  • Publication number: 20170135879
    Abstract: The invention comprises of a device that allows health care providers to position the body of a patient for progression of labor, for assistance in fetal resuscitation, and for other medical procedures. The device has inflatable chambers that assist the labor and delivery health care provider in turning a patient onto her right or left side while laying in bed. An inflatable positioning pad is used to further assist with the turning of a patient and/or with the shifting of a patient toward the head or the foot of the bed as needed. This device and method will allow turning to be done frequently, rapidly and safely, especially in pregnant patients with epidurals, that are overweight, or that otherwise have difficulty moving on their own.

The aforementioned combination results in reduced residue build-up and improved cosmetic properties, and in particular in an improved dryness sensation on the skin. These agents furthermore have an outstanding antiperspirant action. The present invention further relates to a method for preventing and/or reducing perspiration of the body, using the cosmetic agent according to the invention, and to the use of the aforementioned combination of propellant-containing cosmetic agents.

    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a porous silica particle with the small specific surface area and the large pore volume, a method for producing the same, and a cosmetic containing the porous silica particle with such characteristics as the texture improver. The porous silica particle according to the present invention has a structure sparsely packed with silica microparticles. The mean particle diameter is 0.5 to 25 ?m, the specific surface area measured by the BET method is 5 to 60 m2/cm3, and the pore volume is 0.35 to 2.0 ml/g. In the pore size distribution of the porous silica particles (X axis: pore diameter, Y axis: value obtained by differentiating the pore volume by the pore diameter), the most frequent pore diameter (Dm) satisfies 100<Dm<4000 [nm].
