Methods of reducing fever01:22

Methods of reducing fever

1.6K
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.

Accessory Structures of the Skin: Sweat Glands

4.8K
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...

Hand hygiene

Asepsis is the practice of preventing or breaking the chain of infection. The nurse employs aseptic techniques to prevent the spread of microorganisms and reduce the risk of diseases. Hand hygiene is the cornerstone of aseptic techniques and is classified into medical and surgical asepsis. Medical asepsis includes hand hygiene and the use of gloves. Surgical asepsis, or the sterile technique, refers to practices that render and keep objects and areas free of microorganisms.

Surface Membrane Barriers01:18

Surface Membrane Barriers

3.6K
The skin and mucous membranes serve as the primary line of defense against pathogens by providing both physical and chemical protection. These barriers are essential in preventing the entry and establishment of microbes, thereby maintaining the integrity of the host.
The outer layer of the skin, the epidermis, is a robust barrier comprising layers of closely packed keratinized cells. This dense arrangement prevents microbes from penetrating the body. The periodic shedding of epidermal cells...

Behavior Therapy01:22

Behavior Therapy

1.0K
Behavior therapy incorporates diverse techniques rooted in classical conditioning principles to address maladaptive behaviors and anxiety disorders. These methods aim to reduce avoidance behaviors, foster adaptive coping mechanisms, and alter associations between stimuli and responses, making them effective in a wide range of therapeutic contexts.
Exposure therapy is a cornerstone of behavioral treatment for anxiety disorders. It involves systematic exposure to feared stimuli, either in real...

Decreased Body Temperature01:29

Decreased Body Temperature

1.2K
A decreased body temperature can occur in patients with hypothermia and frostbite. Heat loss with extended cold exposure overpowers the body's ability to create heat, resulting in hypothermia. Core temperature readings help classify hypothermia. Mild hypothermia is temperatures between 32 °C (89.6 °F) and 35°C (95 °F) and is caused by impaired thermoregulation. Moderate hypothermia is temperatures between 28 C (82.4 °F) and 32 °C (89.6 °F) caused by...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Historically, systemic therapies for hyperhidrosis were contraindicated due to safety concerns and limited efficacy data.
  • Recent evidence suggests improved safety and effectiveness of systemic treatments when used appropriately.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review available systemic therapies for hyperhidrosis.
  • To highlight their potential role in managing widespread, multifocal, or treatment-resistant hyperhidrosis.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on systemic treatments for hyperhidrosis.
  • Analysis of efficacy and tolerability data for various drug classes.

Main Results:

  • Systemic therapies, including oral anticholinergics, antihypertensives, and psychoactive agents, demonstrate effectiveness.
  • These treatments generally exhibit a favorable tolerability profile when used correctly.
  • They offer a valuable therapeutic option for challenging hyperhidrosis cases.

Conclusions:

  • Systemic therapies are a viable treatment option for hyperhidrosis, especially for severe or resistant cases.
  • Oral anticholinergics are a key focus, though not FDA-approved for this indication.
  • Further research and appropriate use are essential for optimizing systemic hyperhidrosis treatment.
