Quantitative Analysis of Enhanced Selfies in a Young Adult Population.

The use of filters and editing tools for perfecting selfies is increasing. While some aesthetic experts have touted the ability of this technology to help patients convey their aesthetic goals, others have expressed concerns about the unrealistic expectations that may come from the ability for individuals to digitally alter their own photos in these so-called "super-selfies." The aim of the study is to determine the changes that individuals seek when enhancing selfies.

Differences in perceptions of beauty and cosmetic procedures performed in ethnic patients.

The United States has become progressively more multicultural, with the ethnic population growing at record rates. The US Census Bureau projects that, by the year 2056, greater than 50% of the US population will be of non-Caucasian descent. Ethnic patients have different cosmetic concerns and natural features that are unique.

Genital duplex Doppler ultrasonography before and after sexual stimulation in women with sexual dysfunction: gray scale, volumetric, and hemodynamic findings.

Objective: To report gray scale, volumetric, and duplex ultrasound data before and after sexual stimulation in a large population of women with sexual dysfunction.

Design: Retrospective review of women with sexual dysfunction.

Setting: An academic center.

Serum androgen levels in healthy premenopausal women with and without sexual dysfunction: Part A. Serum androgen levels in women aged 20-49 years with no complaints of sexual dysfunction.

Androgen insufficiency is a recognized cause of sexual dysfunction in men and women. Age-related decrements in adrenal and gonadal androgen levels also occur naturally in both sexes. At present, it is unclear if a woman's low serum androgen level is a reflection of the expected normal age-related decline or indicative of an underlying androgen-deficient state.

Serum androgen levels in healthy premenopausal women with and without sexual dysfunction: Part B: Reduced serum androgen levels in healthy premenopausal women with complaints of sexual dysfunction.

Androgen insufficiency has been associated with decreased libido and arousal in postmenopausal women, but rarely has been evaluated in healthy premenopausal women. In all, 32 healthy premenopausal women were enrolled in this study, 18 with one or more complaints of sexual dysfunction and 14 without. Assays of ovarian and adrenal androgens were measured before and after ACTH stimulation.
