#dehydration

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

Forschung in #Klimakammern zeigt, dass die #Überlebensgrenze bei extremer #Hitze für den Menschen niedriger ist als bisher angenommen. Neuere Studien schätzen, dass ein „Wet-Bulb-Temperature“ (#WBT) von etwa 31 °C die #Überlebensgrenze für junge, gesunde Menschen darstellt, während ältere Menschen noch anfälliger sind. Hitze birgt ernsthafte #Gesundheitsrisiken, insbesondere in Verbindung mit körperlicher Aktivität und #Dehydration.

Apparently the "coffee" study group got to drink coffee for three days and strip down naked every day for a body mass measurement. 🤔

(that said, the people who drew the short straw got only water for 3 days)

"Urinary and haematological hydration markers were recorded daily in addition to nude body mass measurement (BM). "

ps. what the heck is Deuterium Oxide?! #coffee #dehydration #clinicaltrial

Continued thread

During the hot desert days, #dehydration & heat stroke have become common, acc/to #aid groups, & nighttime temps, wind & rain are creating conditions ripe for #hypothermia. #Doctors are particularly concerned about those elements for #children, since many have lower body fat than adults & may be #malnourished from their journeys.
The govt had argued that the #children were not yet in #US #custody so it had no obligation to provide services [what now?]
