BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Hyperhidrosis is a condition that affects a large percentage of the population and has a significant impact on peoples' lives. This report presents a technical overview of a new noninvasive, microwave-based device for creating thermolysis of sweat glands. The fundamental principles of operation of the device are presented, as well as the design and optimization of the ...

Fatigue of the sweat glands.

The rate of sweat secretion has been shown to decrease during prolonged exposure to heat (1-3). This phenomenon has practical importance in the etiology of heat stroke, since the evaporation of sweat is the only significant means for dissipating heat when the environmental temperature equals or exceeds the body temperature. It is not known whether this decrease in sweating rate is due to a fail...
