Abstract This article considers three temporary and reversible penal shaming acts in nineteenth-century Iran: the shaving or cutting of hair, irrespective gender; men's facial hair; forcible removal headgear coerced wearing silly headgear. Drawing on anthropological, historical, sociological studies this study argues that hair hat punishments embodied elements ritual, sexuality, social control,...

Background and aim: Laser is one of the most recent techniques which has widespread use in the treatment of many skin diseases. This technique has been successfully used to remove unwanted hairs in hirsutism. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety of long-pulsed 755 nm alexandrite and long-pulsed 1064 nm Nd: YAG lasers individually and in combination for perma...

Purpose To evaluate the preferences of women and men regarding female pubic hair depilation and identify possible reasons for these preferences. Methods This is a cross-sectional study of men and women over 18 years old who were invited by the official blog of our institution to respond anonymously to an online and self-administered questionnaire made by the researchers. The analyses were made ...

Aims, Objectives and Background Purpose of the study was to provide supporting evidence for application depilatory cream on a child presenting with hair tourniquet syndrome, measure it’s efficacy any side effects. Hair syndrome is rare phenonium there are minimal evidenced based studies support best practice how remove them safely. Our department has been using dissolve hair, have audited 3 yea...

PURPOSE: Neurosurgical registration using optical tracking in prone position is problematic due to a lack of anatomical landmarks on the posterior skull. The current method of registration involves insertion of screws into the skull. Surface registration using ultrasound has been proposed as a less invasive method of registration. Obtaining full access to the posterior skull would require patie...

The presence of history of redness and swelling of toe in an infant without history of trauma is typical of hair threat tourniquet syndrome. The treatment simply involves incision and removal of hair fibers. Physicians should be aware of this syndrome because early diagnosis and treatment avoid serious complications.

BACKGROUND Alexandrite (755 nm) and diode lasers (800-810 nm) are commonly used for hair removal. The alexandrite laser technology is somewhat cumbersome whereas new diode lasers are more robust. Recently, alexandrite-like 755 nm wavelength diodes became available. OBJECTIVES To compare the efficacy, tolerability, and subject satisfaction of a 755 nm diode laser operated in conventional (HR) ...

Using mouse gene expression microarray analysis, we obtained dynamic expression profiles of the whole genome in a depilation-induced hair growth mouse model. S100A3 expression increased during the anagen phase and returned to normal during the telogen phase. The effects of S100A3 blockade on the hair growth cycle were examined in mice after subcutaneous injection of an anti-mouse S100A3 antibod...

BACKGROUND Tracking of various parameters associated with laser hair removal is tedious and time consuming. The currently available mathematical models are not simple enough for physicians to be used as a treatment optimization and patient education tool. AIM The aim of the study was to develop a mathematical model for laser hair removal using agent-based modeling and to make a user-friendly ...

UNLABELLED Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) photodepilation is usually performed as a hair removal method. The treatment is recommended to be indicated by a physician, depending on each patient and on its characteristics. However, the use of laser devices by medical laypersons is frequent and it can suppose a risk of damage for the patients. Most side effects associated to IPL photodepilation are tra...
