Nearly a century would pass before the bacterium producing the toxin would be isolated and the toxin ultimately renamed “botulinum toxin. ” As farsighted as Kerner was, it is doubtful that even he could have predicted just how much potential therapeutic punch was packed within his wirkenden stoffes. It was not until 1978, more than a century and a half after Kerner’s prediction, that Dr. Allan Scott received Food and Drug Administration approval to test botulinum toxin type A in human volunteers. We do not yet have a comprehensive understanding of precisely how botulinum toxin works in the human body or how our bodies fully respond to the toxin. We do know that it temporarily paralyzes muscle by inhibiting th | 出版日期 | Book 2007 | 关键词 | Hyperhidrosis; drug; neurotransmitter; research; rehabilitation psychology | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-59745-247-2 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-61737-842-3 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-59745-247-2Series ISSN 2626-8663 Series E-ISSN 2626-8671 | issn_series | 2626-8663 | copyright | Humana Press 2007 |
