M any studies have investigated hair removal or growth prevention treatments, but they often measure hair density using noninvasive methods that are subjective and qualitative. Although photographic and digital hair-counting methods have been used, their reliability and validity remain unknown. We describe a simple, noninvasive method of hair counting used in a hair growth prevention treatment ...

BACKGROUND The uniform delivery of laser energy is particularly important for safe and effective laser hair removal (LHR) treatment. Although it is necessary to quantitatively assess the spatial distribution of the delivered laser, laser spots are difficult to trace owing to a lack of visual cues. This study proposes a novel preclinic tool to evaluate operator proficiency in LHR treatment and a...

Use of contraceptive implants has surged in recent years, yet emerging data show a deficit of service delivery capacity and coverage for implant removals. The number of projected removals needed in the 69 FP2020 focus countries in 2018 (4.9–5.8 million) is more than twice that estimated for 2015 (2.2 million). We must proactively plan and execute high-quality implant removal services in order t...

background and purpose: generated dye wastewater by the textile industry is usually toxic, non-biodegradable and resistant in the environment. eggshell is one of the inexpensive material and for the reason the vesicular structures can be used as a proper adsorbent for pollutants removal. the aim of this study is to investigate the efficiency of eggshell for removal of acid orange 2 dye from aqu...

background: one of the new methods for elimination or destruction of estrogen hormones is ultrasound irradiation. the aim of this study was to determine the main mechanism of steroid hormones removal by ultrasound. methods: in this study, estrogen (e1) and 17 beta-estradiol (e2) were irradiated with ultrasound at different frequencies, powers, and exposure times in two cases: with and without b...

background: in recent years, various toxic chemicals/compounds have been widely detected at dangerous levels in drinking water in many parts of the world posing a variety of serious health risks to human beings. one of these toxic chemicals is lead, so this paper aimed to evaluate of efficiency coconut husk as cheap adsorbent for removal lead under different conditions. methods: in the spring o...

background: today, issues such as water shortage, difficulties and costs related to supplying safe water, and anomalous concentrations of heavy metals in groundwater and surface water resources, doubled the necessity of access to technical methods on removing these pollutants from water resources. methods: in this lab study, cationic resin purolite s-930 (with co-polymer styrene di-vinyl benzen...
