Preparing for the mole removal procedure is key, since it is a highly invasive skin procedure. First, your doctor will numb the area and make a small incision with a scalpel. The incised tissue will be carefully removed, and the wound cleaned and stitched up. Skin regeneration cream may be applied to prevent dehydrating of the skin and minimize scarring. A protective dressing will be applied and worn for several days after the procedure, and sun protection advised. Taking good care of the skin after the procedure allows most patients to avoid permanent scarring and enjoy a rapid, full recovery to smooth skin. For further guidance, you should make an appointment with your physician to discuss your treatment. If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact support, and we will be happy to assist as best we can. Good luck!" } ]

In some cases, moles may be merely observed over time to see if they become malignant (cancerous).

The major advantages of having a trained medical professional remove your mole include a lower risk of scarring and infection, as well as a higher likelihood of removing all of the mole tissue, which lowers the risk of the mole returning. There are some circumstances in which your doctor may recommend removing a mole in a hospital setting or by a surgeon; this is usually only necessary in cases where the mole is unusually large, has unusual features, or is in a difficult-to-access area of the body.

Many historians believe that Atkins was the first female photographer in the world. While there is no evidence to definitively prove that she was indeed the first, Atkins nonetheless helped pave the way for generations of women photographers to exercise their curiosity and creativity.\n\nAtkins’ medium of choice was cyanotype photography, a camera-less technique that allowed her to capture detailed silhouettes of plant specimens on light-sensitive paper, which turned a brilliant shade of blue when developed in sunlight. Throughout her prolific career, Atkins combined the scientific impulse to make discoveries and document them accurately with the artistic impulse to create an object of beauty.\n\nIntroducing Anna Atkins: Britain’s First Botanical Photographer\n\nFrom early childhood in Kent, England, Anna Atkins’ unusual education and relationships helped shape her trajectory toward becoming Britain’s first botanical photographer. Born Anna Children in 1799, Atkins was raised by her father, who was a well-respected scientist in the fields of chemistry and zoology. Unlike most English women in the 19th century, Atkins received a thorough education on scientific topics, including botany, and even contributed engravings to her father’s published work. Atkins also had a close, lifelong relationship with a woman named Anne Dixon, a childhood friend who lived with the Children family and with whom Atkins collaborated on botanical photography experiments throughout her career.\n\nWhen Atkins married, she moved with her husband to a family estate in Kent, where she enjoyed the luxuries of time and space to collect and study all the plant specimens that the English countryside has to offer. Atkins never had children, and she spent her days investigating, collecting, and cataloging various flora—and eventually photographing them.\n\nAtkins learned about photography—a new phenomenon in 19th-century England—through correspondence with its inventor, her friend William Henry Fox Talbot. Another family friend, John Herschel, introduced his own invention of cyanotype photography to Atkins in 1841. (Herschel also mentored another female English photographer, Julia Margaret Cameron.) Atkins was instantly drawn to the cyanotype process. Within a year of learning this camera-less technique, Atkins had already mastered it, creating dozens of striking blue and white images of the plant specimens she had collected.\n\nThe Science of Photography and the Cyanotype Process\n\nCyanotype photography, also called sun printing or blueprinting, is a photography technique that, compared to other methods in the 1840s, was accessible and affordable for an amateur English photographer like Anna Atkins. This process did not require owning a camera or having access to expensive chemical materials. To create cyanotype, the photographer begins with paper that is chemically treated with a light-sensitive solution of ammonium citrate and potassium ferricyanide. The object to be recorded is placed on the paper and the entire piece is exposed to sunlight for around fifteen minutes. Then, the piece is brought back indoors, the object removed, and the cyanotype image is fixed on the paper by washing it in plain water, at which point the uncovered areas of the paper turn blue, and the image appears as a white negative. The result is a highly detailed, highly contrasted silhouette of the subject.