December 2024
Background: Aesthetic medicine has traditionally relied on clinical scales for the objective assessment of baseline appearance and treatment outcomes.

Objective: The consensus meeting aimed to establish guidelines for AI application in aesthetic medicine.

Article Synopsis
- - The winter of 2022/23 saw a significant rise in energy prices and living costs in Great Britain, leading to changes in household heating habits based on two surveys of about 5400 households.
- - Households lowered thermostat settings by about 1°C and were more likely to turn off heating when away, indicating a heightened effort to save energy during the cost-of-living crisis.
- - Challenges in staying warm and affording heating were linked to reduced well-being, emphasizing the relationship between poor housing conditions and mental health, while about 40% of respondents adjusted boiler settings, suggesting targeted information could influence behavior.
Background: Aging, influenced by intrinsic and extrinsic factors, leads to visible skin changes such as dryness, surface roughness, and loss of luminosity. Proper skin care can mitigate some of these effects, with topical combination products offering support through complementary mechanisms.
