Journal ArticleDOI
Is oral rice electrolyte solution superior to glucose electrolyte solution in infantile diarrhoea
TL;DR: In a controlled trial of oral rehydration therapy, a rice-based electrolyte solution was evaluated in a group of infants and young children with moderate to severe dehydration owing to acute diarrhoea and was found to be more effective than the matched control group.
Journal Article
Rice-based oral rehydration solution decreases the stool volume in acute diarrhoea.
TL;DR: The study shows that, even under epidemic conditions of severe Cholera or in cholera-like diarrhea, the glucose or sucrose solutions can be replaced by rice powder with improved results.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cholera, diarrhea, and oral rehydration therapy: triumph and indictment.
TL;DR: New advances in oral rehydration and nutrition therapy and new methods to recognize its costs are discussed in this review.
Journal ArticleDOI
Food-based oral rehydration salt solution for acute childhood diarrhoea.
TL;DR: Food-based ORT should be more acceptable to users in developing countries since the mixtures are similar to traditional weaning foods and since, unlike standard ORT, it reduces stool output substantially.

Oral rehydration solutions in non-cholera diarrhea: a review
Antwan Atia,Alan L. Buchman +1 more
TL;DR: The standard WHO-ORS is reviewed, followed by more contemporary reduced osmolarity ORS and rice-based ORS in non-cholera diarrhea and various modifications to improve ORS are also discussed.

Ion Transport in Isolated Rabbit Ileum : II. The interaction between active sodium and active sugar transport
Stanley G. Schultz,Ralph Zalusky +1 more
TL;DR: An interpretation of findings in terms of a hypothetical model for intestinal Na and sugar transport is presented, suggesting that the increase in active Na transport is stoichiometrically related to the rate of active sugar transport.

Test for enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli using Y-1 adrenal cells in miniculture.
David A. Sack,R B Sack +1 more
TL;DR: A rapid, potentially clinically useful test for detection of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli is described and the tissue culture technique agreed with the rabbit ileal loop in all 58 enterotoxic and 52 non-enterotoxic E. coli strains tested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decrease in net stool output in cholera during intestinal perfusion with glucose-containing solutions.
TL;DR: Since intestinal sodium absorption was so enhanced by an actively transported sugar, fructose and galactose perfusion fluids were prepared, and it was found that fructose was less well absorbed than glucose or Galactose: in general, the results with these sugars were consistent with the sodium-dependent active transport of galactOSE and the passive transport of fructose.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oral maintenance therapy for cholera in adults.
TL;DR: An oral solution containing glucose, sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, and potassium chloride or citrate was used as maintenance therapy for acute cholera, and patients who received the oral solution required 80% less intravenous fluids for cure.
