Background Non‐surgical rhinoplasty using hyaluronic acid dermal fillers is a cosmetic procedure that has been becoming increasingly popular among patients wanting to correct nasal deformities or nasal irregularities, in the recent years. Aim This systematic review aims to provide quality evidence about the success of non‐surgical rhinoplasty procedures in terms of patient satisfaction and complications. Methods A systematic electronic literature search using keywords and MESH search terms over the PubMed/Medline, Cochrane Central, Scopus, and EBSCO online databases was conducted from November 2005 to February 2021. Additionally, the reference lists of included systematic reviews were hand searched. Data collected included patient satisfaction and complications from prospective and experimental studies providing highest level of evidence. Articles were critically appraised, and MINORS scale was used to assess the risk of bias. Results Based on the search criteria, 2896 citations were found. After removing duplicates and screening for relevance, 23 citations were finalized for full‐text review, of which 12 articles were excluded and 11 articles were included in the study. The average satisfaction of patients amongst the studies was found to be >90%. In all the studies, transient edema and erythema, post‐injection pain, and bruising were some temporary complications. Rare complications that were reported were vascular impairments and hematoma. Conclusions Non‐surgical rhinoplasty is a good, minimally invasive alternative over conventional rhinoplasty. There is however a paucity of quality data in the form of experimental and prospective studies regarding the accuracy, effectiveness, and complications of non‐surgical rhinoplasty.
Intellectual property rights such as Copyright, Trademark, Patents and Trade secrets etc. help us to gain some protection against certain inventions by acknowledging the founder. In today's industry it is agreed that Intellectual Property Rights has a big role to play. This current study envisages the knowledge, attitude, practice regarding Intellectual Property Rights among dental task force attending private dental colleges.The survey was conducted among students of which were Interns, Post Graduates, faculty members and other dental surgeons attending private dental colleges in Navi Mumbai. The subjects of this study comprised of a total of 1020 students, faculty members and other dental surgeons from five different private dental institutes. The survey includes closed ended questions. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software version 17. Explaining calculations were used to summarize all the answers. A total of 889 students, faculty and other dental surgeons from private dental colleges responded. Results showed that about 83.5% believe the statement “Articles and other publications are protected by copyright.” 66.6% of participants would select trademark in order to protect their clinic or organization name. About 38.7% were aware of the term Intellectual Property Rights. It also suggests that only 10.9% have attended any seminar/conference pertaining to IPR. The students and faculty members have an overall sense of eagerness to learn and gain more knowledge based on IPR. Thus conducting more workshops and seminars based on IPR should be encouraged.
BackgroundPsychosocial implications and effect on the quality of life of individuals due to alopecia are underestimated. This article aims at highlighting its public health ramifications by assessing the quality of life and various factors influencing it.MethodsA descriptive cross‐sectional study was conducted among 800 adult patients visiting four dermatological clinics in Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata and Bangalore. Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) scale and the Hair‐Specific Skindex‐29 (HSS‐29) scale were used. Demographic characteristics affecting alopecia were noted and Hamilton–Norwood and Ludwig's classification was used for baldness classification in males and females respectively. SPSS software analyzed the data. Descriptive analysis through frequency distribution was calculated. χ2 test was computed. Unpaired t‐test compared the responses of males and females. p‐values < 0.05 were considered significant.ResultsThe mean DQLI score were 14.57 ± 4.15 in females and 13.15 ± 3.18 in males. The mean HSS‐29 score for women (87.81 ± 15. 65) was significantly more than for men (77.81 ± 13. 28). The HSS‐29 index is further categorized into three domains. The “symptom” domain score for women was 19.89 ± 4.13 as opposed to 13.34 ± 2.86 of males. The “function” domain was more in males (34.71 ± 7.31) than females (32.74 ± 3.45). Women (35.18 ± 3.17) scored higher than men (29.76 ± 8. 83) in the “emotion” domain.ConclusionThe psychosocial impact of alopecia was greater in women than men. The mental health relevance and public health concern of alopecia need to be recognized and an inter‐disciplinary approach should be adopted for its resolution.
