This study found that supplementing arsenic-fed Black Bengal kids with vitamin E, alone or combined with yeast culture, partially ameliorated growth and reduced arsenic load in faeces, urine, and hair.

In this case report, a 40-year-old male with keratosis pilaris showed progressive improvement in skin texture and reduction of symptoms after individualized homoeopathic treatment with Arsenicum album 30C, but further studies are needed to assess its general effectiveness.

This study assessed mice's hematology and serum enzymes under sodium arsenite toxicity and observed that Aegle marmelos fruit extract reduced liver and kidney damage, mitigating the toxin's effects by maintaining normal enzyme levels when both were administered together.

This case report presents a patient with diabetes mellitus thought to be secondary to chronic arsenic exposure, highlighting the potential need to evaluate heavy metal toxicity in similar cases.

This review discusses fractionated reirradiation as a potential treatment for recurrent brain tumors in children and highlights ongoing challenges with managing craniospinal dissemination; it provides no new clinical results.

This research reports that arsenic trioxide achieved a complete remission rate of 87% in patients with relapsed acute promyelocytic leukemia, though its use involves manageable toxicities.

The 1891 epidemic skin disease was likely caused by arsenic poisoning, possibly from beer or fish.

In this study, researchers administered injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF) to 30 patients with androgenetic alopecia, finding an 80% response rate after 6 months, with improved hair density and reduced scalp symptoms, while reporting minimal adverse reactions.

This source highlights that arsenic exposure through contaminated groundwater is a significant global health risk, leading to skin and hair conditions such as pigmentation changes, skin irritation, alopecia, and can eventually result in skin cancer.

In this study, the combination of arsenic toxicity and hypoxia in Arabidopsis thaliana altered root development through stress-specific root growth phenotypes and changes in phosphate starvation response, energy metabolism, and redox signaling.

This study found that nuclear androgen receptors are not necessary for androgen self-administration, suggesting that plasma membrane receptors might be involved.

This review summarizes existing studies on toxic agents that can cause alopecia, with thallium and colchicine having the most established links, while others like botulinum toxin A need further investigation.

This study demonstrates that locally synthesized estrogen and androgen neurosteroids play opposite roles in long-term synaptic changes in male rats' medial vestibular nucleus, with testosterone-dihydrotestosterone mediating long-term depression and 17β-estradiol mediating long-term potentiation.
