Quantitative methods for the analysis of human hair growth and hair loss are necessary for patient follow-ups or to determine the efficacy of hair growth promoting drugs.  While reviewing the capabilities of the different methods, the common theme emerges that most techniques are of little practical use to the clinician because they are time consuming, costly, or difficult to perform. An operator- and patient-friendly, inexpensive, validated, and reliable method for assessing hair growth was therefore a rational need.  With TrichoScan, such a tool is now available. TrichoScan is a software-based method for the analysis of human hair. For this purpose, digital images are taken from the scalp with a specially developed camera-optics system. TrichoScan software is then used to automatically calculate important parameters of hair growth, such as hair density or thickness from the images.

Root canal treatment is for the pulp of your tooth once bacteria have reached the pulp causing it to become infected. Root canal treatment helps preserve your tooth as long as possible so that you do not have to have it removed.  The affected tooth is anaesthetized with a local anaesthesia. Tooth is then drilled, to reach the pulp chamber and to have access to the pulp chamber and root canals. Fine instruments are used to reach the root canals and to clear the infected tissue. These are called reamers, files and are available in various dimensions. Files of suitable sizes are used for mechanical cleaning and shaping of the canals. The files used can vary from 0.06 mm to 2 mm in diameter. To give you an idea, the thickness of human hair varies from 0.02 mm to 0.2 mm, so a dental file is finer than a thick strand of human hair. Irrigating solutions help to dissolve and flush out the tissue and toxins of organisms. These solutions aid in chemical cleaning of the canals.    Now the tooth i

Chemotherapy is a drug treatment that uses powerful chemicals to kill fast-growing cells in your body. Chemotherapy is most often used to treat cancer, since cancer cells grow and multiply much more quickly than most cells in the body. Chemotherapy circulates throughout your body in the bloodstream. So it can treat cancer cells almost anywhere in the body. This is known as systemic treatment. Chemotherapy kills cells that are in the process of splitting into 2 new cells. Body tissues are made of billions of individual cells. Once we are fully grown, most of the body's cells don't divide and multiply much. They only divide if they need to repair damage. When cells divide, they split into 2 identical new cells. So where there was 1 cell, there are now 2. Then these divide to make 4, then 8 and so on. In cancer, the cells keep on dividing until there is a mass of cells. This mass of cells becomes a lump, called a tumour. Because cancer cells divide much more often than most normal

A nerve conduction velocity (NCV) test is used to assess nerve damage and dysfunction. Also known as a nerve conduction study, the procedure measures how quickly electrical signals move through your peripheral nerves. Peripheral nerves start where the nerve root takes off from the spinal cord. These nerves help control your muscles and experience the senses. Healthy nerves send electrical signals more quickly and with greater strength than damaged nerves. The NCV test helps doctor differentiate between an injury to the nerve fiber and an injury to the myelin sheath, the protective covering surrounding the nerve. It can also help doctor tell the difference between a nerve disorder and a condition where a nerve injury has affected the muscles. Making these distinctions is important for proper diagnosis and determining course of treatment.

Paint protection film also called clear film is a thermoplastic urethane often self healing film applied to painted surfaces of a new or used car in order to protect the paint from stone chips, bug splatters, and minor abrasions. This film is also used on airplanes, RVs, cell phones, electronics, screens, motorcycles and many other areas. Paint protection film is  OEM approved by virtually all car manufacturers. Paint protection film is installed on a limited basis by manufacturers on various pieces of cars at the factory (e.g. the rear arches of Porsches). This film is most commonly applied to high impact areas of vehicles which include: the hood, the front fenders, the front bumper, the side view mirrors, the rocker panels, the lower portion of the doors, and the rear guards behind the rear wheels.  This is because these specific panels are the most susceptible to damage from rock chips and other forms of road debris from other vehicles, driving near construction, and even through se

