Age-related changes in the face - at all times were not a desirable phenomenon in socially active and successful people. In modern society, success is primarily identified with an attractive appearance and a healthy lifestyle. Healthy lifestyle is actively promoted in mass media, this message has many followers all over the world. The most striking manifestations of age-related changes are concentrated in the lower third of the face and submental area, which is manifested in violation of the contours of the jaw line, as well as in the smoothing of the cervical - chin angle. In some genetic features, such as micrognathia, these changes lead to the visual perception of the face less young than it actually is, even without obvious manifestations in other areas of the face. We have developed and put into practice a minimally invasive method for correcting the lower third of the face and the submental area, using laser-assisted liposuction, with various degrees of age-related changes. Which allows you to effectively deal with this problem.

GalynaViktorovnaKhrushch plastic surgeon, maxillofacial surgeon, international candidat ASPS, Periorbital area is worthily considered as one of the most complicated regions in terms of correction of the age-related changes using injection techniques of medical aesthetics. According to the classification of I.I. Kolgunenko Russian (1974), tired morph type of age-related changes which is the most physiological type of aging, incorporates changes mainly focused in the middle third of the face, including in the periorbital area. These changes include the formation of grooves (tear trough, palpebromalar groove, nasojugal groove) (Figure 1), dark under-eye circles, mimic wrinkles formation, fat compartment displacement, change in mimic muscle tone, stretching of ligamentous structures, overhang of the upper eyelid.

BACKGROUND: In the literature, there are no scientifically based studies on the use of combination therapy using radio wave lifting and autologous platelet-rich plasma for the correction of involutional changes in the skin of the lower third of the face. AIMS: To determine the effect of complex therapy of involutional changes in the skin of the lower third of the face with minimally invasive radio wave lifting using a cannula electrode and platelet-rich autoplasma using non-invasive diagnostic methods. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Examination and treatment of 55 healthy women of Slavic appearance with involutional changes in the skin of the lower third of the face were carried out. Group № 1 patients received radio wave lifting therapy (n=28) and group № 2 patients received combined therapy with radio wave lifting and autologous platelet-rich plasma (n=27). The study was conducted from January 2020 to December 2020. To assess the condition of the skin, laser Doppler flowmetry, ultrasound sonography, and elastometry were used before and after the study. Clinical manifestations were assessed by an anthropometric method. RESULTS: The most pronounced changes were observed in the group where the combined method of radio wave lifting therapy with autologous platelet-rich plasma was used. The change in microcirculation was of a multidirectional nature, however, the average values were in the range of 8.8668.89 pf units, which is the normalization of trophic processes in tissues (p 0.05). When analyzing the conduct of ultrasound sonography, statistically significant thickening of the epidermis and dermis was noted, however, in patients of the second group, the thickening was more pronounced (p 0.0005). The change in the echogenicity of the dermis was of a multidirectional nature; by the end of treatment, the mean values were in the range of 10.511.3 units, which, apparently, indicates a more homogeneous structure of the dermis (p 0.05). Anthropometric indices (measurement of ptosis of the lower cheeks) decreased in both groups, which is related to skin lifting as a result of treatment (p 0.0005). The amplitude of tissue upward mobility decreased in both groups (p 0.0005). The amplitude of downward movement of tissues after therapy was of a multidirectional nature in both groups, which is possibly associated with the density of the dermis and indicates the normalization of collagen and elastin fibers (p 0.05). Elastometry indices (F0, R4, R6, R8) decreased, R2 increased in both groups, however, the dynamics was more pronounced in the second group (p 0.0005). CONCLUSIONS: Minimally invasive radio wave lifting in combination using a channel electrode with autologous platelet-rich plasma is an effective and safe method of treating age-related changes in the skin of the lower third of the face.

In the UK, around 250 000 people are living with both sight loss and dementia ( Bowen et al, 2016 ). People with dementia are more likely to experience sight loss than people of their age who do not have dementia. Dementia affects the ability to understand and relate to the world and sight loss has a huge impact on the ability of the person with dementia. This article examines normal age-related eye changes and eye disease. It outlines ways to compensate for age-related changes and how to detect and treat eye disease.

All areas and tissues of the face will go through age-related changes; however, aging occurs at a faster rate in the lower third of the face than in other areas. This study presents the anatomical and physiological aspects of age-related changes in all areas and tissues of the face, mainly in the lower third, such as the skin, subcutaneous fat, muscular-aponeurotic system, deep layers of adipose tissue, and bone structures of the face. Involutional changes were differentiated by taking into account the constitutional and architectonic features of the face. Heterochronous and heterotopic characteristics of age-related changes, cutaneous, and treatment components of facial aging were identified. The most commonly used visual scales to assess cosmetic effects and determine chronological aging included global aesthetic improvement scale, Glogau scale, Fitzpatrick wrinkle classification, and Merz visual 5-point aging scale. According to the classification of age-related changes proposed by Kolgunenko, five morphotypes of aging are distinguished: tired, wrinkled, deformation, mixed, and muscular. Understanding the pathogenesis of involutional changes in the lower third of the face in patients with different morphotypes of aging allows for an objective and individualized choice of optimal therapy methods.

The article highlights the problem of increasing the number of the elderly people and, as a consequence, the problem of ensuring vigorous activity and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The authors of the article determine the potential of recreational activities for solving the social and psychological problems of the elderly. The article discusses the main definitions of the concepts of «recreation», «recreational activity», the characteristics of the socio-psychological characteristics. The article presents the results of an empirical study, during which the emotional state of the elderly, their sociopsychological adaptation and readiness to accept age-related changes were diagnosed. In addition, the article describes the results of the implemented program for organizing recreational activities with the elderly.

ABSTRACTHemoglobin E (HbE) is estimated to affect at least one million people around the world. Carrier frequency of hemoglobin E/β-thalassemia (HbE/β-thalassemia) is highest in Southeast Asia, reaching as high as 60% in parts of Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia. In the Indian subcontinent, highest frequency is observed in The Northeast regions, but relatively rare in rest of the country. Increasing migration of population from highly affected areas is resulting in rising prevalence in The South and other parts of India. HbE/β-thalassemia is characterized by marked clinical diversity, phenotypic instability, and age-related changes in adaptation to anemia. This paper reports a case of HbE disease in an adult immigrant from Assam and documents the difficulties encountered in the definitive subtyping of HbE hemoglobinopathy. Distinguishing between homozygous HbE disease and HbE/β-thalassemia is a challenge to hematopathologist as both are clinically and hematologically similar.

The elevation of Science and scientific knowledge above other disciplines and knowledge all over the world is not without reason or justification. Science has made life easier for people. It has reduced the level of superstition. Above all, it has made the world a global village. However, it has come with its own challenges. In a world dominated by science and technology, can Philosophy, an arts discipline, play major roles in the development of a nation? Is Philosophy still relevant in the development of a modern society? These and other related questions are answered in the affirmative in this paper. The paper argues that Philosophy has crucial roles to play in the development of a nation. Therefore, whatever science must have achieved should be complimented with the values inherent in philosophy that this paper examines. The methodology Adopted Is A Critical Analysis.
