Asli Tarcan Clinic Introduces the Robotic DHI Method for Afro Hair Transplantation
İSTANBUL, Türkiye, April 14, 2025 (EZ Newswire) -- Asli Tarcan Clinic, a leading provider of hair transplantation, dental procedures, and cosmetic surgery in Turkey, announced today that it has started to use cutting-edge Robotic DHI technology for Afro hair transplant procedures. This minimally invasive new treatment reduces the duration of extensive surgeries requiring up to 6,000 grafts by 50% — from 6 hours for traditional methods to just 3 hours.
Asli Tarcan is a leader in African American hair transplantation, which requires great skill and precision during the extraction and implantation of grafts to preserve the natural curl pattern and match the direction of hair growth with the surrounding areas. Hair loss in this population can be caused by genetic factors and traction alopecia, which is especially prevalent in women and brought on by wearing tight braids and weaves. The clinic has a long track record of success with this specialized surgery and many positive reviews from patients with different Afro hair types.
This procedure will be available today using robotic technology that limits human error and reduces recovery times.
Robotic DHI is one of the most efficient hair transplant methods. It involves a team of five people working with robotic systems. Specialized Choi pens house the grafts harvested from the donor area on the nape of the neck, simultaneously creating incisions and implanting them into the recipient area.
With this advanced technology, each extracted graft receives a dose of UV light, PRP, and special mesotherapy vitamins. It goes through the machine to ensure optimal sterilization levels and prime the grafts with nutrients that support healing and promote hair growth.
Unlike the follicular unit extraction method, FUE, or even the classic DHI, where a single nurse meticulously implants each hair follicle one by one, the automated system allows two nurses to work simultaneously, one on each side of the head.
The increased speed of the procedure doesn't just mean a more comfortable experience for the patient. Because the medical staff shares the workload, there is no drop in focus or the need for breaks or splitting up the procedure into two sessions, making it much easier for the staff to stay focused and finish the surgery in a single day.
Some other benefits that Robotic DHI Afro hair transplant procedures offer include better survivability and viability of follicles extracted from the donor area, integration with other medical equipment such as a heart rate and pulse oximeter monitor, the option not to shave the recipient area, particularly popular with female patients, and access to a monitor where the patient can monitor the procedure or engage in various forms of entertainment.
'What is the advantage to the patient? Our patient can monitor the operation and the number of grafts transplanted from the fixed screen,' said Tarcan. 'If 5,000 grafts have been transplanted, 5,000 grafts can be viewed on the screen. The patient can see the grafts on the screen and monitor the operation process daily. If we have a bored patient, they can switch to Netflix or YouTube and watch any movie or video they want.'

Town isn't about the chaos of the city, but super seasonality, regenerative farming, and letting the produce speak for itself
It's wild that nobody before has ever thought to name a restaurant 'Town'. Think of the endless possibilities of 'Town'! It's the place everybody wants to go; the place where so many thrilling things happen; the place where, if you can make it there, you are highly likely to make it anywhere. This new, shimmering incarnation of 'Town' can be found on the fringes of Covent Garden, far enough away from the frantic piazza so as not to be heaving with tourists and/or street performers. It's a truly grand room, a Ballardian boudoir in shiny, wipe-clean burgundy, with an open kitchen framed by a massive, oval-shaped and lime green opening. The retro-futurism thing is further dished up via the soundtrack; Dorothy Ashby's 'Afro-Harping' slinks groovily in the background, and there're a vinyl copy of Lou Donaldson's 1968 sax odyssey 'Alligator Boogaloo' perched on a record player (which nevertheless remains switched off for the duration of our visit). Such a space-age aesthetic is perhaps at odds with Town's menu, which has more in common with the rustic likes of surrealist late-1990s cookery show River Cottage than it does Barbarella. You see, Town isn't about the chaos of the city, but super seasonality, regenerative farming, and letting the produce speak for itself. It is, essentially, a plotline from The Archers. In practice, this means that the food is deeply considered, but pretty low intervention - it's less about cooking, and more about arranging lovely things on a plate. That's not to say Town avoids all contemporary trends. The snack of 2025, the gilda, comes with a nubbin of soused mackerel and a folded shiso leaf, while the snack of 2024, fried sage leaves, comes heavy on the batter and drizzled in honey. The snack of 2023 - a pastel-shaded pickle plate - is accessorised with a simple dollop of salted yogurt. My starter of wine-cured beef is just as fuss-free, with a scattering of candied walnuts and a few dots of creamy cheese, while Welsh lobster is no doubt cooked incredibly, but is relatively pared-back when it comes to presentation, layered with creamy sheets of lardo and dolloped with a XO sauce so brawny that it practically throbs. A side salad of tomato, nespoles (a kind of a fancy apricot) and elderflower is perhaps where Town's vision is clearest - a carnival of colour, furiously fresh flavour and powerful sense of pride at nature's perfect bounty. The vibe Brutalism, but make it glam - a swanky space with pricey dishes. The food Ingredient-led fare with a focus on British-grown produce and sustainability practices. The drink Lots of wine and a deft cocktail menu as devised by award-winning bar Satan's Whiskers. Our 'Dill Boy' martini was small but strong and handsome aka the Tom Hardy of drinks.

