This study found that patients with rheumatoid arthritis, atopic dermatitis, and alopecia areata receiving baricitinib had low incidence rates of adverse events, especially among low-risk individuals, with varying rates among those at higher risk.

This study examined sheltered and adopted domestic cats, finding that dark coat color and living environment significantly influence hair cortisol and DHEA levels as stress indicators, while age and sex do not; adoption was associated with reduced long-term stress, underscoring its benefits for feline welfare.

This study used melamine formaldehyde particles to measure a pH gradient along the hair shaft, showing a significant pH decrease from the hair sheath to the external shaft.

This study found that experiencing childhood abuse is associated with higher BMI, but hair cortisol and cortisone do not mediate this relationship.

This study found that minoxidil in Espumil Foam Base remains stable for at least 90 days when stored at room temperature and protected from light.

This review summarizes evidence indicating that body image issues in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus should be addressed with the same importance as physical symptoms like pain and disability.

This review discusses possible medication-induced hair loss and the need to exclude other confounding factors like stress and illness; it reports no new clinical findings and emphasizes careful assessment before attributing hair loss to medications.

In this commentary, the authors discuss emerging evidence primarily from pharmacovigilance data and retrospective studies indicating a potential association between GLP-1 receptor agonists, like semaglutide and tirzepatide, and hair loss, although causality remains unproven, prompting recommendations for patient monitoring and further research.

This preliminary study suggests that finasteride might cause depressive symptoms, indicating the need for cautious prescription in patients at high risk for depression.

In this study, a topical formulation with compounds from the monoterpenoid family significantly improved hair growth indicators like anagen:telogen ratio, hair fall, and visual hair density in men and women with pattern hair loss.

This study confirms an association between TNF-α antagonist exposure and alopecia, indicating a class effect among the medications examined.

This study explored the immune environment of the hair follicle's bulge region and suggested that its unique signaling may prevent melanoma formation by lacking necessary proinflammatory signals for full oncogenic transformation, indicating potential strategies for melanoma prevention by replicating this immune-privileged environment.

This study found that patients with androgenetic alopecia had increased scalp microbial diversity and reduced Staphylococcus abundance, particularly in the frontal and vertex regions, suggesting this dysbiosis as a sensitive indicator of AGA.

In this study, pregnant women in their third trimester with hair loss reported higher levels of pregnancy-specific distress compared to those without hair loss, indicating distress might contribute independently to hair loss without significant laboratory abnormalities.

This study found that elevated 1-hour plasma glucose in women with PCOS was associated with increased risk of metabolic disorders and gestational diabetes, indicating it may be a useful marker for adverse metabolic status.

This study reported that women with polycystic ovary syndrome had higher glypican-4 levels compared to controls, indicating its significant role in hormonal regulation associated with the condition.
