Objectives Palmar hyperhidrosis (PH) exhibits excessive and unpredictable sweating. The most effective treatment for permanent cure is the ablation of thoracic sympathetic ganglia innervating hands. However, sympathectomy of T2 sympathetic ganglion by clipping or cauterization causes irreversible nerve damage, and results in a compensatory hyperhidrosis (CH). We herein used the pulsed radiofreq...

Effects of atmospheric humidity and soil moisture content on the relative intensity of chlorophyll fluorescence of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) exposed to high air temperatures were assessed as a measure of heat stress or injury. 1. After exposure to 25 •Ž (control) and 42•‹, 44•‹ and 46•Ž for two to three hours, the intensity of fluorescence decreased a little at 42•‹ and 44•Ž but markedly at...

ozone concentration in metropolitan areas frequently exceed regulatory standards now. since it is harmful on human health and environment, its modeling and visualization are of vital important. modeling and prediction of ozone is required by urban managers to control and prevent its effects. in this paper, important parameters influencing the hourly ozone concentration are estimated by using da...

Abstract The sustainable, passive climatisation of display cases using saturated salt solutions is rarely applied nowadays. These adjust the atmospheric humidity to specific deliquescence relative (DRH) salt. Practical problems like risk spilling or ‘creeping’ salts can be overcome. DRH suitable does not depend significantly on temperature. Solutions were Oddy-tested check for corrosive emissio...

Background Temperature, humidity, and other weather variables influence dengue transmission. Published studies show how the diurnal fluctuations of temperature around different mean temperatures influence dengue transmission. There are no published studies about the correlation between diurnal range of humidity and dengue transmission. Objective The goals of this study were to determine the cor...

BACKGROUND During anesthesia, as compared with intensive care, the time of the tracheal intubation is much shorter. An inhaled gas minimum humidity of 20 mgH2O.L-1 is recommended to reduce the deleterious effects of dry gas on the airways during anesthesia with tracheal intubation. The Fabius GS Premium® anesthesia workstation (Dräger Medical, Lübeck, Germany) has a built-in hotplate to heat ga...

The effect of relative humidity (43%, 75%, 86% and > 98%) on Aedes aegypti eggs treated with Metarhizium anisopliae or water only was tested for up to a six months exposure at 25 degrees C. Survival of larvae inside eggs was clearly affected by the lowest humidity (43%) tested, and eclosion diminished at all humidities after increasing periods of exposure. M. anisopliae showed to have a strong ...

To better understand the process of condensation formation in CPV modules, an experimental setup containing two Insolight mockup modules has been prepared to firstly, monitor relevant variables involved internal dew point, namely relative humidity and air temperature, differential atmospheric pressure between module environment temperatures front rear parts secondly, be able modify exchange con...
