Download or read book Hyperhidrosis written by Marcelo de Paula Loureiro and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-12 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition in which a person sweats excessively and unpredictably. People with hyperhidrosis may sweat even when the temperature is cool or when they are at rest. Despite prevalence of at least 1% of the global population, Hyperhidrosis is still an unknown entity, for the most part -- an undertreated and even neglected medical condition. Moreover, there are few sources summarizing the knowledge on hyperhidrosis to a wider audience. The purpose of this book is to provide information regarding hyperhidrosis, ranging from basic information on pathophysiology to the most advanced therapeutic alternatives. From a therapeutic perspective, hyperhidrosis requires clinical treatment using topical and subdermal agents as well as surgical approaches. The book will not only cover these topics but will discuss all aspects of care -- from patient selection through post-surgical complications. Special attention will be given to sympathectomies. Medical and paramedical professionals, as well as students and researchers, interested in the topic will find the book comprehensive in scope and targeted in offering practical, clinical guidance. Diagnosis and Treatment of Hyperhidrosis - A Complete Guide counts with the collaboration of most renowned specialists of this field, and is intended as an easy to read and very practical reference book.

Download or read book Autonomic Neurology written by Eduardo E. Benarroch and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-04-03 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to present a focused approach to the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of the most common autonomic disorders that may present to the clinical neurologist. Autonomic Neurology is divided into 3 sections. The first section includes 5 chapters reviewing the anatomical and biochemical mechanisms of central and peripheral nervous system control of autonomic function, principles of autonomic pharmacology, and a clinical and laboratory approach to the diagnosis of autonomic disorders. The second section focuses on the pathophysiology and management of orthostatic hypotension, postural tachycardia, baroreflex failure; syncope, disorders of sweating, neurogenic bladder and sexual dysfunction, gastrointestinal dysmotility, and autonomic hyperactivity. The final section is devoted to specific autonomic disorders, including central neurodegenerative disorders; common peripheral neuropathies with prominent autonomic failure; painful small fiber neuropathies; autoimmune autonomic ganglionopathies and neuropathies; focal brain disorders; focal spinal cord disorders; and chronic pain disorders with autonomic manifestations. This book is the product of the extensive experience of its contributors in the evaluation and management of the many patients with autonomic symptoms who are referred for neurologic consultation at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. Autonomic Neurology focuses on clinical scenarios and presentation of clinical cases and includes several figures showing the results of normal and abnormal autonomic testing in typical conditions. Its abundance of tables summarizing the differential diagnosis, testing, and management of autonomic disorders also help set this book apart from other books focused on the autonomic nervous system.
Download or read book A Compendium of a socially embarrassing Disorder of Excessive Sweating or Hyperhidrosis and its Treatment options written by Dr. Hakim. K. Saboowala and published by Dr.Hakim Saboowala. This book was released on 2021-02-14 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Compendium of a socially embarrassing Disorder of Excessive Sweating or “Hyperhidrosis” and its Treatment options. Disorders of thermoregulation and sweating may manifest with hyperhidrosis or hypohidrosis/anhidrosis. Primary disorders of hyperhidrosis may significantly impact quality of life yet tend to be benign. The thermoregulatory control of sweating involves central pathways from the hypothalamus to the brainstem and then spinal cord as well as projections to peripheral structures, including the sympathetic chain ganglia, peripheral nerves, and eccrine sweat glands. Disruption at any point of this pathway may lead to impaired sweating. Characterization of sweating dysfunction helps localize different autonomic disorders to guide diagnosis and may allow for evaluation of treatment effect. Thus, an effort has been made in this E-Booklet to explain the neuronal regulation of sweat secretion, aiming to deliver a better understanding of the pathophysiology of hyperhidrosis and to provide an overview of different primary and secondary hyperhidrosis their diagnosis, and therapeutic options along with plenty of Illustrations for better understanding. …Dr. H.

