Age is the most significant factor contributing to the overall change in the appearance of an individual's facial features over time. This gradual process of structural weakening of the face begins during the third decade and continues to worsen during the remainder of an individual's lifetime. In this article we discuss how the approach to midface rejuvenation has evolved over time owing to ou...

Replication has been used to build intrusion-tolerant systems, which are able to tolerate a limited number intrusions before the system is compromised. An important limitation of intrusion-tolerant systems is that if the system’s replicas are similar, once a flaw is discovered and exploited in one replica, then it is easy to replicate it on the other replicas, compromising the whole system. To ...

We seek to understand whether the stellar populations of galactic bulges show evidence of secular evolution triggered by the presence of the disc. For this purpose we re-analyse the sample of Proctor and Sansom, deriving stellar population ages and element abundances from absorption line indices as functions of central velocity dispersion and Hubble type. We obtain consistent constraints on age...

IMPORTANCE To date, the conversation about facial rejuvenation surgery has focused on one goal: youthfulness. However, human beings are judged throughout life based on many other characteristics and personal qualities conveyed by their faces. The term facial profiling has been used to describe this act of determining personality attributes through visual observation. OBJECTIVES To introduce t...

As companies continue to rapidly deploy Intel processor-based servers in mission-critical areas of their businesses where continuous operation is expected, managing and controlling the costs associated with these servers will increase in importance. IT professionals across all segments of the market will expect servers to be enabled for manageability in any environment, right out of the box, an...

Laser and laser-like assisted facial rejuvenation has become very popular during the last decade. Although a myriad of techniques are available, such approaches can be divided into four basic approaches. There are those that (i) ablate the epidermis, cause dermal wounding, and provide a significant thermal effect (CO(2) lasers); (ii) ablate the epidermis, cause dermal wounding, and minimal ther...

Introduction Anatomical nasal tissues include bone, cartilage, muscles, subcutaneous layer, and skin. All these elements are carefully organized to allow proper physiology and adequate aesthetics. These variables have been extensively studied and published, principally related to the corrections of development or post-traumatic abnormalities. Nasal surgical corrections have focused on re-establ...

In traditional Oriental medicine, facial rejuvenation is achieved by inserting acupuncture needles at different points along designated channels to attain tonification or sedation effects. According to the author, treatment benefits include elimination of some wrinkles and decrease in length and depth of others, decrease of facial edema, decrease of acne, improvement of facial muscle tone, impr...

There are hundreds if not thousands topical skin rejuvenation treatments on the market, from wrinkle creams to eye serums to lifting gels. If all of them worked as advertised, anyone with a bit of extra cash could have a skin of a fifteen year old. In reality, relatively few topical agents are clinically proven to improve wrinkles and other signs of skin aging. Others are supported by some posi...

Introduction: The rejuvenation characteristics of fat tissue grafting has been established for many years. Recently it has been shown that stromal vascular fraction (SVF) of fat tissue contributes to its rejuvenation properties. As the SVF is a minimal processed cell population (based on FDA guidance), therefore it is a suitable cell therapy for skin rejuvenation. This clinical trial was aimed ...
