One of the berry crops that has recently gained popularity among consumers is blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.). The a powerful antioxidant, and besides, it contains fructose in its composition, which automatically refers to products diabetic diet. Therefore, blueberries become an interesting colloidal capillary-porous drying object. Wax on skin berries performs protective function process ri...

BACKGROUND An accurate assessment of the degree of dehydration in infants and children is important for proper decision-making and treatment. This emphasizes the need for laboratory tests to improve the accuracy of clinical assessment of dehydration. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between clinical and laboratory parameters in the assessment of dehydration. METHODS We eva...

there is no doubt that breast-feeding is the best and safest way of feeding infants. physiological weight loss occurs in the first two or three days of life, and the achievement of birth weight is expected towards the end of the first week. hypernatremic dehydration may occur in exclusively breast-fed infants if milk supply is low during these first few days. it is not because of the high sodiu...

Dehydration (body water deficit) is a physiologic state that can have profound implications for human health and performance. Unfortunately, dehydration can be difficult to assess, and there is no single, universal gold standard for decisionmaking. In this article, we review the physiologic basis for understanding quantitative dehydration assessment. We highlight how phenomenologic interpretati...

Larvae of the Antarctic midge, Belgica antarctica, routinely face periods of limited water availability in their natural environments on the Antarctic Peninsula. As a result, B. antarctica is one of the most dehydration-tolerant insects studied, surviving up to 70% loss of its body water. While previous studies have characterized the physiological effects of a single bout of dehydration, in nat...

INTRODUCTION Diarrhea remains one of the most common and most deadly conditions affecting children worldwide. Accurately assessing dehydration status is critical to determining treatment course, yet no clinical diagnostic models for dehydration have been empirically derived and validated for use in resource-limited settings. METHODS In the Dehydration: Assessing Kids Accurately (DHAKA) prospe...

This work studied the reversible dehydration of potassium carbonate sesquihydrate (K2CO3·1.5H2O). The study is based on isobaric and isothermal thermogravimetric measurements conducted at a broad range vapour pressures temperatures. By controlling both parameters, we examined influence constraints reaction kinetics wide extent supersaturations. We have evaluated our experimental findings by emp...
