We've met Prof. Dr. Joanna and discussed a new project, which related to Hyperhidrosis. From our desk research finding we acknowledge that Hyperhidrosis is a condition characterized by abnormally increase of perspiration in excess of required for regulation of body temperature. It can either be generalized or localized to specific parts of the body such as hands, feet, armpits and the groin area. Sweat gland removal or destruction is one surgical option available for axillary hyperhidrosis. There are multiple methods for sweat gland removal or destruction such as sweat gland suction, retrodermal curettage and axillary liposuction. However the treatment that interest us is endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ETS), which cuts, burns, or clamps the thoracic ganglion on the main sympathetic chain that runs alongside the spine. It was claimed that ETS is generally considered a "safe", reproducible and effective procedure. This project intend to process related medical images (x-rays), automatically measures importance features and produce table of parameters that relevant to Asian. Puteri Suhaiza will supervise the PhD candidate that we tag along with us in this meeting and co-supervise by Prof. Dr. Joanna and Prof. Dr. Mohd Ramzisham.
Thanks Prof. Dr. Joanna for a very fruitfully discussion.
