This study in Ramgati, Bangladesh, found that coastal residents perceive extreme temperatures and high water salinity from climate change as causing various health issues, including heat-related illnesses and maternal health problems, with older individuals and those perceiving a higher risk more affected.
In this study, researchers characterized telogen effluvium observed in 14 patients following a dengue outbreak in Tainan, noting a mean onset time of 2.1 months post-infection.

This study found that injecting nu/nu mice with aqueous dispersion of unmodified fullerene C60 significantly stimulated hair growth compared to controls, suggesting its potential as a new therapeutic approach for alopecia.
In this study, the authors concluded that post-dengue telogen effluvium is a common but underdiagnosed condition causing temporary hairloss, primarily affecting young women, with significant emotional impacts such as anxiety and decreased self-esteem.
A 27-year-old male experienced rapid hairloss after dengue fever, which activated a balding gene. The doctor suggested platelet-rich plasma treatment for hair regrowth.
A 27-year-old shared a 90-day hairloss treatment update using Dutasteride, Minoxidil, Tretinoin, Ketoconazole, and microneedling, reporting positive results with improved hairline and density. They experienced minor side effects and noted a decrease in hair shedding.
A 25-year-old experiencing hair thinning all over the body and head, despite using minoxidil and having low vitamin D levels, is advised to seek a second opinion from a dermatologist specializing in hairloss. The likely diagnosis is diffuse alopecia areata, which may require treatment with a JAK inhibitor.
The user is experiencing continued hairloss despite using finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil, and is advised to improve diet, check for deficiencies, and consider other treatments like microneedling. Suggestions include sticking with the current regimen, considering a hair transplant, or accepting hairloss and shaving.
Hairloss may be linked to blood flow issues, but DHT is considered the main cause. Treatments used include finasteride, RU58841, minoxidil, vitamin D3, microneedling, and dutasteride, but hairloss persists.
Can too much vitamin A cause hairloss?Sustained vitamin A intake above the tolerable upper limit (3,000 mcg/day of retinol for adults) is linked in case reports to diffuse hair shedding; the claim that it amplifies DHT-driven hair loss has no published human evidence behind it.
Can a zinc deficiency directly cause hair thinning or increased shedding?Studies link low serum zinc to diffuse shedding and alopecia areata, and severe deficiency states cause hair loss that reverses when zinc is replaced. The evidence is mostly observational, the one supplementation study was small and uncontrolled, and zinc is not a treatment for pattern hair loss.