Download or read book Stress and Skin Disorders written by Katlein França and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-12-16 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dermatological conditions are intimately related to stress. Stress can affect, reveal or even exacerbate a number of skin disorders, including alopecia, seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, pruritus, herpes, lichen planus, rosacea and urticarial. On the other hand, the skin disease itself could induce a secondary stress for the patient, influencing his or her quality of life. There is increasing evidence that stress influences disease processes and contributes to inflammation through the modulating hypothalamicpituitary- adrenal axis – releasing neuropeptides, neurotrophins, lymphokines and other chemical mediators from nerve endings to dermal cells. This is one of the first books published on this topic, focusing more on the basic science aspects of stress in dermatopathology (oxidants, antioxidants, and oxidative injury in dermatopathology, dermatopharmacology, and dermatotoxicology.) Most Psychodermatology texts adopt a practical approach to identify all types of Psychodermatology disorders, focusing on clinical treatment. This concise title offers a comprehensive and didactic approach to skin diseases caused or exacerbated by stress, as well as covers the immunology, role and effect of stress on skin disease, and quality of life in dermatology. In the current programs of medical residency in dermatology, little is taught about the relationship between stress and skin diseases and this book is an important tool for young dermatologists and psychodermatologists in training.
Download or read book Excessive Sweating written by Helen Brickard and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-01 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When you're sweating profusely, it can be embarrassing to socialize with people. You'd probably rather isolate yourself and stay in the confines of your own home. It can even feel as if your life comes to a standstill, since you can't really focus on anything else. There's only one way to get your life back on track again - and that's to stop excessive sweating! But in order to control it, you must first understand it and identify the root cause in your specific case. Excessive sweating, medically known as hyperhidrosis, has various potential underlying causes. Hyperhidrosis can stem from hormonal and endocrine problems; it can be caused by dysfunctional sweat glands; it can be a symptom of a disease; or the side effect of anxiety or fever. This book is designed to provide you with all the information you need about hyperhidrosis, and the simple yet effective methods of avoiding the physiological reaction of excessive sweating. Furthermore, you will learn which potential pathologic conditions can bring about profuse sweating, and how you can minimize, control, and eradicate the problem altogether.

This book discusses several different causes of hyperhidrosis, as well as treatment options and outcomes.
Download or read book No Sweat written by Rohit and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-10-22 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have been suffering from excessive sweat ever since I remember. I suffer with excessive sweat on my palms and on my feet and for the longest time I thought that I was alone to be cursed with such a condition. I had no clue that my condition was a common one, with an actual medical term - Hyperhidrosis! That discovery made me feel better in a twisted sense. I was no longer the only person trying to find way out of sweaty palms and feet in a world where everyone else was perfect! I then started my somewhat frustrating journey towards understanding this disease, and more important the various treatment options. I say frustrating because I was still relying on internet as my key source of information and soon discovered that most of internet was full of complex, mostly inaccurate and downright unethically incorrect information to make a quick buck. However, since I was so desperate to find a solution to my sweat condition, I persisted. I read a lot of research articles, met several qualified medical professionals specializing in this field, and interacted with a large number of hyperhidrosis patients. I even ended up setting up the largest online community of hyperhidrosis patients online - http: //hyperhidrosisnetwork.com. The site, over a short time-period has become the most popular go to place to find out anything about hyperhidrosis, connect to other patients and to discuss the treatment options. Hyperhidrosis Network As I mentioned previously, I realized that even in this day and age of information accessibility, it was difficult for people with Hyperhidrosis to find real helpful information or to connect to others with the same condition. So, out of sheer frustration, I set-up a website ambitiously names HyerhidrosisNetwork.com to document my understanding of hyperhidrosis and what I was learning about treatment options. However, soon it has evolved way beyond what I originally thought it would. Since the time I started in 2012, the website has seen a surge of visitors from all across the globe. As more people have joined the website, more useful it has become over all those months. HHN is now one of the largest, authentic, non-biased, non-commercial sources of information, and community support for hyperhidrosis patients. Why This Book (and why not)? With my hyperhidrosis problem, and my involvement in Hyperhidrosis Network, I got opportunities to interact with very wide variety of people - from thousands of patients, to hundreds of doctors, to tens of product manufacturers and then a few clearly shady operators trying to make quick money by drawing on the desperation of patients to get rid of sweat. Through this book, I am trying to summarize everything I have learnt in a concise, brief way so that other patients like me can get the most objective information about Hyperhidrosis without having to go through the learning curve that I have had to. I do not, even for a moment, pose to be the one to "know" the solution to excessive sweat issues. Nor does this book promise any miracle cure to get rid of that awkward sweat overnight (how I wish that was possible!). However, I do promise that after reading this book you will be way better informed on what is hyperhidrosis, why it happens and what you can do to manage this well enough so as to minimize impact on your quality of life. Hope you find this useful - I will appreciate any constructive feedback you might have on the book. Good luck!

Book excerpt: Help! I'm sweating! Causes Phenomena Therapies Approximately 3 % of the population suffer from pathological perspiration. For those affected, this is extremely stressful in terms of occupation, health and psycho-socially. Pathological perspiration, whose medical term is hyperhidrosis, may occur in generalized or localized form. In most cases, a functional disorder of the sweat glands is the cause of this complex clinical picture. What many of its sufferers do not know: Here are effective treatment options. In dermatological therapy practice, the application of a stepwise treatment is widely practiced. Depending on the clinical manifestation, the therapy options range from stress management through external applications and physical treatments to pharmacotherapy and surgical measures. This book provides a detailed overview of the causes, clinical phenomena and treatment options for hyperhidrosis and its special form bromhidrosis, also called fetid sweat. Competent medical specialists have contributed decisively to the configuration of the contents. "Help! I'm sweating!" provides the people affected with the opportunity to recognize their disease, to accept it and to communicate with their surroundings in order to experience healing or at least some relief in cooperation with expert and responsible doctors.
