The aim of this article is to summarize the challenges which might have to be faced by the beginners while setting up a hair transplantation practice. Hair transplantation is one of the most rapidly evolving procedures in aesthetic surgery that is steadily gaining attention in dermatology practice in the recent times. It is a very time‑consuming and tedious procedure to be performed even by the trained practitioner.Hair transplantation is a procedure which needs highly skilled professional and helping labor. Hand and eye co‑ordination are also utmost important to perform such delicate surgeries.Alcohol is a diuretic, meaning it will dehydrate you. This can prolong your recovery time and increase your risk of discomfort. Moreover, it can elevate your blood pressure to an unsafe level and reduce the supply of blood and crucial nutrients to your head. Avoid alcohol for the first five days after your procedure.

AbstractHair transplantation being an elective aesthetic surgery, the importance of informed consent cannot be overstated. Explaining the condition of hair loss, the causes, progress, prognosis, and all available treatment options is a part of this process. Providing conflict-free information, ensuring that the patient comprehends this information, and allowing him/her to make the decision to authorize the surgeon to perform the procedure is the moral obligation of the hair transplant surgeon. The benefits of this approach are noticeable and one of the most effective ways to have a satisfied patient and reduce the possibility of claims.

Peripheral adrenergic function is important in the maintenance of postural normotension. It may be impaired in peripheral neuropathies, and this may be manifested as alterations in acral temperature, color, or sweating. Simple, accurate, and reproducible tests of peripheral adrenergic function are now routinely used in clinical autonomic laboratories. For noninvasive evaluation of autonomic function, tests of peripheral adrenergic function can be used to separately evaluate the vagal and adrenergic components of baroreflex sensitivity. The vagal component is derived from the heart period response to blood pressure change and the adrenergic component by the blood pressure recovery time in response to the preceding fall in blood pressure, induced by the Valsalva maneuver.This chapter describes methods used to determine peripheral adrenergic function and their value and shortcomings.

ABSTRACTTechniques in hair transplantation have evolved recently which make results look more natural. Hair restoration is one of the most exciting and innovative surgical fields in aesthetic surgery today. A precise appreciation of anatomy has allowed the useof follicular unit grafts. With better methods of harvesting and implantation, hair transplantation results represent a blend of art and science.

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is one of the appropriate treatments for many neuropsychiatric patients, especially those with mood disorders. Short-term complications of ECT include agitation and postictal. In this study, we compared the addition of dexmedetomidine or remifentanil to thiopental as the main anaesthetic used in ECT. In this double-blind randomised clinical trial, 90 patients with mood disorders (candidates for ECT) were divided into two groups based on their therapy: dexmedetomidine or remifentanil. In the first group (DG), patients were slowly injected intravenously with 0.5 μg/kg dexmedetomidine before induction of anesthesia. In the second group (GR), 100 μg of remifentanil was slowly injected intravenously.In addition, we collected demographic information such as respiratory rate, heart pulse rate, seizure time, mean of arterial blood pressure, recovery duration and the oxygen arterial saturation recorded after recovery. Data obtained were analysed by use of statistical software, SPSS-23. The mean age of both groups was approximately 37 years with the majority being men. There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of age and sex, blood pressure, heart rate, duration of seizures and arterial oxygen saturation before ECT. The mean blood pressure and heart rate in the recovery group were lower in the dexmedetomidine group than in the remifentanil group and the hemodynamics in the dexmedetomidine group were more stable. The recovery time in the dexmedetomidine group was longer than that of the remifentanil group (p = 0.001). Both groups had approximately the same satisfaction and the rate of agitation after ECT was the same. Both remifentanil and dexmedetomidine as adjuvants lead to a decrease in patients' post-ECT hyperdynamic responses. In our study, we demonstrated that the effect of dexmedetomidine is greater than remifentanil. On the other hand, neither dexmedetomidine nor remifentanil had a negative effect on seizure duration, but dexmedetomidine significantly prolonged recovery time, when compared to remifentanil.

Objectives: To evaluate the hemodynamic and recovery characteristics of dexmeditomidine and propofol in dilatation and curettage. Study Design: Randomized control trial. Setting: Department of Anaesthesia, DHQ Teaching Hospital Sargodha. Period: March 2016 to December 2017. Material & Methods: Patients undergoing dilatation & curettage were randomly divided into two groups, group P received IV propofol 1.5mg/kg slowly over 5 min and group D received dexmeditomidine at a loading dose of 1µg/kg followed by 0.5 µg/kg/h. During the procedure blood pressure and heart rate were compared in both groups. In the recovery room, recovery time was compared in both groups by using modified aldrete score. Results: In Group D, the decrease in heart rate was statistically significant when compared with group P. Both groups showed a decrease in MAP but results were not statistically significant when compared in both groups. Patients in group D were discharged earlier from recovery room than group P and results were statistically significant. Conclusion: Dexmeditomodine provides better recovery than propofol so it is a suitable drug for day care minor surgical procedures. Similarly dexmeditomidine is superior to propofol by providing less respiratory depression intraopertaively.

ABSTRACT Hair transplantation and dermatoscopy are two growing fields in dermatology. We present clinical and dermascopic evaluation of patients who had undergone hair transplantation in our institute and also in patients who sought for correction for already performed hair transplantation for various reasons. Scalp examination of donor and recipient zones was done using hand held dermatoscope and assessed for aesthetic outcome and complications if any in these zones. The trichoscopic examination helps dermatologist to look into the tiny intricacies and also to correlate these with clinical examination, which helps the hair transplant surgeon to understand the technical mistakes and correct the defects for perfection. From these observations we can conclude that dermascope is an important pocket tool for hair transplant surgeons. How to cite this article Madura C, Ravipati N, Chandrashekar BS.

In a world in which Engineering, Technology and Science play an increasingly dominant role, the prosperity of Britain with its limited natural resources depends more than ever before on the skill of its population. The proper education, training and optimum utilisation of its manpower is therefore vital. There is strong evidence for anxiety as to the recruitment, supply and use of scientists, technologists and engineers who create the knowledge and organise the human effort required for its successful exploitation in industry and commerce upon which our whole economy depends. These three highly skilled professional groups are interlinked and interdependent.
