Dermabrasion: Dermabrasion is a replenishing technique that removes the outer layers of the skin surgically and in a controlled manner. Apart from enhancing the skin beauty and fightingsigns of ageing it is used in variety of conditions like acne scars, scars from accidents and sometime to remove precancerous growths called keratoses. Cytology: Cytology (“cyto” meaning cell and “logy” meaning study of) is the branch of science that deals with the structure, function, histology and chemistry of cells. It also deals with the interaction of cells with other similar or dissimilar cells by various biochemical and neural mechanisms. Microscopic and histologic studies of cell have wide spreading application in fields such as medicine, physiology, histology, diagnoses, genetics and molecular biology to name a few.Fibrosis: When the tissues of the body suffers from injury or damage the immune system is stimulated and immune cells such as cytokines, chemokines and growth factors are released for tissue repairing. These chemical messengers stimulate the production of fibrous tissues like collagen, glycoprotein, proteoglycans, etc. These fibrous tissues when deposited in an organ cause Fibrosis. Anaerobic: Anaerobic refers to the absence of oxygen. In life sciences the term anaerobic is most frequently used in relation to exercise physiology. During high intensity work the muscle cells utilise the anaerobic mechanism of energy production to obtain instant energy for contraction. Hypoglycaemia: Hypoglycaemia is the medical term used define the condition when blood glucose falls below 4mmol/L. It leads to lack of glucose supply to different parts of the body especially to the brain. Common symptoms are dizziness, fatigue, sweating, and loss of consciousness and so on.
