In this report, the author summarized activities from a six-month internship in community and hospital pharmacy settings, exploring topics like skin microbiome health implications and advancements in antiviral therapy for Hepatitis B and D, highlighting the pharmacist's role in patient care and innovative treatments.

This study characterized the physical-chemical properties of Eclipta alba and identified compounds in the plant that could support its use in developing hair loss treatments.

In this pilot study, both tofacitinib and methotrexate improved alopecia areata outcomes, but tofacitinib showed greater efficacy in achieving significant SALT score improvement after 6 months, although the difference was not statistically significant.

This quality improvement initiative at Children’s Hospital of Orange County seeks to increase awareness and use of nonprofit pediatric wig programs by at least 50% over three months through educational interventions.

In this study of a Colombian sample, the researchers found that while sex, alopecia location, and symptoms aligned with global reports, age at presentation, tobacco use, and use of wigs and dyes were different from those noted in other countries.

This review highlights the possible role of T regulatory cells in the immune-related mechanisms of alopecia areata but reports no new clinical findings.

Alopecia areata patients often have eczema, thyroid issues, vitamin-D deficiency, and anemia.

This study found that in patients with genetic generalized epilepsies, certain gene variants were linked to differences in valproic acid treatment outcomes, including a higher likelihood of treatment failure, varying serum drug concentrations, and specific side effects like weight gain and hair loss.

This study observed a strong negative association between the HLA-DQB1*0201 allele and the alopecia totalis/alopecia universalis phenotype in Caucasian individuals, indicating a potential protective role.

Platelet-rich plasma does not improve recovery after Achilles tendon surgery.

This case report describes a rare instance of a Leydig cell tumor in a 35-year-old pregnant woman, discovered incidentally during a cesarean section. The tumor typically presents with symptoms of excess androgen, though it can range from asymptomatic to rapid virilization.

This study found a significant correlation between androgenic alopecia and metabolic syndrome, suggesting individuals with alopecia have higher odds of metabolic syndrome.

In this study, a 32-year-old female with alopecia areata experienced significant symptom relief after receiving traditional Ayurvedic treatments, including Virechana, Pracchana, and Rasayana therapies, alongside external application of Chakramarda. The protocol was reported to be simple, cost-effective, and highly efficacious.

In this study, centralised measurements provided more consistent and accurate results for assessing hair loss in mild-to-moderate alopecia areata, reducing error compared to local ratings.

This article discusses the concept of using a centralized forelock presented by Manny Marritt nearly 14 years ago, and reports no new clinical results.

The book "Practical Contact Dermatitis" is useful for dermatologists but could be more user-friendly.

This study used infrared spectroscopic imaging and scanning electron microscopy to reveal that alopecic hair has more irregular laminated structures and differing chemical profiles than normal hair, suggesting changes related to alopecia progression.

This report describes the enhancement of the French SNIIRAM/SNDS healthcare database through external data linkages, highlighting its potential use in medical research despite complexities in the integration process.

This study found that patients with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia preferred shared decision-making with their doctors regarding treatment management.

This study found that while educating healthcare providers significantly improved their knowledge of polycystic ovarian syndrome, it did not lead to better diagnosis or management outcomes in a free clinic setting.

This study found that women with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia had a substantial prevalence of systemic comorbidities, including strong associations with dyslipidemia, uterine leiomyomas, and anxiety disorders.

This article describes international efforts by dermatologists to launch and harmonize registries focused on COVID-19's dermatologic impacts, aiming for better global collaboration and data sharing.

This article examines the limitations of using large databases for epidemiological research, highlighting the risk of spurious associations due to data quality issues and insufficient adjustment for multiple comparisons, and reports no new results.

This research found that topical minoxidil may promote hair regrowth in alopecia areata by stimulating hair follicle epithelium and suppressing certain immune responses, with potential contributions from its vasodilatory effects.

The CSTAR registry, the largest in China for SLE, reports more than 25,000 patients registered since 2009, detailing demographics, clinical characteristics, and providing data for future studies.

This study explored dermatoscopic and histopathologic findings of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia beyond the vertex scalp, suggesting that dermatoscopy might serve as a less invasive diagnostic tool for subclinical disease.

In this case study, a 7-year-old Labrador with hypothyroidism and alopecia showed dramatic improvement and complete hair regrowth after two months of Levothyroxine and Ketoconazole treatment.
