Physiology Of Drowning: A Review
journals.physiology.org

This link points to article published in Journal PHYSIOLOGY (Volume 31, Issue 2, March 2016, Pages 147-166).

The article pointed in the link cited our work presented in this PeerJ preprint in unrelated context. However, the research in our work was included in that article without any citation. The gist of our research work is that sweat flows freely when the sweat glands were submerged in water. Our article should have been cited in the statement on the page 147 of the article, instead it was cited on a statement from page 148. Both the statements from the article were given below.

Page 147: Sweating, however, also occurs under water. The secretory pressure of sweat glands allows sweat to flow outward to dissolve in the water.

Page 148 The associated dehydration increases likelihood of thrombosis, particularly in the elderly (158, 239).
