Facial skin rejuvenation has long been the most highly desired aesthetic procedure. The demand for no-downtime procedures in skin rejuvenation has guided researchers to develop newer non-invasive procedures based on thermal effects that result in collagen remodeling. The purpose of this prospective pilot study was to assess the effectiveness and safety of intraoral treatment with Er:YAG laser u...

Partitioning of cell organelles and cytoplasmic components determines the fate of daughter cells upon asymmetric division. We studied the role of mitochondria in this process using budding yeast as a model. Anterograde mitochondrial transport is mediated by the myosin motor, Myo2. A genetic screen revealed an unexpected interaction of MYO2 and genes required for mitochondrial fusion. Genetic an...

Application Background Patients who are interested in facial rejuvenation are increasingly well informed, expecting visible and significant results after undergoing an aesthetic procedure. However, many energy based devices cannot guarantee clinical efficacy due to shortfalls in their engineering design and inherent lack of reproducibility. This paper aims to describe the underlying reasons beh...

The Q-switched 1064-nm neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (QS 1064-nm Nd:YAG) laser is increasingly used for nonablative skin rejuvenation or "laser toning" for melasma. Multiple and frequent low-fluence, large-spot-size treatments are used to achieve laser toning, and these treatments are associated with the development of macular hypopigmentation as a complication. We present a case seri...

METHODS: Twenty-five patients were selected for PRP therapy for facial rejuvenation. All patients completed the following FACE-Q scales preprocedure: appearance appraisal, quality of life, adverse effect checklists for treatment, and process of care. PRP was prepared using a standardized protocol. At 6 weeks posttreatment, another FACE-Q was completed, and 2 blinded observers (1 plastic surgeon...

In Rigveda Soma is an evergreen plant, with thousand stalks yellow hued bestowing auspicious energy. Resembling yellow fibres of hemp ephedra was rained in Chlnoso Ho-Ma, Yellow-hemp. It was Sanskritized as Soma. Being an energizer-cum-euphoriant its juice was consumed thrice daily. Finally it became a drug of longevity, rejuvenation and resurrection even god Soma. As drug it was substituted by...

P eriorbital rejuvenation is a topic of particular interest to aesthetic surgeons, as aging changes often occur first around the eyelids, and periorbital surgery can improve both function and cosmesis. Ahead, the authors describe an approach to the periorbital aesthetic unit to treat the eyebrow, upper eyelid, lateral canthus, lower eyelid, and midface through a single upper eyelid blepharoplas...

Environmental policy is one of the key management dimensions of rejuvenation strategies in mature tourism destinations. Among these, voluntary environmental initiatives are increasingly becoming a relevant theoretical possibility and are an empirical reality. Voluntary environmental initiatives are primarily undertaken in developed countries, mostly in Europe, that is on itself a mature tourism...

Software aging [2] is a phenomenon observed in a software application executing continuously for a long period of time, where exhaustion of operating system resources (memory leaks), data corruption and numerical error accumulation eventually lead to performance degradation, hang/crash failures or both. To counteract this problem, Huang et al. [2] proposed the technique of software rejuvenation...
