Sweat management

Sweat management has been a key requirement for sportswear for some time. It is generally accepted that excessive sweat deposited onto the skin leads to discomfort and potentially other performance issues. Textile technologies to manage sweat have been in place for a number of years and include wicking yams and fabrics that carry sweat away from the skin and cooling fabrics that help reduce excessive heat on the skin.

The major clinical use of phenoxybenzamine is in the management of pheochromocytoma. Patients have many symptoms and signs of catecholamine excess, including intermittent or sustained hypertension, headaches, palpitations, and increased sweating. 

The ease of application, the minimization of systemic side effects, and the increased drug penetration directly into the target region resulted in extensive clinical use of iontophoresis mainly in the transdermal field. This technique has been utilized for administration of local anesthetics [2-5], sweat chloride testing in cystic fibrosis patients by transcutaneous delivery of pilocarpine [6,7], administration of vidarabine to patients with herpes orolabialis [8], fluoride administration to patients with hypersensitive dentin [9,10], and gentamicin delivery for the management of burned ears [11],... 

Heat Syncope. Heat exposure can cause postural hypotension leading to a syncopal or near-syncopal episode. Heat syncope is believed to result from intense sweating, which leads to dehydration, followed by peripheral vasodilatation. Initial management of the patient with heat syncope involves cooling and rehydration of the patient with oral rehydration solutions (such as commercially available sports drinks). 

While Western scientific study of meditation is limited and typically focuses on the mental and emotional benefits of relaxation, pain management, and stress reduction, meditation is integrally linked to the function of the autonomic nervous system, which regulates many organs and muscles in our bodies.
