This study evaluated the antifungal activity of lemongrass oil in anti-dandruff gel shampoo formulations and found that a 10% lemongrass oil concentration was the most effective at inhibiting the growth of the dandruff-causing fungus Pityrosporum ovale.

5-alpha reductase inhibitors may cause sexual side effects, breast complications, and other health risks in men with hair loss.

This article reviews androgenetic alopecia and its genetic and hormonal influences, treatment options like minoxidil and finasteride, and its potential associations with other health conditions, reporting no new clinical results.

In this study, early-onset androgenetic alopecia patients showed a higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome and carotid atheromatosis compared to a control group, suggesting the need for cardiovascular risk screening in this population.

This case report describes a 19-year-old farmer who experienced difficulty breathing due to a fungal infection in the neck, successfully treated with antibiotics and antifungal medications.

This pharmacovigilance study analyzed FAERS data and found that finasteride is more frequently associated with neuropsychiatric reactions like depression and suicide risk, especially in younger men using it for alopecia, compared to dutasteride.

In this study, researchers evaluated different formulations of a nanoemulsion combining candlenut oil and virgin coconut oil on male rats and found that a 1:3 ratio yielded significant hair growth results, with an average hair length of 17.14 mm and a weight of 699.37 mg.

This article reviews the causes and current treatment options for androgenetic alopecia, reporting no new clinical findings and highlighting the need for more therapeutic choices.

This review discusses the potential benefits and challenges of using extracellular vesicles in aesthetic medicine but reports no new clinical results, highlighting the need for rigorous validation and stronger regulatory oversight.

This case study suggests that "celiac hepatitis" should be considered in patients with unexplained liver dysfunction, highlighting the importance of recognizing celiac disease to avoid misdiagnosis and allow reversal of liver abnormalities with proper treatment.

In this narrative review, researchers synthesized current evidence on topical metformin's potential benefits for various skin conditions, citing primarily preclinical studies that highlight its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and regenerative properties, although clinical translation requires further rigorous trials.

In this study, rice straw-derived smoke water enhanced root growth in rice plants by increasing root meristem size and cell proliferation, reducing superoxide accumulation under phosphorus deficiency, and altering internal phosphorus partitioning, although it suppressed root hair elongation, which affected phosphate uptake.

This study found that only a small percentage of alopecia areata patients treated with baricitinib in real-world settings would have met the eligibility criteria used in clinical trials.

This study found that extracts and crude protein from the white oyster mushroom demonstrated significant thrombolytic activity compared to a positive control, suggesting their potential as natural thrombolytic agents for thromboembolism therapy.

This study found that six months after bariatric surgery, Latvian patients experienced significant improvements in quality of life, weight loss, and resolution of some obesity-related symptoms, although hair loss was a common postoperative effect.

In this study, researchers found that gentamicin-loaded exosomes derived from a bovine leukocyte spleen extract significantly enhanced antimicrobial activity and tissue regeneration in infected diabetic wounds, showing potential as an effective therapeutic strategy for diabetic foot ulcers by improving infection control and promoting healing.

This study found that gentamicin-loaded exosomes derived from bovine leukocyte spleen extract enhanced antimicrobial activity and promoted tissue regeneration in infected diabetic mouse wounds, suggesting a potential innovative therapeutic strategy for diabetic foot ulcers by combining infection control with pro-regenerative and immunomodulatory effects.

In this study, gentamicin-loaded exosomes from a bovine leukocyte spleen extract were found to enhance tissue regeneration and antimicrobial activity, offering a promising therapeutic approach for infected diabetic foot ulcers by promoting wound healing and modulating inflammation in a diabetic mouse model.

This study developed the SAALIQ, a culturally adapted tool specifically for measuring quality of life in Spanish-speaking patients with alopecia areata, highlighting its strong psychometric performance and the benefit of capturing overlooked domains compared to generic measures.

This study found that in patients with severe alopecia areata, those who responded early to baricitinib treatment typically had a lower baseline Severity of Alopecia Tool score, shorter disease duration, and higher erythrocyte sedimentation rate, suggesting these factors may predict therapeutic success.

This study observed that the relationships between various criteria used to classify systemic lupus erythematosus are more consistent with chance than predictable patterns, although connections within the same organ domain are relevant.

This study found that patients with alopecia areata showing low treatment burden responded better to baricitinib compared to those with higher previous systemic treatment exposure.

This study found no significant differences in length of stay, mechanical ventilation use, or mortality between hospitalized bronchiectasis patients with and without obstructive sleep apnea.

In this study, researchers found that patients with alopecia areata displayed higher systemic inflammatory markers and lower vitamin D levels compared to healthy controls, yet they exhibited similar cardiovascular risk profiles, with no association between inflammation and cardiovascular risk or alopecia severity.

Alopecia areata is rare in organ transplant patients and may be linked to the drug tacrolimus.

This study found that baricitinib significantly reduced alopecia severity in JAK inhibitor-naïve patients compared to those previously treated with tofacitinib, indicating that switching JAK inhibitors can be safe and may be beneficial for selected patients with partial prior responses.

In this study, researchers observed that individuals with alopecia areata exhibited significant changes in scalp microbiota diversity and composition, which were linked to disease severity and inflammation markers, though it remains unclear if these microbial shifts are a cause or a result of hair loss.

This review outlines platelet-rich plasma practices for androgenetic alopecia at a large academic center and highlights the importance of standardizing PRP protocols to improve treatment outcomes, but it reports no new clinical results.
