introduction: adequate control of acne is difficult, regardless of the various conventional modalities. intense pulsed light (ipl) system is one of the emerging options that are become increasingly useful. methods: to achieve the best ipl parameters we evaluated the efficacy and tolerability of ipl at 752-nm wavelength, 35 j/cm2 fluence, 55-ms pulse duration in comparison with 572-nm wavelength...

The dual-hub account posits that the neural organization of semantic knowledge is segregated by type relation with anterior temporal lobe (ATL) specializing for taxonomic relations and inferior parietal lobule (IPL) thematic relations. This study critically examined this recording intracranial EEG from an array depth electrodes within ATL, IPL, two regions control network, frontal gyrus (IFG) p...

AIMS To explore the correlation of local macular ganglion cell/inner plexiform layer (GC/IPL) thickness measurements with sensitivity at individual test locations on the central 10-2 visual fields (VFs) in patients with glaucoma. METHODS One hundred thirty-seven eyes of 125 patients with spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) and 10-2 VFs were included. The exported thickness matr...

INTRODUCTION Despite the high incidence of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in women attending for facial hair removal there are few studies looking specifically at this patient group. We carried out a split-face study directly comparing the efficacy of a 3 milliseconds pulse duration alexandrite laser with the Lumina IPL system in 38 women with PCOS. MATERIALS AND METHODS Each patient underw...

PURPOSE To evaluate the predictive ability of macular parameters defined in the significance map created using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) for paracentral visual field defects in early glaucoma. DESIGN Prospective comparative study. METHODS We studied 78 early-glaucomatous eyes of 78 patients, who underwent SD-OCT and standard automated perimetry 10-2. Macular laye...

BACKGROUND Large scale models of interprofessional learning (IPL) where outcomes are assessed are rare within health professional curricula. To date, there is sparse research describing robust assessment strategies to support such activities. We describe the development of an IPL assessment task based on peer rating of a student generated video evidencing collaborative interprofessional practic...

Event-related brain potentials (ERPs) and reaction times (RTs) were recorded in an auditory selective attention task in control subjects and two groups of patients with lesions centered in (1) the temporal/parietal junction (T/P, n = 9); and (2) the inferior parietal lobe (IPL, n = 7). High pitched tones were presented to one ear and low pitched tones to the other in random sequences that inclu...

BACKGROUND Unlike medical lasers, intense pulsed light (IPL) devices are largely unregulated and unclassified as to degree of safety hazard. With the exception of most of the USA, the United Kingdom and parts of Europe, the Far East and Australia, the sale of IPLs is generally unrestricted, with the majority being sold into the beauty therapy and spa markets. Standards are only imposed on manuf...

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a broadband visible light emitted from a non-coherent, filtered flashlamp. IPL sources emit light in the 500-1200 nm range and allow treatment of vascular and melanocytic lesions, and also hair removal. Different cutoff filters can be used to narrow the spectrum to target specific structures. 1 We report significant changes observed in two nevi after hair removal t...
