“…In the study conducteed by Stundzaite-Barsauskiene et al (2019), asnwers were sought for questions about the participants' face perception (FP), self-esteem (SE) and psychosocial wellbeing (PW) by applying facial anthropometry to a total of 90 adult patients and 30 people in the control group after nasal surgery in Vilnius University Hospital "Santaros Klinikos" Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Department and National Cancer Institute between 2007 and 2017. Here, clustering analysis was applied with the help of the SPSS 25 package program to compare the relationships between facial perception, self-esteem, and psychosocial well-being in patients after rhinoplasty due to trauma, cancer, and aesthetic needs.…”

Cluster analysis can be defined as the group of methods that aim to classify multivariate observations by using similarity/dissimilarity measures between observations. The clusters obtained as a result of the analysis are required to be homogeneous within themselves and heterogeneous among themselves. This study aims to cluster cancer types in datasets created by considering age group characteristics according to gender. In the study, clustering analysis was applied to four different datasets created from the data registered between 1982 and 2016 for 57 cancer types in men and women according to age groups at the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, and the analysis results were evaluated and interpreted. In addition, in determining the clustering method and the number of clusters, Cophenetic correlation coefficients and 26 cluster validity indices were used, respectively. The distribution of cancer types in age groups determined by gender was observed in 4 different datasets created with 3 different age group characteristics that led to the best separation of cancer groups, and the clustering tendencies of cancers in the relevant age groups were investigated. R-3.5.1 package program was used for analyses.In this study, the analysis results of the k-means method and the average linkage method, which was decided to be the most successful method due to the high cophenetic correlation coefficient value, were evaluated and interpreted. The number of clusters was determined as 3 with the help of cluster validity indices. When the results obtained are examined, it is seen that breast cancer in women and prostate cancer in men is the most common type of cancer in the age group of 40 and above, and that these cancers are alone in a cluster. In addition, it is seen that the 0-14 age group characteristic fails to separate the clusters.

“…are associated with improved self-esteem. [6][7][8][9] There are some traditional surgical methods for the reduction of abdominal adiposity. However, the methods are invasive techniques, which may present a high number of complications, such as bruising, seroma, pain, perforated organs and viscera, as well as with an increased risk of deep vein thrombosis.…”

Study protocol for the use of photobiomodulation with red or infrared LED on waist circumference reduction: a randomised, double-blind clinical trial

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

IntroductionThe search for non-invasive procedures to reduce localised adiposity in aesthetics clinics has recently been increasing. In this context, procedures, such as cryolipolysis, ultracavitation, photobiomodulation (PBM) and other techniques have been proposed. Some studies have shown that PBM can be used in body contouring. However, there is no standardisation of the protocol. More than that, as in other techniques for reducing adipose tissue, the availability of triacylglycerol may affect the lipid profile in the blood, bringing consequences to the general health of an individual. This work will aim to compare the light wavelengths when using PBM as a technique for reducing the abdominal waist circumference, while also evaluating the efficacy of the method. Changes in the lipid profile in the blood, with a long-term follow-up, will also be appraised.Methods and analysisThis will be a controlled, randomised, double-blind, single-centred clinical trial. 174 patients will be recruited at the Nove de Julho University, Brazil, and then divided into three groups: Group A—RED PBM; Group B—INFRARED PBM; Group C—PLACEBO (Sham) treatment. The treatments will consist of eight sessions, two times a week, for 4 weeks. At each session, the participants will receive 30 minutes PBM (using a radiant exposure of 127 J/cm2), with an abdominal strap containing 4 LED clusters, with 72 devices each, following the indication of randomisation. All of the groups will receive 30 min of Aussie Current, at 4 kHz, modulated at 10 Hz, 40–60 mA. The main outcome of this study will be waist circumference reduction. The secondary variables will be anthropometric data, lipid profile, liver function and adipose tissue thickness, changes in the local microcirculation, and the quality of life and self-esteem. The analyses will be performed at four stages of the research, D0, end of the eighth session (D30), 15 days after the last session (FU15), 90 days after the last session (FU90) and 180 days after the last session (FU180).Ethics and disseminationThe Ethics Committee of the Nove de Julho University, Brazil, approved the modified version of this project under No. 3414146 on 26 June 2019. This study is not yet recruiting. The results obtained will be published in a peer-reviewed journal in the related field.Trial registration numberBrazilian Registry of Clinical Trials—ReBec (RBR-9bwxcx).

Background Cosmetic Rhinoplasty is one of the most common facial plastic surgeries. Recognition of patients with psychological problems may affect the outcome of surgery. Carefully chosen cases may improve the patients’ well-being. Objective To analyze the existing literature for clinical studies and investigate the psychological implications and Quality of Life after Cosmetic rhinoplasty. Methods A comprehensive review of the literature was performed using PubMed, Google Scholar, Mendeley and FindIt@MSP were searched between 2008 and 2023 in English text only. Included articles assessed the comparison between preoperative and postoperative psychological outcomes of cosmetic rhinoplasty as well as impact on QOL. Results Of the 53 articles selected for screening, 16 were identified as meeting the inclusion criteria. Based on the literature, surgical intervention appears to have a positive effect on various psychological factors such as self-esteem, body image, depression, and anxiety. Additionally, evidence suggests significant improvements in QOL, mental health, social function, and postoperative satisfaction, accompanied by a reduction in psycho-social distress. Limitations Factors such as monetary incentives for participation, lack of blinding, and self-reported measures within studies decrease the validity of results. Additionally, in some of the studies examined, there was an inability to isolate rhinoplasty procedures performed solely for cosmetic concerns. Conclusions Cosmetic rhinoplasty has been long regarded as a transformative intervention with beneficial effects on self-esteem, body image, and mental well-being, encompassing reductions in depression and anxiety. The present study highlights the substantial improvements in QOL and social functioning post-rhinoplasty, accompanied by heightened overall satisfaction with appearance and diminished levels of psycho-social distress. These findings contribute valuable insights into the broader implications of cosmetic rhinoplasty beyond physical changes, emphasizing its potential for positively influencing psychological and emotional well-being.
