INTRODUCTION Dehydration and malnutrition commonly occur together among ill children in developing countries. Dehydration (change in total body water) is known to alter weight. Although muscle tissue has high water content, it is not known whether mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) may be altered by changes in tissue hydration. We aimed to determine whether rehydration alters MUAC, MUAC Z score...

Dehydration in non-diarrheal illnesses often goes unnoticed and there are no consensus treatment recommendations for management of dehydration illnesses. A multi-disciplinary committee 10 experts from India gathered on virtual platform September 2020 to develop recommendation current strategies managing oral fluid electrolyte energy pediatric patients during identify unmet needs gaps. pre-meeti...

Purpose : Guava cultivations are spreading rapidly among Sri Lankan farmers, especially in dry zone. Surplus production is observed certain months of the year. Dehydration can be used as an effective method to preserve surplus. During dehydration, browning guava impairs quality final product. This experiment was carried out find most inhibitor.Research Method Four treatments were prior dehydrat...

conclusions it is reasonable to evaluate blood urea nitrogen, potassium, and hemoglobin of children with gastroenteritis. moreover, conducting white blood cell, stool exam, and urine analysis is recommended for those with febrile gastroenteritis, especially in girls younger than two years of age. overall, conducting all the mentioned tests for these patients is not necessary as a routine, and d...

OBJECTIVE The fluid recommendation for adults aged 70+ years has been criticised on the basis of a low prevalence of dehydration in community-dwelling older adults. This study explores whether the low prevalence might reflect limitations of individual dehydration indices. DESIGN Cross-sectional data on plasma sodium, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, glucose and potassium were used to cl...

Limited information is available regarding the effects of mild dehydration on cognitive function. Therefore, mild dehydration was produced by intermittent moderate exercise without hyperthermia and its effects on cognitive function of women were investigated. Twenty-five females (age 23.0 ± 0.6 y) participated in three 8-h, placebo-controlled experiments involving a different hydration state ea...

Aluminosilicate gel precursor having mullite composition was synthesized from inorganic salts of aluminum and silicon by employing the sol-gel method. Chemical analysis, surface area and bulk density measurements were performed to characterize the dried gel. The course of the mullitization was examined by FT-IR analysis which confirmed the diphasic nature of the gel. ...

Soybean (Glycine max L. Merr) seeds lose their tolerance ofdehydration between 6 and 36 hours of imbibition. Soybean axes and cotyledons were excised 6 hours (tolerant of dehydration) and 36 hours (susceptible) after commencing imbibition and subsequently dehydrated to 10% moisture. Kinetics of the efflux of potassium, phosphate, amino acid, sugar, protein, and total electrolytes were compared ...
