Improvement on Biometrics in Individuals Undergoing a 10 and 21-Day Lifestyle Intervention in a Lifestyle Medicine Clinic in Mexico.

Background: The intervention in the Lifestyle Medicine Clinic from La Carlota Hospital gives an opportunity to assess the clinical effect of a healthy lifestyle in an inpatient setting with emphasis in a plant-based diet, supervised daily exercise, sleep hygiene, psychological and optional spiritual therapies. This work evaluated the effect of short-term therapy on biometrics and blood profiles' risk factors for non-communicable diseases (NCDs).

Methods: Twenty-five patients were enrolled in the intervention, 12 for the 10-day intervention and 13 for the 21-day intervention.

Spiral laser beams in inhomogeneous media.

Explicit solutions of the inhomogeneous paraxial wave equation in a linear and quadratic approximation are applied to wave fields with invariant features, such as oscillating laser beams in a parabolic waveguide and spiral light beams in varying media. A similar effect of superfocusing of particle beams in a thin monocrystal film, harmonic oscillations of cold trapped atoms, and motion in magnetic field are also mentioned.
