This review discusses the wide range of drugs potentially causing reversible or irreversible hair loss and emphasizes the difficulty of diagnosing drug-induced alopecia without withdrawal of the suspected medication; it reports no new clinical findings.

This study demonstrated that certain metal salts can bind to sodium valproate and discussed the potential link to hair loss in patients treated for epilepsy.

This review comprehensively examines the Hibiscus rosa-sinensis plant, detailing its distribution, physical and chemical properties, bioactive compounds, ethnomedicinal uses, and potential toxicity, providing a broad understanding of its characteristics and health implications.

This study indicated that administering letrozole to Swiss albino mice may have anticonvulsant effects against kainic acid-induced seizures by inhibiting testosterone aromatization to 17β-estradiol and increasing anticonvulsant metabolites in the hippocampus.

In this animal study, agmatine exhibited a protective effect against seizures related to hormone fluctuations, with results suggesting that its anticonvulsant properties may involve interactions with central neurosteroids in female rats experiencing progesterone withdrawal.

This source reviews the traditional and ethnopharmacological uses of Adiantum capillus-veneris Linn (Maidenhair fern), noting its historical applications for ailments such as alopecia and skin disorders, and highlights its modern pharmacological effects, including anticonvulsant and anti-inflammatory properties, confirmed in recent research.

This study found that progesterone significantly delayed epileptogenesis development in a mouse model, and its effects were inhibited by finasteride, highlighting the potential role of neurosteroids in modifying epilepsy progression.

This study reports that valproic acid is effective in treating absence seizures and shows improvement in other types of seizures, though about 20% of patients experienced adverse effects.

This study found that letrozole, an aromatase inhibitor, reduced the incidence and severity of PTZ-induced kindling seizures in mice, potentially due to its effects on 17β-estradiol and neurosteroid synthesis.

In this rodent model study, the researchers reported that using low-intensity focused ultrasound with phenytoin enhanced its anti-epileptic efficacy by disrupting plasma protein binding in a region-specific manner, reducing seizure frequency and duration.

This study found that valproic acid may interfere with the leucine metabolic pathway by inhibiting 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase and biotinidase, which could contribute to side effects like skin rash and hair loss in patients.

This study observed that acute stress in rats increased neurosteroid levels linked to enhanced GABA(A) receptor function, raising seizure thresholds, while similar effects were seen in mice with deoxycorticosterone administration.

This study found that sodium valproate effectively controlled petit mal seizures in children resistant to other anticonvulsants but was less effective for other seizure types.

This review discusses the traditional and potential therapeutic uses of lavender, highlighting its possible anxiolytic and neuroprotective effects, but notes a lack of strong scientific evidence for many claimed benefits.

This study reported that sodium valproate completely stopped epilepsy in 43% of patients and reduced seizures by 50% in 22% of patients who were resistant to other anticonvulsants.

This study utilized the USFDA AERS to identify significant associations between various medications—such as anti-osteoporotic drugs and phenytoin—and gingival disorders, noting emergent signals with finasteride, COVID-19 vaccine, and levothyroxine, suggesting a need for awareness of oral side effects.

This study found that in Withdrawal Seizure-Prone mice, ethanol withdrawal decreased the sensitivity of GABA A receptors to GABAergic neurosteroids in certain areas of the brain.

This study found that midazolam, unlike clonazepam, increased neurosteroid levels and affected synaptic inhibition and plasticity in rat hippocampal neurons, suggesting unique actions via dual receptor activation.

This review indicates that sodium valproate might benefit diabetic peripheral neuropathy patients, but evidence is limited and inconsistent, so it should be reserved for treatment-resistant cases.

This study found that venous blood ammonia levels, particularly in patients taking valproate combined with other antiepileptic drugs, were significantly elevated compared to those on valproate alone.

This study reviewed various treatments for migraines and found that both classic medications, such as triptans and beta-blockers, and newer options like CGRP inhibitors, are effective, while non-pharmacological approaches provide moderate relief and are highly effective preventively, though accessibility can be an issue.

Lamotrigine can cause hair loss in some patients.

This study suggests that progesterone may have a complex role in absence epilepsy, facilitating seizures through conversion to allopregnanolone, but potentially reducing them during pregnancy.

This study found that sodium valproate effectively stopped or reduced seizures in patients with various types of epilepsy, with best results in absence and myoclonic seizures, though it caused temporary hair loss in some cases.

This review explores the potential role of pregnane neurosteroids in modulating alcohol withdrawal symptoms, suggesting a therapeutic target for treating alcohol dependence, but reports no new clinical results.

The researchers found that inhibiting soluble epoxide hydrolase, either genetically or pharmacologically, delayed the onset of chemically induced seizures related to GABA antagonism in experimental models.

This study identified compounds like hexadecanoic acid, alphaspinasterol, and squalene in Cucurbita pepo roots, which may offer new pharmacological approaches for developing therapies for various conditions.

This review explores the therapeutic potential and diverse pharmacological properties of the tree Tectona grandis, highlighting its anti-ulcerogenic, antihyperglycemic, antifungal, and other activities, as well as recent advancements in using its extracts for metal nanoparticle synthesis with antimicrobial applications.

This survey reports on the types and extraction factors of flavonoids in three aquatic plants from Iraqi marshlands but notes limited information on individual flavonoid profiles and their biological impacts.

This guideline discusses evidence-based recommendations for managing acute migraine attacks and preventing migraines, highlighting effective treatments such as NSAIDs and triptans but reports no new clinical findings.
