The rehydration behavior of the desert toad, Bufo punctatus
The red spotted toads, (Bufo punctatus), demonstrate a "water absorption response" (WR) in which they aduct the hindlimbs and press the ventral skin to a moist surface. Associated with the WR, toads showed three characteristic behaviors: (a) moves, in which the toads would systematically move to …

Oral rehydration therapy in childhood diarrhoea : how educated are caregivers?
Thirty years ago, oral rehydration therapy (ORT) was hailed as potentially the most significant medical advance of the century. Dehydration from diarrhoea killed approximately 5 million children per year in the late 1970's. ORT is a simple and inexpensive means of treating diarrhoeal dehydration. …

Mechanical integrity and rehydration properties of agglomerated nutritional dairy ingredient powders
… the functionality (i.e., flowability and rehydration) of a range of commercially agglomerated nutritional dairy powders (i.e., whey protein concentrate, fat-filled milk powder and an infant formula powder). In addition, the agglomeration of MPI was researched, focusing on the utilisation …

Study of Rehydration Properties of Powder Produced from Chelated Skim Milk
<p>Poor rehydration properties of skim milk powder (SMP) can impact processing efficiency and functionality in finished product applications. Rehydration can be split into four stages: wettability, sinkability, dispersibility, and solubility. Previous work has suggested that chelator addition …

Physiological and Biochemical Response of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to Desiccation and Rehydration
… in order to survive cycles of desiccation and rehydration, yet a firm understanding of the response is lacking. The purpose of this study was to examine the response of S. cerevisiae to desiccation and rehydration at both the physiological and molecular levels. Transmission electron microscopy …

Assessment of the efficacy and efficiency of rapid rehydration in children with dehydration due to gastroenteritis in the rehydration unit of Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital
… worldwide. The primary treatment is enteral rehydration. Children who fail a trial of oral fluids require rehydration in hospital, preferably via nasogastric tube. Traditionally, children have been rehydrated over 24 hours; 'Standard Rehydration' (SR). Most treatment guidelines now recommend …

Characterisation and improvement of the rehydration behaviour of high-protein milk powder
Milk protein isolate (MPI) has poor rehydration behaviours, particular in wetting and dissolution. The rehydration difficulty inhibited the achievement of MPI functionality. Methods were explored to solve rehydration difficulty. Agglomeration was a valid method for enhancing the wetting of dairy …

The effect of dehydration and rehydration on physiology parameters associated with maximal rowing performance
… in a maximal rowing trial following partial rehydration with water after rapid weight loss.

Formulation, physicochemical and rehydration properties of whey protein powders containing nanoparticulated whey protein structures
… bulk density, or colour and, in addition, the rehydration performance was analysed and compared with original WPIC powder. The third chapter examined the rehydration properties of the powders produced in chapter two. Powder surface nanostructure and elemental composition were investigated using …

Aspects of the prevention of light damage during drying and rehydration of the desiccation-tolerant grass Eragrostis nindensis
… were found on the entire length of the leaf. On rehydration, E. nindensis lost the anthocyanins as it reconstituted chlorophylls. Neither species showed marked increases in electrolyte leakage but E. curvula did not recover on rewatering.

Water stress protein is secreted, is subject to rapid proteolysis upon rehydration of desiccated cells, and may be glycosylated
… in staining characteristics and after 24h of rehydration a single darkly staining area was resolved. Immunocytochemical analysis revealed that a fraction of Wsp is secreted, and accumulates as a very discrete layer at and around the periphery of the envelope of both vegetative cells and …

Characterization of membrane lipids and, Changes therein during desiccation and rehydration of the resurrection plant Xerophyta humilis (Bak) Dur and Schinz
… at different stages of dehydration and rehydration treatments in the resurrection plant Xerophyta humilis (Bak) Dur and Schniz. This was done in order to ascertain their roles during acquisition of desiccation tolerance in X. humilis. The galactolipids and glycerophospholipids acyl chain …

A comparison of some potential indicators of desiccation-tolerance in 2 Poikilochlorophyllous Xerophyta species and Homiochlorophyllous Craterostigma wilmsii
… hexokinase activities were also examined during rehydration of the three species. Sucrose was accumulated during dehydration in all species examined. However, C. wilmsii had completed sucrose accumulation by the intermediate stages of drying, whereas Xhumilis exhibited a late accumulation. It was …

Characterization of XVEF and XvCaM : two calcium-binding proteins isolated from the resurrection plant Xerophyta viscosa
… levels of the transcript. Under the dehydration/rehydration treatment transcript levels decreased between 40% R WC dehydration and 26% RWC rehydration. The northern blot conducted with polysomal RNA isolated from 150 mM NaCI treatment also showed constitutive expression. Western blot analyses …

Protection mechanisms against excess light in Myrothamnus flabellifolius (Welw.)
… contents were measured during dehydration and rehydration. Ultrastructural studies and examination of electrolyte leakage provided an indication of the subcellular changes in leaf tissues. There was no significant difference in the protectron mechanisms of restrained and unrestrained leaves …

Single frequency whole-body impedance studies in children with diarrhoeal disease and development of a variable frequency system
… was measured both before and after rehydration. The dehydrated group had a mean WBI on admission of 1089 Ω and a standard deviation of 149 Ω with a 95 % confidence interval for the mean from 950 Ω to 1109 Ω. This value was significantly greater than that of the normal group. The WBI …

Molecular Biology of Desiccation Tolerance in the Cyanobacterium Nostoc commune
… superoxide dismutase was released following rehydration of desiccated field material N. commune CHEN after 13 years in the dry state. sodF mRNA was present in the dry material but was turned over within 15 min of rehydration. mRNA levels then rose and appeared to reach steady state levels …

Desiccation-driven senescence in the resurrection plant Xerophyta schlechteri (Baker) N.L. Menezes
… older tissues, however, fail to recover during rehydration and ultimately senesce. Comparison of the desiccation-associated responses of older senescent tissues (ST) with non-senescent tissues (NST) will allow for understanding of mechanisms promoting senescence in the former and prevention of …
