When you're just starting out in the world of healthcare, whether as a nursing student, medical trainee, or phlebotomy learner, few things feel as nerve-racking as your first needle insertion. You've read the textbooks, watched the tutorials, and maybe even practiced on an orange or a banana, but when it comes to human skin, confidence often lags behind theory. This guide is for you - the ...
In an era where skin cancer rates continue to rise globally, the significance of effective sun protection cannot be overstated. ...
Human dermal fibroblasts-neonate (HDF-n) are specialized cells derived from the dermis layer of neonatal human skin. ...
If you’ve ever studied the causes of a skin complaint or damaged hair, chances are someone on the internet has pointed the finger at SLS, or sodium lauryl (or laureth) sulfate, a common ingredient in beauty products, washes, toothpastes and even cleaning products.So what does this ingredient do, why is it in everything, and what does the evidence say about how safe it ...
Collagen is a crucial structural protein, widely presenting in human skin, bones, tendons, ligaments, and other tissues. It's essential for maintaining the structural integrity and function of tissues. The measurement of collagen can help researchers and physicians understand the pathological process of related diseases (such as osteoporosis, ...
Collagen is an important protein that is widely present in various human tissues, such as skin, bones, muscle tendons, and ligaments. Accurate determination of its concentration is crucial for multiple fields such as biomaterial research, food industry, and pharmaceutical research.Liquid Chromatography (LC) is an efficient and precise analytical ...
Examples of products which are produced this way and are used within the beauty industry include hyaluronic acid and resveratrol.3 To obtain these compounds directly from plants would take a lot of water, energy, land and many processing steps to extract the desired compounds, this is impracticable and unsustainable.Biotechnology has had a positive impact on the beauty industry, as it can be used ...
Strongyloides is an opportunistic pathogenic parasitic nematode. Adults parasitize in the small intestine of cats, dogs and humans. The larvae can invade lung, brain, liver, kidney and other tissues and organs, causing strongyloidiasis. The disease is mainly prevalent in warm and humid tropical and subtropical regions. In recent years, due to the continuous increase of HIV/AIDS infection rate in ...
Collagen is a family of proteins. At least 30 kinds of genes encoding collagen chains have been found, which can form more than 16 kinds of collagen molecules. According to its structure, it can be divided into fibrous collagen, basement membrane collagen, microfibrillar collagen, anchored collagen, hexagonal reticular collagen, non-fibrous collagen, transmembrane collagen, etc. According to ...
Sun exposure, air pollution, radiation, etc. will cause the human skin to produce a large amount of superoxide free radicals, and its strong oxidizing ability will accelerate the speed of skin oxidation, and may even cause serious skin lesions. ...
You've probably heard amazing stories of surgeons performing successful, yet extremely delicate and risky procedures such as open-heart surgery, separation of conjoined twins, craniotomy, thoracic aortic dissection repair, oesophagectom, spinal osteomyelitis surgery, and many more. As a medical student, you wonder how a surgeon can do such an incredible job. Well, the answer lies in lots of ...
If you're a medical student and you're trying to take your skills to the next level, you might be wondering how to practice suturing so that you can do it more effectively in a hospital setting. Fortunately, education has come a long way when it comes to effectively teaching students how to do such things. However, that doesn't mean that you might not need some extra practice on your own in order ...
According to the abstract, the researchers hypothesized that graphene films may provide mosquito bite protection for light, fiber-based fabrics. ...
Abstract Summary Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is an alternative to metallic implants in orthopedic applications; however, PEEK is bioinert and does not osteointegrate. In this study, an accelerated neutral atom beam technique (ANAB) was employed to improve the bioactivity of PEEK. The aim was to investigate the growth of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs), human osteoblasts (hOB), and skin ...
Skin pigmentation variations and discolorations can appear in the form of various dark spots, due to age, acne scars or other conditions, or obtained as a result of the overexposure to the sun’s harmful UV rays. Sometimes freckles, the small dots of highly concentrated skin pigmentation, could also be undesirable. Skin whitening, lightening and bleaching refer to the use of chemical ...
That’s good news for the makers of wound-care products: Research firm Kalorama Information projects the global market will rise to nearly $21 billion in 2015 from $16.8 billion this year. The National Institute of Health also published a comprehensive report entitled, “Human Skin Wounds: A Major and Snowballing Threat to Public ...
Sildenafil citrate (SC) is the first choice drug for erectile dysfunction. Nevertheless, drug oral delivery is hampered by some obstacles including first pass metabolism, numerous side effects, relatively short duration and long onset of action. Furthermore, drug delivery formulation and transdermal application of SC is challenged by its amphoteric nature, low oil and water solubility, ...
To obtain the possible face regions in colour images, skin colour models are always constructed by statistical analysis. Owing to low accuracy of the static models, researchers have discussed several dynamic models to correct input images. Unfortunately, it is possible that some objects whose colour is the same as the definition exist, and the previous methods ...
Cationic biocides (CBs) are widely used in domestic and public hygiene and to control biofouling and microbial contamination in industry. The increased use of biocides has led to concern regarding possible reductions in biocide effectiveness. Domestic drain microcosms were stabilized for 5 months and then exposed to polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB) at 0.1, 0.2, and 0.4g liter–1 over 6 months ...
