Hygiene is a preventive measure taken to avoid contamination of milk, animals, humans and the system. This article explains which parameters are involved for cleaning the milking robot.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Ubuntu-light, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px;">For every cleaning session, the four parameters of the Sinner’s circle have to be taken into account:</p><ul style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Ubuntu-light, sans-serif; font-size: 17px;"><li style="box-sizing: inherit;">Time</li><li style="box-sizing: inherit;">Action&nbsp;</li><li style="box-sizing: inherit;">Chemicals&nbsp;</li><li style="box-sizing: inherit;">Temperature&nbsp; &nbsp;</li></ul><div><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Ubuntu-light, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px;">Lely has chosen a high cleaning temperature, a strong detergent and a suitable flow rate. With these the cleaning time can be reduced and the robot can go back to milking again quickly. We do not have a disinfectant in our detergents, so a temperature above 77 ℃ is extremely important to kill microorganisms in a short cleaning time. Due to heat cleaning, a high-quality product is necessary in order to prevent damage to our equipment. Furthermore, no chlorine, sulphuric or nitric acids are used in order to avoid corrosion. The robot cleaning is based on a flow-through principle, rather than circulation. We create mechanical strength by extraction from the flow rate of the fluids. That is why good water flow is really important.&nbsp;</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Ubuntu-light, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px;">In order to avoid any risk, it is necessary to clean with sufficient frequency: every 8 hours. It is worth checking the Lely T4C report ‘Milking – Milkings/Hour’ (see figure), to make sure you clean the robot at ‘quieter’ times during the day.<br style="box-sizing: inherit;" /></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Ubuntu-light, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px;">During cleaning, both <a href="https://lelylifestyles.com/">organic material </a>(such as fat/protein) and inorganic material (scale, lime, milkstone) need to be removed. Organic material provides nourishment for microorganisms which risk spoiling the milk. Inorganic material causes malfunctions in measuring, problems with valves, corrosion and provides shelter for microorganisms. Both sources of dirt require a different cleaning agent. This is why we clean twice a day with Lely Astri LIN (alkaline detergent = high pH) and once a day with Astri CID (Acid detergent = low pH).&nbsp;</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Ubuntu-light, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px;">Fat is one of the types of pollution we want to eradicate. However, fat is not removed simply by rinsing with water (think about doing the dishes). Surfactants are able to solve this problem: they make water and fat feel attracted to each other and lift the dirt to keep it flowing.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: Ubuntu-light, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px;">In conclusion, cleaning a robot is not that much different to doing the dishes. You need the right temperature, mechanical action, chemicals and time. The Lely cleaning cycle is developed in such a way as to maintain hygiene by cleaning three times a day in an efficient time span. We recommend using the Lely products that are specially designed for robot cleaning.&nbsp;</p></div></content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://anamariakyle.blogspot.com/feeds/7788956039042308278/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://anamariakyle.blogspot.com/2022/04/lely-astronaut-hygiene-good-automatic.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/1227515559188914660/posts/default/7788956039042308278'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/1227515559188914660/posts/default/7788956039042308278'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://anamariakyle.blogspot.com/2022/04/lely-astronaut-hygiene-good-automatic.html' title='Lely Astronaut hygiëne - good automatic cleaning cycles'/><author><name>Micah Costa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13392553755784934826</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1227515559188914660.post-104654549327884247</id><published>2022-04-27T01:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2022-04-27T01:09:27.470-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Techno-economic investigation of the potential for energy efficiency measures of multi-story apartment buildings at cluster level using different district heating tariffs</title><content type='html'><p>&nbsp;</p><h2 class="u-h3 u-margin-l-top u-margin-xs-bottom" id="st020111" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #505050; font-family: NexusSerif, Georgia, &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, STIXGeneral, &quot;Cambria Math&quot;, &quot;Lucida Sans Unicode&quot;, &quot;Microsoft Sans Serif&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Symbol&quot;, &quot;Arial Unicode MS&quot;, serif; font-size: 1.2rem !important; font-weight: 400 !important; line-height: 1.333 !important; margin-bottom: 8px !important; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 32px !important; padding: 0px;">1.