Monitoring Electrical Skin Conductance

Monitoring of skin conductance to assess postoperative pain intensity.

BACKGROUND Pain is known to alter the electrogalvanic properties of the skin. The aim of this pilot study was to investigate the influence of postoperative pain on skin conductance (SC) readings. METHODS After obtaining ethical approval and written informed consent, 25 postoperative patients were asked to quantify their level of pain on a numeric rating scale (NRS, 0-10) at different time poi...

Waveform difference between skin conductance and skin potential responses in relation to electrical and evaporative properties of skin.

The shapes of skin conductance (SC) and skin potential (SP) responses are often similar, but can also be very different due to an unexplained cause. Using a new method to measure SC and SP simultaneously at the same electrode, this difference was investigated in a new way by comparing their temporal peak differences. SC, SP, skin susceptance (SS), and transepidermal water loss (TEWL) were recor...

Application of Skin Electrical Conductance of Acupuncture Meridians for Ureteral Calculus: A Case Report

Renal colic is a common condition seen in the emergency department (ED). Our recent study showed that measures of electrical conductance may be used as supplementary diagnostic methods for patients with acute renal colic. Here, we describe the case of a 30-year-old male subject with a left ureteral calculus who presented with frequency and normal-looking urine. He had already visited the outpat...

Metal-like Electrical Conductance in Boron Fullerenes

Electron transport properties of B-fullerenes, B80 and B100, are investigated with the use of the first-principles density functional theory (DFT), in conjunction with the Landauer-Büttiker formalism and compared with C-fullerene, C60, under similar conditions. The differential conductance and the tunnel current for B-fullerenes sandwiched between Au contacts are calculated to be much higher th...
