Dehydration in the neonatal period has many causes. Dehydration is classified as isotonic, hypotonic, or hypertonic, based on the serum osmolality that in most cases is reflected in the serum sodium level. Hypernatremic dehydration is usually caused by gastroenteritis, but it can also be caused by salt poisoning or diabetes insipidus. This type of dehydration can be especially dangerous. The hy...

A high-quality encapsulation process is crucial to ensuring the performance and long-term reliability of photovoltaic (PV) modules. In crystalline Si technology-based modules, poly (ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) (EVA) is the most widely used PV encapsulant. Its encapsulation process is usually performed in a flat-bed vacuum bag laminator. In certain types of laminators, cooling press can be applie...

introduction: neonatal hypernatremia dehydration (nhd) is a dangerous condition in neonates, which is accompanied by acute complications (renal failure, cerebral edema, and cerebral hemorrhage) and chronic complications (developmental delay). children begin learning language from birth, and hearing impairment interferes with this process. we assessed the hearing status of infants with hypernatr...

The purpose of this study was to examine the in vitro dehydration characteristics of new and worn conventional and silicone-hydrogel contact lenses. Four contact lens materials were investigated: three conventional hydrogels (etafilcon, nelfilcon, omafilcon) and one silicone-hydrogel (narafilcon). Gravimetric data were obtained with analytical balance with 1 min intervals. Quantitative paramete...

Dehydration in clinical practice, as opposed to a physiological definition, refers to the loss of body water, with or without salt, at a rate greater than the body can replace it. We argue that the clinical definition for dehydration, ie, loss of total body water, addresses the medical needs of the patient most effectively. There are 2 types of dehydration, namely water loss dehydration (hypero...

PURPOSE This study was undertaken to evaluate the endothelial pump function by monitoring both corneal swelling response under hypoxia and dehydration response following hypoxia in vivo. METHODS Humidified nitrogen gas was used to obtain corneal swelling, and humidified gas mixed with oxygen and nitrogen was used for corneal dehydration. First, in 6 young volunteers, we investigated the most ...

introduction: water is an essential nutrient for life. it comprises 75% of total body weight in infants,60% in adult males and 50% in adult females. decrease in body water is commonly known as dehydration. acute or chronic dehydration is a common condition in some population groups, especialy the elderly and those who participate in physical activity in warm enviroments. potential consequences ...

phenol is a common pollutant that was listed by us environmental protection agency (epa) among the priority pollutants. classical methods employed for phenol removal are either costly or limited to large-scale applications such as biological and thermal decomposition methods. in this study, adsorption of phenol by a type of clay that is extracted from a local soil called khoweldi was investigat...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the addition of commercial lipase in various forms on the acceleration of the ripening of uf-feta cheese. commercial lipase from aspergillus niger was encapsulated by using silica composition based on sol-gel method. lipase was then added to cheeses in three forms, namely, free lipase, encapsulated lipase, and encapsulated lipase with arabi...

abstract: this study was aimed at probiotication of tomato and carrot juices using lactobacillus plantarum, lb. fermentum, lb. casei, lysinibacillus sphaericus and saccharomyces boulardii. to enhance the stability, the probiotic cultures were micro-encapsulated using alginate coated chitosan beads. tomato and carrot juice samples were pasteurized for 20 min at 63 °c. lb. fermentum, lb. plantara...