&nbsp;Introduction</h2><p id="p0030" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #2e2e2e; font-family: NexusSerif, Georgia, &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, STIXGeneral, &quot;Cambria Math&quot;, &quot;Lucida Sans Unicode&quot;, &quot;Microsoft Sans Serif&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Symbol&quot;, &quot;Arial Unicode MS&quot;, serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 16px; padding: 0px;">Reducing the energy use of the building sector in the European Union plays a central role to achieve projected energy and climate goals. About 35% of the existing building stock is more than 50&nbsp;years old and roughly 75% is energy inefficient compared to today’s performance requirements.&nbsp;For this issue, a concept of cost-effectiveness has set energy performance requirements for existing buildings subject to major <a href="https://technorenovation.com/">renovations</a>, where at least a cost-optimal balance between investments involved and energy costs saved should be achieved throughout the life cycle of a building. To accelerate and scale up building renovations, the amended energy performance of buildings and energy efficiency directive address measures supporting investment activities and strengthening long-term strategies on national levels with identified cost-effective approaches relevant to building type.</p><p id="p0035" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #2e2e2e; font-family: NexusSerif, Georgia, &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, STIXGeneral, &quot;Cambria Math&quot;, &quot;Lucida Sans Unicode&quot;, &quot;Microsoft Sans Serif&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Symbol&quot;, &quot;Arial Unicode MS&quot;, serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 16px; padding: 0px;">Apartment buildings are significant segments of national residential building stocks. While new buildings’ energy use follows modern code requirements, older stock consists mainly of low-performance buildings, for instance, constructed in the 1960s and ’70s before the appearance of performance requirements and with unrealized potential for energy savings. Many of these buildings are characterized by standardized solutions with industrial prefabricated constructions including uniform block designs with horizontal lines of windows or balconies, multiple stories and dwellings, and produced in neighborhoods with the same type all over a country. Besides commonly used age and size classes to describe residential building stocks&nbsp;the characteristics and occurrence in neighborhoods also enables categories (or typologies) with regard to plan design of apartments&nbsp;or urban zones of cities&nbsp;.</p><p id="p0040" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #2e2e2e; font-family: NexusSerif, Georgia, &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, STIXGeneral, &quot;Cambria Math&quot;, &quot;Lucida Sans Unicode&quot;, &quot;Microsoft Sans Serif&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Symbol&quot;, &quot;Arial Unicode MS&quot;, serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 16px; padding: 0px;">District heating (DH) is the preferred energy carrier for apartment building stocks in many European countries with cold climate conditions&nbsp;. The concept of DH with heat distributed via a network of pipes to substations and final use in buildings (e.g., space heating) provides a variety of heat supply options, such as combined heat and power (CHP) plants, industrial heat supply, or heat-only boilers&nbsp;In Sweden, where the studied buildings are located, the apartment building stock used 27.7 TWh in 2016 for space heating and domestic hot water (DHW) and DH covered 91% of the energy use&nbsp;.DH is characterized by local system conditions&nbsp;and different price models with tariffs for fixed component and variable load and energy components</p><h2 class="u-h3 u-margin-l-top u-margin-xs-bottom" id="st025" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #505050; font-family: NexusSerif, Georgia, &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, STIXGeneral, &quot;Cambria Math&quot;, &quot;Lucida Sans Unicode&quot;, &quot;Microsoft Sans Serif&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Symbol&quot;, &quot;Arial Unicode MS&quot;, serif; font-size: 1.2rem !important; font-weight: 400 !important; line-height: 1.333 !important; margin-bottom: 8px !important; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 32px !important; padding: 0px;">2.&nbsp;Selection of buildings and studied cases</h2><div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #2e2e2e; font-family: NexusSerif, Georgia, &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, Times, STIXGeneral, &quot;Cambria Math&quot;, &quot;Lucida Sans Unicode&quot;, &quot;Microsoft Sans Serif&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Symbol&quot;, &quot;Arial Unicode MS&quot;, serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><p id="p0065" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 16px; padding: 0px;">The buildings used to investigate the techno-economic potential for EEMs were selected from the time period 1965–74, since it is assumed that these buildings will be renovated over the next ten-year period as part of Sweden’s national strategy for energy efficient renovation. Known as the “Million Homes” program, about one million dwellings were built during