The role of oropharyngeal mechanisms in body water regulation was studied in 12 human males by measuring urine output and osmolality before and after drinking a very small volume of distilled water (0.15 ml/kg b.w.t.). Hypotonic diuresis was resulted only in the subjects (n = 6) who drank only sufficient water to keep their oropharynx moist continually over a 20 min period but not in those who (n = 6) drank the same volume of water within several seconds. Sham verbal instructions on drinking induced no changes in subjects examined. These results suggest that oropharyngeal afferents alone, and neither gastric afferents nor psychosomatic effects, may account for hypotonic diuresis following water intake in man.

Hyponatremia is the most common electrolyte abnormality encountered in critically ill patients and is linked to heightened morbidity, mortality, and healthcare resource utilization. However, its causal role in these poor outcomes and the impact of treatment remain unclear. Plasma sodium is the main determinant of plasma tonicity; consequently, hyponatremia commonly indicates hypotonicity but can also occur in conjunction with isotonicity and hypertonicity.

Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have been widely used. They inhibit proximal tubular glucose reabsorption, resulting in glycosuria. Herein, we report the case of a 65-year-old woman who presented with hypernatremia during the perioperative period of a subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Article Synopsis
- Dysnatremia, or abnormal sodium levels, is common in infants after congenital heart disease surgery, affecting nearly 50% within 48 hours post-operation.
- The study found that hypernatremia (high sodium levels) was mainly linked to the use of blood products, while hyponatremia (low sodium levels) was associated with higher free water administration and positive fluid balance.
- Recommendations emphasize the need for individualized fluid therapy and regular monitoring to minimize dysnatremia risks in pediatric cardiac patients, along with calls for further research on fluid management strategies.
Treatment Effect of the SGLT2 Inhibitor Empagliflozin on Chronic Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuresis: Results of a Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Crossover Trial.

Background: The syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis (SIAD) is characterized by a reduction of free water excretion with consecutive hypotonic hyponatremia and is therefore challenging to treat. The sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor empagliflozin promotes osmotic diuresis via urinary glucose excretion, likely leading to increased electrolyte free water clearance.
Methods: In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial, we compared 4-week treatment with empagliflozin 25 mg/d to placebo in outpatients with chronic SIAD-induced hyponatremia.
Rapid correction of severe hyponatremia and control of subsequent overcorrection in operative hysteroscopy intravascular absorption syndrome: A case report.

Rationale: Operative hysteroscopy intravascular absorption syndrome (OHIAS) results from systemic absorption of hypotonic solution during hysteroscopy, which may induce severe hyponatremia within hours. Depending on the serum sodium (Na+) level, this can be life-threatening and requires prompt and careful remedial treatment.
Patient Concerns And Diagnoses: A 53-year-old woman underwent hysteroscopic myomectomy for submucosal leiomyoma.
