An ECG is recorded (Figure 1), and immediately after, the cardiac catheterization laboratory is ac...

The purpose of this study is to investigate the thermophysiological significance of hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties of underwear materials under the influences of profuse sweating produced during severe exercise in the cold. Two kinds of underwear were used: two layers of cotton underwear with two-piece long-sleeved shirt and full-trousers (C), and two layers of polypropylene underwear w...

This article describes a procedure for the study of destructive obedience in the laboratory. It coruists of ordering a naive S to administer increasingly more w e r e punishment to a victim in the context of a learning experiment. Punishment is .administered by means of a shock generator with 30 graded switches ranging from Slight Shock to Danger: Severe Shock. The victim is a confederate of th...

With the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5; hereinafter referred to as the DSM when used in the general sense) set for release in May 2013, counselors are awaiting changes that may affect how they diagnose. A significant proposed change to the DSM-5 is the addition of dimensional assessments to the categorical diagnoses (American Psychiatric Assoc...

The drug itself is inexpensive, and goes a long way; it would require a large number of cases to get through an ounce during the year, and its price is only about one quarter that of quinine. I now use nitrite of amyl mixed with an equal part of oil of coriander, to render it less volatile, and at the same time to cover what is, to my sense of smell, a most disagreeable odour. I find it acts be...

Accretion flows may produce profuse winds when they have positive specific energy. Winds deplete matter from the inner region of the disk and makes the inner region thinner, optically. Since there are fewer electrons in this region, it becomes easier to Comptonize this part by the soft photons which are intercepted from the Keplerian disk farther out. We present a self-consistent picture of win...

To evaluate the degree of heart rate (HR) changes at rest (HRrest), during breath hold (HRtest), and during cardiac CT examinations (HRscan) in a large group of patients , and to derive and asses the feasibility of a predictive formula for HRscan. HRrest, HRtest, and HRscan were retrospectively compared in a total of 563 consecutive patients who underwent 320-row cardiac CT. Multiple regression...

The case of a patient with episodic hypothermia and profuse sweating believed to be due to diencephalic epilepsy is reported. Despite intensive investigations no other manifestations of hypothalamic dysfunction were found. Conventional antiepileptic drugs were without effect but the patient was successfully treated by total sympathectomy.

Only two of the epidemics of the English sweating sickness have been the subject of modern demographic studies. Robert Gottfried analysed the mortality of the 1485 epidemic by studying probated wills, and John Wylie and Ian Linn, and more recently Alan Dyer, analysed the 1551 epidemic on the basis of parish burial registers. The epidemic of the sweat in England in 1528, which is of special inte...

Background: Approximately, 3% of the world’s population have hyperhidrosis, a situation in which excessive sweating occurs in response to the need to regulate body temperature. Endoscopic devices have been used for treatment of this disease through sympathicotomy. Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness and adverse effects of endoscopic sympathicotomy in treatment of h...