that time period using standardized solutions mainly in residential apartment buildings (66%)&nbsp;&nbsp;which today embody almost 20% of the existing Swedish dwelling stock. As shown&nbsp;the dominant building type with a proportion of about 85% was slab blocks constructed in various numbers of stories. More than half of the dwellings were built in three-story slab blocks and six to eight-story tower blocks (higher slab blocks). Since many of these new buildings were immediately connected to DH systems, the Million Homes program is emphasized as an important driving force for the expansion of DH in Sweden</p><p id="p0065" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 16px; padding: 0px;">Buildings were studied in the municipalities of Gävle and Sandviken with a population of over 130,000 inhabitants, located in Gävleborg County in east-central Sweden. Only climate data for Gävle (latitude 60.679, longitude 17.183) with an average annual external temperature of 5.8&nbsp;°C&nbsp;was considered for both municipalities, due to short geographical distance. Buildings were treated as overall building stock and clustered to facilitate decision-making regarding slab and tower blocks with various numbers of stories. It was assumed that existing buildings would undergo inevitable renovations, but not with focus on energy renovation to be able to study the full potential for EEMs.</p></div></content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://anamariakyle.blogspot.com/feeds/104654549327884247/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://anamariakyle.blogspot.com/2022/04/techno-economic-investigation-of.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/1227515559188914660/posts/default/104654549327884247'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/1227515559188914660/posts/default/104654549327884247'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://anamariakyle.blogspot.com/2022/04/techno-economic-investigation-of.html' title='Techno-economic investigation of the potential for energy efficiency measures of multi-story apartment buildings at cluster level using different district heating tariffs'/><author><name>Micah Costa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13392553755784934826</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1227515559188914660.post-9093479220006042526</id><published>2022-04-27T00:33:00.003-07:00</published><updated>2022-04-27T00:33:39.993-07:00</updated><title type='text'>9 Skin-Care Resolutions Dermatologists Want You to Make in 2022</title><content type='html'><p>&nbsp;<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: open-sans, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">The new year is the perfect time to check in with your skin-care routine and reassess how your habits may be helping (or harming) your skin.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: open-sans, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 20px 0px; outline: 0px;">That said, resolutions are easy to make on January 1, and more difficult to sustain throughout the year.

This will allow you to get some wins and feel the progress of your resolution. Additionally, when you hit these small milestones, you should celebrate with something tangible, like a medal, a gift, or some other form of victory lap. And don't punish yourself if you make a few mistakes, says the&nbsp;American Psychological Association:&nbsp;Health changes are incremental, and progress is the victory. Don’t beat yourself up over missteps, because they’re normal.</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: open-sans, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 20px 0px; outline: 0px;"><a href="https://beautytipshalk.com/">Long-term change</a> is not easy, but consistency is key — especially with skin care, says&nbsp;Heather Richmond, MD, a board-certified dermatologist with the&nbsp;Dermatology and Laser Surgery Center in Houston. Regular use of high quality skin care will make a huge difference over the long term, she says, but don’t expect results overnight, particularly when it comes to reducing signs of aging. Take retinoids, for example: They're known to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, according to&nbsp;Harvard Medical School, but it can take up to six months of regular use before you’ll see improvements. So any resolution you make now, plan to stick with for all of 2022 for the best results.</p><aside class="ad-wrapper ad-wrapper--audience ad-container inline-widget inline-widget--right-rail" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; float: none; font-family: open-sans, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; position: relative; z-index: 50;"><span id="adDivaudience1track" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px;"></span></aside><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: open-sans, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 20px; outline: 0px;">To that end, here are some skin-care resolutions that five board-certified dermatologists want you to commit to in 2022.<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; outline: 0px;"></span><em style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px;"></em></p><h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: mencken-std-text, serif; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.27; margin: 50px 0px 20px; outline: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px;">1.

