Background Oral rehydration solution (ORS) has the potential to avert deaths from diarrheal diseases. Nevertheless, in poor nations only about half of children with diarrhea receive ORS. Since 2014, India run an annual Intensified Diarrhea Control Fortnight increase ORS treatment. A key element plan is free distribution over 100 million homes young children. Methods We compared usage reported 2...

To understand the effects of lattice mismatch on heteroepitaxial growth, we have studied equilibrium structure and orientation relationships (ORs) FCC films grown epitaxially substrates, using molecular dynamics simulations in conjunction with embedded atom method potentials. Three film/substrate systems been investigated, namely: Ag Cu, Ni Pb Al. These cover a significant range mismatch, from ...

BACKGROUND Oculorespiratory syndrome (ORS) after influenza vaccination has many features of an allergic reaction. METHODS The objective of the study was to estimate the recurrence rate of ORS after receipt of either of 2 influenza vaccines available in Canada for the 2002-2003 influenza season in individuals who experienced ORS in 2000 or 2001. We designed a randomized, crossover, double-blin...

BACKGROUND More than 500 000 young children die from dehydration caused by severe diarrhea each year, globally. Although routine use of oral rehydration solution (ORS) could prevent almost all of these deaths, ORS utilization remains low in many low-income countries. Previous research has suggested that misperceptions among caregivers may be an obstacle to wider use of ORS. METHODS To better ...

Dehydration is the most common cause of death in diarrheal patients. Early oral rehydration therapy (ORT) can prevent or reverse dehydration from diarrhea in almost almost all cases. Shortages of oral rehydration salt (ORS) packets in certain areas remain a major problem of the Diarrheal Diseases Control Program of Thailand. To find an effective solution that can be prepared locally, a randomiz...

Current space acquisition programs are often characterized by long-development cycles, cost overruns, and changing requirements. In an effort to match the time constants associated with space system development and operations to the needs of the system’s respective users, operationally responsive space (ORS) architectures have been proposed. Fractionated spacecraft represent one potential archi...

Diarrheal disease is one of the leading causes of worldwide morbidity and mortality, especially in children. It causes loss of body fluid, which may lead to severe dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, shock and even to death. The mortality rate from acute diarrhea has decreased over the last few decades. This decline, especially in developing countries is largely due to the implantation of the s...

BACKGROUND Intraoperative bacterial contamination is a major risk factor for postoperative wound infections. This study investigated the influence of type of ventilation system on intraoperative airborne bacterial burden before and after installation of unidirectional displacement air flow systems. MATERIAL AND METHODS We microbiologically monitored 1286 surgeries performed by a single surgic...

In this study the efficacy of oral rehydration solution (ORS) was compared with that of intravenous fluid (IVF) in the treatment of moderate and some severe cases of dehydration due to diarrhea in a treatment center in Bangladesh during 1980-81. 10,379 patients with moderate and severe dehydration in 1980 and 9897 in 1981 were studied, most were under age 5. Almost all uncomplicated diarrhea ...
