This review discusses various strategies proposed to control COVID-19 and highlights challenges related to human and viral genetic variability but reports no new findings.

This study found that 1 mg/day low-dose oral minoxidil significantly increased hair count compared to 0.25 mg/day over 24 weeks in women with female pattern hair loss, though no differences were observed in hair-shedding and quality-of-life scores between the two doses.

This review hypothesizes that risperidone long-acting injectable may be linked to bullous pemphigoid in a bipolar patient, though current studies report mixed results.

This review concludes that anabolic–androgenic steroid abuse may lead to significant neurotoxicity, affecting brain structure, neurotransmitter systems, and increasing the risk of mood disorders and cognitive deficits.

This study found that using autologous ultra-thin split-thickness skin grafts from the scalp with the DermaBlade tool led to rapid wound healing, minimal complications, and improved cosmetic outcomes for 90% of patients with lower extremity lesions, without causing scarring or alopecia.

This paper reviews extraction methods for obtaining polysaccharides from brown macroalgae like Sargassum, highlighting their antiviral, antimicrobial, and antitumoral bioactivities in both in vivo and in vitro studies, while also discussing challenges in research and commercialization of Sargassum-based products.

This study observed that COVID-19 infection in cancer patients may worsen lung damage, leading to over a 50% reduction in lung volume and increased lung density due to scar tissue formation.

In this Italian retrospective study, ritlecitinib 50 mg/day showed effectiveness and good tolerability for treating severe alopecia areata over 24 weeks, achieving significant hair regrowth particularly in adolescents, as well as improvements in eyebrows, eyelashes, nails, and quality of life, with mostly mild adverse effects.

This review discusses various weight loss treatment options for managing PCOS in women, including lifestyle changes, diet, medications, and surgery, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, cancer patients aged 30 to 50 reported experiencing diagnostic delays, coping through self-advocacy, and facing stigma-related challenges such as alopecia. The authors concluded that improved physician awareness, tailored screening, and addressing stigma are essential for enhancing care for early-onset colorectal cancer patients.

This review examines AAS-related deaths and finds that anabolic-androgenic steroid abuse may lead to severe cardiac abnormalities, contributing to fatal arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death in young athletes and bodybuilders.

This study observed that scalp melanomas had worse outcomes than non-scalp head and neck melanomas, with a higher risk of recurrence and melanoma-specific death.

In this study, Ocoxin used alongside chemotherapy may improve patients' tolerance to treatment and their quality of life without significant safety concerns, although further research is needed.

This study found that extracts from Avicennia marina, Moringa oleifera, and Calotropis procera demonstrated strong antibacterial, antioxidant, and hair-growth-promoting properties, with A. marina showing the most pronounced effects.

This study found that, although finasteride reduced dihydrotestosterone levels in males with heavy episodic drinking, it did not significantly alter brain activation or craving but was linked to a stronger desire not to drink.

This review discusses the efficacy of Minoxidil and finasteride for treating androgenetic alopecia and suggests that combined therapy may offer superior results and improved patient adherence despite potential side effects.

This study reviewed the literature on Minoxidil and finasteride for androgenetic alopecia, finding both drugs effective but noting potential side effects, with combined therapy possibly enhancing efficacy and patient adherence while reducing adverse effects.

This study developed a deep-learning model that accurately diagnosed alopecia areata with an accuracy of 88.92% and distinguished its activity levels with an accuracy of 83.33%, highlighting the potential for artificial intelligence in improving the diagnosis and treatment of this autoimmune hair loss condition.

In this study, the combination of castor or cedar oils with high-frequency treatment was associated with the growth of new hair, improved hair density, and increased hair strand thickness among patients with androgenetic alopecia, although it did not significantly affect scalp oiliness.

This review discusses the repurposing of auranofin for oncological and non-oncological uses and highlights its early-stage clinical trial findings, suggesting further exploration of its therapeutic potential.

In this study, a 90-day course of a plant-based supplement significantly improved hair density, skin hydration, and nail growth among participants with dermatological concerns, while also reducing hair fall and pigmentation, without adverse effects.

This study found that ethosomes containing 30% ethanol slightly improved the targeting of dutasteride to hair follicles in vitro, with a higher targeting factor compared to dried ethosomes and controls after 24 hours on porcine skin.

This study found that women with chronic telogen effluvium had significantly lower levels of zinc, calcium, vitamin D, and ferritin compared to healthy women without hair loss, suggesting that monitoring and restoring these micronutrients may be crucial in managing this condition.

This study highlighted the potential of iron chelators, deferoxamine and deferiprone, to improve hair density, thickness, and elasticity and reduce hair loss by up to 66.8% over six months in individuals with autoimmune alopecia, suggesting they may offer a promising therapeutic option.

In this study, researchers observed that alopecia prevalence varies in gray bats throughout the summer, with higher rates in lactating females, who also exhibit more severe lesions, but found no link between subcutaneous mites and fur loss.

This study found that dutasteride-loaded transfersomes, compared to traditional liposomes, better target hair follicles by releasing the drug in a more controlled manner, as shown in vitro with enhanced follicular targeting (Tf = 0.32 versus 0.15, p < 0.005) using porcine ear skin.

This review synthesizes evidence on platelet-derived bioproducts like PRP and PRF, highlighting their role in tissue regeneration and their benefits in aesthetic medicine applications such as hair restoration, scar treatment, and wound healing.

In this study, researchers observed that pregnant women who were overweight or obese before pregnancy had lower iron concentrations in serum and hair, as well as lower dietary iron intake, during their first trimester compared to women with normal body weight.
