Skin resistance

In 1973 Thiele and Malten [74] found in skin dermatitis, skin resistance, and water loss studies no negative effect using the sodium salt of a laurylpolyglycol ether carboxylic acid with 3.8 mol EO.

Combined application of ultrasound and iontophoresis also has practical implications. The combination of ultrasound and electric current offers a twofold higher enhancement than that offered by each of them individually under the same conditions. Since ultrasonic pretreatment reduces skin resistivity, a lower voltage is required to deliver a given current during iontophoresis compared to that in controls. This should result in lower power requirements as well as possibly less skin irritation [71].

Gcob al. (147) compared the effects of atropine administered intravenously and Intramuscularly. Four subjects were used. Two received injections of 2 mg of atropine sulfate by the Intramuscular route only one of these subjects received only one Injection, and the other, two. A third subject received 1 mg of atropine sulfate intravenously on one occasion, 1 mg of atropine sulfate intramuscularly on another occasion, and 2 mg of atropine sulfate intramuscularly on four other occasions. The fourth subject received 1 mg of atropine sulfate Intravenously on two occasions and 2 mg of atropine sulfate Intramuscularly on three occasions Atropine sulfate by either route of administration induced an Increase In heart rate, an Increase In skin resistance, an Increase In pupil size, dryness of the skin, and an Increased sensation of dryness of the mouth. In general, the effects appeared earlier after Intravenous chan after intramuscular Injection. Prior administration of sufficient TEPP to Increase sweating and salivation and to Induce anorexia and mild nausea slightly delayed the onset of the effects of atropine and slightly reduced the extent of chose effects. 

Using weak acids and bases as electrolytes for the counter reservoir formulation at the proper pH (i.e., pH < 4 for cathode formulations and pH > 4 for anode formulations) provides adequate biocompatibility and low skin resistance. Low skin resistance is advantageous since less voltage output is required from the control circuit, and therefore a smaller battery may...

For a typical initial skin resistance of 200 kQ, 200 V would be required to achieve a current of 1 mA. Therefore, a typical system having a modest output voltage of 10-20 V will operate below the desired current (i.e., will be non-compliant) during the initial moments of current application. However, because the resistance drops quickly, a voltage capability of about 10-20 V is generally sufficient to achieve compliance within an acceptably short time of about 1 min or less.

Peels to the basal layer can be repeated four or five times (Easy TCA ) on an average of one session a week. The doctor should always wait for the skin to recover before re-peeling. Skin that is actively flaking should not have another peel applied to it. Some patients need a fifth peel (oily skins, resistant hyperchromia, squeamish patients who do not allow the doctor to apply the solution properly, etc.). 

Q.22.2 When most people lie or make an untrue statement their sympathetic nervous system becomes active (fight or flight response). This leads to increased sweat secretion and thus decreased skin resistance. In a lie detector, a current is passed between two silver chloride electrodes held at 5 v. A current of 4.2 mA is measured when the subject gives his name. Later in the interview he lies and a current of 8.9 mA is measured. What is the skin resistance in the (a) honest and (b) dishonest state ...
