...wonder why Melanie Griffith wasn't considered a worthy subject. After all, everyone thinks she's just the epitome of a blond but no one ever really bothers to see her movies or read her interviews to find out what's really going on underneath all that frizz and collagen. So I come across this quote the other day from our darling Mel G: "I always wanted to go back to school, you know to major in something like philosophy. Do they have that? You know, like majors in, like you know, philosophy?" I change my mind. No need...
Carbon dioxide, or CO2, lasers have been widely used since 1994 to bloodlessly eradicate wrinkles and sun damage by vaporizing the upper layer of skin, thus stimulating the underlying collagen fibers to rejuvenate the skin. Some 170,000 people had laser resurfacing done last year, making it by far the most popular laser procedure. Though chemical peels do essentially the same thing--and cost less than the average $2,500 to $3,000 for laser resurfacing--lasers have the advantage of being more controllable, since chemicals are absorbed at different rates by different skin...
...principal trouble spots are the shock-absorbing disks between the vertebrae and the facet joints, at the back of each vertebrae, that act as brakes to rotation. Each disk is a round ligament, made up of an annulus, which is like a multilayered collagen basket that absorbs rotational stress, and a lighter-density liquid nucleus that absorbs compression. The layers of the annulus are woven for maximum absorption. But it doesn't take much to tear this basket. "You can tear the annulus with no more than 3[degrees] of sudden loaded rotation," Watkins says. "If the disk ruptures into...
...tortured to death by that creep Verger? For long, long stretches in the middle of the novel, Harris himself seems to be of two minds on that very question. Employing his virtuosity as an orchestrator of suspense, the author puts Lecter, his facial appearance altered by collagen injections, in Florence, Italy, speaking impeccable Italian and lecturing to scholars on the works of Dante. Verger's network of spies has spotted Lecter there and set a trap that he cannot possibly escape. Guess what happens...
Endostain, a protein derived from the common body protein collagen, prevents the growth of small capillaries that nourish cell growth .If fights cancer by cutting off the blood supply to tumors, stopping growth of new cancerous cells. The same technique of cutting of the capillary blood supply has now been shown to reduce the accumulation of palques, fatty tissue like cholesteerol which builds up and blocks blood flow in the arteries and leads to heart disease...
