The corrosion of metal by palmar sweat.
The problem of metal corrosion resulting from contamination by palmar sweat is common to many industrial occupations. Constant handling of metal parts by some individuals causes an accumulation of rust (Fig. 1). In the manufacture of highlyfinished metal products, for example ball-bearings, and also in subsequent assembling and packing processes, serious consideration must be given to this effe...
متن کاملFatigue 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...
متن کاملEffect of transdermal botulinum toxin on sweat secretion in subjects with idiopathic palmar hyperhidrosis.
SIR, We explored whether a simple unassisted transdermal delivery of botulinum toxin type A (BTX) is effective for treating palmar hyperhidrosis. Palmar hyperhidrosis is common and troublesome. Nonsurgical treatments include topical antiperspirants, iontophoresis, anticholinergic drugs and botulinum toxin injections. Most antiperspirants contain 1–2% aluminium salts and, although convenient and...
متن کاملMicrowave thermolysis of sweat glands.
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 ...
متن کاملImmediate reduction in sweat secretion with electric current application in primary palmar hyperhidrosis.
W e present herein data showing for the first time to our knowledge that dry iontophoresis rapidly induces anhidrosis during current application in individuals with hyperhidrosis. This finding provides a novel experimental model for evaluating treatments of hyperhidrosis and determining their mechanism of action. Tap water iontophoresis, during which the patient’s hands are soaked in shallow pa...