\n\nThe cyanotype process went on to become especially popular with architects and engineers, who used the process to make copies—or blueprints—of their designs. For Anna Atkins, she saw in cyanotype photography the potential to create accurate, scientifically useful records of her botanical specimen collection for study and reproduction.\n\n \n\nThe Rise of the Botanical Photograph: How Atkins Captured Plants \n\nMaking a record of a plant specimen with the requisite quality and accuracy to be scientifically useful is notoriously difficult when using drawing or engraving as the method of reproduction. Although Anna Atkins was experienced and skilled at scientific engraving, she found that the highly detailed silhouette of the cyanotype, which was created directly from the specimen itself, was a more scientific method than any attempts to render what she saw by hand.\n\n \n\nAfter being taught the process by its inventor, the English photographer turned to cyanotype photography instead of traditional illustration to record botanical specimens for her first scientific reference book on British algae. Atkins explained, “I have lately taken in hand a rather lengthy performance. It is the taking photographical impressions of all, that I can procure, of the British algae and confervae are, many of which are so minute that accurate drawings of them are very difficult to make.”\n\n \n\nHer comprehensive and successful efforts at botanical cyanotype photography helped establish photography as an accurate and effective medium for scientific illustration. But Atkins’ work stretched even beyond the scope of science. The English photographer also experimented with creating artistic compositions of her specimens and layering them with other objects, like lace and feathers. Such exercises demonstrated that photography could be a legitimate vehicle for exploring aesthetic properties like shape, form, texture, and transparency in addition to facilitating pure scientific accuracy.\n\nThe English Photographer’s “Photographs of British Algae”\n\nIn 1843, Anna Atkins self-published the first volume of her first photography book: Photographs of British Algae: Cyanotype Impressions. Although it was privately published with a very limited number of copies, it is considered to be the first published book to be illustrated with photographs. Atkins published a total of three volumes of British algae photographs between 1843 and 1853.\n\n \n\nWhen she began working on Photographs of British Algae, the study of algae had recently been legitimized by an 1841 publication by William Harvey titled Manual of British Algae. Atkins originally set out to contribute cyanotype illustrations to Harvey’s original publication, which did not include any images, but she ended up gathering her own specimens and labeling and organizing them herself. Instead of using traditional letterpress printing to label the specimens, Atkins incorporated handwriting that was created through the cyanotype process, demonstrating the attention she paid to the aesthetic properties of her specimens. In fact, Atkins was specifically drawn to the elegant and organic shapes of the algae—or “flowers of the sea” as many called them—and their potential to form beautiful compositions on the page.\n\nHer main goal was to create a volume of accurate reproductions of algae species that could be used for studies. The complete book contains over 400 types of algae with numerous images of each specimen. Atkins’ approach to creating the book was as innovative as it was involved. Every page of every copy of Photographs of British Algae was produced entirely by hand, so over the course of a decade, Atkins only completed around a dozen completed copies of her book, some of which are now preserved and sometimes exhibited at major cultural institutions, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the British Library." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "In 1841, Anna Atkins created her very first photograph.

