The full form of ORT depends on the context. ORT can stand for several things:
1. Oral Rehydration Therapy
This is the most common meaning of ORT. Oral rehydration therapy (ORT) is a life-saving treatment for dehydration caused by diarrhea. It involves drinking a specific solution containing salts (sodium, glucose, potassium, and citrate) and sugar mixed with clean water. This solution helps the body absorb fluids and electrolytes, preventing and treating dehydration. [^1, ^2, ^8, ^9] The World Health Organization (WHO) has even updated the recommended formula. [^2] ORT is a simple, inexpensive, and highly effective method for managing dehydration, especially in children, and has saved millions of lives. [^3]
2. Other Meanings of ORT
Besides oral rehydration therapy, ORT can also refer to:
- A scrap or morsel of food: This is a less common usage, referring to leftover food. [^4, ^7]
- Organized Retail Theft: In the context of law enforcement and crime prevention, ORT can stand for Organized Retail Theft. For instance, grant programs exist to combat this type of crime. [^5]
- The Society for Trades and Agricultural Labor: In Russian, the original meaning of ORT was "Obshestvo Remeslennogo i zemledelcheskogo Truda". [^6]
- Odd Remnants and Threads: In the context of knitting or sewing, ORT might stand for "odd remnants and threads" or "old raggedy thread". [^10]
