Abstract: D URING MENOPAUSE , the decrease in endogenous estrogen level affects negatively the homeostasis of the estrogen target organs including the skin, which becomes more predisposed to develop the skin dryness (1), characterized by an increase in the transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and a decrease in the water content of the epidermis (WCE).To reduce skin disruption of postmenopausal women, hormone replacement therapy (1, 2), and topical application of estrogen (3), a beneficial effect in the improvement of skin h… Show more

Exaggerated anticipatory anxiety is common in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Neuroimaging studies have revealed altered neural activity in response to social stimuli in SAD, but fewer studies have examined neural activity during anticipation of feared social stimuli in SAD. The current study examined the time course and magnitude of activity in threat processing brain regions during speech anticipation in socially anxious individuals and healthy controls (HC). Method Participants (SAD n = 58; HC n = 16) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during which they completed a 90s control anticipation task and 90s speech anticipation task.

“…In some western European countries, such as Italy, topical argan oil has been recently launched in the market for the treatment of chronoaging and photoaging and as a moisturizer, particularly in postmenopausal women. 3 Only 1 case of allergic contact dermatitis caused by topical argan oil has been published. 4 Palmitic and stearic acids, the saturated fatty acids of oleic and linoleic acids, are present also in olive oil, which can seldom cause allergic contact dermatitis.…”

“…Some of these properties have been recently confirmed by scientific studies. Hence, the topical application of argan oil has induced an ameliorative effect on skin hydration after 2 months of treatment (Boucetta et al, 2013). The moisturizing/revitalizing effects and anti-hair loss activity of cosmetic argan oil compared to paraffin have been assessed on a panel of volunteers.…”