In winter, truckers and heavy truck drivers use plastic containers to prevent the wheel from jamming. This method is mainly used for trailers, since a powerful tractor can move without effort. On trailers, the driver does not notice that the jammed wheel begins to wear out and burst when the truck moves. They cannot see this process because the trailer is long. To solve the problem, truckers install plastic containers and can easily see the moment of slipping or scrolling in the rear-view mirror. The container is mounted in such a way that its bottom protrudes slightly beyond the border of the tire. They also try to use colored plastic so that it can be seen from a distance. Another reason for use is to protect against freezing of bolts or nuts. In severe frosty weather conditions, the wheel bolts on the wheel freeze. If the tire starts to crackle or burst, the trucker simply cannot perform its replacement. To protect from this, bottle caps are used, and the bolts are closed with them.

Anti-collision lights, also known as Beacon lights or Strobe lights are a set of lights required on every aircraft to improve visibility to others, as well as collision avoidance measures by warning other pilots. Historically they have used incandescent bulbs, but recently Light-emitting diodes have been used. Beacon lights are flashing red lights fitted on the top and bottom fuselage of an aircraft usually on larger passenger aircraft. Their purpose is to alert ground crew and other aircraft that an engine is starting up, running or shutting down, or that the aircraft is about to start moving. Some spin to produce the flashing effect, increasing the chance they will be noticed. Beacon lights are bright enough to be seen from the ground, and can be used to identify aircraft from the ground in dark or overcast conditions where the plane itself isn't completely visible. Strobe lights are flashing white lights on the furthest left, right and, on larger aircraft and some smaller ones,

In the proteins found in milk, a protein called beta-casein makes up 30%. Beta-casein is of two kinds : A-1 Beta-casein and A2 Beta-casein. Regular milk mostly contains A-1 protein which may cause uneasiness and according to some studies, can increase the risk to many diseases. A-2 protein milk is gentle on sensitive tummies and less likely to trigger symptoms associated with milk intolerance. A-2 protein is similar in structure to human milk which is why it’s naturally more digestible than A-1 milk. Research shows that A-1 protein milk causes many digestive issues. Moreover, A-2 milk is high in Omega 3 & 6, Vitamins, Calcium, Minerals, Iodine, Magnesium, antioxidant Beta-Carotene and many more. A-2 milk has shown to have medicinal benefits. It is particularly essential during pregnancy and childhood. Research shows that milk from special breed cows with a different kind of protein called A-2 is not only nutritious but also easier to digest. A-2 milk originates from cow's milk

We have three groups of neurons in the hypothalamus, at the base of the brain, that are responsible for regulating body temperature: a hypothalamic thermostat that monitors skin temperature (via incoming signals from nerve fibers) and blood temperature; a heat-promoting center that raises body temperature; and a heat-losing center that lowers body temperature. An infection stimulates the immune system to produce chemicals called endogenous pyrogens. These and prostaglandin E2 raise the set point of the hypothalamic thermostat (like turning up the thermostat in your house). The heat-promoting center constricts blood vessels near the skin surface so more heat is retained in the body, and if that’s not enough, it stimulates shivering to generate more heat, until the body temperature reaches the new set point. The elevated temperature makes it harder for bacteria and viruses to multiply, so the immune system can overwhelm these pathogens faster than they reproduce and rid the body of the i

Nephrectomy is the surgical removal of a kidney. The procedure is done to treat kidney cancer as well as other kidney diseases and injuries. Nephrectomy is also done to remove a healthy kidney from a donor (either living or deceased) for transplantation. There are two types of nephrectomy for a diseased kidney: partial and radical. In partial nephrectomy, only the diseased or injured portion of the kidney is removed. Radical nephrectomy involves removing the entire kidney, along with a section of the tube leading to the bladder (ureter), the gland that sits atop the kidney (adrenal gland), and the fatty tissue surrounding the kidney.  When both kidneys are removed at the same time, the procedure is called bilateral nephrectomy. The procedure used to remove a healthy kidney from a donor for the purpose of transplantation is called donor nephrectomy.

