A cancer patient died from a severe skin reaction after taking the drug cetuximab.

In this case series, four African American women with treatment-resistant central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia showed scalp itch relief and significant hair regrowth after using a new botanical formula for 8 weeks to 1 year, with no adverse effects reported.

This study investigated the possible role of neutrophil extracellular traps in contributing to fibrosis in stenotic Crohn's disease.

This study reported that the anti-γc antibody hC2 restored hair follicle homeostasis and suppressed hair loss in an AA-like mouse model by inhibiting autoreactive T-cell activity, suggesting that hC2 may offer a safer and more effective treatment for alopecia areata compared to current Jak inhibitors.

This study found that naked hair shafts significantly increased in cicatricial alopecias compared to non-cicatricial types, suggesting their potential use in diagnosing cicatricial alopecia.

This review highlights the importance of recognizing neoplastic alopecia as a potential indicator of underlying metastatic neoplasia, as it may be mistaken for other scalp conditions like alopecia areata.

This review discusses the common occurrence of docetaxel-induced hair loss in cancer patients, including permanent cases, and highlights current and experimental strategies like scalp cooling, minoxidil, and new clinical trials for managing and preventing this side effect.

In this study, cinnamic acid was found to enhance hair growth in human dermal papilla cells and hair follicle organoids by activating oxytocin signaling, suggesting its potential for developing hair growth-promoting products.

This study found that hair cortisol did not indicate expected hypercortisolism in acutely underweight anorexia nervosa patients and did not change significantly during short-term weight restoration.

This case report found that a 48-year-old woman with idiopathic twenty-nail dystrophy experienced significant improvement in nail appearance after six months of treatment with oral Upadacitinib.

This article highlights that permanent chemotherapy-induced alopecia can occur and is more commonly associated with taxane therapy, advising awareness among patients and clinicians.

In this study, cepharanthine showed potent antiviral effects against tick-borne encephalitis virus in vitro by reducing viral replication and inflammation in human lung and neuroblastoma cells.

This study found that Cornu cervi pantotrichum pharmacopuncture solution significantly promoted hair growth in mice by enhancing hair follicular cell proliferation and up-regulating FGF-7 expression.

In an outpatient cardiology center, this study found that introducing the AHA/ACC ABI screening protocol significantly increased the frequency of ABI ordering by 31.6% for symptomatic patients.

This report details a case of right fourth nerve palsy in a 47-year-old man following hair replacement surgery, hypothesized to be due to brainstem instability related to an anatomical variant and postoperative posture-induced cerebrospinal fluid shifts.

This study describes a distinct pattern of trichoscopic features associated with chemotherapy-induced alopecia and how these features evolve through different phases of chemotherapy treatment.

This study outlines the Human Gene Correlation Analysis tool, which classifies human genes by coexpression levels and identifies overrepresented annotation terms in correlated gene groups, with no new clinical results reported.

This article discusses the need for changes in governance and regulation within the aesthetics industry, focusing on creating standards and competency frameworks to ensure safe practices. Results are not reported in this summary.

This case report describes a 9-year-old girl with pseudonits and highlights frequent challenges in correctly diagnosing this condition.

In this study, EC chemotherapy was found to be noninferior to TC in causing grade 3 or 4 neutropenia among HR+/HER2-negative breast cancer patients, but EC was associated with more other adverse events.

This laboratory study found that nonanal, a plant scent compound, may stimulate growth factors and cell proliferation in human hair follicle dermal papilla cells, suggesting a cAMP-mediated mechanism.

This study found that applying a 1% sodium N-(dihydrolipoyl)-l-histidinate zinc complex lotion to the scalp did not prevent chemotherapy-induced alopecia in breast cancer patients, but it may aid recovery.

This study found non-melanoma skin cancer in 7.2% of elderly residents in long-term care facilities in Berlin, highlighting the need for more routine skin cancer screenings in these settings.

Taxane chemotherapy can cause permanent hair loss by damaging hair follicles and altering their DNA.

This paper discusses the introduction and advantages of an Insurance-Based Billing Model for scalp cooling devices in the USA, which can enhance access to this treatment for reducing chemotherapy-induced alopecia, particularly benefiting underserved and disadvantaged populations.

The researchers reviewed cepharanthine, a long-used bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid, for its antiviral properties, including significant inhibition of SARS-CoV-2. They discussed cepharanthine's other pharmacological actions, highlighted plasma membrane fluidity as a key antiviral mechanism, and examined its safety, bioavailability, and potential for new clinical applications.

This review discusses recent advancements in understanding and managing congenital adrenal hyperplasia, including improvements in screening, diagnostics, and potential genetic and cell-based treatments, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study presents a computational approach, CATNIP, which repurposes drugs using only their biological and chemical information, predicting new uses like adrenergic uptake inhibitors for Parkinson's and vandetanib for Type 2 Diabetes.

This article highlights the need for oncologists to better understand the profound impact of chemotherapy-induced alopecia on Black breast cancer patients, recognizing its unique historical and cultural significance.

This paper reviews the literature on acquired trichorrhexis nodosa, a clinical hair loss diagnosis associated with hair care practices, particularly in those with tightly curled hair, and emphasizes management through protective hair care regimens rather than traditional prescription therapies.
