... Abstract Permanent makeup (PMU) is a descendant of tattoo ink products and used with the intention of giving the face more advantageous contours. PMU makes it possible to condense eyelashes and eyebrows with fine lines or to visually correct them with cleverly placed contour lines. Even...

... disorders and metabolic diseases. An important method by which the gut microbiome can influence the gut-brain axis is through microbial production of psychoactive metabolites. Several bacteria have been shown to produce metabolites which can impact host health, such as short-chain fatty acids, conjugated...

... Abstract Undernutrition, low dietary diversity, and micronutrient deficiencies remain big problems in many developing countries. A large proportion of the people affected are smallholder farmers. Against this background, it is often assumed that further diversifying small-farm production could...

... Abstract The production of tattoo ink and pigments in the US is unregulated. There are no guidelines or standards issued by national agencies. However, the practice of tattooing is regulated at the state and local levels but varies widely. Adverse events are addressed when a problem is reported...

... of production and use. Marketing, advertising and promotion by tobacco companies led to tobacco use on such a scale as to be called an epidemic. Tobacco regulation has existed since at least 1500. Growing scientific evidence based on tobacco-related mortality and morbidity, notably since the early 20th century...

... cells. We treated gastric epithelial RGM1 cells both under acidic conditions and with NSAID, and examined cellular injury, lipid peroxidation, mitochondrial transmembrane potential and production of mitochondrial superoxide anions. In this review, we discuss the pathophysiology of gastric acid and NSAID...

.../17,20-lyasecytochrome P450 (P450c17) are necessary for DHEA production and are differentially regulated duringadrenal development. Production of DHEA and DS occurs in the zona reticularis (ZR) of adults and the fetalzone of fetal primate adrenal glands, which is the primary substrate for maternal...

... a genetic basis for food likes/dislikes may explain, in part,some of the inconsistencies among epidemiologic studies relating diet to risk of chronic diseases.Identifying populations with preferences for particular flavors or foods may lead to thedevelopment of novel food products targeted to specific...

... titer and antibody avidityfor the IgG class in patients with post-MRSA GN, but no significant correlation wasobserved for the IgA class. Conclusion: These results suggest that patients with IgAN havea strong response through production of IgA with low avidity against S. aureus. ...

... Abstract This paper analyses the evolution of hypochlorite as strong disinfectant. The electrochemicalproduction of hypochloric acid or sodium hypochlorite represents the best methodto obtain a pure product. To have a good production (as quality and quantity), it is necessaryto optimize...

... Abstract The Lyocell process (system: cellulose-water-N-methylmorpholine oxide) of ZimmerAG offers special advantages for the production of cellulose fibers. The process excels bydissolving the most diverse cellulose types as these are optimally adjusted to the process byapplying different...
