In a study using diabetic rats, researchers found that oral empagliflozin accelerated wound healing by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress, indicating potential benefits beyond blood sugar control for managing diabetic wounds.

This report presents the first known case of ulerythema ophryogenes in a 28-year-old male in Saudi Arabia.

This case report describes the first known instance of hair loss linked to agomelatine, which resolved after the drug was discontinued.

This case report describes an adolescent with coeliac disease presenting severe hypercalcaemia from a parathyroid adenoma, suggesting possible links between coeliac disease and hyperparathyroidism.

In this retrospective study of eight Saudi children with hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets, researchers observed that adjunctive cinacalcet appeared safe and showed initial promise in improving serum PTH levels, though further investigation is needed to confirm its efficacy.

This study found that taking Vitamin D supplements may be associated with a higher risk of hyperpigmentation after laser hair removal.

In this study, Makarova et al. found that topical vitamin D3 significantly delayed basal cell carcinoma development in UVR-exposed, BCC-prone mice, while oral vitamin D3 supplements did not prevent carcinogenesis, suggesting a potential role of UV-induced vitamin D3 in inhibiting tumor growth.

This case study reports co-localized vitiligo and alopecia areata on the scalp of a 33-year-old Indian male, with marked improvement following intralesional corticosteroid treatment, suggesting a shared autoimmune pathogenesis.

In this study, topical finasteride showed mild-to-moderate improvement in androgenetic alopecia among a cohort in Saudi Arabia, with combination therapy outperforming monotherapy. Adverse events were rare. The study highlights the need for prospective trials to clarify finasteride's standalone effects.

In this study, nearly two-thirds of Saudi adults reported experiencing hair loss following COVID-19 infection or vaccination, with female sex and nutritional deficiencies identified as significant correlates for this condition.

This study determined that low-level light therapy and fractional lasers are effective and safe treatments for androgenetic alopecia, especially when combined with other agents like minoxidil, PRP, or growth factors.

This study found that autologous growth factor injections for androgenetic alopecia improved hair density, thickness, and patient satisfaction over 12 months; however, high bias risk and non-standardized methods limit the evidence's reliability, highlighting the need for larger, standardized trials.

This study reviewed multiple research articles and found that patients with telogen effluvium, primarily women, had significantly lower levels of serum ferritin and vitamin D compared to healthy controls, suggesting a role for trace element imbalances in hair loss.

This review highlights the potential of microalgae as sustainable sources for nutraceuticals and cosmeceuticals, emphasizing their applications in functional foods, dietary supplements, and cosmetics for roles such as anti-aging and photoprotection in alignment with sustainability principles.

This systematic review found that exosome-based therapies significantly improve skin elasticity, reduce wrinkle depth, enhance hydration, and modulate pigmentation, with minimal adverse events reported across multiple studies. However, further clinical trials are necessary to confirm long-term efficacy and safety.

This study reports a case of traumatic anserine folliculosis in a young male, where treatment with topical retinoids and keratolytics combined with avoiding friction significantly improved symptoms after nine months.

This systematic review found that intralesional dutasteride treatments for androgenic alopecia in adults improved hair density and thickness with minimal adverse effects, although study methodologies varied and lacked large-scale trials.

This study reviewed 18 studies on the effects of ustekinumab and vedolizumab on alopecia in ulcerative colitis patients, finding varied outcomes ranging from significant hair regrowth to increased hair loss, with 65.5% experiencing regrowth and potential therapy benefits needing further exploration in larger trials.

This review found that microinfusion of medications using tattoo devices (MMP®) shows potential as a minimally invasive method for treating ailments like alopecia and basal cell carcinoma, offering notable improvements with minimal side effects due to localized drug delivery.

This review discusses the potential of platelet-rich plasma and exosome-based therapies for treating various types of alopecia, highlighting their promise but noting the need for more research on standardization and efficacy.

This study observed that premature hair graying was more prevalent among obese individuals, those with vitamin B12 and D deficiencies, smokers, and people with high stress, regardless of whether they were medical or non-medical students at a university in Saudi Arabia.

This systematic review and meta-analysis found that adding low-level laser therapy to minoxidil treatment for androgenic alopecia does not significantly enhance hair count or diameter compared to using minoxidil alone.

This study observed that 69.9% of postmenopausal women in Saudi Arabia experienced female pattern hair loss, significantly linked to early menopause, chronic diseases, family history, and stress, and found this condition also impacts women's self-confidence and social interactions.

This study explored androgenetic alopecia in a large Saudi sample, finding that onset often occurs in youth, with strong family aggregation and minimal use of treatments like minoxidil, despite high rates of hair shedding during combing, especially among women.

This systematic review found that combining fractional photothermolysis with topical minoxidil significantly increased hair diameter compared to minoxidil alone in androgenetic alopecia treatment.

This research review found that spironolactone can significantly improve acne severity more effectively than a placebo, with 73.3% of patients reporting satisfaction despite a 26.7% rate of adverse events among the 1,548 participants studied.

This review outlines recent progress in CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing, discussing its structure, mechanisms, and the use of genetic, chemical, and physical strategies to enhance precision and reduce off-target effects despite some persistent challenges for clinical application.

This study reviewed cases of filler-induced alopecia and found that hyaluronic acid injections were most commonly associated with this condition, highlighting that hyaluronidase treatments can rapidly restore hair density, while alternative interventions need further exploration.
