Why do we get acne?

Nobody likes to have pimples or blackheads and it would be nice if we could tell you what causes them and what to do to avoid them. But the problem is not so simple. Both pimples and blackheads most often start in the hair follicles. The sebaceous glands produce a fatty substance that gets there. When the hair follicle becomes clogged and this fatty secretion collects, then what we call blackhead is formed.

Pimples are small, raised areas of the skin that often accumulate pus. But the cause of acne is much more difficult to explain than blackheads. They can appear for many reasons, including poor nutrition, imbalanced glandular function, or minor skin infections. Pimples can also be a sign of more serious skin disorders or even a symptom of a serious medical condition. Therefore, if a large number of acne appears on the body, it is necessary to consult a doctor. The doctor will try to find the cause of their appearance.

If the presence of acne is caused by some internal causes, then the use of some external medicines will not bring much benefit, but will only damage the skin. Acne should not be squeezed out, as this can lead to infection entering the body.

Many young people develop acne during adolescence, in which not only acne appears, but also pustules, cysts, and nodules. The reasons for this are very individual: in some cases it has to do with nutrition, and in others - the cause of this phenomenon may be the malfunction of the glands. A person who develops acne should see a doctor to determine the method of treatment.

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

Which telescope has a higher resolution - radio or optical?

The shortcoming of radio telescopes for a long time was their low resolution, reaching even for large radio telescopes only a few minutes of arc.

The problem was solved by using the technique of interferometry, when the signals falling on different radio telescopes are collected and processed on a computer. In this case, two or more radio telescopes behave as a single instrument with a diameter equal to the distance between the individual radio telescopes.

Using simultaneously three radio telescopes installed in the USA, Australia and South Africa, astronomers were able to see the structure of the pulsar, located at a distance of 1600 light-years from Earth in the constellation of Sail. A cloud of hot gas emitting radio waves has a diameter of 500 kilometers, and in its center is a neutron star with a diameter of about 10 kilometers.

If an optical telescope had such resolution, it could see a large virus on the surface of the Moon from the Earth.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

Battery scooter 15.12.2001

American inventor Dean Kamen demonstrated to the public his invention, known as Ginger.

The device is a two-wheeled scooter powered by a battery. According to the descriptions of people who have ventured to try a new vehicle, it is unusually stable, maneuverable and even provides the ability to go up and down stairs.

With minimal electricity consumption, a person of average build can drive it all day at a speed not exceeding 30 km / h, which is quite enough for modern cities clogged with transport. In order to make the scooter move in a certain direction, the rider only has to lean slightly in that direction.