Broad spectrum means the sunscreen will guard against the harmful effects of UVA rays, which contribute to premature skin aging, and UVB rays, which cause sunburn, per the&nbsp;Skin Cancer Foundation.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 20px 0px; outline: 0px;">If you’ve made it this far and believe you’re exempt because you aren’t outside in the winter months, think again — studies show even blue light generated from our computers and electronic devices has&nbsp;a negative impact on our skin. For example,&nbsp;one small study&nbsp;found that blue light exposure was linked with the production of free radicals, which are associated with premature skin aging.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 20px 0px; outline: 0px;">Not to mention that, as the&nbsp;Skin Cancer Foundation&nbsp;notes, UVA rays can even harm your skin through windows, as when you’re in a car or working indoors with natural light.</p><div id="adx_native_ad_110533" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 20px 0px; outline: 0px;"></div><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 20px 0px; outline: 0px;">“Sunscreen is now 24/7,” says Dr. Burgess.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 20px 0px; outline: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; outline: 0px;">RELATED:&nbsp;</span><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; outline: 0px;">Is Blue Light Harming Your Skin Health?</span></p><h2 style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-family: mencken-std-text, serif; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.27; margin: 50px 0px 20px; outline: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px;">2. Don’t Sleep in Your Makeup&nbsp;</span><span style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px;"></span></h2><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 20px 0px; outline: 0px;">Sleeping with makeup on can cause a host of skin issues, says Burgess, from clogged pores and breakouts to extreme lip dryness, and&nbsp;you risk severe damage to your eyes.&nbsp;“That’s a bad habit a lot of people have,” says Burgess.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 20px 0px; outline: 0px;">Luckily, this resolution is simple: Wash your face before your head hits the pillow. If you’re wearing oil-based concealer, you’ll need a solvent-based makeup removal — Burgess recommends foaming cleansers “which can emulsify most foundations and lipstick.” Be sure to use a gentle cleanser around the eyes however, as they are more sensitive.<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; outline: 0px;"></span></p><h2 style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-family: mencken-std-text, serif; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.27; margin: 50px 0px 20px; outline: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px;">3. Do&nbsp;</span><span style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px;">Winter-Proof Your Skin</span></h2><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 20px 0px; outline: 0px;">“Winter is perhaps the most challenging season for your skin,” says&nbsp;Joshua Zeichner, MD, an associate professor of dermatology and the director of cosmetic and clinical research in dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City. He recommends that people resolve to use additional skin-care products in the winter as cold weather, low humidity, and wind take a toll on the skin’s outer layer.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 20px 0px; outline: 0px;">Look for products that contain moisturizing humectants, like glycerin and&nbsp;ammonium lactate, because these ingredients can actually pull moisture to your skin, Burgess says. She recommends AmLactin ($15.99, Amazon.com) as one drugstore option that won’t break the bank. Or you can look for generic ammonium lactate, which usually costs less than $20 per bottle.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 20px 0px; outline: 0px;">You may also opt for a cream or an ointment, which tend to cohttp://me in tubes or tubs, rather than lotions, as the&nbsp;American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) recommends.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 20px 0px; outline: 0px;">Burgess recommends a&nbsp;HydraFacial, which can help restore moisture into your skin during winter months</p><h2 style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-family: mencken-std-text, serif; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.27; margin: 50px 0px 20px; outline: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px;">4. Don’t Use Indoor Tanning Beds</span></h2><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 20px 0px; outline: 0px;">Even though&nbsp;research has shown that&nbsp;indoor tanning significantly increases the&nbsp;risk of melanoma,&nbsp;the AAD estimates&nbsp;that about 7.8 million American adults still engaged in tanning bed use as recently as 2015. Those numbers are declining from their peak, but the United States has not moved to ban tanning beds as Brazil and Australia have, notes the&nbsp;Skin Cancer Foundation.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 20px 0px; outline: 0px;">Dr. Richmond and Dr. Turegano both say indoor tanning is a huge no-no, and Turegano hopes to see tanning beds made illegal in 2022.</p><h2 style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-family: mencken-std-text, serif; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.27; margin: 50px 0px 20px; outline: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px;">5. Do T</span><span style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px;">hrow Out Expired or Unused Products</span></h2><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 20px 0px; outline: 0px;">Many people use the new year as a time to declutter their homes — and if your skin-care shelf is out of control, it might be time to cut down.