Influencer marketing on social media platforms has garnered considerable attention in recent years. This study focuses on beauty and fashion influencers on Instagram and examines how changes in the category of influencer posts, value of influencer posts, and levels of parasocial interaction (PSI) correlate with parasocial relationships (PSRs). A regression analysis of data from 215 influencers and 7285 posts in the Japanese market revealed that enhancing PSIs between influencers and followers is associated with stronger PSRs with followers. An increase in the value of an influencer's posts was also correlated with stronger PSRs. Furthermore, the interaction between an increase in the value of an influencer's posts and an increase in PSIs was significantly associated with stronger PSRs. Moreover, when PSIs intensify, an increase in posts that directly promote products, clothing coordination, and influencers' style introductions is positively and significantly correlated with the strength of PSRs between influencers and followers. Influencers can use these insights to develop strategies for effectively building stronger PSRs.

Background: As more plastic surgery clinicians pursue advanced degrees and strive to become stronger physician-scientists, an objective understanding of how such degrees influence careers becomes important. We hypothesized that having a master's degree is associated with higher scholarly activity, research funding, academic progression, and leadership appointments.
Methods: Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education-accredited integrated plastic surgery residency program Web sites were queried to create a data set of current academic plastic surgeons (APSs) and plastic surgery residents (PSRs).

Background: The mobile phone app, TrackYourStress (TYS), is a new crowdsensing mobile health platform for ecological momentary assessments of perceived stress levels.
Objective: In this pilot study, we aimed to investigate the time trend of stress levels while using TYS for the entire population being studied and whether the individuals' perceived stress reactivity moderates stress level changes while using TYS.
Methods: Using TYS, stress levels were measured repeatedly with the 4-item version of the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-4), and perceived stress reactivity was measured once with the Perceived Stress Reactivity Scale (PSRS).

Conflicts of interests resulting from interactions with pharmaceutical companies are pervasive in medicine and can result in an undue influence on physicians' decision-making. The objective of this systematic review is to analyze published and scientifically evaluated curricula for medical students and residents regarding such conflicts of interest. We begin by describing the covered topics and teaching methods; afterwards we analyze the quality of the curricula using the published data on their evaluations and comparing the content with content recommended for such curricula.

There are limited ambient air measurements of extended (beyond EPA Priority 16) lists of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). We measured air concentrations of 45 PAHs using passive and active air sampling at 15 sites in a central urban community and one rural site for two years. Passive sampling was conducted with cylindrical XAD-based samplers deployed to capture spatial variability.
