Abstract:
Oral rehydration fluids (ORS) are used to reverse dehydration that, in case of children, mostly is due to acute gastroenteritis. The key of successful dehydration treatment is to replenish the lost water and electrolytes. This is best done by consuming oral rehydration solution, containing both salt and sugar. ORS enhances fluid absorption because sodium and glucose transport in the small intestine are coupled, and glucose promotes absorption of both sodium ions and water. Studies show that children refuse ORS due to its salty-sweet taste and unpalatability. To improve oral rehydration therapy,

Abstract:
Cholera is an acute enteric infection caused by the ingestion of bacterium Vibrio cholerae1. Cholera is transmitted through contaminated food and water. Prevention and preparedness of cholera require a coordinated multi-disciplinary approach. The extremely short incubation period enhances the potentially explosive pattern of outbreaks. Cholera can lead to severe dehydration and death if left untreated. The laboratory testing is required for antimicrobial sensitivity testing and for confirming the end of an outbreak. Provision of safe drinking water, proper sanitation, and food safety are criti

Abstract:
Background The composition of the WHO's standard oral rehydration solution (ORS) is similar to that of choleric stool. Currently, there are questions about whether the composition is acceptable for treating dehydration caused by diarrhea. Efforts are being made to try and improve the WHO ORS, e.g., to decrease the solution osmolarity to avoid hypertonic side effects.lt is acknowledged that if glucose is used in ORS, the sodium will go through enterocytes and glucose will tum into an absolute substance for the formula. Glucose is less affordable and not widely produced in developing countries,

Background: Diarrhoea complicates over half of admissions to hospital with severe acute malnutrition (SAM). World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines for the management of dehydration recommend the use of oral rehydration with ReSoMal (an oral rehydration solution (ORS) for SAM), which has lower sodium (45mmols/l) and higher potassium (20mmols/l) content than standard ORS. The composition of ReSoMal was designed specifically to address theoretical risks of sodium overload and potential under-treatment of severe hypokalaemia with rehydration using standard ORS.

A study was conducted to assess the knowledge of preparing packet oral rehydration solution (ORS) and home-made salt-sugar solution (SSS) among mothers in Srinagar (Garhwal), Uttaranchal. Two hundred and twenty-five mothers were interviewed. Only a small proportion recognized the ORS packets (18.66%) and only 17.77% mentioned the correct method of preparing a solution from a packet (even after reading the instructions on the packet). Home-made SSS was adequately discussed by only 6.22% mothers and they were taught to correctly prepare and administer ORS and home-made SSS. After the educational

Abstract:
Diarrheal disease is one of the leading causes of infant and child morbidity and mortality worldwide. Developed in the 1960s, oral rehydration salt solutions (ORS) were a major technological advance, offering a practical alternative to intravenous therapy for treatment of dehydration. Subsequently, ORS in prepacked sachets (or various home prepared solutions, such as sugar-salt solution or cereal-based solutions) have been promoted worldwide for home and clinic treatment of diarrhea. Yet early efforts to promote ORS, often through sophisticated social marketing and mass media programs, showed