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 20px 0px; outline: 0px;">Turegano can sympathize: “I like to try as many products as I can to see if they are worth recommending, but my bathroom closet has turned into a junkyard with numerous half-filled containers of skin care — many of which are probably expired. It makes skin care seem overwhelming.”</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 20px 0px; outline: 0px;">Her personal skin-care resolution for 2022 is to streamline and organize her skin-care products, and she plans to use the&nbsp;KonMari method&nbsp;to edit and categorize her items.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 20px 0px; outline: 0px;">Not sure where to start? Check the expiration dates on all your skin-care products, and commit to tossing anything that’s past its use-by date. Also ditch anything that is irritating to your skin. Then try to streamline further, says Turegano. “If you have two hyaluronic acid products, you probably don’t need both of them. In terms of deciding what to ditch, if you have the same type of product, look for one that might carry a higher percentage of the active ingredient.”</p><h2 style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-family: mencken-std-text, serif; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.27; margin: 50px 0px 20px; outline: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px;">6. Don’t Pick Your Skin When You’re Stressed</span></h2><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 20px 0px; outline: 0px;">Skin picking can cause infection and scarring, and it’s one habit that Turegano wants to see people break in the new year. While she notes that many people pick their skin for&nbsp;stress relief, Turegano suggests people resolve to find other stress-relieving alternatives to skin picking in 2022, such as popping bubble wrap,&nbsp;aerobic exercise, and getting facials — which are recommended by the&nbsp;TLC Foundation for Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 20px 0px; outline: 0px;">That said, in some cases, skin picking is a clinical impulse control disorder, according to the&nbsp;International OCD Foundation. They note that up to 1 in 20 people live with this condition — and according to a&nbsp;survey published in March 2021 by the&nbsp;<em style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px;">Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology</em>, skin picking increased among this group during the&nbsp;COVID-19 pandemic. If this is the case for you, guidance from a mental health practitioner may be helpful. Cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and selective&nbsp;serotonin&nbsp;uptake inhibitors (SSRIs) may help treat skin-picking disorders, per the International&nbsp;OCD&nbsp;Foundation.</p><h2 style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-family: mencken-std-text, serif; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.27; margin: 50px 0px 20px; outline: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px;">7. Do Keep Your Routine Simple and Consistent</span></h2><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 20px 0px; outline: 0px;">“I’d like to see simpler skin-care routines in 2022 and have people ditch their multistep regimens,” says Dr. Zeichner. “More is not better and can just lead to irritation. Overscrubbing, overexfoliating, and over-applying products is not necessarily any better than sticking to a simple, effective skin-care routine.”</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 20px 0px; outline: 0px;">Turegano says a good rule of thumb is to stick to three simple products that will make a difference: a sunscreen, a cleanser, and a moisturizer.</p><cnx class="cnx-main-container cnx-in-desktop cnx-ps cnx-main-container-flex" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);

margin: 20px 0px; outline: 0px;">The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved CoolSculpting for use in 2010, and in 2019 it was the fourth most popular noninvasive cosmetic procedure in the United States.<p class="view-sources" style="box-sizing: border-box;

outline: 0px;"><div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 20px 0px; outline: 0px;">Cryolipolysis is the process of using cold temperatures to destroy fat cells just below the surface of the skin. (The clue is in the name: “cryo” means cold, “lipo” means fat, and “lysis” means “destruction.”)</div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 20px 0px; outline: 0px;">Although the term “CoolSculpting” is often used to refer to the process of cryolipolysis, it’s actually the brand name of a specific medical device used to achieve cryolipolysis. The procedure is usually carried out by a doctor, a nurse, or a physician assistant, though some medical spa professionals can also perform CoolSculpting. Check your state’s medical board for more information on who’s qualified to carry out the procedure.</div></div></section></div></div></div></div></div><div class="eh-widget eh-widget--cb" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: open-sans, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 40px; margin-top: 0px; outline: 0px; width: 715px;"><div class="container-fluid" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 1200px; outline: 0px; padding-left: 24px; padding-right: 24px; position: relative;"><div class="row" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-left: -12px; margin-right: -12px; outline: 0px;"><div class="col" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px; padding-left: 12px; padding-right: 12px;"><div data-hypernova-id="38dad69c-a457-4be1-90d6-e0538c11d581" data-hypernova-key="evdyconsumercomponentreactcontentblock" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px;"><section class="eh-content-block" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px;"><div class="eh-section-anchor" id="how-it-works" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px; position: relative; top: -55px; visibility: hidden;"></div><div class="eh-section-title eh-section-title--default eh-section-title--nested" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px auto 40px; outline: 0px;"><h2 class="eh-section-title__heading" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-family: mencken-std-text, serif; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.27; margin: 0px 0px 20px; outline: 0px;">How Does CoolSculpting Work?