Laser Treatment for the Reduction of Wrinkles

Here are a few things anyone should know about this revolutionary wrinkle reduction technique, namely laser treatment. 

1) The aim of laser treatment is the reduction and elimination of unwanted hair for a long time or to achieve permanent hair removal. This new technology has only been applied for a few years, so it is still unknown exactly with whom and when the best results are obtained. Multiple treatments may be necessary, depending on the skin type, hair color and previous pre-treatments. Blonde or white hair cannot be removed with laser light. The darker the hair and the lighter the skin, the higher are the chances of success and the easier the depilation process. The pigment in dark skin can also be destroyed by the use of laser and therefore, the skin should not be pre-tanned.

2) Your participation contributes to the success of the cosmetic laser surgery to a substantial extent. The laser attacks the hair root. The hair is pulled out. Therefore, no waxing, hair plucking or electroepilation should be carried out 3-4 weeks before the laser treatment. Hair removal can indeed occur after such treatment although more frequent laser treatments may be needed to achieve success. Shaving, face painting or bleaching the hair on the skin is allowed. The hairs should not be shaved 2-3 days before the hair removal treatment, so the hairy areas can be marked prior to laser treatment.

3) The laser treatment can be slightly painful even if it is done in cosmetic surgery clinics. People who are very sensitive to pain should take a painkiller approximately 1 hour before the treatment (not aspirin; Talvosil Forte tablets are suitable, for example). Possible side effects of laser treatment include pain, redness, blistering, scarring and the formation of bright or dark spots on the skin. Should any problem occur after treatment, consult your doctor immediately.

4) No body creams and body lotions should be applied on the day of treatment and the following 2 days thereafter, if possible. Do not apply perfume in the treated area. Careful cooling under the shower or with cool compresses is permitted if necessary. No creams or make-up should be applied on the treatment day if the treated areas are the face, neck and cleavage, then only very little and subtle make-up is allowed on the following days and no lotion and perfume, aftershave and so on. No roll-on deodorant and so on should be applied in the underarm area for at least 3-4 days after treatment.

5) The laser-treated parts of the body should be kept away from direct sunlight and tanning beds for 1 month. The regular use of sunscreen with at least SPF 25 is recommended when taking walks after laser treatment has been applied in the face and head areas. Your skin may get burned despite the use of sunscreen. Otherwise, unsightly staining of the skin may occur.

6) Inform the attending doctor if you are planning a swimming or a skiing holiday. Also notify the doctor if you are suffering from acute herpes symptoms.

7) The skin may be slightly red and swollen immediately after treatment. A cooling system with cooling bags or cold compresses is perceived as very pleasant. The redness usually disappears the day after treatment. General make-up is now allowed and careful washing and showers as well. You can also scrape the crust if necessary. Manipulate the laser-treated areas by picking or scratching as little as possible. Each plucking increases the risk of infection and hence the scarring. If the treated area itches for a few hours, just chill it - do not scratch.

8) It is very important to know that the hair will not fall off immediately after the laser treatment. This is not a sign of failure. This is normal. The body rejects the treated hair over the first 1-2 weeks. Thus, fewer and fewer hairs remain. The laser treatment to the face can be repeated after about 4 weeks and that to the body, arms and legs every 4-8 weeks, unless otherwise agreed.

Phenacogrammus smykalai - Tropical Fish

The coloration of the male specie of this fish is strongly light dependent and when illuminated from above, they look just gray. Only when a light beam falls on the body, is the splendor of their color seen. The aquarium is inclined from the front part of the cover disk illuminated, the back-shimmering metallic blue. The anal fin is white, lined in dominant animals. The dorsal fin in adult males is about 2.5 cm long and drawn out uneven. The iris is red. This is the color and size of the species is a nice alternative to Kongosalmler. Is reinforced by the light color of the male by a darker water color.

The females are colored gray and have no drawing patterns in the fins or colored areas. As the males have a black spot on the tail fin stem. The maximum length of Alestopetersius smykalai is about 6 cm. In general, many tetras from the West African States must be  kept cooler than their South American relatives of the Amazon. Therefore, I adjusted the temperature in the storage tanks to 24 ° C. The conductance was about 50 ms / cm, pH 6.0 without any apparent hardness.

Immediately after being placed in the aquarium both animals developed a white, milky coating which showed on the pupil. This phenomenon is something I could have often observed in West African fish, and also members of other orders, if I would implement it for farming in a soft, acidic water and have made them get used to it quickly. The coating was gone after two weeks. Since these fish should be kept in a school, it was the attitude of a couple I wanted to see..

However, it was the male, I wanted to watch after the animals had acclimated, especially in the early morning hours on the courtship. Similar to the female Phenacogrammus, it has caudal fins they spread when courted by the male and forced into the nearest spawning wool. I could not find eggs. Encouraged by the courtship of the male and the corpulence of the female I put the female in a separate breeding aquarium without substrate.
 
