12/01/1993 - "Due to high literacy rate and health consciousness, the educated and majority of literate parents of Patna town were better aware, more factual and had rational view regarding causes, method of prevention, fundamentals of use of ORS and home management of diarrhea in children, although certain aspects are yet to be cleared to them.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)"
11/01/1991 - "Among children with rotavirus diarrhea, no significant differences were observed between the 23 children who received improved ORS and the 20 who received standard ORS."
11/01/1991 - "Improved ORS did not produce significant reduction in the volume of diarrhea stools. "
12/01/2010 - "R-ORS was more effective in the management of acute watery diarrhea in children. "

12/01/2010 - "After the intervention, there was a significant (p=0.000) improvement in acquaintance to the term 'ORS' (65-98%), along with its method of reconstitution from packets (13-69%); preparation of home-made sugar-salt solution (10-74%); role of both in the prevention of dehydration (30-74%) and importance of their daily preparation (74-96%); and continuation of breastfeeding during diarrhoea (47-90%) in the intervention area. "
07/01/1996 - "During the last 16 yr numerous studies were undertaken to develop an improved ORS that could, in addition to being effective therapy to treat and prevent dehydration, reduce severity and duration of diarrhoea. "
03/01/2005 - "The plantain flour-based solution proved effective and safe in correcting dehydration; however the antidiarrhoeal properties of ORS/plaintain were not demonstrated."
01/01/2007 - "This study sought to assess whether mothers' understanding of diarrhoea-related dehydration influenced their use of ORS in home treatment. "
06/01/2013 - "Health care providers must emphasise about the role of ORS in prevention of dehydration so that mothers give ORS to the child."

12/01/1991 - "On the other hand, non-cholera patients treated with improved ORS had significantly smaller diarrhoeic stool volumes during the six to 24-hour significantly smaller diarrhoeic stool volumes during the six to 24-hour period (i.e. "
01/01/2001 - "Complex substrate ORS, which is also usually hypotonic, has been shown to have increased efficacy in cholera but not in other bacterial or viral diarrhoeas. "
04/01/1994 - " During the Bangladesh liberation war, Dr. Dilip Mahalanabis showed the efficacy of ORS in cholera cases among Bangladeshi refugees (1971-72) and Sircar et al in 1978 demonstrated the efficacy of ORS in a cholera epidemic in Manipur. "
12/01/1991 - "The improved ORS did not reduce the volume of diarrhoeic stools in cholera; indeed, patients with cholera who were treated with improved ORS had larger diarrhoea stool volumes. "
01/01/2011 - "Randomized controlled trials comparing ORS ≤ 270 with ORS ≥ 310 for treating adults and children with acute diarrhoea due to cholera. "

03/01/1999 - "In recovery experiments, animals with free access to ORS with TX had significantly greater weight gain and decreased stool output compared with animals recovering with water or ORS without TX. "
11/01/1991 - "Children given improved ORS had greater weight gain than that observed in children treated with standard ORS, but the differences were not statistically significant except at the end of the first 24 h. "
05/01/1987 - "Though differences in stool volumes and duration in the three groups were not statistically different, there was a trend toward improvement in efficacy with the pop rice ORS in several parameters: greater weight gain, higher percentage decline in TSS, higher urine output despite lower ORS intake, and lower purging rates. "
04/01/1991 - "An additional longitudinal study showed that improved growth and weight gain occurred with the consistent use of ORS; the effect was greater when rice-based ORS were used. "
03/01/2015 - "In a regression model adjusted for demographic factors and depressive symptoms, among girls, binge drinking was associated with 5 of the 6 eating problems with odds ratios (ORs) ranging from 1.21 (upset about weight gain) to 1.68 (excessive eating). "

10/01/2007 - "ORS are the only life-saving treatment for gastroenteritis, which has proved its efficacy for the past 50 years: it is time to use it on a routine basis."

10/01/2007 - "Parents should be aware of the risks of gastroenteritis in infants, also parents should know how to use ORS. "
08/01/2004 - "Guidelines for efficacious use of ORS in the management of acute gastroenteritis and short gut syndrome are also provided."
