David R. Nalin (born April 21, 1941) is an American physiologist, and Pollin Prize for Pediatric Research and Prince Mahidol Award, a.k.a. Mahidol Medal winner. Nalin had the key insight that oral rehydration therapy (ORT) would work if the volume of solution patients drank matched the volume of their fluid losses, and that this would drastically reduce or completely replace the only current treatment for cholera, intravenous therapy. Nalin led the trials that first demonstrated ORT works, both in cholera patients, and more significantly, also in other dehydrating diarrhea illnesses. Nalin's discoveries have been estimated to have saved over 50 million lives worldwide.

  • David R. Nalin (né le 21 avril 1941) est un physiologiste américain. Il a anticipé qu'une personne atteinte de choléra pouvait guérir de cette maladie si elle consommait le même volume de soluté de réhydratation orale que le volume de fluides perdu. En collaboration avec (en) et (en), il a par la suite mené des études qui ont démontré l'efficacité de ce traitement pour plusieurs maladies qui induisent des pertes importantes de liquides corporels.Cette méthode a largement remplacé les autres méthodes de traitement, dont l'injection intraveineuse. Elle aurait permis de sauver des millions de personnes. (fr)
