Salicylic Acid; FDA Approved Skin Care Ingredient Used For Topical Treatment of Acne

Salicylic Acid
Salicylic Acid

Salicylic Acid belongs to a class of drugs known as salicylates. It can be produced naturally or synthetically. Salicylates are produced naturally from certain plants, while it can be produced synthetically by treating sodium phenolate, at high temperature and high pressure, with carbon dioxide to yield sodium salicylate, which is later acidified using sulfuric acid to yield salicylates. It is produced commercially via the Kolbe-Schmitt process. It is a white solid first isolated from the bark of willow trees (Salix spp.), from which it gets its name.

Fruits such as apples, blueberries, avocados, dates, peaches, kiwi fruit, raspberries, grapes, figs, plums, cherries, strawberries, prunes, and grapefruit contain Salicylic Acid. Vegetables such as alfalfa, mushrooms, broad beans, radishes, eggplant, zucchini, spinach, peppers, broccoli, and cauliflower contain salicylates. Broccoli, cucumber, mushrooms, spinach, radishes, zucchini and cauliflower all contain high amounts of salicylates. Vegetables from the nightshade family, like peppers and eggplant, also contain salicylates. Tomatoes are very high in salicylates.

Tomatoes contain salicylates, a beta hydroxyl acid which works as an effective remedy for treating acnes. Salicylic Acid Market is widely used as a medicine to help remove the outer layer of the skin. As such it is used to treat acne, skin tags, warts, calluses, dandruff, psoriasis, ichthyosis, and ringworm. For conditions other than warts, it is often used together with other medications. It is also used to manufacture aspirin and other personal care products. The acid is responsible for the anti-inflammatory action of aspirin.

Salicylic Acid topical is used to treat many skin disorders, depending on the dosage form and strength of the preparation. It is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved skin care ingredient used for the topical treatment of acne. Salicylates is best known for its ability to deeply clean excess oil out of pores and reduce oil production moving forward, making it a great option for oily skin.

Sarcopenia Treatment; Training and Physical Exercise Is Key to Counteract Sarcopenia

Image
Sarcopenia Treatment A primary Sarcopenia Treatment is exercise. Researchers have identified resistance training as the specific form of exercise that is most beneficial to individuals with sarcopenia. At present, resistance exercise, protein supplementation, and vitamin D have been established as the basic treatment of sarcopenia. Recent clinical trials on sarcopenia therapies such as physical exercise, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical interventions have revealed that exercise is the only effective strategy shown to alleviate sarcopenia. Sarcopenia refers to a loss of muscle mass specifically related to aging. It's normal to lose some muscle mass as people age. Sarcopenia has been defined as an age-related, involuntary loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength. Although aging is the main cause of sarcopenia, some other factors contribute to the loss of muscle mass. Getting little or no physical activity on a regular basis puts people at an increased risk of developing sarcopenia

Bioresorbable Implants Can Also Help To Prevent Complications And Speed Up The Recovery Process

Image
Bioresorbable Implants Medical implants, either passive for structural support or for diagnosis and therapy with active electronics, are widely used in surgical applications. Although they have shown long-term biocompatibility, their removal imposes physical, biological and economical burdens on patients. To overcome this drawback, implantable devices exhibiting biodegradation in the body have been developed. These implants disappear inside the body after a certain time of use, and can be replaced with natural bone. The resorption of Bioresorbable Implants is driven by hydrolysis of the bonds linking their monomers. The amorphous portions of the polymer degrade first, while the crystalline regions remain intact and provide most of their mechanical strength. The monomers are then broken down into lactic and glycolic acids, which are converted to pyruvate and then processed through the citric acid cycle into water and carbon dioxide. The Bioresorbable Implants Market was valued at US$