The ‘MIND diet' could slash your risk of dementia by up to 25 per cent, scientists discover
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) IT'S never too late to start eating better to prevent dementia, research suggests. Over-45s who followed what's known as the 'MIND diet' were "significantly" less likely to develop the disease than those who ate other healthy meals. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Following the 'MIND diet' could lower your risk of dementia by up to 25 per cent, scientists say Credit: Getty MIND stands for Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay. It combines the Mediterranean diet, which is high in fruit, vegetables and healthy fats, with the blood pressure-lowering DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension), which includes whole grains, low fat dairy and lean meats. Scientists say it has a particular focus on proven "brain-healthy" foods like leafy greens, berries, nuts and olive oil. The study, by the University of Hawaii at Manoa, found participants who closely followed MIND at the start of the study had a nine per cent lower risk of dementia, with an even greater reduction, of around 13 per cent, among those who identified as African American, Latino or white. People who improved their adherence over 10 years - including those who didn't follow the diet diligently at first - had a 25 per cent lower risk of dementia compared to those whose adherence declined. The beneficial relationship was seen similarly among younger and older groups, which the researchers say suggests that there are benefits to adopting the diet at any age. Dr Song-Yi Park, associate professor at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, said: "Our study findings confirm that healthy dietary patterns in mid to late life and their improvement over time may prevent Alzheimer's and related dementias. "This suggests that it is never too late to adopt a healthy diet to prevent dementia." Researchers analysed data from more than 90,000 American adults aged 45 to 75 who provided information about their diets, starting in the 1990s. More than 21,000 developed Alzheimer's or related types of dementia in subsequent years. Five simple tests that could indicate dementia "We found that the protective relationship between a healthy diet and dementia was more pronounced among those who identified as African American, Latino and white, while it was not as apparent among Asian Americans and showed a weaker trend in Native Hawaiians,' Dr Park said. "A tailored approach may be needed when evaluating different subpopulations' diet quality." The findings were presented at the annual meeting of the American Society for Nutrition in Orlando, Florida. How to follow the MIND diet The MIND diet stands for Mediterranean-DASH Diet Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay. It combines the Mediterranean diet and the DASH diet, and was designed to target the health of the ageing brain - specifically dementia and Alzheimer's. It may also benefit heart health, diabetes and certain cancers. The MIND diet contains foods rich in certain vitamins, carotenoids, and flavonoids that are believed to protect the brain by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation. This includes lots of plant-based foods that are minimally processed and limited animal-based products, and those that are high in saturated fats and added sugars. The diet also recommends portion control, though not for weight loss. Broadly, the MIND diet has 10 food groups you should eat, and five to limit. The the 10 foods and drinks the MIND diet encourages are: Green, leafy vegetables (e.g. kale, spinach, broccoli) All other vegetables Berries (e.g. strawberries, blueberries) Nuts (e.g. almonds, walnuts, pistachios) Olive oil Whole grains (e.g. oats, brown rice, quinoa) Fish (not fried) Beans (e.g. kidney, black, pinto) Poultry (e.g. chicken, turkey) Wine (red) It recommends limiting your intake of: Butter and margarine Cheese Red meat Fried food Pastries and sweets Overall, the MIND diet principles are: 3+ servings a day of whole grains 1+ servings a day of vegetables (other than green leafy) 6+ servings a week of green leafy vegetables 5+ servings a week of nuts 4+ meals a week of beans 2+ servings a week of berries 2+ meals a week of poultry 1+ meals a week of fish Mainly olive oil if added fat is used Reduction in foods which are higher in saturated and/or trans fat Limitation of alcohol and sugar-containing foods and drinks Source: British Association for Nutrition & Lifestyle Medicine An estimated 982,000 people have dementia in the UK. This number is expected to rise to 1.4million by 2040. Alzheimer's disease, the most common type of the condition, is caused by a build-up of proteins called amyloids in the brain. Experts do not know exactly how this leads to the loss of brain cells, but research is continuing. Symptoms include memory loss, difficulty concentrating and finding it hard to carry out familiar daily tasks. Previous research has linked the MIND diet to a lower risk of cognitive decline, which can lead to dementia. Other ways to lower your risk include looking after your teeth, exercising and prioritising sleep.

New Orleans holds burial of repatriated African Americans whose skulls were used in racist research
NEW ORLEANS — New Orleans celebrated the return and burial of the remains of 19 African American people whose skulls had been sent to Germany for racist research practices in the 19th century. On Saturday, a multifaith memorial service including a jazz funeral, one of the city's most distinct traditions, paid tribute to the humanity of those coming home to their final resting place at the Hurricane Katrina Memorial. "We ironically know these 19 because of the horrific thing that happened to them after their death, the desecration of their bodies," said Monique Guillory, president of Dillard University, a historically Black private liberal arts college, which spearheaded the receipt of the remains on behalf of the city. "This is actually an opportunity for us to recognize and commemorate the humanity of all of these individuals who would have been denied, you know, such a respectful send-off and final burial." The 19 people are all believed to have passed away from natural causes between 1871 and 1872 at Charity Hospital, which served people of all races and classes in New Orleans during the height of white supremacist oppression in the 1800s. The hospital shuttered following Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The remains sat in 19 wooden boxes in the university's chapel during a service Saturday that also included music from the Kumbuka African Drum and Dance Collective. A New Orleans physician provided the skulls of the 19 people to a German researcher engaged phrenological studies — the debunked belief that a person's skull could determine innate racial characteristics. "All kinds of experiments were done on Black bodies living and dead," said Eva Baham, a historian who led Dillard University's efforts to repatriate the individuals' remains. "People who had no agency over themselves." In 2023, the University of Leipzig in Germany reached out to the City of New Orleans to find a way to return the remains, Guillory said. The University of Leipzig did not immediately respond to a request for comment. "It is a demonstration of our own morality here in New Orleans and in Leipzig with the professors there who wanted to do something to restore the dignity of these people," Baham said. Dillard University researchers say more digging remains to be done, including to try and track down possible descendants. They believe it is likely that some of the people had been recently freed from slavery. "These were really poor, indigent people in the end of the 19th century, but ... they had names, they had addresses, they walked the streets of the city that we love," Guillory said. "We all deserve a recognition of our humanity and the value of our lives."
