The World

Demand for long-term hair reduction treatments has increased dramatically around the world in recent years, due to traditional factors, fashion, sport, wellbeing and health requirements. Some of the most popular options include laser and intense pulsed light (IPL) treatments, which are often administered by aesthetic practitioners. This article will discuss the hair growth cycle, as well as treatment options, parameters and outcomes.

Post Infectious

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) released a statement characterizing COVID-19 as a pandemic that has, as of October 2020, caused almost 36 million confirmed global cases and over 1 million deaths. One of the long-term complications suggested by researchers is fibrosis. It has been hypothesized that the combination of ongoing pulmonary injury caused by COVID-19 and the inability to promptly repair damage results in interstitial matrix widening and eventual compression and destruction of alveoli and capillaries. Here we focus on pathogenesis, risk factors, different infectious causes of fibrosis along with COVID-19, and potential treatment options that might reduce its effects. Key words: COVID-19, pulmonary fibrosis, mechanism, treatment

AbstractIntense pulsed light sources (IPLs) consist of flash lamps with bandpass filters and emit incoherent polychromatic pulsed light of a high intensity and determined wavelength spectrum, fluence, and pulse duration. The combination of prescribed wavelengths, fluencies, pulse durations, and pulse intervals facilitates the treatment of a wide spectrum of skin conditions. Hereby, IPLs follow the basic principle of a more or less selective thermal damage of the target. This review discusses the current literature on IPLs with regard to the treatment of unwanted hair growth, vascular lesions, pigmented lesions, and as a light source for photodynamic therapy and skin rejuvenation. It also summarizes the physics of IPLs and provides guidance for the practical use of IPLs.
