Apocrine chromhidrosis is a very rare, idiopathic disorder of the sweat glands characterized by the secretion of colored sweat. Because hormonal induction increases sweating, the symptoms of apocrine chromhidrosis usually begin after puberty. Although treatment may not be necessary in some cases, capsaicin cream and 20% aluminum chloride hexahydrate solution have been successfully used to treat...

Nanocrystalline ceria has been synthesized by a non-hydrolytic method using organic solvent and precipitant. The effect of the source compound on final nanocrystalline powder was investigated. The cerium nitrate hexahydrate subjected to different vacuum/thermal treatments to get cerium source compound having different extent of water of crystallization. The nanoceria, synthesized from these com...

Aluminum chloride hexahydrate concentration-dependently inhibits perspiration and is highly effective in palmar and axillary hyperhidrosis. The main effect is in the sealing of the sweat glands, the precipitation of aluminum-mucopolysaccharide-complexes and the damage to the epithelial cells in the excretory ducts of the eccrine sweat glands result in sealing of these ducts. Other aluminum salt...

BACKGROUND Rubbing moist skin results in higher frictional forces than rubbing very dry skin. As friction increases, the probability of activity-related blisters also increases. Therefore reducing moisture may reduce blister incidence during physical activity. OBJECTIVE We examined whether an antiperspirant can reduce foot blisters during hiking. METHODS In a double-blind study, cadets atte...

The stoichiometric nickel oxide is an insulator while it becomes a p-type semiconductor with the presence of divalent and trivalent states. Here nonstoichiometric nanoparticles (NiO${}_{x}$NPs) were synthesized via chemical route using two different starter salts; chloride hexahydrate nitrate hexahydrate. investigated by X-ray diffraction transmission electron microscopy, scanning to determine ...
