This review highlights concerns around premature greying in children, detailing possible links to nutritional deficiencies and other health issues, and emphasizes that structured evaluation and targeted treatment may aid in reversing the condition.

In this study, women with hair loss were found to have significantly lower levels of vitamin D and ferritin compared to healthy controls, suggesting that these micronutrients may play a role in hair health and could be important in nutritional assessments for hair loss conditions.

This study examined the factors contributing to gray hair, such as genetics and lifestyle, and found that while graying correlates with some health conditions, it is primarily a physiological process rather than a pathological one.

This review clarifies that non-anaemic iron deficiency in non-pregnant premenopausal women often arises from menstrual iron losses and can cause symptoms like hair loss, while in post-menopausal women and adult men, iron deficiency anaemia frequently indicates chronic intestinal bleeding.

In this study, the researchers analyzed traditional Chinese medicine treatments for hair loss, concluding that conditions such as liver and kidney deficiencies contribute to alopecia and suggesting herbal treatments like Platycladus orientalis and Polygonum multiflorum for therapy.

This case report highlights a 33-year-old male initially misdiagnosed with Neuromyelitis Optica, whose symptoms may improve with biotin treatment due to late onset biotinidase deficiency.

In this retrospective study of 133 pediatric patients, topical minoxidil was generally well tolerated for managing androgenetic alopecia, but close monitoring and adherence to treatment, accounting for hormonal and concurrent conditions, were emphasized for effective care.

This case report documented an elderly woman with delusional parasitosis, a belief of being infested by parasites, which was associated with severe anemia and resolved significantly after anemia treatment and antipsychotic medication.

This case report describes a Salem black kid with alopecia and other symptoms, which was diagnosed with anaplasmosis due to Anaplasma ovis infection combined with copper deficiency, as confirmed by laboratory tests including blood smears and serum biochemistry.

This study found that among young women in West Bengal, India, co-occurring PCOS and related conditions like estrogen resistance and leptin receptor insufficiency are common, with notable genetic variations identified, including impairments in leptin signaling and insulin resistance.

In this case study, researchers documented a Chinese boy with hair color changing to red and identified MC1R genetic mutations as the cause, rather than zinc deficiency, enhancing our understanding of hair heterochromia due to genetic factors.

In this case report, the authors describe the first documented occurrence of new-onset hypocortisolism after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in a patient, highlighting the need for awareness of this condition among clinicians when patients present with nonspecific symptoms post-bariatric surgery.

This study observed that maize plants, including a root hairless mutant variety, did not exhibit typical root growth or compensatory foraging behavior under severe boron deficiency in soil, indicating atypical responses compared to other plants.

This study, conducted at a tertiary care hospital, found no statistically significant association between male pattern hair loss and levels of serum ferritin or thyroid-stimulating hormone, suggesting these factors may not play a role in this condition.

This review discusses the challenges in optimizing glucocorticoid treatment for classic 21-hydroxylase deficiency, emphasizing individualized care and the need for comprehensive management, but presents no new findings.

This meta-analysis found that iron deficiency is associated with telogen effluvium and identified critical serum ferritin levels for defining iron deficiency in these patients.

This case report describes an 11-month-old infant with Biotinidase deficiency who exhibited multifocal seizures, neuroregression, alopecia, and skin issues, highlighting prompt diagnosis and the dramatic clinical response to biotin treatment.

The authors describe a case where a 24-year-old woman experienced diffuse hair loss, likely telogen effluvium, after bariatric surgery, suggesting nutritional deficiencies and multifactorial causes may contribute to this condition.

This study reported that in women with pattern baldness, hormonal levels and iron deficiency were significantly associated with the condition, but trichoscopic findings were similar across different forms of female pattern hair loss.

This study identified a mutation in the CST6 gene linked to a rare syndrome with symptoms affecting hair and skin, revealing cystatin M/E's role in maintaining epidermal homeostasis and hair follicle development.

In this study, most Iraqi women with telogen effluvium had no identifiable triggers, though severe stress was noted in 21% of cases prior to the condition onset.

The document concludes that hair loss in women is complex, often linked to aging, health conditions, and nutritional deficiencies, and emotional impacts should not be underestimated.

This report presents a case of acrodermatitis enteropathica in a 22-year-old female, highlighting the absence of underlying comorbid conditions.

This study found that low serum ferritin levels were significantly associated with chronic telogen effluvium in adult menstruating females, suggesting that serum ferritin is a better indicator of low iron stores than hemoglobin levels in this condition.

In this study, buffalo calves fed only corn silage showed deficiencies in copper, zinc, selenium, and vitamin A, along with improved physiological conditions after dietary supplementation and treatment.

In this case report, an 11-year-old girl with acrodermatitis enteropathica experienced a complete resolution of symptoms following oral zinc therapy, highlighting its effectiveness in managing this condition.

This study reviewed 45 cases of zinc deficiency manifesting as skin symptoms related to acrodermatitis enteropathica, emphasizing the need for zinc supplementation in chronic malabsorption conditions.

In this study, androgenetic alopecia patients exhibited more nailfold capillary abnormalities, suggesting a potential link between microcirculation issues and the condition.

Finasteride and dutasteride, used for prostate issues and hair loss, can cause side effects like sexual dysfunction and mental issues, which may continue even after stopping the medication, a condition called post-finasteride syndrome, for which there's currently no cure.

This study observed that patients with hypothyroidism-associated hair loss commonly have deficiencies in several vitamins and minerals, suggesting that these deficiencies may be linked to their condition.
