Iranian Researchers Introduce New Cosmetic Eye Surgery Technique

Iranian Researchers Introduce New Cosmetic Eye Surgery Technique

The test is used for those with droopy eyelids who go to see plastic surgeons to undergo blepharoplasty.

The test was developed by a research team at the Eye Research Center of the Iran University of Medical Sciences and introduced at the American Society of Plastic Surgeons by a professor who supervised the research team.

A considerable number of people with droopy eyes who see doctors for blepharoplasty also have droopy tear glands, which should be treated. Because of droopy eyelids, it is very difficult to diagnose droopy tear glands. Sometimes the condition is not diagnosed, leading to problems such as the protrusion of the outer part of the eyelid or tear gland fistula.

The new test developed by professor Kashkooli and his team can diagnose droopy tear glands with 100% accuracy before blepharoplasty.

As announced by the Iran University of Medical Sciences, professor Kashkooli, a faculty member of the university, has, so far, introduced to the world 14 new techniques, treatments and tests with regards to eyelid, eyebrow, eye socket and tear duct surgeries. These unique techniques have been presented at international circles and published as articles in reputable American and European journals. He has delivered speeches as a guest speaker at more than 15 countries, namely the United States, Japan, Spain, India, China, Turkey and Greece where he presented his new methods of surgery.

Iran Will Hit Israel, US Interests If They Make Any Mistake: IRGC Chief 

Major General Hossein Salami (1)

Referring to a Zionist official’s statement that the job of targeting Iranian forces in Syria and Iraq has been divided between the US and Israel, Major General Hossein Salami said “We tell them you are wrong. If you make a mistake, we’ll hit both of you.”

General Salami emphasised that Iran has told them [Israelis] many times not to count on the US because they’ll either show up late or never come to help. 

Salami made the comments in a ceremony to mark the fortieth day after the assassination of General Qassem Soleimani. 

Talking about Soleimani’s achievements, Salami said that when he entered the battlefield with the Zionists, the Palestinians were fighting with stones, but now in Gaza and the West Bank, the Palestinians are firing a range [of projectiles] against the Zionists. 

“What he did had imprisoned Israelis in the region,” noted Salami.

Iran Manufactures Homegrown Dialysis Machine

Iran Manufactures Homegrown Dialysis Machine

Iranian Consortium of Dialysis started its job 66 years ago with more than 1,000 staff. The company is working on products used for dialysis patients whose kidney efficacy is below 10%. Using alternative methods it helps improve kidney function. It is a hemodialysis procedure where the patient’s blood is pumped out of the body to be filtered.

This is done by stationary machinery and disposable products that Novatis has both production lines. The company, with its specialised personnel and a large production line, has been able to produce three flagship products. One of them is the dialysis water purifier, which is the only company in Iran that produces this product. Navatis manufactures products in the field of water treatment as well.

The second product is the dialysis filter, which was first produced in Iran and has been exported to other countries. It has made Iran one of the first countries in the world that have an automated production line. The third case is a hemodialysis machine that has been operating for four years.

Previously, some jobs had been carried out in this field in Iran and elsewhere, but the production of dialysis machines with modern technology has been a tough job. For example, if there are four big companies in the world, Novatis has competed with them. Even though they have 100 to150 years of experience, Novatis has produced this machine in just a few years.

This machine is currently undergoing tests and is being sent to the market.

According to the company’s CEO, dialysis is currently free in Iran, but as the population grows in the future, the government will not afford the cost of dialysis and people will move on to dialysis at home. That is, to produce a super-intelligent system that can meet the needs of the patient without the presence of an operator.

According to him, due to the very good engineering expertise inside Iran, business development costs are very good and the domestic high-tech products are well priced; something about 40 to 50 percent lower than foreign samples but of the same quality and sometimes higher.

On the other hand, Novatis also has good international communications and it can provide after-sales services as well. However, due to money transfer problems in Iran, the company prefers to take raw materials from other countries and sell them knowledge and products.

The United States, Germany, Japan, Italy, China and another company in Iran have so far been able to offer these products. However, their prices are not comparable with the Novatis products.

Christian Prayers for Peace and Unity in 2020

The sad news such as earthquakes and eruption of Taal volcano in the Philippines, bushfire in Australia, a possible war between Iran and America, and the latest one today, which is the Novel Coronavirus bombarded us.