Footings are an important part of foundation construction. They are typically made of concrete with rebar reinforcement that has been poured into an excavated trench. The purpose of footings is to support the foundation and prevent settling. Footings are especially important in areas with troublesome soils. The construction of footings is best left to the pros that can assess the soil conditions and decide on the proper depth and width for the footings as well as the proper placement. The dimensions of footings also depend on the size and type of structure that will be built. Placement of footings is crucial to provide the proper support for the foundation and ultimately the structure.  Concrete footings may also be needed for projects such as a deck, pergola, retaining wall or other types of construction.

Electronic ink is a liquid substance, in development at MIT's Media Lab in partnership with a company called E Ink, that responds to electrical impulses to enable changeable text and image displays on a flexible surface. Electronic ink will be used for applications such as e-books, electronic newspapers, portable signs, Colour changing cars and foldable, rollable displays. Electronic ink consists of millions of tiny capsules filled with dark dyes and containing negatively charged white chips, floating in a substance like vegetable oil. The microcapsules, which are roughly the width of a human hair, contain positively charged white particles and negatively charged black particles. Applying a negative electrical field causes the white particles to rise to the surface. Conversely, applying a positive electrical field causes the black particles to rise to the surface. By applying different fields at different parts of a screen, e-ink produces a monochromatic text display. E-ink display

 Artificial photosynthesis involves four stages, making it very similar to natural photosynthesis :  1. Light harvesting: the collection of light particles (photons) by antenna molecules and the concentration of the collected energy in a reaction centre.  2. Charge separation: at the reaction centre, the collected sunlight is used to separate positive (‘holes’) and negative (electrons) charges from each other.  3. Water splitting: positive charges are directly injected into catalytic centres where they are used to split water into hydrogen ions (protons) and oxygen.  4. Fuel production: electrons from step 2 are given more energy from new photons and subsequently combined with the hydrogen ions and possibly CO2 to produce either hydrogen or a carbon-based fuel.  The chemical processes involved in the production of hydrogen (see figure 4) are simpler than those involved in the production of carbon-based fuels. Four protons and four electrons, released by splitting water with four photon

The flex is a measure of the stiffness of a hockey stick. Basically, the lower the flex number, the more flexible the stick is. I know, that’s a little counter intuitive. Since it’s called the flex number, some people think that a higher number would mean more flexibility, and I get why, but it’s actually the opposite. The reason why a lower flex number means a stick is more flexible makes sense when you understand what the number represents. The flex number indicates how many pounds of pressure it takes to bend the stick one inch. So, a stick that has a flex number of, say, 30 is much easier to bend one inch than a stick with a flex number of 100. The first thing to consider is if the stick is going to be cut down to shorten it, or have an extension added to make it longer. The flex for a stick is measured based on the standard length at which the stick is manufactured, but since the majority of players cut sticks down slightly, and some add extensions, this will change the feel of th

A colonoscopy is an exam used to detect changes or abnormalities in the large intestine (colon) and rectum. During a colonoscopy, a long, flexible tube (colonoscope) is inserted into the rectum. A tiny video camera at the tip of the tube allows the doctor to view the inside of the entire colon. If necessary, polyps or other types of abnormal tissue can be removed through the scope during a colonoscopy. Tissue samples (biopsies) can be taken during a colonoscopy as well. A colonoscopy can help your doctor explore possible causes of abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, chronic constipation, chronic diarrhea and other intestinal problems.

Uroflowmetry measures the flow of urine. It tracks how fast urine flows, how much flows out, and how long it takes. It’s a diagnostic test to assess how well the urinary tract functions. Doctor may suggest uroflowmetry if you have trouble urinating, or have a slow stream. By measuring the average and top rates of urine flow, this test can show an obstruction in urinary tract such as an enlarged prostate. When combined with the cystometrogram (CMG) it can help find problems like a weak bladder. The flow rate is calculated as milliliters (ml) of urine passed per second. Both average and top flow rates are measured. The fastest flow rate, also known as Qmax, is used to understand if a block or obstruction is severe.