</h2></div><div class="eh-content-block__content" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px;"><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 20px; outline: 0px;">In the procedure, a technician will apply gel pads to the targeted areas and then pass over them with the device. They may also use an applicator cup with a vacuum to draw tissue into the cup.</p><div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 20px 0px; outline: 0px;">In either case, the goal is to apply low temperatures to specific areas of the body to kill fat cells, thereby changing the shape of the body.&nbsp;CoolSculpting relies on the same basic science as other fat reduction procedures like liposuction, various&nbsp;heat&nbsp;and sound-wave treatments (such as&nbsp;SculpSure&nbsp;and&nbsp;TruSculpt), and chemical treatments (such as&nbsp;Kybella).</div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 20px 0px; outline: 0px;">The dead fat cells don't necessarily disappear overnight. It may take up to six months for the body to fully process and eliminate dead fat cells after the procedure, according to the CoolSculpting manufacturer.</div></div></section></div></div></div></div></div><div class="eh-widget eh-widget--cb" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: open-sans, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 40px; margin-top: 0px; outline: 0px; width: 715px;"><div class="container-fluid" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 1200px; outline: 0px; padding-left: 24px; padding-right: 24px; position: relative;"><div class="row" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-left: -12px; margin-right: -12px; outline: 0px;"><div class="col" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px; padding-left: 12px; padding-right: 12px;"><div data-hypernova-id="61fef66e-f8bc-4b61-bf97-5524c940d3e3" data-hypernova-key="evdyconsumercomponentreactcontentblock" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px;"><section class="eh-content-block" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px;"><div class="eh-section-anchor" id="whom-its-for" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px; position: relative; top: -55px; visibility: hidden;"></div><div class="eh-section-title eh-section-title--default eh-section-title--nested" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px auto 40px; outline: 0px;"><h2 class="eh-section-title__heading" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-family: mencken-std-text, serif; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.27; margin: 0px 0px 20px; outline: 0px;">Who Might Consider CoolSculpting?</h2></div><div class="eh-content-block__content" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px;"><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 20px; outline: 0px;">All humans are born with a fixed number of fat cells, says&nbsp;Alan Matarasso, MD, a clinical professor of surgery at the&nbsp;Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra Northwell&nbsp;in Hempstead, New York.&nbsp;After our teen years, the cells shrink or swell as we gain or lose weight. With procedures like CoolSculpting, the goal is to reverse those effects of time on the body.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 20px 0px; outline: 0px;">At the same time, CoolSculpting is a strictly <a href="https://beautytipshalk.com/">cosmetic</a> procedure and isn't effective as a means of weight loss, says&nbsp;Joshua Zeichner, MD, the director of cosmetic and clinical research in the dermatology department at Mount Sinai Hospital’s Department of Dermatology in New York City. Because the cold temperatures delivered by the device penetrate only the upper layers of fat below the skin, the procedure is best used to eliminate small areas of stubborn fat. CoolSculpting can't change a person's overall body composition.</p><aside class="ad-wrapper ad-wrapper--audience ad-container inline-widget inline-widget--right-rail" style="box-sizing: border-box; float: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; position: relative; z-index: 50;"><span id="adDivaudience1track" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px;"></span></aside><div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 20px 0px; outline: 0px;">“It's important to think of CoolSculpting as a fat reduction treatment rather than a weight reduction treatment,” Dr. Zeichner says. “It is not effective for people who have visceral fat, which is fat around the organs.” Visceral fat is linked to&nbsp;high cholesterol,&nbsp;insulin resistance, cardiovascular disease, and breast cancer.But CoolSculpting mainly targets subcutaneous fat, which tends to be located on the lower half of the body and is “pinchable.”</div><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px;">CoolSculpting may be a good option for people who want to reduce subcutaneous fat in a specific area, and for whom surgery might be too risky (for example, organ transplant recipients), says Dr. Matarasso. But it can't remove as much fat as surgical options like liposuction, and it won't remove excess skin that may develop after childbirth or significant weight loss. Excess skin requires surgical removal, Matarasso says.