Clinical and Dermoscopic Evaluation of Patients With Topical Steroid Damaged Faces (TSDF).

Background Topical steroid-dependent or damaged face (TSDF) is a common condition where the widespread availability of over-the-counter topical corticosteroid (TCS)-containing products leads to their misuse and addiction. Prolonged use of these steroids on the face can result in significant side effects. Early diagnosis and cessation of steroid use are important.

Effect of Furocyst on Lipid Profile and Insulin Resistance Across Different Categories of Body Mass Index in Women With Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS).

Introduction Insulin resistance is a fundamental factor in the pathogenesis of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and has been found to mediate a close association with obesity and dyslipidemia. While the anti-diabetic and anti-inflammatory properties of fenugreek seed extracts have been demonstrated, research on its anti-hyperlipidemic properties is still in its novice stage, with inconclusive evidence. The present study assessed the impact of fenugreek seed extracts rich in furostanolic saponins (Furocyst) on lipid profiles across different categories of body mass index (BMI) in women with PCOS.

Long-Term Outcome of Surgery for Grade 4 Gynecomastia: A Single-Center Experience.

 Gynecomastia results in a feminine appearance of the male chest, leading to social embarrassment and loss of self-esteem in the afflicted males. Grade 4 gynecomastia is expected to have less than perfect results with liposuction and gland excision alone. This study was done to assess the long-term outcome of this surgery for grade 4 gynecomastia.

Gynecomastia: The 4Dx technique.

In surgery for gynecomastia, it is not sufficient to just remove the gland or do a liposuction that addresses the front of the chest only as it is not aesthetically pleasing for the patient and the surgeon alike. Most patients expect to achieve a sculpted look, which includes not only the breast area but also the surrounding areas such as the sides, the axillae, and the infraclavicular region. To tackle these areas and achieve a well-sculpted and aesthetic look, we describe the 4Dx (4 Directions) technique of liposuction for gynecomastia.
