Summary
Social media data reveals patient emotions and motivations in plastic surgery. Artificial intelligence can predict successful procedures and products by analyzing this data.
Area of Science:
- Plastic Surgery
- Artificial Intelligence
- Social Media Analytics
Background:
- Social media is a vast, untapped resource for plastic surgery research.
- Understanding patient emotions and motivations is key to educational research in this field.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify plastic surgery topics that elicit significant emotional responses.
- To assess the utility of artificial intelligence in analyzing patient motivations within plastic surgery.
Main Methods:
- Utilized artificial intelligence (AI) technology from Cognovi Labs over a 4-month period (January-April 2018).
- Analyzed emotional reactions to commonly hashtagged plastic surgery terms using metrics like awareness, engagement, and motivation.
Main Results:
- 'Nose job' had the highest awareness; 'liposuction' generated the most emotional engagement.
- Consumers showed highest motivation for 'plastic surgery' and 'cosmetic surgery', lowest for 'tummy tucks'.
Conclusions:
- This study represents the first quantitative use of social media data to interpret patient motivations in plastic surgery.
- AI technology can predict successful plastic surgery products, procedures, and practices by analyzing social media data.

The term "intelligence" is complex because it refers to both behavior and individuals, and its interpretation varies across cultures. European Americans tend to link intelligence with reasoning and cognitive skills, while in Kenya, it is tied to responsible participation in family and social life. In Uganda, intelligence is seen as the ability to know the right actions and carry them out effectively, while the Iatmul people of Papua New Guinea associate it with the capacity to remember...

01:31Plasticizers
352
Water-reducers, or plasticizers, are chemical admixtures used in concrete to improve strength and workability. These additives reduce the water-cement ratio without compromising workability, lower the cement content while maintaining the same workability, or increase workability to assist concrete placement in inaccessible areas.
Plasticizers function by using surface-active agents to create repulsive electrostatic forces between cement particles. This dispersion enhances the concrete's...

3.0K
Plasticity is the property where an object loses its elasticity and undergoes irreversible deformation, even after the deformation forces are eliminated. If a material deforms irreversibly without increasing stress or load, then this is called ideal plasticity. For example, when a force is applied to an aluminum rod, it changes its shape, but it does not return to its original shape once the force is removed. Plastic deformation or ductility is thus a permanent deformation or change in the...

3.2K
The physiology of emotions is a multifaceted process involving the autonomic nervous system, brain structures, hormones, and neurotransmitters. This intricate interplay dictates how emotions manifest in the body and influence behavior.
Autonomic Nervous System
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) plays a critical role in emotional responses by regulating involuntary physiological functions. It consists of two main components: the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. The sympathetic system...

Emotional expression encompasses how individuals convey their emotions through verbal communication and non-verbal cues. These non-verbal actions include facial expressions, body language, and physical gestures, such as frowning or smiling. Among these, facial expressions play a crucial role in emotional expression and are understood universally, indicating a biological basis for how humans communicate emotions.

01:21Plastic Behavior
531
A material's elastic behavior is characterized by the disappearance of stress once the load is removed, allowing the material to return to its original state. However, when stress surpasses the yield point, yielding commences, marking the onset of plastic deformation or permanent set. This change from elastic to plastic behavior is influenced by the peak stress value and the duration before the load is removed. An intriguing observation occurs when a specimen is loaded, unloaded, and...
