Facial reproductions

The androgens stimulate the development of the male secondary structures, such as the penis, scrotum, seminal vesicles, prostate gland, vas deferens and epididymis. The deepening of the voice, the growth of pubic, axillary, body, and facial hair, as well as the development of the characteristic musculature of the human male, are also under the influence of testosterone. If the testes fail to develop or are removed prior to puberty, these changes do not occur. Thus, testosterone is essential for reproductive function of the male.

We concluded above that Johnson Controls policy is not neutral because it does not apply to the reproductive capacity of the company s male employees in the same way as it applies to that of the females. Moreover, the absence of a malevolent motive does 1204 not convert a facially discriminatory policy into a neutral policy with a discriminatory effect. Whether an employment practice involves disparate treatment through explicit facial discrimination does not depend on why the employer discriminates but rather on the explicit terms of the discrimination. In Martin Marietta, supra, the motives underlying the employers express exclusion of women did not alter the intentionally discriminatory character of the policy. Nor did the arguably benign motives lead to consideration of a business necessity defense. The question 200 in that case was whether the discrimination in question could be justified under 703(e) as a BFOQ. The beneficence of an employer s purpose does not undermine the conclusion that an explicit gender-based policy is sex discrimination under 703(a) and thus may be defended only as a BFOQ. 

The chief function of testosterone and other androgens is to promote the normal growth of the male reproductive organs (the primary sex characteristics) and the development of the male s characteristic deep voice, pattern of body and facial hair, and musculature (secondary sex characteristics). Although testosterone produces these effects, it is not active when taken oraUy because it is metabolized in the liver to an inactive steroid. A number of oral anabolic steroids have been developed for use in rehabilitation medicine, particularly when muscle atrophy occurs during recovery from an injury. Examples include the following compounds ... 

Reproductive system A 34-year-old woman became hot and sweaty and had facial flushing and erythema at the end of an infusion of vancomycin 1 g over 60 minutes. A few minutes later she developed severe lower abdominal cramps and vaginal bleeding, confirmed to be uterine her last menstrual cycle had been 2 weeks before [58 ]. Histamine increases myometrial contractions through Hi receptor-mediated activation of uterine mast cells, and this was a probable mechanism. 

Sex hormones that predominate in males are called androgens. They regulate the development of male reproductive organs and secondary sex characteristics, such as facial and body hair, deep voice, and male musculature. Two important androgens are... 

Testosterone is a male sexual hormone that acts before the birth of a male infant to form the male sex organs. Testosterone functions at puberty and beyond to promote the growth and maturation of the male reproduction system, to develop the sexual drive, and to determine secondary sexual characteristics such as facial hair and voice deepening.

Generally, the patient has to be present when the process of tinting the prosthesis is carried out in the clinic to get the proper shade for the prosthesis. This stage may be facilitated if a reliable reproduction of the skin color can be made. So that, the patient needs only to be present when the facial shade is selected just before the processing of the prosthesis. 

The digital camera was the best device compared to the spectrophotometer and the scanner in reproducing facial skin color. It is indicated to record dark skin people. The scanner results of skin color reproduction were fair in capturing light skin tones.

Detail reproduction and the stability of color, flexibility and dimension are the most approved specifications of a facial prosthesis made with PDMS elastomer. The detail reproduction is directly related to the esthetic performance of the prothesis since the material mimics the details of the patients skin appearance in order to provide a lifelike appearance. StabiUty of color and flexibiUty of the PDMS are also important factors for longevity of facial prostheses. The dimensional stability is an important property of a material to provide prosthesis fitting over time, protection of the bloody tissues as well as esthetics [54,61]. Nevertheless, the average time of replacing the facial prostheses wcis reported between...
