Interaction of Textiles with the Skin – from Perception to Irritation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The majority of textile interaction with the human body is by skin contact of clothing. The human skin is the largest organ of the body with a multitude of functions and the largest representation in the brain. This presentation presents first results of a neurophysiological study on subconscious textile perception and the influence of friction on perception as well as on mechanical skin irritation. Additionally, the influence of textiles on the physiological human skin flora was investigated in order to get a closer look on the influence of textiles with the microbiological aspect of a healthy human skin.

متن کاملFormulation, In-vitro Evaluations and Skin Irritation Study of Losartan Potassium Transdermal Patches
Losartan potassium is a well known orally active non-peptide angiotensin II receptor antagonist. Losartan potassium and its principle active metabolites block the vasoconstrictor and aldosterone secreting effect of angiotensin II by selectively blocking the binding of angiotensin II to AT1 receptors. The drug is reported to promote the decrease in ventricular hypertrophy, salt ...
