Hyperfunctional lines in the skin are produced by repeated contraction of the underlying muscles. By inhibiting the release of acetylcholine from the presynaptic terminal of the neuromuscular junction, BoNTA inhibits the contraction of muscles, and as such, may serve to prevent or limit the formation of new wrinkles. To date, however, there have been no prospective studies conducted on wrinkle ...

The present article briefly describes the Integrated Risk-Need-Responsivity (RNR-I) Model developed by our team [1,2]. This model provides a contemporary perspective regarding the earlier RNR Model developed by Andrews & Bonta (1998, 2010) [3,4]. The original RNR Model did not account for research that has emerged over the last few decades indicating that a history of serious mental illness rep...

Using high-performance liquid chromatography techniques with fluorescence and electrochemical detection, we found that beta-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (beta-NAD) is released in response to electrical field stimulation (4-16 Hz, 0.3 ms, 15 V, 120 s) along with ATP and norepinephrine (NE) in the canine isolated mesenteric arteries. The release of beta-NAD increases with number of pulses/st...

CONTEXT The increasing body of evidence and number of potential indications for the use of botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) in the lower urinary tract (LUT) underlines the pressing need for evidence-based guidelines. OBJECTIVE A European expert panel consensus conference was convened with the main aim of evaluating the evidence and clinical considerations for the use of BoNTs in the treatment of...

Criminological variables have also been reported to have supe...