</p></div></section></div></div></div></div></div><div class="eh-widget eh-widget--cb" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: open-sans, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 40px; margin-top: 0px; outline: 0px; width: 715px;"><div class="container-fluid" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 1200px; outline: 0px; padding-left: 24px; padding-right: 24px; position: relative;"><div class="row" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-left: -12px; margin-right: -12px; outline: 0px;"><div class="col" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px; padding-left: 12px; padding-right: 12px;"><div data-hypernova-id="f288954c-6007-4487-bd31-53c3275be79f" data-hypernova-key="evdyconsumercomponentreactcontentblock" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px;"><section class="eh-content-block" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px;"><div class="eh-section-anchor" id="side-effects" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px; position: relative; top: -55px; visibility: hidden;"></div><div class="eh-section-title eh-section-title--default eh-section-title--nested" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px auto 40px; outline: 0px;"><h2 class="eh-section-title__heading" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-family: mencken-std-text, serif; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1.27; margin: 0px 0px 20px; outline: 0px;">What Are the Potential Side Effects of CoolSculpting?</h2></div><div class="eh-content-block__content" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px;"><div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 20px 0px; outline: 0px;">CoolSculpting is generally a safe, low-risk procedure.Common side effects are usually mild, and may include pain or decreased sensation in the targeted area. Some people may feel faint, nauseated, or dizzy during the procedure, or may develop a&nbsp;rash, swelling, or other discoloration afterward. But these side effects typically resolve on their own in the weeks following the procedure, Zeichner says.</div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 20px 0px; outline: 0px;">In some cases, the procedure may result in irregular divots or ripples in the skin, Matarasso says. But this isn’t a common side effect — one review suggested this happened in 0.14 percent of procedures.</div><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 20px 0px; outline: 0px;">CoolSculpting can be unpredictable, Matarasso adds, noting that the person undergoing the procedure may be disappointed if their results aren’t what they expected.</p><h3 style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-family: mencken-std-text, serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.35; margin: 30px 0px 20px; outline: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px;">What Is Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia?</span></h3><div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 20px 0px; outline: 0px;">PAH, the side effect that Evangelista reported, is the best-known moderate-to-severe potential side effect of CoolSculpting, though research has not yet determined what causes it. It occurs when CoolSculpting triggers an increase, rather than a decrease, in fat cells in the targeted area. Over the course of several months following the CoolSculpting treatment, PAH causes new tissue to grow in the shape of the treated area. The new tissue is usually harder than normal fat, and may have an almost rubbery texture, Matarasso says. Blood flow to the affected area may also increase. In some cases, new fat growth can't be removed using liposuction, Matarasso says, and the patient must choose between having the new tissue surgically removed or leaving it in place.</div><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 20px 0px; outline: 0px;">“This is terrible, because they had someone who wanted a minimally invasive procedure,” he says, “and then they end up with a big scar.”</p><div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 20px 0px; outline: 0px;">The amount of data available about the people who develop PAH is limited, Matarasso says. He adds that this is partly because the procedure is not always performed by doctors, who are required to report negative outcomes.</div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 20px 0px; outline: 0px;">One clinical report suggested PAH may be underreported; the authors noted that the incidence rate of PAH at their practice was significantly higher (2 in 422, or 0.47 percent) than the incidence rate claimed by the CoolSculpting brand (1 in 20,000).</div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 20px 0px; outline: 0px;">PAH may be slightly more common in males than in females, though the reason is unclear.<p class="view-sources" style="box-sizing: border-box; display: inline-block; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; position: relative;"><button class="view-sources__arrow" style="appearance: button; background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-color: initial; border-style: initial; border-width: 0px; cursor: pointer; font: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px;" type="button"><picture class="eh-image in-text-citation__lightbox-arrow eh-image--nosize eh-image--js" style="aspect-ratio: 16 / 9; box-sizing: border-box; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; z-index: 1;"><img alt="right up arrow" class="eh-image__img" data-src="" height="auto" src="https://images.everydayhealth.com/react-component-images/right-up-arrow.svg?w=50" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; height: auto; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; vertical-align: middle;" width="auto" /></picture></button></p></div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 20px 0px; outline: 0px;">The study also noted that the incidence of PAH was 75 percent lower when technicians used newer-model CoolSculpting units, suggesting that the machines themselves may be a contributing factor to the risk of PAH.</div></div></section></div></div></div></div></div></div></content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://anamariakyle.blogspot.com/feeds/1106254595349909518/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://anamariakyle.blogspot.com/2022/04/what-is-coolsculpting-and-is-it-safe.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/1227515559188914660/posts/default/1106254595349909518'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/1227515559188914660/posts/default/1106254595349909518'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://anamariakyle.blogspot.com/2022/04/what-is-coolsculpting-and-is-it-safe.html' title='What Is CoolSculpting, and Is It Safe for Weight Loss?

