This document discusses hyperhydrosis, or excessive sweating. It defines hyperhydrosis and classifies it as either primary or secondary. Primary hyperhydrosis is associated with overactive sweat glands and often starts in childhood, while secondary is caused by other disorders. Causes mentioned include infections, obesity, and neurological issues. Diagnosis involves examining the patient's history and conducting sweat tests. Treatment options reviewed include topical antiperspirants, oral medications, iontophoresis, botulinum toxin injections, and surgery. The conclusion states that while embarrassing, hyperhydrosis is treatable and need not interfere significantly with one's quality of life.

Shapiro’s Syndrome: A Case Report and Management Approachasclepiuspdfs
Shapiro’s syndrome, first described in 1969, consists of the classic triad of spontaneous periods of hypothermia, hyperhidrosis, and agenesis/dysgenesis of the corpus callosum. In this article, we report a complex case of a patient with classic Shapiro syndrome and numerous other neurologic comorbidities and propose a management approach for hypothermic episodes. We suggest an approach of “masterly inactivity” during hypothermic episodes, as excessive rewarming will be combatted by homeostatic balances to lower the patient’s core temperature, ultimately causing more harm.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

3. INTRODUCTION
Sweating is a normal bodily function, but for
some people, it can be an embarrassing or
traumatic experience. They find themselves
changing clothes several times a day; they sweat
even when the weather is cool and when they are
not doing any strenuous work.
A number of these people do not realize they are
suffering from a disorder called hyperhydrosis,
or the condition can be treated.
4. The human body has about 2-5 million sweat
glands. The two main ones are; eccrine and
apocrine.
Eccrine Sweat Glands
Approximately 3 million
eccrine sweat glands
Secrete a clear, odorless fluid
Aid in regulating body
temperature
Areas of concentration:
Facial, plantar, and axillae
Apocrine Sweat Glands
Inactive until puberty
Produce thick fluid
Secretions come in contact
with bacteria on the skin
and produce characteristic
“body odor”
Found in axillary and
genital areas
5. MECHANISM OF SWEATING
Hypothalamus serve as the
thermoregulatory centre. It
controls both blood flow and
sweat output to the skin’s surface.
It is triggered by exercise,
temperature change, hormones
and stress.
Once trigger send message to the
spinal cord via neurotransmitters
(acetylcholine an catecholamine).
These neurotransmitters travel
down to ganglion to nerves
innervating the skin’s surface

6. DEFINITION
Hyperhydrosis is a state of
excessive sweating of the
axilla, palms, soles, or face
that interferes with daily
activities. It is a condition
characterized by abnormally
increased perspiration in
excess of that required for
thermal regulation.
University of Miami Cosmetic Center, 2007
7. CLASSIFICATION
Hyperhydrosis is classified into primary and
secondary types.
• Primary type: is associated with hyperactivity of the
sympathetic nervous system and can affect one or
several areas of the body (Strutton et al(2004),
Hornberger et. al (2004)), starts during childhood or
adolescence.
• Secondary type: is caused by other factors mainly
disorders.
8. GENETICS
Hyperhydrosis appear to be inherited in a
dorminant fashion. It was thought to be autosomal
recessive genetic potential.
A new UCLA (University of California-Los
Angeles) study published in the journal of vascular
surgery shows strong evidence that sweaty palms
syndrome is genetic (Champeau,2002).
It is caused by dorminant gene, indicating that
family members of those who have the disorder
may suffer from it more than has been previously
reported.
9. It has been found by the Department of Human
Genetics of UCLA that as much as 5% of the
population maybe at risk for some form of
hyperhydrosis, commonly known as sweaty ‘palms
syndrome’. Also according to research carried out
by UCLA, it was found that 65% of the patients
reported family recurrence of the disorder.
10. CAUSES
Excessive sweating affects a great number and
there are various factors, this include;
heart attack:
Infections: eg T.B those living with it.
Malignancy: eg Lymphoma
Obesity
Neurologic and endocrine disorder (eg
hyperthyroidism, diabetes)
Others; (anxiety, hypoglycemia, menopause,
stress) (Clinic, 2011)
11. SOCIAL EFFECT
This pose a lot of problem on individuals with
this disorder, such as;
Low esteem and self confidence
Embarrassment
Rule out a career such as being a chef
Workplace limitations such as low output, time
management, mental and interpersonal tasks.
Social isolation
Daily activities impacted

14. DIAGNOSIS
Diagnosis involve two types i.e.
Patient’s examination (include
history)(Hornberger et. al, 2004).
Clinical test could include; i. Minor starch iodine
test: this delineates the area of sweating by use of
iodine solution in 3.5% of alcohol.
ii Thermoregulatory sweat Test (TST): This
delineate the distribution response to a controlled
heat and humidity stimulus (Fealey, 1997).

Eisenach, Atkinson, & Fealey, 2005
17. TREATMENT
Treatment depends on the outcome of the
diagnosis and the area affected.
Topical treatment: use of Antiperspirants eg.
Aluminum chloride hexahydrate, block sweat pore
and reduce sweat, and also eliminate odour
Systemic treatment: use of Anticholinergics, has
sympathetic inhibitory action.
Iontophoresis: block sweat duct by directing a
mild electrical current through the skin
(Hornberger et. al, 2003).
18. Treatment cont’n
Botox: use of Botulin toxin injection, inhibit nerve
impulse (Heckman, 2001, Naumann and Lowe,
2001, lowe et. al, 2003).
Surgery: can be done for severe cases. It is of two
types; (i) Local Excision (ii) Endoscopic Thoracic
Sympathectomy.
Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ETS) is the
most effective of all. It also have some side effects.
19. CONCLUSION
Hyperhydrosis is an embarrassing disorder
that even today is misconceived as rare and
untreatable. It is aggravated during emotional
stress and the pathophysiological mechanism
appears to be hyperfunctioning of the gland.
Hyperhydrosis does not have to be a
problem of epic proportion. By acknowledging
the condition and by getting help from the right
sources, you can minimize its impact on the
quality of your life.
