Abstract:
Background Using clinical judgment to diagnose dehydration can be highly subjective. To diagnose dehydration, it would be ideal to have an accurate, inexpensive, objective and easy-to-perform diagnostic tool. In cases of dehydration, plasma osmolality rises, causing an increase in antidiuretic hormone (ADH) secretion. The increased ADH reduces urine production and increases urine osmolality. Previous studies have show that urine osmolality correlates well to urine specific gravity. We investigated if urine specific gravity can be a reliable and objective detennination of dehydration status.Obj

Abstract:
Background: Diabetes mellitus is caused by the pancreas not being able to produce the insulin hormone that regulates glucose in the body, resulting in hyperglycemia which is associated with long-term damage, dysfunction, failure of various organs (eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart, and blood vessels). Diabetes is included as a non-communicable disease but has a priority for follow-up because the number of cases and its prevalence has continued to increase over the last few decades. Examination of diabetes mellitus can be done with blood samples and urine samples. Examination of diabetes mellitus wi

Abstract:
Abstract Creatinine and specific gravity (relative density) measurements both allow differences in urine concentration to be taken into account in determining urine cotinine concentrations. In this study we demonstrate that the variance of urine cotinine measurements is reduced comparably when either creatinine or specific gravity measurements are used for correction. This reduction in variability improves the correlation between urine cotinine measurements and clinical endpoints. In this study, the clinical endpoints were pulmonary function in a population of nonsmoking children with asthma,

Abstract:
Adequate hydration is critical for optimal performance and health. Fluid requirements of collegiate athletes are unique due to training and competition, travel, school schedules, and stressors common in college environments. Inattention to these factors may contribute to suboptimal hydration. Importantly, loss of 1-2% of body weight by dehydration can impair physical and cognitive performance. As such, development of valid and reliable tools to assess hydration status in collegiate athletes is needed. The purpose of this study was to assess the validity of urine color (UC) as a measure of hydr

Abstract:
Synthetic colloids used to treat shock, including 6% hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 (HES) and 4% succinylated gelatine (GELO), may interfere with refractometry due to large colloid molecules within the solution. This study aimed to assess the effects of these fluids on refractometric total plasma protein concentration (TPPr) and urine specific gravity (USG), using an in vitro (TPPr only) and an in vivo dog model. In the in vitro study, plasma samples from 10 greyhounds were diluted with 0.9% sodium chloride (NaCl), HES and GELO in ratios of plasma: fluid, 9:1, 8:2, 7:3, 6:4, 5:5. TPPr was compare

An initial investigation involved 91 surface miners completing a heat stress questionnaire; assessing the work environment, hydration practices, and heat illness symptom experience. The key findings included 1) more than 80 % of workers experienced at least one symptom of heat illness over a 12 month period; and 2) the risk of moderate symptoms of heat illness increased with the severity of dehydration.

There are two major functions in this device: (1) the measurement of refractive index and concentration and (2) the detection of urine specific gravity. By using image analysis, we design an optofluidic device to measure refractive index, concentration and urine specific gravity without expensive instruments such as laser device, CCD camera, and oscilloscope
