  • Beware, Red Heads Don't Numb!
    Research Article Published: 08 Mar, 2019 Journal of Ophthalmology Forecast Beware, Red Heads Don’t Numb! Matthews JM*, Petrykowski B and Davidorf F Havener Eye Institute, The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, USA Abstract Background: The use of topical anesthesia in the outpatient setting by Ophthalmologists has seen a dramatic increase since the development of antivegf medications. Each year, there are an estimated 6-7 million anti-vegf injections performed in the United States. People with red hair have a mutation of the MC1R gene, which has been associated with decreased effectiveness of local anesthesia. The purpose of this communication is to alert the ophthalmology community of potential for inadequate anesthesia for intraocular injections Methods: IRB was obtained through OSU IRB. 175 patients receiving intravitreal injections were randomly surveyed to determine incidence of poor analgesia with injections. Results: Overall, 19/175 patients were found to have decreased effectiveness of local anesthesia. We found a surprisingly high incidence (10.5%) of patients who require increased amounts of local anesthesia than is commonly used in those with natural red/auburn hair. Conclusion: We encourage ophthalmologists who use local anesthesia for their patients to include an assessment of their response to dental anesthesia. These individuals need to be identified who have had previously bad experiences with poor responses to local anesthesia. We recommend using twice the amount of topical anesthesia in these patients. Keywords: Intravitreal injections; MC1R Gene; Red hair; VEGF; Topical anesthesia Introduction The use of topical anesthesia in the outpatient setting by Ophthalmologists has seen a dramatic increase since the development of antivegf medications.

Historical Note For the first years of the University of Chicago, there was considerable ambiguity as to its colors. In 1892, a committee of trustees recommended orange and grey as the university's colors, but only the color orange was officially adopted. However, this decision was far from final. Not only did the use of orange upset Syracuse University, it clashed with University of Chicago students' tradition of using gold as the university color. Complicating this was the use of many different shades of orange and gold in different combination at student events.

  • City of Orange Historic Context Statement
    City of Orange Historic Context Statement Prepared by Chattel Architecture, Planning & Preservation, Inc. Prepared for P&D Consultants for the City of Orange General Plan Update Revised November 2006 City of Orange Historic Context Statement Introduction and Methodology This historic context statement for the City of Orange (hereinafter “city” or “Orange”) is a synthesis of existing documentation and new research. The city currently contains two historic districts listed on the National Register of Historic Places (National Register) – The Plaza Historic District (Plaza District, listed in 1982) and the Old Towne Orange Historic District (Old Towne National Register District, listed in 1997). The City also contains a locally designated Old Towne district (Old Towne Local District or Old Towne, established in 1981 and described in the current City Historic Preservation Element). Each of these three districts has different boundaries and histories, or historic context statements. The following updated historic context statement for Old Towne and selected areas outside of Old Towne combines these histories, in addition to other histories compiled by the City and the Orange Public Library, as well as original historic research performed by Chattel Architecture, Planning & Preservation, Inc. (Chattel Architecture) and its archaeological sub-consultant, PAR Environmental Services, Inc. (PAR). Chattel Architecture conducted research at the Orange Public Library, the Orange County Archives, the UCLA Air Photo Archives, the Fairchild Aerial Photo Collection at Whittier College, and the Los Angeles Public Library. Additional general historical information comes from Phil Brigandi’s Orange: The City ‘Round the Plaza, and information on the Cypress Street Barrio comes from the Shades of Orange event held in Orange on June 4, 2005 and interviews with members of the Orange Barrio Historical Society.

Cover design by Jeff Belizaire ABOUT THIS BOOK Why does earlier Greek painting (Archaic/Classical) seem so clear and—deceptively— simple while the latest painting (Hellenistic/Graeco-Roman) is so much more complex but also familiar to us? Is there a single, coherent explanation that will cover this remarkable range? What can we recover from ancient documents and practices that can objectively be called “Greek color theory”? Present day historians of ancient art consistently conceive of color in terms of triads: red, yellow, blue or, less often, red, green, blue. This habitude derives ultimately from the color wheel invented by J.W. Goethe some two centuries ago. So familiar and useful is his system that it is only natural to judge the color orientation of the Greeks on its basis. To do so, however, assumes, consciously or not, that the color understanding of our age is the definitive paradigm for that subject.

    EFFECT OF SEMI-PERMANENT HAIR COLOR CONDITIONER FOR MAINTENANCE HAIR COLORING 1,* 1 1 Kanchanapa Sathirachawan Waruttaya Sripattanakul , Thapakorn Tree-udom , Nanthana Chanthasila1 and Pruchaya Manhathao1 1School of Cosmetic Science, Mae Fah Luang University, Chiang Rai, Thailand *e-mail: [email protected] ______________________________________________________________________________ Abstract Hair color fading is a common problem in artificial hair colorants complained by both young and elderly consumers. One of the main reasons is the open of hair cuticles that allows color escaping out upon shampooing. To overcome color fading problem, the semi-permanent hair color conditioner was developed. The effect of semi-permanent hair color conditioner for maintenance of hair coloring were studied in this work. The experiment was carried out on red brown permanent dyed hair tresses with and without treatment of semi-permanent hair color conditioner. After shampooing for 50 times, the comparative efficiency of color maintenance between untreated and conditioner-treated groups was performed using colorimeter based on CIE L*, a*, b* color scale. The result showed that percent changes of a*- value and ∆E of conditioner-treated group were significantly lower than that of untreated group (p < 0.05). This indicated that semi-permanent hair color conditioner appears to be an effective product for the maintenance of hair coloring. ______________________________________________________________________________ Keywords : hair color fading; hair color maintenance; conditioner; hair dye; hair care Introduction : Color fading is a common problem in everyone who dyed their hair has a tendency to be found after doing artificial hair colorant (Morel and Christie 2011). The almost causes of off-shade fading may be simple to suffer in daily life unavoidably.
