May 2025 in “Afyon Kocatepe University Journal of Sciences and Engineering” The researchers monitored various pollutants in real cosmetics industry wastewater and reported high removal efficiencies for parameters like Chemical Oxygen Demand and heavy metals through coagulation-flocculation, yet suggested that more effective COD treatment alternatives are necessary to better protect the environment and human health.
May 2025 in “International Journal of Trichology” This prospective study reported that 5 mg daily oral low-dose minoxidil over 24 weeks led to a high prevalence of hypertrichosis in 93% of male androgenetic alopecia patients, particularly affecting younger individuals, but generally had minimal impact on patients’ quality of life.
March 2025 in “Clinical and Experimental Dermatology” In this study, 37.5% of alopecia areata patients treated with tofacitinib were identified as super-responders, with significant predictors for this status being older age and no prior JAK inhibitor treatment, leading to faster and sustained hair regrowth.
March 2025 in “Journal of Clinical Medicine” This study reviewed adverse events associated with low-dose oral minoxidil for treating alopecia, finding hypertrichosis and fluid retention as common, typically manageable side effects without needing treatment discontinuation.
February 2025 in “Animals” This study involving 81 yaks found significant correlations between melatonin, dihydrotestosterone, and immunoglobulin levels in blood serum and mineral content in hair, suggesting these factors may jointly influence yak hair growth and immune status, providing a potential non-invasive indicator of overall health.
February 2025 in “La Pediatria Medica e Chirurgica” In this case study, a 12-year-old boy with Cushing's Disease experienced a complex diagnostic journey; ultimately, a left-side ACTH-secreting microadenoma was identified and treated with gamma knife therapy, normalizing hypercortisolism but resulting in growth hormone deficiency.
January 2025 in “The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism” This article discusses the complex aetiology, diagnostic criteria, and challenges in diagnosing polycystic ovary syndrome, but does not report new clinical findings.
