CONTEXT The ability to assess the degree of dehydration quickly and accurately in infants and young children often determines patient treatment and disposition. OBJECTIVE To systematically review the precision and accuracy of symptoms, signs, and basic laboratory tests for evaluating dehydration in infants and children. DATA SOURCES We identified 1561 potential articles by multiple search s...

Crystal dehydration is a post-crystallization technique that can potentially improve the diffraction of macromolecular crystals. There are currently several ways of undertaking this process; however, dehydration experiments are often limited in their throughput and require prior manipulation of the samples. In the present study, a novel method is proposed that uses in situ plate screening to as...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Extreme climatic events such as severe droughts are expected to increase with climate change and to limit grassland perennity. The present study aimed to characterize the adaptive responses by which temperate herbaceous grassland species resist, survive and recover from a severe drought and to explore the relationships between plant resource use and drought resistance strate...

Hyponatremia is the most frequent electrolyte derangement in clinical practice and is often associated with dehydration. This happens when the water deficit is combined with a larger solute deficit. This study, carried out in the Emergency Department, was aimed to explore efficacy and safety of two different therapeutic strategies, based on a quantitative approach (AdroguéMadias formula) for tr...

Abstract Wearable flexible electronics that are derived from hydrogels inevitably undergo dehydration, and the sensing performance is highly affected because stretchability conductivity weaken. Monitoring water retention rate of as they operate without dismantling assembled device vital for evaluating performances intervening in a timely manner to address problem. However, relevant research sti...

The production of dried snacks with high nutritional value represents a valid alternative to use the kiwifruit waste as undersized fruits, positive economic impact on entire chain. Therefore, this work aimed evaluate effect pulsed electric field - PEF (200 V/cm) and/or osmotic dehydration – OD pre-treatments drying kinetics (50, 60, 70 °C), texture, colour, and sensorial properties yellow snack...

seedling characteristics of different sunflower (helianthus annus l.) cultivars under drought stress and inoculation with the azospirillum lipoferum in a spilt-factorial layout based on randomized complete block design with three replications were evaluated. treatments included dehydration stress (seed produced on maternal plants which irrigated after 60 (desirable irrigation), 120 (medium stre...

purpose the aim of this study was to assess the effects of ramadan fasting on several biochemical and anthropometric parameters in physically active men by comparing fasters and nonfasters before, during, and after ramadan. methods eighteen physically active men (10 fasters and 8 nonfasters) participated in this study. subjects visited the laboratory for a total of four sessions on the followin...

purpose to evaluate the effect of ramadan fasting on body water status markers of rugby players at basal condition and following a simulation of rugby sevens match. methods twelve recreational rugby sevens players played three matches: one day before ramadan (before ramadan), at the end of the first week of ramadan (beg-r) and at the end of ramadan (end-r). before and immediately after each mat...

the effects of operating parameters such as feed temperature and permeate-side pressure on the performance of a commercial pva membrane in the dehydration of toluene by a pervaporation (pv) membrane system is studied in the present work. the results obtained indicate that increasing temperature in the range of 40 to 70 °c and reducing permeate pressure in the range of 1 to 10 mmhg increase memb...
