Abstract Adopting foliar antiperspirants reduces the negative effects of water stress on crop production. In this study chitosan (Ch) and potassium silicate (PS) maize sowing at two dates under irrigation levels (100% applied −Ir 00 70% 70 ) were investigated. Thus, during spring fall seasons 2020–2021, a field experiment similar experiments was conducted experimental farm Water Studies Researc...

The design of chemical formulations is a challenging, high-dimensional problem. In typical formulations, tens thousands ingredients are available for use, yet only tiny fraction end up in given formulation. Deformulation, the problem reverse engineering precise amounts each ingredient starting from just list ingredients, similarly challenging but key capability staying up-to-date with industry ...

BACKGROUND Eccrine sweat secretion is of central importance for control of body temperature. Although the incidence of sweat gland dysfunction might appear of minor importance, it can be a real concern for people with either hypohidrosis or hyperhidrosis. However, sweat gland function remains relatively poorly explored. OBJECTIVES To investigate the function of single human sweat glands. ME...

Aluminium is the third most frequent element in the earth's crust and occurs naturally in drinking water and other foods, particularly in fruit and vegetables. For consumers the main uptake route is food. There may be additional exposure from aluminium-containing foodcontact articles like kitchen utensils, cans, foils or tubes from which the light metal migrates into the food. Furthermore, alum...

BACKGROUND While primary hyperhidrosis can be seen in men, accompanying hot flushes is rarely seen in men. Primary hyperhidrosis is thought to be related to overactivity of the sympathetic nervous system while hot flushes are believed to be related to altered peripheral vascular reactivity and a narrowed thermoregulatory zone. CASE PRESENTATION I report the case of a 29-year-old man of Arab o...

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...

This issue of Journal of Applied Toxicology publishes the paper Concentrations of Parabens in Human Breast Tumours by Darbre et al. (2004), which reports that esters of p-hydroxybenzoic acid (parabens) can be detected in samples of tissue from human breast tumours. Breast tumour samples were supplied from 20 patients, in collaboration with the Edinburgh Breast Unit Research Group, and analysed ...

The development of silicone elastomers with hydrophilic functionality in the form of PEG substituents provides benefits beyond the rheology modification (thickening) that can be achieved with silicone elastomers that lack functional substituents. We have shown that PEG-modified dimethicone crosspolymer (PEG-DCP) is an effective emulsifier for water-in-silicone (w/s) emulsions where the continuo...

The socially embarrassing disorder of excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, and its treatment options are gaining widespread attention. In order of frequency, palmar-plantar, palmar-axillary, Isolated axillary, and cranlofacial hyperhidrosis are distinct disorders of sudomotor regulation. A common link among these disorders is an excessive, nonthermoregulatory sweat response often to emotional ...
