Immersion foot syndromes are a class of foot injury caused by water absorption in the outer layer of skin. [1] [2] There are different subclass names for this condition based on the temperature of the water to which the foot is exposed. These include trench foot, tropical immersion foot, and warm water immersion foot.
Hypokalemia which is recurrent or resistant to treatment may be amenable to a potassium-sparing diuretic, such as amiloride, triamterene, spironolactone, or eplerenone. Concomitant hypomagnesemia will inhibit potassium replacement, as magnesium is a cofactor for potassium uptake.
ISO 2281 water resistance testing of a watch consists of: Resistance when immersed in water at a depth of 10 cm. Immersion of the watch in 10 cm of water for 1 hour. Resistance of operative parts. Immersion of the watch in 10 cm of water with a force of 5 N perpendicular to the crown and pusher buttons (if any) for 10 minutes. Condensation test.
Cold sensitivity may be a symptom of hypothyroidism, anemia, low body weight, iron deficiency, vitamin B 12 deficiency, fevers, fibromyalgia or vasoconstriction. [2] There may also be differences in people in the expression of uncoupling proteins, thus affecting their amount of thermogenesis. Psychology may also play a factor in perceived ...
Insulin resistance, or low insulin sensitivity, happens when cells throughout the body don’t respond properly to the hormone insulin, especially cells in muscles, fat and the liver. Insulin is a ...
A midweight, boot-height sock with extra cushioning — i.e. the perfect gift for any outdoorsman. Made almost entirely of Merino wool, with a touch of nylon and spandex, these socks are designed ...
The watches are tested in static or still water under 125% of the rated (water) pressure, thus a watch with a 200 m rating will be water resistant if it is stationary and under 250 m of static water. The testing of the water resistance is fundamentally different from non-dive watches, because every watch has to be fully tested.
