggest the use of sulphadimidine and pyrimethamine for treatment of generalised toxoplasmosis. We report a child with generalised toxoplasmosis who had a dramatic recovery after treatment with co-trimoxazole. An 1 1i-year-old girl presented to the hospital with an 8-week history of weight ...
