BACKGROUND The clinical dehydration scale (CDS) is a quick, easy-to-use tool with 4 clinical items and a score of 1-8 that serves to classify dehydration in children with gastroenteritis as no, some or moderate/severe dehydration. Studies validating the CDS (Friedman JN) with a comparison group remain elusive. We hypothesized that the CDS correlates with a wide spectrum of established markers o...

Cholera presents a picture of mixed salt and water depletion, its most outstanding feature being dehydration with consequent haemoconcentration and peripheral circulatory failure. A patient may lose fluid enormously, and in very bad cases we have observed the plasma reduced as low as to one half its volume though the total blood volume was not markedly altered. Treatment consists mainly in repl...

Background and Purpose—We aimed to determine the frequency of dehydration, risk factors, and associations with outcomes at hospital discharge after stroke. Methods—We linked clinical data from stroke patients in 2 prospective hospital registers with routine blood urea and creatinine results. Dehydration was defined by a blood urea-to-creatinine ratio 80. Results—Of 2591 patients registered, 160...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We aimed to determine the frequency of dehydration, risk factors, and associations with outcomes at hospital discharge after stroke. METHODS We linked clinical data from stroke patients in 2 prospective hospital registers with routine blood urea and creatinine results. Dehydration was defined by a blood urea-to-creatinine ratio >80. RESULTS Of 2591 patients registered...

A comparative chemical study of the blood and the urine of the dog with experimental dehydration and with obstruction of the cardiac end of the stomach is reported. The average duration of life is slightly longer with dehydration than with obstruction. The urine output per kilo of body weight is almost twice as great in dehydration as with obstruction. The increase in non-protein nitrogen and u...

BACKGROUND: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a medical emergency with high mortality rate and associated severe metabolic acidosis dehydration. DKA patients have an increased risk of arterial venous thromboembolism, however little known about this derangement in the first 24 hours admission to assess its effect on coagulation. We therefore utilised novel functional marker clot microstructure (fra...

A hydrogel was prepared by crosslinking aqueous solutions of sulfonated polyacrylamide/chromium triacetate for use in water shut off operations. Gel swelling and the effects of salinity, injection time and flow rate on residual resistance factor (Frr) were investigated. In the presence of electrolytes, gel swelling decreased by about 80%. Results showed that oil permeability increased as inject...
