This study found that reflexology massage significantly improved hair regrowth in women with chemotherapy-induced alopecia compared to those receiving usual care.

This study analyzed the cost-effectiveness of scalp cooling as a means of preventing chemotherapy-induced hair loss and found it to be financially reasonable compared to dermatologic management strategies, suggesting that it should be considered for routine insurance coverage due to its cost-effectiveness.

This study concluded that the combination 3 of the Nusa Tenggara Timur Ethnomedicinal Formula shows strong antioxidant activity and significantly increases hair follicle thickness in a chemotherapy-induced alopecia model in mice.

In this study, TS-13, an antioxidant, accelerated hair regrowth in a mouse model of chemotherapy-induced alopecia but did not completely prevent cyclophosphamide's hair loss effects, showing potential for mitigating such side effects without interfering with the drug's therapeutic action.

This review discusses advances in protecting against chemotherapy-induced alopecia and reports no new clinical results; calcitriol and cyclosporine A emerged as promising agents in animal models with broader efficacy across multiple chemotherapy drugs.

In this animal study, cedrol treatment reduced chemotherapy-induced alopecia in mice by preventing hair follicle damage, while minoxidil did not prevent alopecia under similar conditions.

This study will evaluate the clinical efficacy, patient-reported outcomes, and economic impact of the PAXMAN® PSCS 2 automated scalp cooling system versus standard cold-cap therapy to prevent chemotherapy-induced hair loss in women with localized breast cancer during anthracycline and taxane treatment.

This study highlights the need for targeted educational programs and better collaboration between dermatologists and oncologists to address knowledge gaps and improve patient care.

This review explores the possibility of using the side effects of chemotherapeutic agents for regenerating hair follicles, potentially offering a new treatment avenue for different types of alopecia.

This study found that over 80% of women treated with paclitaxel who used a hypothermic glycerin-based hydrogel cap preserved at least 50% of their initial hair volume, suggesting scalp cooling may effectively prevent chemotherapy-induced alopecia.

This study found that chemotherapy for breast cancer initially reduced hair density and anagen hair rate, which then returned to baseline or higher, whereas tamoxifen did not significantly affect hair growth.

These guidelines discuss prevention and management strategies for dermatological toxicities but report no new clinical results; they include expert recommendations for conditions like acneiform rash and hand-foot syndrome.

This study concluded that 5α-reductase inhibitors were associated with improved survival in men with bladder cancer, while α-blockers showed no effect.

This study suggests that combining 17-beta estradiol with prednisolone could accelerate hair regrowth after chemotherapy-induced alopecia in humans, based on preclinical findings using an in vitro model.

Alexander the Great's engineers built a causeway using a natural sand bridge, some tiger moths avoid bats by mimicking toxic relatives' sounds, early metabolism and RNA enzymes support the ancient RNA world theory, and vitamin D is crucial for hair growth and its absence can cause baldness.

This study found that healthcare workers with a positive COVID-19 test reported long COVID symptoms more frequently than negative controls, while prior physical activity was linked to reduced neurocognitive and fatigue symptoms.

This case report describes a 37-year-old woman who developed widespread hair loss following the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine, which mostly recovered after topical corticosteroid treatment.

This report describes two cases where topical squaric acid dibutylester application in alopecia totalis patients led to severe pustular lesions, necessitating systemic prednisolone treatment.

In this case report, a 41-year-old male developed myasthenia gravis following alopecia areata, with prednisolone and tacrolimus improving his symptoms; a literature review identified 29 reported cases of this comorbidity, with some showing additional autoimmune diseases, suggesting a shared immunological mechanism.

This study presented the case of an 81-year-old woman with 1-year history of scalp erosions and pustules, initially suspected to be infectious, but skin biopsy revealed impetiginized scale-crust, epidermal atrophy, dermal fibrosis, and mixed inflammatory infiltrate, leading to scarring alopecia.

This case report highlights that asymptomatic domestic cats can transmit Microsporum canis, leading to tinea capitis in humans, as seen in a four-year-old girl in the study.

This review discusses the effects of estrogens on skin aging and highlights the potential benefits of estrogen replacement therapy and selective estrogen receptor modulators for improving skin health in postmenopausal women, but reports no new clinical findings.

This meta-analysis found that dutasteride was more effective than finasteride in increasing hair count and improving photographic assessments for men with androgenetic alopecia, while both drugs had similar rates of sexual dysfunction-related adverse effects.

This study found that testosterone treatment in older hypogonadal men caused minor improvements in depressive symptoms and visuospatial memory, but overall, major cognitive benefits were not observed.

This study found that men with androgenetic alopecia have different scalp biophysical characteristics in androgen-sensitive areas compared to non-sensitive areas and healthy controls.

This study found that honokiol inhibits enzymes related to testosterone degradation in vitro, suggesting its potential as a lead compound for developing antiaging bioactive ingredients for men.

The authors concluded that treating onychomycosis is complex due to high reinfection rates and requires careful consideration of patients' individual needs, quality of life, and budget, apart from any potential financial incentives for clinicians.

This article highlights that understanding cultural practices, empathetic patient communication, and social implications can enhance counseling and treatment for pediatric and adolescent patients with skin of color experiencing common dermatological issues like acne, atopic dermatitis, and traction alopecia.

This report describes two cases of atypical Malassezia folliculitis in immunosuppressed patients, highlighting diagnostic challenges due to non-classical presentation in non-seborrheic areas.

This study highlights that dermatologists should be aware of the cultural norms of hair care in adolescents of color with textured hair, as these practices can influence acne distribution and treatment.
