Insights Into Skin-Lightening Practices of Hijra and Transgender Communities in India

Insights Into Skin-Lightening Practices of Hijra and Transgender Communities in India

The combination of hydroquinone, mometasone, and tretinoin cream is a common, over-the-counter melasma treatment in India [9]. Glutathione injections, though popular and expensive, have questionable efficacy [10]. Some alternative, traditional remedy–based medications are often cheaper. Popular marketed beauty creams use ingredients like kojic acid, niacinamide, and arbutin, which have been studied for their effects on skin pigmentation and complexion [11].

Analyzing the Contents of a Large, Public Online Peer Support Forum for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: Thematic Analysis

Though these therapies are effective, an estimated 57% of people with OCD do not access treatment due to various barriers, such as financial or geographical constraints, a deficit of available therapists, and mental health stigma [8,9]. Peer support groups may encourage and help people with OCD better understand their condition and motivate them to identify, seek, and continue engaging in treatment [10].

Leveraging Digital Twins for Stratification of Patients with Breast Cancer and Treatment Optimization in Geriatric Oncology: Multivariate Clustering Analysis

Leveraging Digital Twins for Stratification of Patients with Breast Cancer and Treatment Optimization in Geriatric Oncology: Multivariate Clustering Analysis

However, treatment approaches for early-stage breast cancer in these older age groups are often inadequate and unclear, largely due to a lack of solid evidence and the unreliability of web-based tools for making decisions about additional therapies, leading to less than ideal treatment outcomes [4,5]. The treatment plan for breast cancer is tailored based on the cancer’s characteristics, the patients’ overall health status, and their personal preferences.

The Healing Through Ongoing Psychological Empowerment Telehealth Intervention With Two Spirit, Transgender, and Nonbinary Clients of Color in the United States: Open Clinical Trial Feasibility and Implementation Analysis

Exclusion criteria included (1) the presence of psychiatric symptoms requiring inpatient treatment (eg, active psychosis) and (2) ongoing individual psychotherapy outside of the study. We kept the inclusion and exclusion criteria minimal to enhance the generalizability of our findings. Once clients were screened and determined eligible for the study, they scheduled a 2-hour baseline session with study staff via a web-based platform.

Improving Access to and Delivery of Maternal Health Care Services to Prevent Postpartum Hemorrhage in Selected States in Nigeria: Human-Centered Design Study

The key lies in proactive prevention, underscoring the need to analyze PPH comprehensively to develop effective mitigation and treatment strategies. Although several interventions have been carried out to prevent PPH, such as assessing coverage, acceptability, and feasibility of a comprehensive program [11-14], these interventions were health facility-centered and overlooked the broader ecosystem of care.

The Prevalence and Incidence of Suicidal Thoughts and Behavior in a Smartphone-Delivered Treatment Trial for Body Dysmorphic Disorder: Cohort Study

The light-touch nature of many DMHIs presents issues for researchers designing treatment trials, who might wonder if they are safe for people with higher clinical acuity, such as those with past or current suicidal thoughts and behavior (STB), as past STBs are the strongest known risk factors for future suicide thoughts, attempt, and death [8,9] People with past and current STB are often excluded from treatment studies, including those testing DMHIs [6,10,11].

Treatment cohort studies conducted in the United States, Australia, and various European countries have shown the benefits of engaging in SUD treatment, generally resulting in increased abstinence rates, improved social integration, and reduced psychopathology [9-12]. Various SUD treatment modalities, however, seem to impact treatment outcomes in different ways.
