Assessing Body Temperature - Axilla

Assessing Body Temperature - Axilla

Procedural Guide for Assessing Axillary Body Temperature using a Digital Thermometer:
Step 1: Perform hand hygiene and put on clean gloves to maintain infection control and prevent cross-contamination.
Step 2: Prepare the patient by explaining the procedure to ensure understanding and cooperation. Ensure privacy, expose the axilla, and inform the patient that minimal movement is crucial for an accurate reading.
Step 3: Adjust the patient’s clothing to expose only the axilla. It minimizes...

Accessory Structures of the Skin: Sweat Glands

Accessory Structures of the Skin: Sweat Glands

Sweat glands or sudoriferous glands are one of the important accessory structures of the skin. They are small, coiled tubular structures located in the dermis, the middle layer of the skin. Sweat glands are responsible for producing and secreting sweat, a watery fluid that helps regulate body temperature and excrete waste products.
Sweat glands are classified as merocrine glands; that is, the secretions are excreted by exocytosis through a duct without affecting the cells of the gland. There...

Area of Science:

Dermatology
Medical Technology

Background:

Axillary hyperhidrosis is a prevalent condition with substantial psychosocial and occupational impacts.
Current treatments for axillary hyperhidrosis can be challenging and may have limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the 1,064-nm Nd-YAG laser for treating axillary hyperhidrosis.

Main Methods:

A cohort of 17 patients with axillary hyperhidrosis underwent treatment with a subdermal 1,064-nm Nd-YAG laser.
Patient and physician evaluations, Minor's iodine starch test with planimetry, and histological analysis were used to assess outcomes.

Main Results:

Subdermal laser treatment with the 1,064-nm Nd-YAG laser demonstrated significant clinical improvement in patients with axillary hyperhidrosis.

Conclusions:

The Nd-YAG laser presents a minimally invasive option for axillary hyperhidrosis, avoiding significant scarring and temporary impairment.
The laser treatment is effective and safe, though further research is recommended to confirm these findings.
