Outcomes and Perceptions of Masculinizing Mammoplasty Among Transgender Men in Brazil.

Background: Transgender men often experience body image dissatisfaction due to incongruence between their gender identity and physical appearance. Masculinizing mammoplasty (MM) aligns physical appearance with gender identity; however, its impact on body image satisfaction in Brazil has not been comprehensively assessed using validated tools.

Objectives: To evaluate satisfaction with chest appearance, nipple aesthetics, and body investment among transgender men in Brazil, comparing those who have undergone MM with those who have not, using validated tools, such as the BODY-Q Chest, BODY-Q Nipple, and Body Investment Scale.

Impact of general practitioner appointment frequency on disease management in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients.

Aims: We investigated the association between the frequency of visits to general practitioners (GPs) and the degree of disease control in patients with T2DM.

Latent Profile Analysis of Fatigue Subtypes in Adults with Type 2 Diabetes.

Background: People with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) commonly report a higher fatigue intensity than the general population. However, effective fatigue management is lacking because little is known about other fatigue characteristics, including timing, distress, and quality, as well as the potential fatigue subtypes experienced in people with T2DM.

Objective: To describe fatigue intensity, timing, distress, and quality, and identify fatigue subtypes in people with T2DM.

Digitalization of health care in low- and middle-income countries.

The rising incidence of noncommunicable diseases, combined with the costs of mitigating climate change, sovereign debt and regional conflicts, is undermining global health security and threatening progress towards achieving the sustainable development goals of the United Nations. The negative impact of these polycrises is disproportionately borne by low- and middle-income countries, which have the highest disease burden and lowest health-care spending. Health digitalization is emerging as a promising countermeasure, accelerated by artificial intelligence (AI) software and quantum computing hardware.