The result is a highly detailed, highly contrasted silhouette of the subject.\n\nThe cyanotype process went on to become especially popular with architects and engineers, who used the process to make copies—or blueprints—of their designs. For Anna Atkins, she saw in cyanotype photography the potential to create accurate, scientifically useful records of her botanical specimen collection for study and reproduction.\n\n \n\nThe Rise of the Botanical Photograph: How Atkins Captured Plants \n\nMaking a record of a plant specimen with the requisite quality and accuracy to be scientifically useful is notoriously difficult when using drawing or engraving as the method of reproduction. Although Anna Atkins was experienced and skilled at scientific engraving, she found that the highly detailed silhouette of the cyanotype, which was created directly from the specimen itself, was a more scientific method than any attempts to render what she saw by hand.\n\n \n\nAfter being taught the process by its inventor, the English photographer turned to cyanotype photography instead of traditional illustration to record botanical specimens for her first scientific reference book on British algae. Atkins explained, “I have lately taken in hand a rather lengthy performance. It is the taking photographical impressions of all, that I can procure, of the British algae and confervae are, many of which are so minute that accurate drawings of them are very difficult to make.”\n\n \n\nHer comprehensive and successful efforts at botanical cyanotype photography helped establish photography as an accurate and effective medium for scientific illustration. But Atkins’ work stretched even beyond the scope of science. The English photographer also experimented with creating artistic compositions of her specimens and layering them with other objects, like lace and feathers. Such exercises demonstrated that photography could be a legitimate vehicle for exploring aesthetic properties like shape, form, texture, and transparency in addition to facilitating pure scientific accuracy.\n\nThe English Photographer’s “Photographs of British Algae”\n\nIn 1843, Anna Atkins self-published the first volume of her first photography book: Photographs of British Algae: Cyanotype Impressions. Although it was privately published with a very limited number of copies, it is considered to be the first published book to be illustrated with photographs. Atkins published a total of three volumes of British algae photographs between 1843 and 1853.\n\n \n\nWhen she began working on Photographs of British Algae, the study of algae had recently been legitimized by an 1841 publication by William Harvey titled Manual of British Algae. Atkins originally set out to contribute cyanotype illustrations to Harvey’s original publication, which did not include any images, but she ended up gathering her own specimens and labeling and organizing them herself. Instead of using traditional letterpress printing to label the specimens, Atkins incorporated handwriting that was created through the cyanotype process, demonstrating the attention she paid to the aesthetic properties of her specimens. In fact, Atkins was specifically drawn to the elegant and organic shapes of the algae—or “flowers of the sea” as many called them—and their potential to form beautiful compositions on the page.\n\nHer main goal was to create a volume of accurate reproductions of algae species that could be used for studies. The complete book contains over 400 types of algae with numerous images of each specimen. Atkins’ approach to creating the book was as innovative as it was involved. Every page of every copy of Photographs of British Algae was produced entirely by hand, so over the course of a decade, Atkins only completed around a dozen completed copies of her book, some of which are now preserved and sometimes exhibited at major cultural institutions, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the British Library." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "In 1841, Anna Atkins created her very first photograph. She was a pioneer in 19th century photography, being the first to demonstrate the full creative potential of the cyanotype. In this historical context, Atkins was unique in that she was the first female photographer in the world, and also helped pave the way for generations of female photographers to pursue their own curiosity and creativity. Atkins’ medium of choice was cyanotype photography, a camera-less technique that allowed her to capture detailed silhouettes of plant specimens on light-sensitive paper, which turned a brilliant shade of blue when developed in sunlight. Anna Atkins used this cyanotype process to create her famous reference book Photographs of British Algae, which was the first published book to be illustrated with photographs. Atkins’ technical skill and aesthetic sensibilities combined to produce an informative and beautiful book of artistic photographs." }, { "role": "user", "content": "Can you summarize what you just wrote into three concise sentences?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "The Nucleus is a membrane-bound organelle that serves as the control center of the cell.

Some studies have shown that SNRIs are slightly more effective at treating symptoms of anxiety, while other studies have shown that SSRIs are slightly more effective at treating symptoms of depression. To find out which of these types of anti-depressants is more effective, you can just search for research on “SSRIs versus SNRIs” online, which will help you find more resources about this question." }, { "role": "user", "content": "What about SNRIs makes them slightly more effective at treating symptoms of anxiety?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Scientists don't yet fully understand the biological reasons behind this, but there are some possible explanations for why some types of anti-depressants may be more effective at reducing anxiety. It's possible that SNRIs are more effective because they are more active at stimulating the neurotransmitter glutamate, which has been shown to play a role in regulating anxiety. In addition, some studies have found that the serotonergic signaling system may be more active in the brains of people with anxiety, and SNRIs may be better at targeting this system. And one last possibility is that some symptoms of anxiety may be tied to reduced availability of the neurotransmitter GABA, which is also targeted by SSRIs and SNRIs. It's also possible that some symptoms of anxiety may be caused by a specific protein in the brain that seems to be more prevalent in people with anxiety, which some SNRIs seem to be able to bind to, and that SSRIs don’t have as strong an effect on." } ]
