The objective of this study was to examine the accuracy of the assessment of clinical dehydration in children with type 1 diabetes and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). DKA remains the single most common cause of diabetesrelated death in childhood (1). Accurate assessment and management of dehydration is the cornerstone of DKA treatment (1,2). The assessment of the degree of dehydration has traditio...

The internal surface area of hexagonal (soluble) primary anhydrite CaSO4 produced by dehydration of gypsum decreases by about 70 % when the anhydrite is successively subjected to rehydration and dehydration at room temperature in humid air and in vacuum respectively. In the rehydration step, the hemihydrate is formed; its dehydration yields secondary anhydrite. Additional hydration-dehydration ...

Animal Physiology differs from the typical physiology textbook in that it describes the principles of physiology that underlie all animals, rather than focusing exclusively on humans. It provides a comprehensive overview of physiological systems in a wellorganized and concise manner by moving between description of general principles of physiology and specific examples of these principles from ...

The substances responsible for saffron’s characteristic quality are crocins, picrocrocin, and safranal. The drying process is critical to the saffron quality as measured by levels of secondary metabolites, crocin (color and anti-tumor properties), picrocrocin (taste), and safranal (aroma). Four different dehydration methods were evaluated: Iranian traditional method (room temperature); dehy...

OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy of interventions and environmental factors on increasing fluid intake or reducing dehydration risk in older people living in long-term care facilities. DESIGN Systematic review of intervention and observational studies. DATA SOURCES Thirteen electronic databases were searched from inception until September 2013 in all languages. References of included papers...

Background: dehydration fever is a common problem during the first week of life. This study aimed to compare the characteristics of neonates with fever due to dehydration and healthy infants. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 324 neonates including 120 neonates with normal body temperature and 204 neonates with fever due to dehydration (hyperthermia) referred to Ghaem Hospit...

Air-breathing Cardisoma carnifex, collected in Moorea, French Polynesia, were held in fresh water similar in chemical composition to that in their burrows. Under control conditions, which allowed branchial chamber flushing but not ventilation of the medium, crabs demonstrated net Na and Cl~ uptake, and ammonia, urea and base excretion (= acidic equivalent uptake). Throughout 192 h of water depr...

  A male neonate from a 23 year-old mother by cesarean section without complication in labor or delivery had vomiting from birth for 9 days and lost 400 grams of body weight. He had severe dehydration upon admission to our hospital. After treating his dehydration and assessment of his problem by laboratory tests and radiography we found that he had esophageal atresia without hypoglycemia. We re...

this paper investigates hollow and porous alumina nanospheres that were previously synthesized to be used for the dehydration of methanol to dimethyl ether (dme). as hollow nanostructures possess characteristics such as low density and high surface to volume ratio, their catalytic activity between hollow and porous structure is compared. for this purpose, three most important parameters (acidit...

introduction: a growing number of muslim athletes now engage in international competition. this raises the question of the advice they should be given if a major event occurs during the month of ramadan. methods: a narrative review has been based upon books and extensive reviews completed by the author and other investigators. results: practical considerations hamper assessment of the effects o...