Cash counting machines are made to count the number or denomination of bills that are placed into the machine. They pull in the bills, count the amount that was inserted, and give you the correct number of bills in a stack. This saves a lot of time and offers a mistake-free way to count large sums.  Cash counting machines are designed to count and sometimes sort bills. These machines have an internal beam that counts the number of times the beam of light is interrupted. This tells the machine how many bills have been counted. For machines that also help to detect counterfeit bills, there is a black light that illuminates the fluorescent images on real bills. This results in the ability to count the bills and detect counterfeit cash at the same time. There are also machines that can determine the denomination of each bill using colour image sensors, or CIS. The sensor scans and determines the value of the bill and adds this to the total on the display screen. Coin Counters, These machin

A ferrofluid is a liquid which becomes highly magnetized in the presence of a magnetic field. The distinctive ‘spikey’ shape of a magnetized ferrofluid is caused by the need to find the most stable shape in order to minimize the total energy of the system, an effect known as the normal-field instability. The fluid is more easily magnetized than the surrounding air, so is drawn out along the magnetic field lines, resulting in the formation of peaks and troughs. However, the extension of the ferrofluid is resisted by gravity and surface tension. The formation of the corrugations lowers the magnetic energy of the system but raises the gravitational energy and surface free energy. When these forces are balanced, the minimum energy configuration is achieved. Because ferrofluids are very easily magnetized (they have an incredibly high magnetic susceptibility), the peaks can be produced using a small bar magnet. Ferrofluids are known as colloidal fluids and are composed of nanoscale ferromagn

Bluetooth uses radio waves instead of wires or cables to transmit information between electronic devices over short-distances. Unlike your cellphone, which uses radio waves to communicate with a cell tower several miles away, the radio waves Bluetooth products use are 1000 times weaker and only travel small distances between the two communicating devices, usually 10 feet or less. If you have a wireless Bluetooth keyboard for your computer, and you take the keyboard to a friend’s house but leave the computer at home, your keyboard won’t be able to communicate with the computer over such a distance. And if you type on it, nothing will appear on your computer screen at home. When Bluetooth-enabled devices are close enough, they can connect with each other through a tiny computer chip inside them that emits the special Bluetooth radio waves. But first, you have to turn on this chip, which you can usually do by pressing a specific button or flipping a marked switch. Then, the communication

When a gun is shot in the air, the bullet travels straight up into the sky and it will keep moving up until the initial kinetic energy of the bullet is exhausted as a result of air resistance and gravity then it attains its maximum height. It is at that point that the bullet starts falling to the ground at a terminal velocity that is lower than the muzzle velocity when it left the barrel of the gun. When the bullet starts falling where it will land might be unpredictable because of the effect of air and wind on it, nevertheless, these falling bullets can injure people and kill people. It should be noted that when a gun is shot at an angle that is less than vertical, it is more dangerous when falling because the bullet maintains the angular ballistic trajectory and the chances of its engaging in a tumbling motion is less, which makes it travel at a speed that is higher than a bullet that is in a free fall. A falling bullet can reach a speed of more than 61 metres per second and a bullet

The myelin sheath is the protective, fatty coating surrounding your nerve fibers, similar to the protective insulation around electrical wires. This coating enables the electrical impulses between nerve cells to travel back and forth rapidly. When myelin becomes damaged, these electrical signals are interrupted and may even stop altogether. Myelin is created by specific types of glial cells. In the Central Nervous System (CNS), glial cells are oligodendrocytes; in the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS), they are Schwann cells. If you've ever noticed the jerky, sudden movements babies make, this is because their myelin sheaths aren't fully developed at birth. As they get older and the myelin matures and builds up, their movements become smoother and more controlled. This process continues through adulthood. Demyelination is the term used to describe the destruction of the myelin sheath, the protective covering surrounding nerve fibers. This damage causes nerve signals to slow down