Undeveloped eggs are very easy to find because of their white color. The eggs are very light and float slowly to the ground when they are moved. To incubate small, weak ventilated container with some alder cones are well suited. The embryonic development can be observed very well. On the second day is a beige colored embryo Alkern visible to the larval form . On the third day, the tail forms. On the fourth day, the body is grown and on the fifth day the eyes and mouth are visible in the column. The larva is now in a circle on the outer shell of the egg capsules and hatch two days later. With a total length of 3-4 mm, the larvae are quite large, but have a small foot column.

image of fish.The yolk sac is used up after about 40-50 hours at a temperature of 24 C. As a starter feed purified paramecia or rotifers are suitable. Brine shrimp nauplii are too large. For a small number of juveniles some Java moss provides enough food to get through the first one to two days. Then brine shrimp nauplii can be eaten. Unfortunately, the young fish in the further breeding is not unproblematic. When temperature changes, changes in water chemistry or one-sided diet of brine shrimp nauplii I had high losses. 

 Due to a vacation in November 1997, I lost all my breeding animals. A new approach in March and April 1998, however, brought back about 30 juveniles, of which I was able to raise only eight animals. In the summer of 1999, my tomboy pair died, presumably due to high temperatures. The water in storage tanks for three weeks had a temperature of 29 ° C and more. The animals were at this time on little food and their respiratory rate increased. The offspring survived and had in October 1999 reached their likely final size of 6 cm length and the males were impressed with each other. There were 5 males and 3 females.

The approach in the same aquarium, in which the parents had spawned was unsuccessful. Even after changing the number of individuals in several variations and I could not see the animals spawn. After two months all I had I was 2 males and all females in a 200 liter aquarium size. A week later I could see the eggs. It was the first time I could see and since then, the animals have spawned two to three times per month, depending on the food and the water temperature. The number of eggs varies 20 to 30 eggs. At a temperature below 22 C and 26 C represent the best temperature for animals' spawning.

In the last year I have been introduced repeatedly by various importers of that species. Here, she was with Phenacogrammus (Rhabdalestes) imported intermedius, which is not particularly suitable for socialization, as their enforcement capacity is greater. In my experience I can say in summary that must be taken to smykalai for keeping Phenacogrammus no special measures. The minimum size of the aquarium should have an edge length of 80 cm, larger the better. At high water temperatures should be avoided.

For breeding animals and several larger vessels in the neck are more appropriate since it has spawned more readily. A larger number of eggs can be obtained through a Gazegitter that is placed over the gravel in the aquarium. Also, plastic fabrics are suitable. However, it must be made up so that the fish can swim through and the eggs won’t  fall through it. For the spawning , a varied approach should be fed with different insect larvae, and rare or Enchytraen Grindal. Otherwise,their feed should contain less fat. The pH should be in the slightly acidic range and the conductance of 100 microseconds / exceed cm. Also, in order to rear them correctly, a varied live food and frequent water changes are important.

New Multiple Sclerosis Treatment with green tea

There may be new hope for patients with multiple sclerosis. Multiple sclerosis is a chronic disease of the central nervous system and is not yet curable. It is an autoimmune disease. The body's immune cells attack the nerves. This causes inflammation and the myelin sheaths of the nerve endings are damaged.

The cause for the outbreak of the disease is still open today, despite intensive research, it is not yet resolved. However, the treatment options are constantly evolving, so the quality of life of MS patients in recent years have greatly improved.

Now there is hope for a new and better treatment option. A recent study by the Institute for Neuroimmunology of the Berlin Charite indicates strong evidence. The research group led by Professor Frauke Zipp were looking for substances that can positively influence the disease course. In the course of this research, Dr. Orhan Aktas and his colleague Dr. Timour Prozorovski studied the effect of epigallocatechin-3-gallate ( EGCG ) in multiple sclerosis. This material is highly included in green tea.Green tea is best served with japanese tea sets. There are many positive effects of teas in our body. First, it slows down the wrong-reacting immune system and it strengthens and protects the nerve cells against the attacks. After initial tests, they have confirmed the efficacy of animal experiments. The researchers checked their results on human immune and nerve cells that had been grown in cultures.

In contrast to most current therapies used to treat multiple sclerosis, EGCG has few side effects. Side effects, especially for patients with frequent relapses are very stressful and so the scientists hope to verify the good results in medical studies. In addition, the active ingredient can be administered orally and does not need spraying.

The first symptoms of the disease had showed a good effect according to studies in rats. The therapeutic approach could be achieved especially in patients in the initial phase. Further studies are now for the effect of green tea on the multiple sclerosis with relapses.

These studies are successful, a gentle new therapy for patients with multiple sclerosis are available.
