m C m Gustatory sweating is a fairly common complication after surgery or injury of the parotid gland. The pathogenesis is based on aberrant nerve regeneration between the parasympathetic fibers of the salivary glands and the sympathetic fibers of the cutaneous sweat glands or blood vessels. Inappropriate inneration leads to local cutaneous sweating and vasodiation during mastication. A similar...

The present study investigated resting cardiac autonomic function in Japanese climacteric women using heart rate variability (HRV) power spectral analysis to evaluate the relationship between HRV indices and estrogen, as well as the ability of each HRV index to predict vasomotor symptoms. Forty-five peri- and postmenopausal women completed a questionnaire about the presence of vasomotor symptom...

Scrophulariae Radix is one of the most popular traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs), which needs to be processed by 'sweating' methods. Primary processing of Scrophulariae Radix is an important link which closely relates to the quality of products in this TCM. To facilitate selection of the suitable 'sweating' processing method for Scrophulariae Radix, in this study the quality of Scrophulariae...

DAWSON, TERENCE J., DAVID ROBERTSHAW, AND C. RICHARD TAYLOR. Sweating in the kangaroo: a cooling mechanism during exercise, but not in the heat. Am. J. Physiol. 227(Z) : 494498. 1974.-The red kangaroo (Megaleia rufa) uses three evaporative cooling mechanisms : panting, sweating, and saliva spreading. Sweating only occurs during exercise. Resting kangaroos pant and spread saliva when faced with ...

Significant differences in sweating rate between micro-areas of cattle skin have been demonstrated and the differences in morphology between these contrasting areas investigated. Variation in sweating rate over the skin was most marked when the coat was longest and follicle activity and sweating rate least. Among the characters most closely related to sweating performance were percentage of fol...

Sweating is an important mechanism in the regulation of body temperature. Hyperhidrosis is defined as the production of excess sweat, beyond the amount required to return elevated body temperature to normal, which is slightly below 37°C1. Hyperhidrosis can be divided into primary and secondary forms. Primary, or essential, hyperhidrosis occurs typically in young individuals experiencing mental ...

Our unpublished observation that a lateral decubitus posture influences the pattern of sweating was systematically tested by measuring galvanic skin resistance (GSR). Changes in the GSR between two electrodes placed on skin was used to quantify the degree of sweating. In the lateral posture, sweating is inhibited on the lower half and stimulated on the upper half and reversal of the lateral pos...
