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...

Methods of reducing fever

Methods of reducing fever

The signs and symptoms of fever include hot and dry skin, flushed face, thirst, muscle aches, anorexia, headache, tachycardia, tachypnea, and fatigue. Elevated body temperature is reduced using two methods: pharmacological and nonpharmacological. Proper identification and treatment of the root cause of a fever is of utmost importance.
Pharmacological Methods of Reducing Fever:

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:

Hyperhidrosis is excessive sweating unrelated to thermoregulation.
Novel energy-based treatments are emerging for hyperhidrosis management.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate new energy-based treatment options for axillary hyperhidrosis.
To assess the efficacy and safety of microwave, laser, and photodynamic therapies.

Main Methods:

Review of emerging energy-based modalities including microwave devices, thermal Nd:YAG lasers with interstitial fiber, and photodynamic therapy.
Discussion of potential benefits and risks associated with each technique.

Main Results:

Microwave devices, laser therapy, and photodynamic therapy show potential for long-lasting efficacy in treating axillary hyperhidrosis.
Laser fiber insertion carries risks if not expertly performed; microwave devices are commercially available.
Photodynamic therapy using eosin gel and a pulsed flashlamp is an attractive option, but requires further clinical validation.

Conclusions:

Energy-based treatments offer promising new avenues for axillary hyperhidrosis.
Larger clinical studies with extended follow-up are necessary to definitively establish the value of these novel approaches.
