Objective:
The objective of this study was to assess factors related to renal function in crane operators at a port container terminal in Indonesia.
Methods:
A cross-sectional study on crane operators in Medan Container Terminal, Indonesia, was conducted. Renal function was measured through Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR). Individual characteristics such as age, nutritional status, fluid consumption, hydration status, and physical activity level were collected. Fluid consumption was obtained from a 24-h food recall questionnaire. Physical activity was measured based on the Bouchard questionnaire. Association was determined by calculating the odds ratio (OR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI).
Results:
A total of 87 subjects were involved. All were male with the median age of 30.1 ± 2.4 years old. The prevalence of decreased renal function was 49.4%. Inadequate fluid consumption (OR = 6.1, 95% CI 2.1 -17.7; p<0.001) significantly increase the risk of renal function decreased, while being overweight/obese (OR 3.3, 95% CI 0.7 -11.7;p<0.125) and dehydration (OR 2.3, 95% CI 0.8-26.9; p=0.111) also increase the risk although not significantly.
Conclusion
Inadequate fluid consumption increases the risk of decline in the renal function of crane operators in the container terminal. A company should regularly monitor and evaluate the kidney function of this group of workers through annual medical checkups and provide easier access to drinking water and convenient toilets to improve fluid consumption of the workers.

Although fiber-reinforced posts have been widely used, they sometimes fail to obtain sufficient retention because of an extremely large canal space. To address this, several techniques have been introduced including relining of the fiber-reinforced posts. Here, we used a relined glass-fiber post to increase retention and fitness to the root canal in a crown reattachment case. The relining procedure was performed by using an indirect method on the working cast. This case also highlights the esthetic concerns regarding dehydration of the attached crown fragment.

Although it is a rare condition, breast-feeding may result in hypernatremic dehydration. However, incidences might be increasing with more mothers breast-feeding. Although the early detection and management of hypernatremic dehydration from breast-feeding is important, its prevention is even more important on account of its serious complications. In order to prevent hypernatremic dehydration secondary to breast-feeding, it is essential to educate mothers in successful breast-feeding methods. An early follow-up after discharge is recommended. We report a case of hypernatremic dehydration secondary to breast-feeding in a full-term newborn that was corrected without any complications.

A case of isolated hypoaldosteronism 5 month old male infant was presented. He was admitted to the pediatric ward with the chief complants of frequent vomiting, dehydration, lethargy and failure to thrive. The diagnosis was established by salt-losing manifestation, laboratory fiding and good response after salt-retaining steroid therapy. A brief review of related literatures were also presented.

The Korean Journal of Gastroenterology 2017;70(6):283-287
Many disorders can cause either acute or chronic vomiting. However, in most cases, vomiting is self-limited. A correct diagnosis is possible by conducting careful histories and physical examinations. In cases of severe vomiting, further testing, including laboratory studies, radiological images, endoscopic evaluation, and gastrointestinal motility tests, can also be considered. The correction of clinical consequences of vomiting should be initiated, including dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, malnutrition, and suppression of symptoms via the use empirical antiemetic treatments. Moreover, underlying disorders should be treated using dietary, pharmacological, and even surgical interventions.

10.The impact of fire suppression tasks on firefighter hydration: a critical review with consideration of the utility of reported hydration measures.

BACKGROUND: Firefighting is a highly stressful occupation with unique physical challenges, apparel and environments that increase the potential for dehydration. Dehydration leaves the firefighter at risk of harm to their health, safety and performance. The purpose of this review was to critically analyse the current literature investigating the impact of fighting ‘live’ fires on firefighter hydration. METHODS: A systematic search was performed of four electronic databases for relevant published studies investigating the impact of live fire suppression on firefighter hydration. Study eligibility was assessed using strict inclusion and exclusion criteria. The included studies were critically appraised using the Downs and Black protocol and graded according to the Kennelly grading system. RESULTS: Ten studies met the eligibility criteria for this review. The average score for methodological quality was 55 %, ranging from 50 % (‘fair’ quality) to 61 % (‘good’ quality) with a ‘substantial agreement’ between raters (k = .772). Wildfire suppression was considered in five studies and structural fire suppression in five studies. Results varied across the studies, reflecting variations in outcome measures, hydration protocols and interventions. Three studies reported significant indicators of dehydration resulting from structural fire suppression, while two studies found mixed results, with some measures indicating dehydration and other measures an unchanged hydration status. Three studies found non-significant changes in hydration resulting from wildfire firefighting and two studies found significant improvements in markers of hydration. Ad libitum fluid intake was a common factor across the studies finding no, or less severe, dehydration. CONCLUSIONS: The evidence confirms that structural and wildfire firefighting can cause dehydration. Ad libitum drinking may be sufficient to maintain hydration in many wildfire environments but possibly not during intense, longer duration, hot structural fire operations. Future high quality research better quantifying the effects of these influences on the degree of dehydration is required to inform policies and procedures that ensure firefighter health and safety.