This corresponds to about 15% of the world's population, with up to 190 million (3.8%) people aged 15 years and older having significant difficulties in functioning, often requiring health care services. The number of people experiencing disability is increasing due to a rise in chronic health conditions and population ageing. Disability is a human rights issue, with people with disability being subject to multiple violations of their rights, including acts of violence, abuse, prejudice and disrespect because of their disability, which intersects with other forms of discrimination based on age and gender, among other factors. People with disability also face barriers, stigmatization and discrimination when accessing health and health-related services and strategies. Disability is a development priority because of its higher prevalence in lower-income countries and because disability and poverty reinforce and perpetuate one another.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #3c4245; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 24px;">Disability is extremely diverse. While some health conditions associated with disability result in poor health and extensive health care needs, others do not. However, all people with disability have the same general health care needs as everyone else, and therefore need access to mainstream health care services.&nbsp;Article 25 of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD)&nbsp;reinforces the right of persons with disability to attain the highest standard of health, without discrimination. However, the reality is that few countries provide adequate quality services for people with disability.</p><h2 style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #3c4245; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 25px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 28px;">Barriers to healthcare</h2><p style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #3c4245; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 24px;">People with disability encounter a range of barriers when they attempt to access health care including:</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #3c4245; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 24px;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Attitudinal barriers</strong></p><ul style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #3c4245; float: inherit; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; padding-left: 20px; width: 672.766px;"><li style="box-sizing: border-box;">People with disability commonly report experiences of prejudice, stigma and discrimination by health service providers and other staff at health facilities.</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;">Many service providers have limited knowledge and understanding of the rights of people with disability and their health needs and have inadequate training and professional development about disability.</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;">Many health services do not have policies in place to accommodate the needs of people with disability. Such policies could include allowing longer and flexible appointment times, providing outreach services and reducing costs for people with disability.</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;">Women with disability face particular barriers to sexual and reproductive health services and information. Health workers often make the inaccurate assumption that women with disability are asexual or are unfit to be mothers.</li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><a href="https://thedisabilitydoc.com/">People with disability</a> are rarely asked for their opinion or involved in decision-making about the provision of health services to people with disability.</li></ul></content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://anamariakyle.blogspot.com/feeds/3223891769927560863/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://anamariakyle.blogspot.com/2022/04/disability-and-health.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/1227515559188914660/posts/default/3223891769927560863'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/1227515559188914660/posts/default/3223891769927560863'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://anamariakyle.blogspot.com/2022/04/disability-and-health.html' title='Disability and health'/><author><name>Micah Costa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13392553755784934826</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1227515559188914660.post-7286413805690739627</id><published>2022-04-27T00:01:00.008-07:00</published><updated>2022-04-27T00:01:53.210-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Women's health-focused startup Alpha Medical launches diabetes care program</title><content type='html'><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: fira-sans, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Depending on diagnosis and a personalized care plan, the service could include online prescription of medications including insulin, access to a continuous glucose monitor, lab referrals and dietician support.&nbsp;</span></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: fira-sans, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.4; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-608f6486-7fff-d242-13db-6e2b3c83e7c0" style="box-sizing: border-box;">"At Alpha Medical, it is our ongoing mission to help women take control of their health and to provide them with the medical resources and tools needed to treat chronic conditions like diabetes," cofounder and CEO Gloria Lau said in a statement.
