Vacuum suction uses suction cups to lift the skin and stimulate the lymphatic and circulatory systems. It can be used on any part of the body with sufficient fat and is often applied as a course of treatments to improve areas like cellulite. The machine consists of a pump, cups, tubing and controls. Treatment methods include gliding individual cups or using multiple pulsating cups. Precautions must be taken to prevent bruising, such as gradually increasing suction and releasing pressure before removing cups.
Hijama (Arabic: حجامة lit. "sucking") is the Arabic term for wet cupping, where blood is drawn by vacuum from a small skin incision for therapeutic purposes.The practice has Greek and Persian origin and is mentioned by Hippocrates.
RENAL DIALYSIS.
RRT
Renal Replacement Therapy.
Dialysis is the artificial process of eliminating waste (diffusion) and unwanted water (ultra filtration) from the blood.
Dialysis is a procedure that cleans and filters the blood. It rids the body of harmful wastes and extra salt and fluids. It also controls blood pressure and helps our body keep the proper balance of chemicals such as potassium, sodium, and chloride.
Dialysis is a Greek word meaning "loosening from something else".

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Introduction
This mechanical treatment uses external suction to lift the body
tissues via moving or static cups. The treatment is similar to a
massage; however, suction is applied instead of pressure. If
performed correctly the treatment is very relaxing.
The main use of this treatment is to stimulate the lymphatic and
circulatory systems, thus aiding the flow of waste products and
tissue fluids from the area to the nearest lymph nodes.
The treatment can be applied to any part of the body where there is
sufficient adipose tissue. It is often used in conjunction with other
treatments and is most beneficial if used as a course of treatments.
A full body application takes 45 minutes, whereas application to a
partial area of the body takes 15 minutes.
3. The vacuum suction machine
Clare Hargreaves-Norris
The vacuum suction unit consists of
a vacuum suction pump that is
powered by an electric motor, a
selection of cups and plastic tubing
that is used to connect the two
together. The regulating switch
controls the amount of pressure
exerted on the tissues and the
vacuum suction gauge displays this
information.
4. The vacuum suction machine
continued
Clare Hargreaves-Norris
The suction effect occurs
due to a reduced
atmospheric pressure
inside the cups. As the air
is sucked out the skin and
subcutaneous tissue is
sucked upwards. In
addition, the machine will
also have an on/off switch.
5. Uses of the vacuum suction treatment
To improve and reduce areas of cellulite.
To improve poor blood circulation.
To improve poor lymphatic circulation and drain
Clare Hargreaves-Norris
waste products from the tissues.
To reduce areas of fluid retention or oedema (non-systemic).
To assist with the removal of fatty deposits for
example on the thighs, abdomen, tops of arms,
buttocks or dowagers hump - all in-conjunction with
diet and exercise.
Improvement in the appearance and condition of the
skin.
6. Restrictions to a vacuum suction
treatment
In addition to the general contra-indications, the
following will restrict treatment in the area:
Clare Hargreaves-Norris
Broken capillaries
Sunburn
Recent stretch marks
Loose, fragile, crepey, ageing skin
Very hairy areas
Very bony areas
Breast tissue
Phlebitis
7. Clare Hargreaves-Norris
Gliding vacuum suction
This is the most frequently used method of vacuum
suction whereby the therapist moves the vacuum
suction cup over the skin towards the nearest lymph
nodes. The suction is continuous as opposed to a
treatment using pulsating suction. When using this
technique, the therapist must constantly stay with the
client to apply the treatment. This technique is used to
increase the dispersal of accumulated fluid and to
soften areas of fatty tissues, therefore improving
general functioning and appearance of the tissues.
8. Pulsating multi-cup vacuum suction
Clare Hargreaves-Norris
This treatment applies 4-8 cups at
the same time to a large, localised
area. This method has the
advantage of not requiring the
constant attention of a therapist,
however care and practise is
required in order to select the correct
high and low pressure for each
individual cup. The high suction time
must be carefully controlled so as to
produce the required effect, but not
too high to cause capillary damage or
bruising.
9. Pulsating multi-cup vacuum suction
The low suction time must be just sufficient to
keep the cup in contact with the body, but at
the same time allowing the tissues to relax.
The treatment must begin with longer periods
of low suction, gradually introducing longer
periods of high suction according to the client’s
needs and tolerance.

11. Effects of the vacuum suction
treatment on the systems of the body
Clare Hargreaves-Norris
12. Clare Hargreaves-Norris
Lymphatic system
Simulates the pumping effect that the muscles normally
create on the lymph vessels. By alternately applying and
releasing pressure over the lymph vessels, lymph fluid is
moved towards the nearest lymph nodes.
Lymphatic circulation is increased which assists with the
removal of waste products.
The appearance of any puffiness such as water retention will
improve, as treatment assists with the removal of tissue fluids
from the area.
Gravitational oedema may be reduced due to the lymph flow
being speeded up; as more lymph fluid is drained away
swelling is reduced.
13. Clare Hargreaves-Norris
Circulatory system
Circulation is increased which brings fresh
oxygen and nutrients to the area.
Improves the efficiency of the removal of
waste products from the area.
Vasodilation of the blood vessels results in
erythema.
Venous flow is speeded up which can help
with the prevention of varicose veins.
15. Clare Hargreaves-Norris
Muscular system
Increased circulation brings fresh oxygen
and nutrients to the muscles and removes
waste products, thus improving muscle
functioning.
17. Clare Hargreaves-Norris
Skin structures
Aids desquamation.
Cell metabolism is speeded up which improves the
appearance of the skin.
Vasodilation of the blood vessels improves skin
colour.
Fatty deposits are softened, therefore helping to
improve the appearance of the skin’s contours.
Sebaceous glands are stimulated and therefore
secrete additional sebum.
19. Clare Hargreaves-Norris
Precautions
Ensure that dials are at zero before commencing
Test the machine on yourself prior to application on
the client
Apply sufficient massage medium to the area, to
allow movement, to provide a seal and to prevent
bruising of the tissues
Always release the pressure before removing the
cup, by removing finger from hole or pushing finger
under the cup to break the seal, if not bruising will
occur
20. Clare Hargreaves-Norris
Precautions
Do not work over the lymph node.
Never exceed a 20% lift in the cup.
Do not over treat an area.
Remember to re-adjust the suction when moving
from one area of the body to another. If moving from
an area of lower adipose tissue (such as the lower
limbs) to an area of higher adipose tissue (such as
the abdomen) you will need to reduce the suction
intensity.
