In long-term treatment, the thia2ides may produce hypokalemia, hyperglycemia, hypemricemia, and a 5% increase in plasma cholesterol indapamide has been shown not to increase plasma cholesterol or Hpids at therapeutic doses (21—23). The decrease of plasma potassium, ie, hypokalemic effect, is dose-dependent, and can be avoided if high doses are avoided (24,25). Thia2ides can cause hyponatremia in patients with large water intake while on the dmg (26,27) hyponatremia may be associated with nausea, vomiting, and headaches. 

On-site inspection of regions near the emergency service water intake structures revealed loss of up to 40% of the nominal pipe-wall thickness. Deposits were dried, ignited, and analyzed. A 1% solution of dried ash had... 

Due to contamination from a metal plating facility, the water from a nearby community water supply well was shown to contain cyanide at a concentration of 20 pg/L, nickel at 95 pg/L, and chroniium(IIl) at 10,200 pg/L. If the daily water intake is assumed to be 0.2L, and the body weight of an adult is 70kg, do these noncarcinogenic chemicals pose a health hazard ...

The Great Lakes have suffered the invasion of numerous exotic species of which the smelt, alewife and sea lamprey are probably the best known. More recently, two more species have entered the lakes probably via ballast water from foreign ships. The ruffe (Gymnocephalus cemuus) a small percid, feeds on the eggs and larvae of other percids and whitefish. The ruffe is currently considered to be a threat to Lake Superior s 5- 10 million whitefish fishery. The zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) was discovered in Lake St. Clair in 1985 (31). It has subsequently been discovered at locations throughout the Great Lakes and is of major concern not only environmentally but economically. It has already colonized numerous industrial and domestic water intakes in sufficient numbers to entirely block water flow and is also an intermediate host to parasites which eventually invade fish. 

The effects of heat and/or water stress can be determined experimentally by raising animals at high temperatures with reduced water intake. This study reports on experiments designed to test the heat and water stress hypothesis. 

Initial work with poly (ortho esters) focused on norethindrone and the use of water-soluble excipients such as Na2C03, NaCl, and Na2S04 (27). As described by Fedors (28), the inclusion of such water-soluble salts leads to an osmotically driven water intake into the polymer. This water intake leads to polymer swelling with consequent release of the incorporated norethindrone. The effect of incorporated NaCl and Na2C03 on erosion rate as compared to the... 

There is also some evidence that histamine may be involved in food and water intake and thermoregulation (see Hough and Green 1983). 

When aimed at a single paddy field, the waterway connected with a paddy field serves as a target for a survey. Since a water intake and a drain are installed in each paddy, a major flow of water prevails from the intake to the drain. Hence, starting and ending points should be considered when water sampling is done. For the sampling of water, at least one point in the upstream of the inflow and more than one point in the downstream of the drain should be set. 

Fluid restriction is generally unnecessary as long as sodium intake is controlled. The thirst mechanism remains intact in CKD to maintain total body water and plasma osmolality near normal levels. Fluid intake should be maintained at the rate of urine output to replace urine losses, usually fixed at approximately 2 L/day as urine concentrating ability is lost. Significant increases in free water intake orally or intravenously can precipitate volume overload and hyponatremia. Patients with stage 5 CKD require renal replacement therapy to maintain normal volume status. Fluid intake is often limited in patients receiving hemodialysis to prevent fluid overload between dialysis sessions.

Two intermediate-duration studies in rats in which lead was administered mixed in the food as acetate, oxide, sulfide, and lead contaminated soil identified NOAELS of 5 mg lead/kg/day (Dieter et al. 1993) and 6.4 mg lead/kg/day (Freeman et al. 1996) for food intake for all lead forms tested. These doses were the highest doses tested. A 90-day study in rats reported no effects of lead exposure on water intake in rats administered doses of approximately 38 mg lead/kg/day as acetate via drinking water (Kala and Jadhav 1995a). In contrast, rats given a much higher dose of lead acetate in the water (0.6% corresponding to approximately 502 mg lead/kg/day) for 14-50 days showed a 17-20% decrease in water intake (Ronis et al. 1996). 

The maintenance of plasma volume and plasma osmolarity occurs through regulation of the renal excretion of sodium, chloride, and water. Each of these substances is freely filtered from the glomerulus and reabsorbed from the tubule none is secreted. Because salt and water intake in the diet may vary widely, the renal excretion of these substances is also highly variable. In other words, the kidneys must be able to produce a wide range of urine concentrations and urine volumes. The most dilute urine produced by humans is 65 to 70 mOsm/1 and the most concentrated the urine can be is 1200 mOsm/1 (recall that the plasma osmolarity is 290 mOsm/1). The volume of urine produced per day depends largely upon fluid intake. As fluid intake increases, urine output increases to excrete the excess water. Conversely, as fluid intake decreases or as an individual becomes dehydrated, urine output decreases in order to conserve water. 

This volume, referred to as obligatory water loss, is 420 ml water/day. In other words, 420 ml of water will be lost in the urine each day in order to excrete metabolic waste products regardless of water intake. 

Regulation of the osmolarity of extracellular fluid, including that of the plasma, is necessary in order to avoid osmotically induced changes in intracellular fluid volume. If the extracellular fluid were to become hypertonic (too concentrated), water would be pulled out of the cells if it were to become hypotonic (too dilute), water would enter the cells. The osmolarity of extracellular fluid is maintained at 290 mOsm/1 by way of the physiological regulation of water excretion. As with sodium, water balance in the body is achieved when water intake is equal to water output. Sources of water input include ...
