BACKGROUND Hydration in advanced cancer is a controversial area; however, current hydration assessments methods are poorly developed. Bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (BIVA) is an accurate hydration tool; however its application in advanced cancer has not been explored. This study used BIVA to evaluate hydration status in advanced cancer to examine the association of fluid status with sy...

The effect of sulfatide on membrane hydration of 1, 2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DOPE) small unilamellar vesicles (SUVs) was investigated using steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. The degree of hydration in the headgroup region of the bilayer lipids was assessed with the fluorescence lifetime of N-(5-dimethylaminonaphthalene-1-sulfonyl)dipalmitoylphosphatid...

The molecular geometry of complex of adenine with 8 water molecules was calculated with Hartree-Fock (HF). The standard 6-31G(d) basis set has been employed. The existence of C-H…O Hydrogen bonds between the water molecules and the hydrophobic part of nucleobase is stablished. We optimized structures and computed interaction energies of all complexes of adenine with water molecules step by step...

Thermal behavior of the Shahreza dolomite ore is investigated in this paper. The hydration of the calcined dolomite was studied as a function of the calcination temperature. The DTA results exhibit three endothermic peaks at 800, 900 and 1050 °C, corresponding to decomposition of MgCO3 and CaCO3, both are present in dolomite and free calcite, respectively. The results also indicated that the de...

Aim. The efficacy of the short hydration regimen was reported in chemotherapy containing intermediate- to high-dose cisplatin, and the use of outpatient chemotherapy containing cisplatin with short hydration has been widespread in recent years. Methods. We compared patients with gastric cancer, lung cancer, and urothelial cancer who received outpatient chemotherapy containing cisplatin (≥60 mg/...

PURPOSE To assess the hydration status and level of hydration knowledge of youths at summer sports camps. METHODS Sixty-seven active youths, 57 males (mean +/- SD, 12 +/- 2 y, 136 +/- 16 cm, 50.6 +/- 21.1 kg) and 10 females (13 +/- 2 y, 153 +/- 8 cm, 45.2 +/- 9.0 kg) participated in 4 d of sports camp. Hydration status was assessed before the first practice (AM) and after the second practice ...

The Fox-1 RNA recognition motif (RRM) domain is an important member of the RRM protein family. We report a 1.8 Å X-ray structure of the free Fox-1 containing six distinct monomers. We use this and the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) structure of the Fox-1 protein/RNA complex for molecular dynamics (MD) analyses of the structured hydration. The individual monomers of the X-ray structure show di...

Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a complex syndrome of acute kidney injury that follows exposure to intravascular contrast media. Although a series of preventive measures have been developed, CIN remains a major challenge encountered in elderly patients by interventional cardiologists. No data are currently available concerning the potential effects of the combined use of hydration and alp...

PURPOSE To evaluate the effects of stromal hydration on clear corneal incision (CCI) architecture immediately after surgery using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT). SETTING Department of Ophthalmology, Royal Berkshire Hospital, Reading, United Kingdom. METHODS Clear corneal incisions in adult eyes were examined using a Visante AS-OCT imaging system within 1 hour of surg...

Objective:To study the effects of oral and intravenous maternal hydration in third trimester idiopathic or isolated oligohydramnios, and to determine the duration of actions. Design: Prospective clinical study. Setting:OB/GYN department, Benha Teaching Hospital, Benha, Egypt.; Patient(s):34 pregnant patients, about 35 weeks gestation, with idiopathic oligohydramnios. Intervention(s):acute oral ...
