  • 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.

  • Was the Singular Basis Upon Which Were Countless Wars Fought
    May 15, 2001 What substance, worth its weight in gold (and then some), was the singular basis upon which were countless wars fought, economies catapulted and lives lost? No, the answer isn't cocaine, but an entirely different cash crop—murex purple. Used to dye the clothing of the royal and religious, murex purple has a special place in the history of dress. Sources of Purple Dye In order to understand why a particular color of clothing would have conveyed such prestige it is necessary to learn a little bit about the history of this particular dye. At one time, dyes, such as purple, scarlet, yellow and indigo were made from natural plant, animal and mineral products. The products were often dried, pulverized and then mixed with liquids in order to form dyes for clothing and other textiles. (Today, many dyes for clothing are made synthetically in laboratories, through chemical processes involving products such as aniline.) The purple dye used in ancient religious and royal robes most likely came from one of several types of shellfish: a) Murex brandaris, b) Murex trunculus, c) Helix ianthina, d) Purpura lapillus, or perhaps e) Purpura haemastoma. One legend suggests that the dye was discovered by Helen of Troy, who when strolling along the beach to pass the time while in captivity, noticed that her dog had chewed into a large shellfish and its mouth had become purple as a result (Jensen 1963: 106). The two chief sources for this purple dye are Murex trunculus and Murex brandaris, and the shades of dye produced these sources can range from bright red, to blue, and to deep, almost black, purple.

  • Features of Colors Selection in a Design of Children's Clothing
    International Scientific and Practical Conference Topical Issues of Modern Design ____________________________________________________________________ УДК 687:016 FEATURES OF COLORS SELECTION IN A DESIGN OF CHILDREN'S CLOTHING TYMICKA Monika, BOHOMAZIUK Tetyana Wyższa Szkoła Umiejętności Społecznych, Poznan, Poland The principles of the use of colors in a design of children's clothing are defined. Based on the conducted research, the influence of colors on child is determined and the recommendations on the choice of colors that have a positive effect on child`s psychological state are provided. Key words: range of colors, design, children`s clothing, psychology of perception. INTRODUCTION Since ancient times, color was a strong, but at the same time imperceptible force that determined the human behavior. Scientist from different fields of science called color in different ways, highlighting the psychological and physiological components of the color influence. Such components are related to emotions, mood, and feelings of a person. In an early childhood, a person begins to understand the meaning of color in clothing. The importance of the influence of color of clothing on human psychology is hard to overestimate, and if a child can only instinctively express his/her pleasure (or dissatisfaction) with a certain shade, then adults consciously notice the influence of color on energy and emotional potential, mood and even health. An important conclusion, to which the psychologists have come a long time ago, is that color, chosen by person in his/her clothing, reflects the psychological essence of the personality, his/her mood and defines (or explains) the motives of his/her behavior. PROBLEM DEFINITION The aim of the research is to study the influence of the range of colors in clothing for child, to analyze colors and their perception by child from the psychological point of view.

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.

  • Chakra Healing by Color Clothing
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND Special Issue 1 CULTURAL STUDIES ISSN 2356-5926 February 2016 Chakra healing by color clothing Mostafa Rostami Assistant Professor, Faculty of Arts and Architecture at the University of Mazandaran Mahdieh Jaami Art research graduate student at Marlik Higher Education Institute Abstract Chakra centers attract vital energy. They are responsible for regulating endocrine glands. In case of balance, an active chakra keeps a person in his best physical and psychological conditions while in case of imbalances it caused mental illnesses, which subsequently affects his body. Chakra which is imbalance reaches the balance due to the proper color. The color in the form of clothes is easily absorbed and gets balanced because of direct contact with the skin. The qualitative and reasonable use of color in clothing is naturally more effective than visual method, as clothing affects more organs in color-therapy. This study which is a descriptive one aimed to investigate any psychological and physical disorder in case of wrong choice of clothing color. It also attempted to identify a prominent negative attribute in a person in order to introduce a proper clothing color which controls or neutralizes an annoying attribute. The results indicate that a right choice and use of color in clothing strengthens the positive attributes and flourishes natural genuine potential of a human. This knowledge is a self-scrutiny method, as a person gets familiar with his own positive and negative features honestly while the main principle of honesty is acceptance and the self superiority of the person.
