In 1980, 104 infants with seven to 15 percent dehydration due to severe diarrhea and vomiting were hospitalized in Tehran and treated in two separate phases, deficit therapy and maintenance therapy, using two isotonic oral solutions. For deficit therapy, solution A (sodium 80, potassium 20 mmol/l) was administered at a rate of 40 ml/kg per hour until all signs of dehydration disappeared. ⋯ Intravenous fluids were not used, even in severe dehydration and shock. The efficacy and safety of this regimen were confirmed by rapid and successful rehydration and correction of electrolyte abnormalities present on admission.

The medial tarsal tunnel syndrome is a compression neuropathy involving the tibial nerve or its branches as they pass through the tarsal tunnel under the flexor retinaculum. Medial tarsal tunnel syndrome is not recognized as readily as its counterpart in the wrist. This syndrome can lead to a painful burning sensation in the medial border of the foot and into the great toe. ⋯ This paper reviews the anatomy, etiology, pathology, clinical presentation, and treatment of the medial tarsal tunnel syndrome. In order to bring more attention to this condition, our clinical experience is presented. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 1984;6(1):39-45.