These human-made and natural disasters give an unsettling feeling to people all over the world, but we have no other choice, but to equip ourselves to combat all of it. It ruined our inner peace and broke the camaraderie that we have built before. We badly want to save our lives and failed to empathize due to the roaring troubles life is throwing at us.

In times like these, what are the primary defenses that will surely console us? What are the things we need to do to ease the anxieties? Whom are we going to ask for help if these adversities come? Let me tell you a secret; prayer is the key to having peace of mind and unity.

A Prayer for Serenity amidst the Chaos
Heavenly Father, grant our souls the peace we want for ourselves as we face the chaos of the world. Allow the calmness to rule our hearts and never let fears rule over our minds. Help us not to be afraid of all the tragedy that keeps on shaking our faith in You. Let Your precious blood cover each one of us, Amen.

A Prayer for Anxiousness
Heavenly God, encourage us with Your love and mercy. Free us from the chain that halts us to become closer to You. Free us from fear, anxieties, and worries that keep on pushing us to our limits. Turn our distress to something great, Lord. Thank You for not abandoning us throughout the battle, Amen.

A Prayer for your Family
Lord, the time You have given me my family was the happiest moment of my life. Each of us has a dream we want to fulfill, Lord; as we separate every day to reach that goal, allow us to stay connected to one another. Help us cast the burdens that slowed us from reaching our goals. They are the best gift I received from You, God. We allow You to be the center of this family, Amen.

A Prayer for Harmony
Almighty God, the world is in disarray; help us to spread love, among others. Please give us the burden to accept and respect other people that don’t share the same beliefs with ours. Never allow superiority to come our way, Lord. Let the fairness prevails at the end. Amen.

A Prayer for Healing
Lord, the world is at war right now. Many people are in great trouble because of personal and social struggles. God, heal us from the distress inflicted on us by the world. Many people are enraged because of unresolved traumas and relationship in the past; deliver to them the full healing they need and allow their hearts to understand that only You can change their whole life. Amen.

A Prayer During Difficulties
Good Lord, each of us is facing difficulties right now. Sometimes, it weakens our foundation and gives us an unsettling feeling. Some of us chose to die because they didn’t surpass the challenges. God, there are people out there who can’t combat tribulations. Today, I ask You, God, to give them courage and wisdom on how to solve their struggles. Please give us the vision to see the impossible. Amen.

A Prayer for the Self
Lord, I get too confident of myself sometimes and forget that You existed; I am losing my balance, Lord. Draw me closer to Your presence so that I may find the peace and love that I have been searching for too long. Please, bring me the power to understand the setbacks and tribulations that try to shake my faith. I do not know the future. Help me prepare and pick the right armor as I start my journey towards uncertainty. I am offering my life to You, God.

We can formulate prayers through the guidance of our Lord Jesus Christ. The bible always consoles us by reminding us that God listens to every whisper of our hearts. For more topics about knowing God, about the scriptures and prayers, you can access christian.net and have more conversations with our God.

Takeaway
When life pulls you to the edge, it is reasonable to seek for remedy. Never stop yourself in finding cures for all the adversities. Prayer is a powerful weapon we can use to fight any challenge. The comfort of having God in our lives is incomparable. Yes, you can live your life according to your will, but living with the Lord is way better than maneuvering it alone. If you are in the hands of the Lord, you are secured and loved.

Iran FM, Canadian PM Meet in Munich

Iran FM, Canadian PM Meet in Munich

The meeting was held on Friday on the sidelines of the annual Munich Security Conference.

Following the meeting with Prime Minister Trudeau, Zarif also met his Canadian counterpart François-Philippe Champagne.
The talks between Iran and Canada come a few weeks after the accidental downing of a Ukrainian passenger plane in Tehran, which killed all the 176 on board, including dozens of Iranian-Canadian citizens.

Following the tragic incident, Ottawa has been in touch with Tehran despite the Canadian government’s decision to sever ties with Iran in 2012.

Canada and Iran have had no formal diplomatic relations since then. Canadian consular and passport services are provided through other Canadian diplomatic missions in other countries in the Middle East while Iran maintains an interests section at the Embassy of Pakistan in Washington, D.C.
The government headed by PM Trudeau which took office in 2015, has reportedly been reviewing relations with Iran and, like most countries, lifted most of its economic sanctions following the Iran nuclear agreement in July 2015. But Donald Trump’s re-imposition of Iran sanctions in 2018 has once again reduced the chances for a thaw in relations.
