In 19 stable peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients, hydration status was evaluated by measurement of vena cava diameter (VCD) and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) variables: intracellular water (ICW), extracellular water (ECW), and total body water (TBW). We investigated whether BIA can replace VCD. VCD did not correlate with TBW but correlated moderately with ECW/TBW (r = 0.42; 0.025 < p < 0.05) and ICW/ECW (r = -0.47; p < 0.025). Patients with underhydration (n = 4; VCD <8 mm/m2) revealed limits for BIA variables as ICW/ECW (>1.50) and ECW/TBW (<0.40). The same held true for overhydration (n = 5; VCD >11.5 mm/m2): ICW/ECW (<1.50) and ECW/TBW (>0.40). Although the positive predictive value of ICW/ECW and ECW/TBW for both under- and overhydration was only 50% and 54%, respectively, there were no false negative values. Although BIA cannot replace VCD in PD patients, the reverse holds true as well. Combining BIA and VCD may lead to a better estimation of hydration status because both techniques provide complementary information.

Relationship between fluid intake, hydration status and cortisol dynamics in healthy, young adult males.

Department of Kinesiology, University of North Carolina at Greensboro, Greensboro, Mailing address: P.O. Box 26170 Greensboro, NC, 27402-6170, USA.
Background: Previous studies have identified links between fluid intake, hydration related hormones and cortisol measured at one timepoint but have not considered how hydration may influence cortisol dynamics throughout the day. This study assessed associations between hydration status (copeptin, urinary osmolality, urine volume) and habitual fluid intake with cortisol dynamics.
Methods: The day before (DB) a 6-h laboratory visit, 29 male participants (age, 23±4y; BMI, 25.
Physiology of bridging stent grafts after fenestrated/branched endovascular aortic repair: Where translational science meets the clinical profile.

Fenestrated/branched endovascular aortic repair emerges as the primary therapeutic modality for intricate aortic pathologies encompassing the paravisceral and thoracoabdominal segments, where bridging stent grafts (BSGs) play a vital role in linking the primary aortic endograft with target vessels. Bridging stent grafts can be categorized mainly into self-expanding stent grafts (SESGs) and balloon-expandable stent grafts (BESGs). Physiological factors significantly influence post-complex endovascular aortic repair BSG behaviour, impacting clinical outcomes of SESGs and BESGs in different but overlapping ways.

Background And Aims: Measurement of the urine sodium concentration (USC) is a simple procedure that in many patients adequately indicates their hydration status. This is of particular importance in patients suffering from short bowel syndrome (SBS), who may very rapidly dehydrate and are at risk for permanently compromising their kidney function. A point of care test (POCT) that allows reliable measurement of USC would enable these patients to effectively evaluate their sodium- and water balance in the at home setting, thereby avoiding hospital visits and delayed test results.

Purpose: The aims of this study were to explore the differences in total body water and hydration status among Chinese children aged 6-17 years.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was implemented among children aged 6-17 years in China. The total body water (TBW), intracellular water (ICW), and extracellular water (ECW) were determined by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA).

L., also known as sweet marjoram, is a plant with multiple uses, both in the culinary field and traditional medicine, because of its major antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and digestive properties. In this research, we focused on the effects of essential oil (OmEO, at concentrations of 25, 150, and 300 μL/L), evaluating chemical structure as well as its impact on cognitive performance and oxidative stress, in both naive zebrafish (), as well as in a scopolamine-induced amnesic model (SCOP, 100 μM).
