Summary: The study found that adults with higher serum osmolality had a greater risk of DR, moderate/severe non-proliferative retinopathy, and proliferative diabetic retinopathy. In older adults, higher calculated osmolality was significantly associated with an increased occurrence of DR.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to investigate the associations between digital urine color and paper urine color with other urine indices to assess hydration status. The results showed strong associations between digital and paper urine colors, as well as similar associations with urine specific gravity and urine osmolality. Therefore, digital urine color can be used as a useful tool to assess hydration status and replace the traditional paper urine color method.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of low and moderate doses of coffeeberry extract on cognition and mood. The results showed that 100 mg of coffeeberry extract resulted in increased mental fatigue and decreased accuracy on a task of sustained attention. However, no significant effects were found with 300 mg of coffeeberry extract. Therefore, low to moderate doses of coffeeberry extract do not have a beneficial effect on mood, mental and physical energy levels, or cognition.

Summary: This study aimed to obtain and characterize dehydrated chickpea snacks through sequential hydration, cooking, and drying processes. Microwave multi-flash drying (MWMFD) was found to be a suitable process to obtain crispy chickpeas in a short time, with products exhibiting irregular porous structure and crispy texture.

Summary: The demand for hydration monitoring is significant, especially for the vulnerable populations of young children and the elderly, who are more susceptible to dehydration. This has led to considerable efforts in both academic and commercial sectors to develop means of monitoring hydration status outside of the hospital or clinical setting. This review examines various emerging technologies that, theoretically, have the ability to measure water sensitivity and can be used as routine measurements. The technical validation and evidence of their usage in humans are also discussed. Additionally, it emphasizes the necessity of rigorously evaluating these technologies for their diagnostic potential in order to meet the need for hydration monitoring outside of the clinical environment.

Summary: A new design concept was developed in this study to achieve rapid and intact sweat sampling for analytical purposes. The system demonstrated great collection efficiency and a short induction time, along with fast response times to abrupt changes in sweat rates or concentrations during exercise.

Summary: The hydration and dehydration behaviors of PNIPAAm-grafted silica beads were analyzed using FTIR spectroscopy. The results showed that the peak intensity and position of the FTIR spectra varied with different relative humidity and temperature conditions, indicating the strong hydration and dehydration properties of PNIPAAm.

Summary: Research suggests that exercise-induced hypohydration has a negative impact on running performance in a temperate environment, even though the weight-loss associated with running might partially offset this effect.

Summary: Early rehydration treatment can improve cerebral perfusion, decrease infarct volume, and increase survival rates of dehydrated stroke animals. The rehydration group had significantly smaller infarct volume and shorter delay time in cerebral perfusion at 30 minutes after middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO).

Summary: This study aims to understand the nature and strength of the relationship between sleep, cognition, mood and behavior in children with new-onset epilepsy. The results show that children with epilepsy have more sleep disturbance, higher rates of behavioral problems, lower cognitive testing scores, and higher rates of depression compared to siblings. Sleep significantly correlates with behavioral problems, cognitive scores, and depression.

Summary: This study examines the impact of thermal cycles on the hydration and dehydration of GCLs, including the granularity and mineralogy of bentonite, the type of geotextile, and the properties of the underlying subgrade. The results of hydration tests indicate that these factors significantly affect the cyclic hydration of GCLs, and the moisture retention of a GCL depends on both the type of GCL and the properties of the subgrade.

Summary: Heart failure is a common and serious public health problem that can lead to illness and death. Congestion and dehydration are common issues in heart failure patients and are associated with poor prognosis and high rates of rehospitalization. Dehydration is also prevalent in healthcare and community settings and is linked to increased morbidity and mortality. This article provides a comprehensive review of congestion and dehydration in heart failure, including possible causes and diagnostic methods.

Summary: The study investigated the short-term effects of consuming a single serving of smoothie containing fresh Centella asiatica on cognition and mood in healthy female participants. Higher concentration of C. asiatica in the smoothie led to significant improvements in alertness and contentedness factors, but no significant improvements in cognitive functions were found after one hour.
