INTRODUCTION Concepts of beauty are different amongst different cultures and civilizations. The objective of this study was to evaluate beauty perceptions through cosmetic advertisements in an effort to further appreciate beauty understanding amongst lay people in various parts of the world. To achieve these objectives, we reviewed cosmetics' advertisements to study whether the concept of beauty varies amongst different countries. MATERIALS AND METHODS We used the keywords "cosmetics" and "advertisements" in YouTube search engine in all existing languages in Google translator and came up with advertisements from 18 countries. The faces of the models were compared against Marquardt® beauty mask template in order to have a mean to objectively test symmetry with a mathematical computer model. The weak point of our study is that we can present no model photographs due to General Data Protection Regulation. RESULTS Advertisements retrieved in total were 257.

Yet, understanding how it works for climate change adaptation is nascent. This research aims to advance the understanding of this by a cross-case analysis of three cases in New Brunswick, Canada. We sought to illuminate the inner workings of multiparty collaboration in the context of community climate change adaptation; identify important qualities of the process and outcomes from it, and probe their relationships; and, explore how they come about in practice. A questionnaire was sent to individuals involved in cases and key informant interviews were conducted. Results reveal case-specific variations, but more importantly, common qualities and outcomes across the cases. They offer key insight into elements which may be important in collaborative settings. These are informative for influencing the uptake of collaborative strategies in climate change adaptation and offer the opportunity to better understand their functional effectiveness.Chronic pancreatitis is an inflammatory process of the pancreas characterized by progressive parenchyma destruction, resulting in pain and exocrine and endocrine insufficiency. In the advanced stages the diagnosis by imaging is usually straightforward, while in the early phases of the disease there can be a paucity of findings at imaging, thus making an early diagnosis challenging. Different imaging modalities can have a role in the initial diagnosis and in the longitudinal follow-up of patients affected by chronic pancreatitis, also enabling to assess the complications of the disease. Radiography, Ultrasonography, CT and MRI can all provide morphological information, and MRI with the administration of secretin can also provide functional information. The use of an appropriate technique is fundamental for optimizing the examination to the clinical question.The original version of this article, published on 10 February 2019, unfortunately contained a mistake. The axes of the graphs in Fig. 3 are incorrect. The correct figure is given below. Therefore, the last two sentences in "Results," section "Noise," should read "The peak frequency of the HR and SHR was 0.21 lp/mm. For the NR mode and the MDCT, the peak frequencies were 0.17 lp/mm and 0.21 lp/mm, respectively."The original version of this article, published on 27 May 2019, unfortunately contained mistakes.OBJECTIVES To explore the relationship between the imaging manifestations and clinical classification of COVID-19. METHODS We conducted a retrospective single-center study on patients with COVID-19 from Jan. 18, 2020 to Feb. 7, 2020 in Zhuhai, China. Patients were divided into 3 types based on Chinese guideline mild (patients with minimal symptoms and negative CT findings), common, and severe-critical (patients with positive CT findings and different extent of clinical manifestations). CT visual quantitative evaluation was based on summing up the acute lung inflammatory lesions involving each lobe, which was scored as 0 (0%), 1 (1-25%), 2 (26-50%), 3 (51-75%), or 4 (76-100%), respectively. The total severity score (TSS) was reached by summing the five lobe scores. check details The consistency of two observers was evaluated. The TSS was compared with the clinical classification. ROC was used to test the diagnosis ability of TSS for severe-critical type. RESULTS This study included 78 patients, 38 males and 40 females. Ther18 (95% CI 0.843-0.994). The TSS cutoff of 7.5 had 82.6% sensitivity and 100% specificity. • The proportion of confirmed COVID-19 patients with normal chest CT was relatively high (30.8%); CT was not a suitable screening modality.Clopidol is one of the most widely used anti-coccidiosis drugs. Its residues in poultry products and the environment pose a serious threat to human health. In this work, microwave-assisted synthesis of magnetic ionic liquid/gold nanoparticles (MIL-Au NPs) as the SERS substrates were first designed for sensitive and reliable determination of clopidol residue in egg samples. The experiment shows that MIL(1-methyl-3-hexyl imidazole ferric tetrachloride ([C6mim]FeCl4)) and microwave play a key role in the dispersion and morphology of Au NPs. Under the optimal conditions, the as-prepared MIL-Au NPs were applied to the SERS detection of clopidol in methanol and egg solution and its detection limits can be as low as to 0.5 μg/kg (equal to 0.5 ppb) in both solutions. The standard curves with regression coefficients of 0.9298 and 0.93496 were constructed in the linear range of 100-1000 ppb and 0.5-50 ppb for clopidol in egg solutions. Moreover, satisfactory recoveries (97.5-103.2%) were obtained for egg samples. The developed SERS method provides a way for quantitation of clopidol and can be applied for the convenient, reliable, and highly sensitive detection of antibiotic residues in food and environment, which has great potential in food safety and biological monitoring.
