TL;DR: Investigation of the prevalence of hyperosmolar dehydration in hospitalised older adults admitted as an emergency and the impact on short-term and long-term outcome demonstrated that participants dehydrated at admission were 6 times more likely to die in hospital than those euhydrated.
Abstract: Background: older adults are susceptible to dehydration due to age-related pathophysiological changes. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of hyperosmolar dehydration (HD) in hospitalised older adults, aged ≥65 years, admitted as an emergency and to assess the impact on short-term and long-term outcome. Methods: this prospective cohort study was performed on older adult participants who were admitted acutely to a large UK teaching hospital. Data collected included the Charlson comorbidity index (CCI), national early warning score (NEWS), Canadian Study of Health and Aging (CSHA) clinical frailty scale and Nutrition Risk Screening Tool (NRS) 2002. Admission bloods were used to measure serum osmolality. HD was defined as serum osmolality >300 mOsmol/kg. Participants who were still in hospital 48 h after admission were reviewed, and the same measurements were repeated. Results: a total of 200 participants were recruited at admission to hospital, 37% of whom were dehydrated. Of those dehydrated, 62% were still dehydrated when reviewed at 48 h after admission. Overall, 7% of the participants died in hospital, 79% of whom were dehydrated at admission (P= 0.001). Cox regression analysis adjusted for age, gender, CCI, NEWS, CSHA and NRS demonstrated that participants dehydrated at admission were 6 times more likely to die in hospital than those euhydrated, hazards ratio (HR) 6.04 (1.64–22.25); P= 0.007. Conclusions: HD is common in hospitalised older adults and is associated with poor outcome. Coordinated efforts are necessary to develop comprehensive hydration assessment tools to implement and monitor a real change in culture and attitude towards hydration in hospitalised older adults.

TL;DR: In physical education, bodies are not only moved but made. as discussed by the authors analyse discourses related to a fit healthy body and an at risk healthy body in both Swedish and Australian physical education and find that these discourses also acted through a range of techniques of power, particularly regulation and normalisation.
Abstract: In physical education, bodies are not only moved but made. There are perceived expectations for bodies in physical education to be ‘healthy bodies’*for teachers to be ‘appropriate’ physical, fit, healthy and skilful ‘role models’ and for students to display a slim body that is equated with fitness and health. In teachers’ monitoring of students with the intention of regulating health behaviour, however, the surveillance of students’ bodies and associated assumptions about health practices are implicated in the (re)production of the ‘cult of the body’. In this paper, we consider issues of embodiment and power in a subject area where the visual and active body is central and we use data from Australian and Swedish schools to analyse the discourses of health and embodiment in physical education. In both Swedish and Australian physical education there were discourses related to a fit healthy body and an at risk healthy body. These discourses also acted through a range of techniques of power, particularly regulation and normalisation.

TL;DR: Smoking is a risk factor for microscopic colitis of the collagenous type (CC), and smokers develop their disease more than 10 years earlier than non-smokers.
Abstract: Objective. The association between smoking and idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease is well known; smoking seems to have a diverse effect. Crohns disease is associated with smoking, while ulcerati ...

TL;DR: The purpose of this study was to investigate serum cortisol and DS levels and the cortisol/DS ratio early after stroke and relate the findings to the presence of disorientation and mortality.
Abstract: Low and high circulating cortisol levels predict mortality and cognitive dysfunction early after stroke.
