This review concludes that autologous split-thickness skin grafting remains the gold standard for safety and efficacy in treating chronic leg ulcers, with greater success in venous ulcers.

In this study, four women with chronic telogen effluvium experienced fluctuating hair shedding without visible reduction in hair density or follicular miniaturization over at least 7 years.

This article reviews current therapies for exocrine pancreatic insufficiency in chronic pancreatitis, highlighting the challenges in achieving optimal enzyme dosing and the potential need for treatment even in asymptomatic patients.

This study validated the VQ-Dermato, the first dermatology-specific quality of life instrument in French, and found it to be reliable, acceptable for routine use, and more responsive than the SF36.

This case report documents a reversible instance of complete body hair loss (alopecia universalis) in a patient undergoing chronic hepatitis C treatment with pegylated interferon alpha-2b and ribavirin, with hair regrowth observed within three months after therapy completion.

In this study, women with chronic telogen effluvium experienced reduced hair shedding after being treated with once daily oral minoxidil for 12 months, but facial hypertrichosis was a reported side effect, suggesting the need for further placebo-controlled research.

This study suggests that chronic stress can lead to decreased skin pigmentation in mice by disrupting the skin's HPA axis, potentially making stress a risk factor for depigmentation.

This study suggests that chronic telogen effluvium may be due to a reduction in the variance of anagen duration, resulting in recurrent hair shedding with minimal long-term hair volume loss.

In this study, a new cell-tissue technology using a patient's own skin to create a full-thickness skin autograft successfully treated a chronic wound larger than 200 cm², achieving complete functional skin coverage within 12 weeks and maintaining results at a 6-month follow-up.

In this study, androgen deprivation, particularly through finasteride treatment, effectively reduced chronic bacterial prostatitis severity in rats, suggesting potential for improved treatment modalities combining finasteride and levofloxacin.

This review discusses the use of tofacitinib as a treatment for plaque psoriasis, highlighting its efficacy and safety in clinical trials, but notes unresolved questions regarding long-term safety.

This review discusses various gene therapy and non-viral delivery methods to promote angiogenesis for chronic wound healing, but it reports no new clinical results.

In this study, a high daily dose of interferon alfa-2b administered initially six times a week for two weeks followed by thrice weekly for 12 weeks was most effective in sustaining normal ALT values in patients.

This review highlights that current diagnostic and treatment methods for chronic pelvic pain syndrome lack robust evidence, suggesting a need for further research.

This study observed that while topical drug therapy for erosive pustular dermatosis rarely leads to complete resolution, surgery may achieve remission in male patients.
