Summary: The mental experience of our body has been extensively studied in various research fields. It is challenging to navigate and comprehend the relationships between different dimensions of bodily experiences due to the diversity of research approaches and conceptual frameworks. This narrative review proposes an integrative framework grounded in studies on consciousness and self-consciousness, providing a basis for evaluating findings on different aspects of bodily experiences.

Summary: This study compares the health-related quality of life between children with nasal septum deviation and healthy children controls. The results show that children with nasal septum deviation have significantly lower scores in various aspects, including physical fitness, social behavior, and self-esteem. This suggests that nasal septum deviation has an impact on both the physical and mental health of children.

Summary: There is mixed evidence on whether viewing body-positive content on social media can cultivate positive body image in women. This study examined the relationship between body-positive social media exposure and positive body image, with upward appearance comparisons and broad conceptualization of beauty as mediators. The findings showed that higher exposure to body-positive content on Instagram led to decreased body surveillance and increased body appreciation, mediated by lower engagement in upward appearance comparisons and a broader conceptualization of beauty.

Summary: This study comprehensively reviewed the effect of functional rhinoplasty on quality of life. A meta-analysis of 16 studies involving 971 patients showed that functional rhinoplasty statistically reduced the symptoms and improved the quality of life in patients. However, further research with larger sample sizes and higher quality studies is needed.

Summary: This study demonstrates that complementary music interventions can significantly improve the quality of life in head and neck patients during the postoperative period. Passive music intervention in patients undergoing septoplasty and rhinoplasty showed significant improvements in nasal obstruction symptoms and functional rhinoplasty outcomes at three postoperative visits. This intervention method is simple, cost-effective, and easily implemented.

Summary: This study evaluated a large set of blueberry cultivars to understand the relationship between mechanical texture and appearance characteristics at harvest and after storage, and tested multiple statistical models to predict shelf-life. The results showed that fruit characteristics measured at harvest or two weeks post-harvest can predict weight loss, texture change, and fruit wrinkling. These findings provide empirical data that blueberry breeders can use to select cultivars with extended shelf-life.

Summary: Septorhinoplasty (SRPL), functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS), and combined surgery all improve disease-specific quality of life (QoL). The improvements in QoL were slightly smaller in the combined surgery group compared to the single surgery groups.

Summary: This study aims to investigate the necessity of nostril retention after secondary unilateral cleft rhinoplasty. The results show that although relapse still occurred in all three groups, the nasal retainer group had a better effect on nostril height, while the nasal clip group showed significant improvement in nasal base ratio. However, wearing a nasal retainer may negatively influence the patients' quality of life.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the real-life benefit of bevacizumab in recurrent glioblastoma patients. The results showed significant improvements in overall survival, time to treatment failure, radiological response, and clinical benefit. Therefore, bevacizumab as a therapeutic option has clinical significance for these patients.

Summary: Pathological psychologies such as anxiety, depression, and body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) are common in female patients scheduled to undergo rhinoplasty. BDD is more likely to be associated with depression. Rhinoplasty has little psychological impact on patients, but female patients with BDD are more likely to be dissatisfied with the surgery.

Summary: This study analyzed complications following cosmetic surgeries managed by plastic surgery services at Heatherwood and Wexham Park hospitals in 2022, including procedures performed internationally. The majority of complications were related to breast cosmetic surgery and abdominoplasties, with the most common complications being wound dehiscence, post-operative infection, and seromas. Turkey was the most popular country selected for surgery, and there is a need to increase public awareness of the risks involved in seeking international options and how to choose suitable clinics.

Summary: The study aims to compare the oncologic, medical, and surgical outcomes of lumpectomy and oncoplastic breast reduction surgery (OBRS) on a national scale. A database was used to analyze patient data and match them based on various factors. The results showed that lumpectomy patients had higher rates of repeat lumpectomy or subsequent mastectomy, while OBRS patients had higher rates of surgical complications but fewer medical complications. Logistic regression analysis revealed that OBRS was associated with a decreased likelihood of repeat lumpectomy. Although OBRS was associated with increased wound complications, medical complications were found to occur less frequently.

Summary: This study evaluated different surgical approaches for neoumbilicoplasty and correlated them with specific surgical needs. The results showed that direct suture, single flap, and multiple flap techniques can achieve overall satisfactory cosmetic outcomes with a low rate of surgical complications. Different surgical techniques are suitable for different patient populations and surgical scenarios.
