Identification of suitable biomarkers for stress and emotion detection for future personal affective wearable sensors [PDF]
Skin conductivity (i.e., sweat) forms the basis of many physiology-based emotion and stress detection systems. However, such systems typically do not detect the biomarkers present in sweat, and thus do not take advantage of the biological information in ...

Long term compensatory sweating results after sympathectomy for palmar and axillary hyperhidrosis [PDF]
Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy is currently the best treatment for primary upper extremity hyperhidrosis, but the potential for adverse effects, particularly the development of compensatory sweating, is a concern and often precludes surgery as a ...

Translation and validation of Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale [PDF]
Introduction: The evaluation of patients with hyperhidrosis (HH) can be accomplished, among other ways, through questionnaires and scales. The Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale (HDSS) has been used as a simple and quick tool to perform this evaluation.

Anti-Spoof Reliable Biometry of Fingerprints Using En-Face Optical Coherence Tomography [PDF]
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a relatively new imaging technology which can produce high-reso- lution images of three-dimensional structures. OCT has been mainly used for medical applications such as for ophthalmology and dermatology.

Management of Postsurgical Hyperhidrosis With Direct Current and Tap Water [PDF]
Background and Purpose. Excessive sweating, known as hyperhidrosis, involves the eccrine sweat glands of the axillae, soles, palms, and/or forehead. The use of iontophoresis to reduce or eliminate excessive sweating has been described since 1952.
