In this study, hair composted with various organic materials, and inoculated with Bacillus subtilis, showed improved degradation and nutrient release, but temperatures below 33℃ limited composting efficiency, suggesting bacterial augmentation could aid sustainable management of keratin-rich waste.

This article reviews the characteristics and treatment options for various dermatophyte infections, highlighting that systemic treatment is essential for tinea capitis while topical treatments are generally effective for other types.

This study provides quantitative evidence that secondary syphilis is highly endemic in Cali, Colombia, and many untreated patients have high numbers of circulating Treponema pallidum spirochetes.

In this study, a domestic cat diagnosed with scabiosis and Felicola subrostratus infestation was successfully treated with ivermectin, diphenhydramine, fish oil, sulfur soap, and topical fipronil, showing good treatment outcomes.

This study found that horses with inflammatory skin diseases had a higher prevalence of surface cocci and fungal poroconidia compared to those with healthy skin.

This systematic review suggests that botulinum toxin may be effective for treating certain scalp conditions, but the current evidence varies widely in quality and often derives from small observational studies.

This study found that inhibiting 5α-reductase in molluscs provokes a specific shell morphology, suggesting gastropods might have unique 5α-reductase substrates absent in vertebrates.

This study found that feeding piglets high levels of egg white led to severe biotin deficiency, causing hair loss and brittle claws, highlighting biotin's role in maintaining healthy skin and claws.

This research suggests that the barley protein RACB supports cell polarity functions rather than interfering with immunity, as it aids nucleus positioning during fungal attack rather than affecting early immune responses.

This article highlights that tinea capitis in adults is often misdiagnosed, leading to treatment delays, and suggests fungal testing for those unresponsive to seborrheic dermatitis or psoriasis treatments.

This study documented clinical cases of dermatophytosis in two free-ranging southern chamois in the Eastern Pyrenees, with Trichophyton mentagrophytes identified in both animals.

In this case report, long-term oral antibiotics were extremely effective in treating a 49-year-old man with a therapy-resistant botryomycosis infection on his forearm.

In this case study, a 55-year-old male farmer from Nepal with a kerion barbae in the beard region showed complete resolution after initiating oral itraconazole, highlighting the potential for misdiagnosis when bacterial superinfection complicates dermatophyte infections.

In this case report, a 2-year-old cat with bilateral otitis externa and scabiosis was treated with a combination of antiparasitic, antibiotic, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory medications, leading to significant clinical improvement after 10 days.

This review discusses the unique pharmacokinetic limitations of terbinafine in children with tinea capitis and reports no new clinical results, highlighting the need for consideration of these factors in future studies.

In this randomized, controlled, clinical trial, the researchers found that injectable botulinum toxin did not promote hair growth in men with androgenetic alopecia over 12 or 24 weeks, showing no benefit in improving hair density compared to placebo.

This study found that gQlab probiotics improved overall IBS symptoms, particularly in female and constipation-predominant patients, compared to placebo after 4 weeks of treatment.

This study reported a case where a 46-year-old woman developed alopecia without itching or pain on her scalp due to a cutaneous infection from *Mycobacterium abscessus*, which was resolved after three months of antibacterial treatment, resulting in new hair growth.

This study found that the weak tensile strength of pili torti hair may result from loose keratin intermediate filaments due to abnormalities in disulfide bonds.

In a Romanian wildlife rehabilitation center, this study reported that dermatophytosis affected northern white-breasted hedgehogs, with 77.4% of the 31 treated cases responding favorably to a 14-day itraconazole regimen, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and treatment.

This case report highlights that asymptomatic domestic cats can transmit Microsporum canis, leading to tinea capitis in humans, as seen in a four-year-old girl in the study.

This study found that asebic mice exhibit abnormal sebaceous gland differentiation and insufficient sebum production due to defective regulation of cell processes, despite possessing normally developing sebaceous glands initially.

This case report from Japan detailed a 10-year-old girl with alopecia successfully treated with daily terbinafine, identifying Trichophyton tonsurans as the causative fungus.

This study found that applying a formulation derived from Bacopa procumbens significantly promoted hair growth, pigmentation, and follicular cycle acceleration in mice compared to minoxidil, potentially offering a new therapeutic approach for hair health.

Gut microbiota influences the development of alopecia areata.

In this case report, a two-year-old girl with kerion type of tinea capitis successfully achieved clinical and mycologic cure with double pulse dose terbinafine and 2% ketoconazole shampoo over two months, with excellent tolerability and no side effects.
