In simulated consumer use, this home-use IPL demonstrated a significant, quantifiable and sustainable reduction in unwanted body and facial hair with minimal side effects.
Clinical observation and mathematical modelling suggests that the square pulse, partial discharge IPL system may provide the IPL operator with greater control over the coagulation of pigment and is therefore the more efficient device for effective pigment lightening with fewer side effects.
Of. recent years much attention has been given to the subject of obesity and in particular its relationship to pre-eclamptit toxaemia and essential hypertension.Williamfis (I917) In all probability it is the tendency to hypertension in the obese subject which predisposes to the toxaemia, and not the overweight itself, which is directly responsible for the increas,ed incidence of toxaemia; for Browne and Dodds (1939) found a hypertensive tendency in most of their 1t4 cases of recurrent toxaemia and suggested that they were all potential hypertensives in whom the disease would become manifest in time.In this survey it is hoped to show that besides there being an increased incidence of essential hypertension and toxaemia associated with obesity there are a number of other complications which may occur and which add to the hazards to both mother and child. Although obesity and overweight are not strictly speaking synonymous terms, as was pointed out by Sinclair (1953), nevertheless in this investigation the term obesity refers to overweight. Armstrong, Dublin, Wheatly, and Marks (1951) referred to anyone who weighed more than 10% above ideal weight for height as being obese, but in this survey the patient was regarded as obese if her actual weight exceeded her calculated weight by 14 lb. (6.4 kg.) or more. Of the 1,145 cases, 231 (20.2%) were overweight, 288 (25.1 %) were intermediate, and 626 (54.7%) were normal or underweight. It will be noticed that about one in five of all patients were considered to be overweight-when the above criteria were applied.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
