Abstract

In an attempt to overcome the physiological and visible signs of facial aging, scientists and formulators diligently work to elucidate strategies for its intervention. It has been demonstrated that the natural slowing in the production of endogenous glycosaminoglycans, hyaluronic acid (HA) in particular, leads to an acceleration in cutaneous aging [1]. Additionally, the normal stratum corneum or barrier function that is key to proper moisture retention tends to worsen with age in some ethnic groups [2-6]. Hyaluronic acid is one of the naturally occurring glycosaminoglycans in human skin that shows an impressive ability to bind to and hold 1000 times its weight in moisture within the skin [7]. It is therefore a logical strategy to develop products to deliver essential hyaluronic acid into the skin to mitigate the negative effects of a loss of HA in dry and aging skin. The PCA SKIN Hyaluronic Acid Overnight Mask, a combination of HA of varying molecular weights, was tested for efficacy in-vivo for both immediate and eight hours moisture increase in human skin.

Exporter of Reprints (Printed Material)

  What is Reprints? Reprints generally refer to copies of a previously published work. The meaning can vary slightly depending on the context: In Publishing (Books, Journals, Articles): • Reprints are additional printed copies of an article or book that has already been published. • Authors often request reprints of their scientific or medical journal articles to distribute to colleagues, conferences, or patients. • Book reprints are new print runs of a previously released edition, often without changes. Example • A doctor publishes a case report in a journal and requests 500 reprints to distribute at a medical conference. • A publisher prints a second batch of an already released novel — that’s a reprint. Use of Reprints Published article hard copy and reprints may be used to display the potential of the article at interviews, conferences, distribution to colleagues, seminars and other promotional activities, etc. Exporter of Reprints (Printed Material) We are an ex...

Totally Implanted Venous Catheter: What Can Go Wrong? Clin Image Case Rep J. 2025; 7(5): 569. Abstract A 50-year-old woman with a BRCA1 mutation was diagnosed with triple-negative carcinoma of the left breast in 2022. To initiate neoadjuvant chemotherapy, a totally implanted subclavian catheter was inserted. After three months of use, it developed a thrombosis and had to be removed. A second catheter was then inserted into the left brachial vein. Immediately after placement, t...
