“…On the other hand, it has been suggested that the skin barrier function can be damaged by friction irritation due to excessive wiping and by the chemical irritants contained in detergents . Bryant and Rolstad also reported that bed baths constitute a risk factor for skin tears, which is especially worrisome because bed baths are frequently given to elderly patients and those in the intensive care units (ICUs), with high skin vulnerability . Therefore, bed baths must effectively remove dirt from the skin and mucous membranes and must ensure good hygiene while simultaneously maintaining skin integrity and its barrier function .…”

“…Conversely, positive mood states, such as vigor-activity (VA) and friendliness (F), indicate that the higher the T score, the better the mood [23]. POMS is also used in various research elds to measure mood disturbance and/or fatigue [24,25]. The results showed that sni ng the model's tension-stress odor increased negative emotions such as tension-anxiety (TA), fatigue-inertia (FI), and confusion-confusion (CB).…”

Humans frequently experience the transmission of the psychological state of people around them. Gas emanating from human skin is known to vary depending on body condition and/or food intake. This characteristic is gaining substantial scholarly attention because skin gas can be an effective non-invasive biomarker to know body condition. The study focuses on the relationship between psychological status and skin gas, which remains unclear to date. It demonstrates that an identifiable odor containing allyl mercaptan and dimethyl trisulfide is released from human skin during psychological stress and tension. An interview confirms a possible scenario where such a characteristic odor reproducibly appears. Undoubtedly, the scene is extreme. Furthermore, the study found that individuals who perceive this tension-stress model odor experience psychological tension, confusion, and fatigue (Profile of Mood States scale). The result indicates the possibility of human non-verbal communication through odor, which could enhance understanding of human interaction.

“…Seven studies compared the effects of traditional cotton towels and disposable towels (Gillis et al, 2016;Groven et al, 2017;Larson et al, 2004;Matsumoto et al, 2019;Nøddeskou et al, 2015;Schoonhoven et al, 2015;Veje et al, 2020). Schoonhoven et al (2015) reported that disposable towels slightly decreased the number of skin abnormalities compared with cotton towels, but no differences were found in significant skin lesions.…”
