Continuous evaluation of exosomatic electrodermal activity in patients with primary palmoplantar hyperhidrosis
DOI: 10.31744/einstein_journal/2024AO1152
Highlights ■ Continuous exosomatic electrodermal activity was associated with higher skin conductance levels in patients with hyperhidrosis. ■ Palmoplantar sweating was significantly higher in the hyperhidrosis group than in the control group (p<0.01). ■ Electrodermal activity is an effective and simple method for objectively quantifying sweating in patients with hyperhidrosis. ABSTRACT Objective: To objectively evaluate sweat intensity in patients with primary hyperhidrosis by measuring electrodermal activity using a continuous exosomatic technique without external stimuli.

Perinatal N(G)-Nitro-L-arginine methyl ester administration decreases anxiety- and depression-like behaviors in adult mice
DOI: 10.31744/einstein_journal/2023AO0302
Highlights Perinatal L-NAME treatment decreased anxiety- and depression-like behaviors in adult mice. Perinatal L-NAME treatment did not promote changes in locomotor activity in adult mice. Perinatal L-NAME treatment did not alter pain perception ABSTRACT Objective: We hypothesized that perinatal manipulations of the nitrergic system would affect adult animal behaviors. Methods: We tested this hypothesis by perinatally administering N(G)-Nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), a non-specific antagonist of nitric oxide synthase for 15 days and assessed anxiety- and depression-like behaviors in adult mice.
