This study observed elevated serum homocysteine levels in patients with psoriasis and cutaneous-oral lichen planus compared to healthy controls, but found no significant difference between the two patient groups.

This chapter discusses various substances and therapies for dermatological applications, including heliotherapy, UVB, khellin, and others, but reports no new research findings.

This article discusses the effectiveness of adrenal cortex compounds E and F in treating connective tissue disorders like rheumatoid arthritis and lupus erythematosus, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that vitamin D, calcium, iron, and ferritin significantly correlate with alopecia in both genders, while zinc, B12, folic acid, and TSH correlate only in males.

This study found that a combination of oral compounds improved metabolic activity, cell viability, and proliferation in hair follicular keratinocytes, with L-cystine playing a key role in protection against oxidative stress.

This narrative review suggests that nutraceutical insulin-sensitizing agents like myo-inositol, alpha-lipoic acid, and vitamins may improve glycemic control and reduce inflammation in insulin resistance-related skin disorders; however, more robust long-term trials are needed to confirm these findings and establish treatment regimens.

This study found that various reduced folates effectively penetrated an in vitro skin model, promoted cell proliferation and migration, and may enhance wound healing, suggesting potential for topical treatment in skin conditions.

This review concludes that methotrexate remains an effective and safe first-line treatment for various inflammatory and immune-mediated skin conditions in children, despite the rise of biologic therapies.

This study found that expert consensus endorsed myo-inositol, alone or combined with folic acid and vitamin D₃, as an effective, well-tolerated option for managing acne and hirsutism in PCOS.

This case report describes the first known instance of alopecia associated with multicentric reticulohistiocytosis, evidenced by scalp biopsy findings of histiocyte infiltration in a 52-year-old woman.

This study found that hair loss after metabolic and bariatric surgery peaks at 3 months and improves by 6 months, with iron deficiency and female sex being strong predictors of hair loss.

In this study, researchers found that combining advanced physiotherapy and specialized dermacosmetics in patients with androgenetic alopecia significantly improved metabolic markers, increasing serum zinc, copper, folic acid, and vitamin D levels more than standard treatments.

This narrative review assesses evidence on the role of oral supplements in reducing common side effects caused by isotretinoin treatment for acne vulgaris, with the aim of providing guidance for enhancing treatment tolerability.

This review examines the pathophysiology of PCOS and reports that myoinositol may improve menstrual regularity, insulin sensitivity, and reproductive outcomes, with comparable efficacy to metformin and often better tolerability.

This study found that pregnant women with rheumatic diseases had sufficient energy and macronutrient intake, but showed a high prevalence of overweight and obesity, with selenium intake exceeding safe levels, which may lead to potential side effects.

The study developed herbal hair gummies using ingredients like fenugreek, amla, and bhringraj, alongside folic acid, zinc, and biotin, concluding they are palatable, meet quality standards, exhibit antioxidant properties, and may effectively enhance hair growth and reduce hair loss.

In this case report, a 53-year-old woman with Little-Graham-Piccardi-Lassueur-Syndrome responded well to a treatment regimen of hydroxychloroquine, methotrexate, and other therapies, effectively halting the progression of this rare dermatosis characterized by alopecia and hyperkeratotic eruptions.

This review found that hair loss is common in women after bariatric surgery, linked to nutritional deficiencies and rapid weight loss, highlighting the need for further research and nutrient monitoring.

In this case report, a mother and daughter with celiac disease experienced hair loss as their primary or initial extraintestinal symptom, highlighting the potential link between celiac disease and alopecia.

This chapter reviews hormonal imbalances and related disorders, discussing nutraceuticals—such as cod liver oil, green tea, and Omega-3s—that may alleviate symptoms and improve hormonal fluxes in lieu of traditional synthetic treatments that have potential side effects.

In this case report, the authors describe the first documented occurrence of new-onset hypocortisolism after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in a patient, highlighting the need for awareness of this condition among clinicians when patients present with nonspecific symptoms post-bariatric surgery.

In this study, hemoglobin levels were the only marker positively correlated with anagen hair ratios in patients with telogen effluvium, suggesting it may be a cost-effective initial test for management.

This study of South Indian patients with autoimmune rheumatic diseases using low-dose methotrexate reported that while mild adverse effects such as hair loss and nausea were common, serious events like cytopenia were less frequent, and folic acid supplementation significantly reduced their prevalence.

This study found that providing quality pharmaceutical care is crucial for safe and effective use of vitamin and mineral supplements during pregnancy and breastfeeding, as many women incorrectly perceive them as entirely safe.

In this study, a high inositol diet, with or without supplements, significantly improved androgen levels, insulin sensitivity, and certain metabolic indicators in women with PCOS over three months.

This study found that new folate salts in aqueous and lipophilic solutions can penetrate skin and enhance wound healing in vitro by converting metabolically, suggesting their potential for topical application.

This case report documents a 44-year-old female with Down's syndrome who was diagnosed with both rheumatoid arthritis and gouty arthritis, highlighting her specific clinical presentation and treatment regimen.

This study found that redhaired individuals consistently had higher calcidiol levels compared to non-redhaired subjects, suggesting a physiological adaptation for vitamin D synthesis in low UV-B conditions.

Combination therapies might work better for some vitiligo patients, but results vary.

This study found that redhaired individuals exhibit higher calcidiol levels compared to non-redhaired individuals, suggesting a possible evolutionary adaptation for vitamin D photosynthesis in low UV-B environments in Europe.
