Comparative Study Clinical TrialThe selective T3 sympathicotomy in patients with essential palmar hyperhidrosis.
Selective T3 thoracoscopic sympathicotomy in patients with essential palmar hyperhidrosis may produce successful results with fewer side effects. We report preliminary results in comparison with those of conventional T2, T3 thoracoscopic sympathicotomy. ⋯ Selective T3 thoracoscopic sympathicotomy results in a decrease in the rate of disturbing side effects compared to conventional T2, T3 thoracoscopic sympathicotomy without recurrence of symptoms. We suggest that selective T3 thoracoscopic sympathicotomy is the treatment of choice in essential palmar hyperhidrosis.

To investigate clinical relevance and prognostic value of brain tissue oxygen response (TOR: response of brain tissue pO(2) to changes in arterial pO(2)) in traumatic brain injury (TBI). ⋯ Evaluation of TOR affords insight in (disturbances in) oxygen regulation after traumatic brain injury, is of prognostic value and may aid in identifying patients at (increased) risk for ischemia.
