This review discusses the role of mental healthcare in managing sexual side effects of prostate cancer radiotherapy and highlights the importance of patient education and psychological support for improved quality of life.

This article reviews the cultural, historical, and marketing influences driving female pubic hair removal and argues it is socially seen as normative for aesthetic, hygienic, erotic, and self-image reasons.

This review highlights the potential of self-powered nanogenerators in revolutionizing biomedical devices by using biomechanical or environmental energy, focusing on applications like regenerative hair growth, drug release patches, and electronic skin while evaluating challenges such as energy efficiency and biocompatibility.

This study found that a five-dimensional model of personality perception from men's facial photographs better captures the complexity of face perception than the traditional two-dimensional Valence-Dominance model, highlighting overlaps with personality structures known from differential psychology.

This study provides a comprehensive review of Ayurvedic insights into Darunaka, suggesting that its management principles can still improve quality of life by addressing underlying pathophysiology.

This literature review reports prevalent sexual dysfunctions, notably vaginal dryness, in women undergoing endocrine therapy for hormone-dependent breast cancer, highlighting the need for more multidisciplinary research and care to improve patient well-being.

This review explores the risk factors, associated comorbidities, and psychological impacts of early-onset androgenetic alopecia, highlighting its complexity and potential implications for treatment response and overall health.

This study found that rigid perfectionism in men was associated with higher levels of baldness distress, with anxiety about physical aging partially mediating this relationship, regardless of age, level of baldness, cultural context, or racial identity.

This study reported a high prevalence of dermatological conditions among university students in Sri Lanka, with self-reported acne being the most common and associated with significant psychological distress; more than half of the participants consulted a doctor for their skin issues.

This review discusses the potential of nanocarriers to enhance transdermal drug delivery and the combination of these carriers with physical methods, but it reports no new experimental results.
