However, this botoxin approach ALONE does not stimulate very significant hair growth which we would explain by saying that it's because, according to our theory, it only addresses "one-half" of the problem. The MALINIAK METHOD, states that HAIR LOSS and Male Pattern Baldness is caused by TWO FACTORS, and therefore treats both the first and second parts of the problem, the tight GALEA and the DHT accumulation and more importantly, provides a new idea and method to stimulate the dormant follicles to become active again by reviving an "old established" science.
The second study was conducted at the University of Pennsylvania by George Cotsarelis and published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation. It found that bald areas and non-bald areas have the same number of "stem cells" but the non-bald areas had more "progenitor" cells, which are a more mature form of the stem cells. It concluded that these stem cells could in fact be stimulated to transform into these "progenitor cells" and grow hair again in bald areas. Therefore, contrary to the previous conventional wisdom, "dormant" follicles can in fact be revived, as originally suggested by the MALINIAK METHOD one year ago, and more importantly, we actually have a treatment method by which to do this using our electrical stimulator. This study therefore confirms the second premise of the MALINIAK METHOD that "dormant" follicles can in fact be rejuvenated to grow hair again".
This article investigates the extent to which citation and publication patterns differ between men and women in the international relations (IR) literature. Using data from the Teaching, Research, and International Policy project on peer-reviewed publications between 1980 and 2006, we show that women are systematically cited less than men after controlling for a large number of variables including year of publication, venue of publication, substantive focus, theoretical perspective, methodology, tenure status, and institutional affiliation. These results are robust to a variety of modeling choices. We then turn to network analysis to investigate the extent to which the gender of an article's author affects that article's relative centrality in the network of citations between papers in our sample. Articles authored by women are systematically less central than articles authored by men, all else equal. This is likely because (1) women tend to cite themselves less than men, and (2) men (who make up a disproportionate share of IR scholars) tend to cite men more than women. This is the first study in political science to reveal significant gender differences in citation patterns and is especially meaningful because citation counts are increasingly used as a key measure of research's quality and impact.
Objective: This study examined the correlation of serum untargeted metabolomic markers with 4 diet pattern scores-the alternate Mediterranean diet score (aMED), alternate Healthy Eating Index (AHEI)-2010, the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet, and the Healthy Eating Index (HEI)-2015-and used multivariate methods to identify discriminatory metabolites for each pattern.
Conclusions: Metabolomic methods that used a split-sample approach identified potential biomarkers for 4 healthy diet patterns. Similar metabolites across scores reflect fish consumption in healthy dietary patterns. These findings should be replicated in independent populations.
This study further demonstrates the consistency and strength of association between BMI and detection and density of CLS-B in both African-American and White women diagnosed with breast cancer. Similar to previous studies, we did not find evidence that CLS-B was associated with tumor characteristics at diagnosis. However, in contrast to two previous investigations, we did not observe worse overall or progression-free survival among those with CLS-B present, raising questions related to differences in methodology in CLS-B assessment and whether CLS-B is in fact related to worse clinical outcomes.
The article describes molecular dynamics simulations of 4-n-pentyl-4'-cyanobiphenyl (5CB) in the nematic phase at 300 K using two interaction models. The first model comprises united atoms, while in the second, shorter simulation, the hydrogen atoms are explicitly included. Liquid crystalline order parameters were calculated using various definitions of molecular frames and were found to be in reasonable agreement with experiments. Distributions of dihedral angles and relative populations of various conformations in the alkyl chain have been determined. Translational and rotational diffusion processes were investigated using time correlation functions, and were compared with experimental results. Local order parameters, relevant for deuterium nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra, were determined for the segments in the alkyl chain. Proton NMR line shapes were calculated from the trajectory using an approximate method for determination of the dipole-dipole Hamiltonian matrix. These line shapes were found to be very sensitive to conformational distributions and therefore to the force field used in the simulation.
On a path analogous to other surgical disciplines, the progression of facial cosmetic surgery has trended toward shorter scars and less invasive techniques. This article outlines an approach to facelifting that limits the scar to the temporal scalp, preauricular area, and retroauricular sulcus. It will enable the reader to identify those patients who are candidates for a less invasive procedure compared with the conventional facelift approach. Specifically, the temporal facelift addresses the lateral brow, the middle one third of the face, and the upper neck. In addition, this article examines the various and current methods for treatment of the glabellar area of the forehead. Medical and surgical options are outlined for the correction of those rhytids induced by corrugator and procerus muscle activity.
Parents were more likely to consent passively than actively. This difference was greater among the more deprived: OR 16.9 (95% CI 5.7 to 50.2) in the least and 129.6 (95% CI 39.9 to 420.6) in the most deprived quintile (test for interaction: method of consent by level of deprivation, p=0.02). For all children eligible, completion was more likely if passive consent was used (OR 2.8, 95% CI 2.2 to 3.7). When only children who gave consent are considered, completion was less likely when passive rather than active consent was used (OR 0.6, 95% CI 0.4 to 0.9). Completion rate decreased as level of deprivation increased; we found no evidence that the OR for the method of consent varied by level of deprivation. There was no evidence that the quality of dietary data, as measured by an assessment of under-reporting, differed by method of consent (OR 0.8, 95% CI 0.5 to 1.2).
A central tenet of health and social research is that no one should be recruited to a study without providing informed consent. When the research involves children, the situation is further complicated by the need to obtain consent from the child's legal guardian. While the main concern is that recruits should be fully informed and free to make their choice, all researchers are conscious of the effect of a low recruitment rate on the representativeness of the sample obtained1 2 and thus the generalisability of findings. In any particular context, there may be several equally acceptable ways by which consent may be obtained. If the proportion of those approached who agree to participate varies with the method used, then this is likely to have implications for the usefulness of the inferences that are ultimately made.
Four logistic regressions were performed. In each, a binary outcome was related to factors indicating IMD quintile, the method of obtaining consent and the interaction of these factors, all adjusted for gender. The outcome in the first analysis was whether or not each eligible child's parent gave consent to be in the study. In the second, the outcome was whether or not each eligible child provided a complete dietary diary. These analyses give estimates of the probability of giving consent and of the probability of providing a complete dietary diary, respectively. The third analysis also considered whether or not a child completed their dietary diary but only among children who agreed to participate in the study: this gives an estimate of the conditional probability that a child provided a complete diary, given that they agreed to participate in the study. The outcome in the final analysis considered data quality, that is, whether or not children providing diaries were classified as an under-reporter or not.
Table 1 shows the number (percentage) of all eligible children for who consent was given (parental), and who completed by method of consent and level of deprivation. Tables 2 and 3 present the ORs and 95% CI for the method of consent, level of deprivation and the interaction (method of consent by level of deprivation) relevant to the outcomes. Table 4 presents the ORs and 95% CI for the method of consent and level of deprivation in children who under-reported.
We found a higher percentage of children's parents consented using passive (96%) compared with active consent (41%). With passive consent a similar percentage of children's parents consented in each deprivation quintile, whereas when active consent was used the consent rate decreased as level of deprivation increased (table 1). We found evidence of an interaction between the method of consent and level of deprivation for the proportion of children's parents that consented (p=0.023). When using passive consent, children's parents in IMD quintile 1 (least deprived) were 16.9 times more likely to consent than when using active consent in IMD quintile 1 (OR 16.9, 95% CI 5.7 to 50.2), while in IMD quintile 5 (most deprived) this value rose to 129.6 (95% CI 39.9 to 420.6; table 2).
