This review discusses treatments for demodicosis in adults and children and provides no new clinical results; the authors emphasize the need for careful diagnosis and therapy selection.

This study found that crosslinking buffalo gelatin with different methods can modify its properties and potential as a skin substitute, though double-crosslinking may increase immunogenicity slightly.

Platelet-rich plasma does not improve recovery after Achilles tendon surgery.

In this review, several studies on Astragalus species, particularly Astragalus membranaceus, highlight their skin rejuvenating, photoprotective, antimicrobial, and wound-healing properties, though the authors note limitations due to reliance on non-human studies and short trial durations.

In this case report, a 17-year-old female with symptoms such as vaginal bleeding and weight loss was diagnosed with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, emphasizing the importance of considering hematological malignancies in young patients with unusual presentations, as early diagnosis can significantly improve outcomes.

This case report describes a novel association between uncombable hair syndrome and Zellweger syndrome due to a homozygous mutation in the PEX12 gene.

This study found that low dose valproate monotherapy in epileptic children commonly leads to side-effects like weight gain and decreased appetite, especially among younger patients.

This review found promising benefits of platelet-rich plasma for treating ocular surface diseases in animals, but methodological flaws currently preclude recommending it as standard care.

In this preclinical study, PA-011 derived from Periplaneta americana showed significant hair regrowth effects in androgenetic alopecia mouse models by inhibiting inflammation and oxidative stress, activating hair follicle stem cell proliferation, and normalizing skin microbiota, suggesting promise as an AGA treatment.

This systematic review observed that a significant number of COVID-19 patients report long-term symptoms, including neurologic complaints and chronic fatigue, highlighting the presence of "post-COVID syndrome.

This review explores the potential impact of nutrition on immune-mediated inflammatory skin diseases and evaluates whether dietary changes could help in treatment planning, but it presents no new clinical outcomes.

This review discusses the strengths and weaknesses of existing studies on complex dietary supplements for hair loss, emphasizing the need for valid measurement methods like TrichoScale® to quantify effectiveness; it reports no new results.

This study found that 18 mg melatonin implants did not significantly prevent recurrence of canine flank alopecia compared to placebo in dogs, though the treatment was well-tolerated, with no evidence of improved efficacy.

This study reported that a single treatment using macrofocused ultrasound energy with a 2 mm transducer significantly reduced pore count, pore volume, and pore index in 34 Thai subjects with enlarged facial pores over a 6-month period, with no adverse events observed.

Single-needle radiofrequency is effective and safe for treating facial sebaceous hyperplasia.

This review reports that collagen as a nutraceutical shows promising results for improving skin health in estrogen-deficient women, but more research is needed for scalp hair, nail health, and optimal dosing of curcumin and glutathione.

In this study, the combination of topical minoxidil and betamethasone was found to be more effective for hair regrowth and patient satisfaction in alopecia areata patients compared to betamethasone alone or with herbal oils, though further randomized trials are recommended.

This study found that hair follicles play a significant role in regulating skin barrier function, with disruptions in the upper hair follicle affecting the epidermis, influencing processes like desquamation and sebum release, and leading to cell movement into the epidermis.

In this study, inducible whole-body Acly-knockout mice revealed that ACLY is essential for skin homeostasis, as its deficiency led to increased sebum production and skin abnormalities, indicating a vital role for cytosolic acetyl-CoA synthesis in preserving skin barrier integrity and systemic lipid regulation.

This chapter reviews keratins in skin epithelia, including their roles in cellular function and disease, and reports no new experimental results.

This study indicates that ABCG2 expression identifies interfollicular keratinocyte progenitor cells in human epidermis and suggests it could help enrich these stem cells for research and treatment.

This review discusses the role and interactions of the calcium-binding protein S100A6 in cellular processes and its association with various diseases, highlighting the need for further research to fully understand its biological impact.

This review discusses the off-label uses of retinoids in dermatology, focusing on oral isotretinoin and acitretin, and reports no new clinical results.

This ex vivo study reported that melatonin significantly improved certain aging biomarkers in aged human skin, including reduced mTORC1 activity, increased fibrillin-1, and enhanced collagen and elastic fiber organization, though other key biomarkers remained unchanged.

This review reports that botulinum toxin is used in dermatology not only for treating rhytides but also for conditions like rosacea, hyperhidrosis, and menopause-related flushing, although its full safety and efficacy profile requires more research.

In this study, topical methyl vanillate application increased hair count and hair mass index in women with androgenetic alopecia by enhancing WNT10B expression, suggesting a potential new treatment strategy.
