This study found that among women with female pattern hair loss, higher self-esteem is significantly associated with lower body image concerns and greater self-compassion.

In this study, researchers found that the expression of SLC1A6, a gene linked to calcium gradient and keratinocyte differentiation in the skin, significantly decreases with age, which may contribute to reduced skin barrier function in elderly individuals.

This study found that communication about aging across seven domains may predict successful aging in Indonesia through both positive and negative effects and efficacy toward aging.

This study developed an evidence-based informed consent form for PRP injections that was legally validated and implemented in a medical institution.

This review highlights brimonidine’s potential as a dermatological agent, noting its ability to improve rosacea-related facial redness and its effectiveness in various other skin conditions due to its vasoconstrictive and anti-inflammatory actions, with minimal systemic absorption and a favorable safety profile for long-term use.

This study found that WWOX deficiency in mice leads to impaired skin development, reduced epidermal thickness, and significant hypothermia due to disrupted cell proliferation and homeostasis.

This study found that ovine dermal papilla cells exhibit robust aggregation and alkaline phosphatase activity, regulated by Wnt/β-catenin signaling, providing insights for improving wool performance and hair regeneration therapies.

This study found that among Large White × Min pigs, 15 significant copy number variation regions were associated with villi hair traits, and identified candidate genes potentially linked to cold resistance, suggesting implications for breeding cold-resistant pigs.

In this study, a deficiency in the zinc finger protein Zfp462 in mice led to anxiety-like behaviors and excessive self-grooming, providing a new model for studying anxiety disorders.

This review summarizes various indices used to assess disease activity and damage in systemic lupus erythematosus, highlighting challenges in universal consensus and their practical applications in research and clinical settings.

This review found that alopecia areata significantly impairs quality of life, particularly through embarrassment and self-consciousness, in children and adolescents.

This study found that blocking corticotropin-releasing factor receptors with astressin-B promoted hair regrowth and prevented alopecia in a mouse model of stress-induced hair loss.

This systematic review suggests that platelet-rich plasma may significantly improve symptoms in oral lichen planus with effects comparable to corticosteroids, although more research is needed to confirm these findings.

This study reported that about one-third of post-COVID-19 patients experienced long-term symptoms, with women, older individuals, smokers, and those with specific blood groups at higher risk for complications.

This study developed two comprehensive patient-reported outcome measures for systemic lupus erythematosus to assess symptom fluctuations and impacts, following FDA guidelines, which may aid in clinical studies and practice.

This study developed and initially validated the Scale of Alopecia Areata Distress (SAAD), a 41-item tool designed to measure psychosocial distress among US adults with alopecia areata.

This review discusses how alopecia impacts patients' quality of life and evaluates the use and limitations of HRQoL questionnaires without reporting new clinical results.

In this prospective study, patients with androgenetic alopecia who underwent hair transplantation showed significant improvements in quality of life and life satisfaction, with reduced stress and anxiety levels, although depression and perceived social support did not significantly change.

This study found that health coaching significantly improved waist circumference, physical activity, and lifestyle in infertile women with PCOS undergoing fertility treatments, although no significant difference was observed in weight change compared to routine care.

This review discusses the advancement and validation of outcome measures for pediatric systemic lupus erythematosus to improve disease monitoring and treatment precision but reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, digital treatment for androgenetic alopecia over six months led to significant improvements in quality of life among Brazilian men, particularly for those with consistent program adherence, although the absence of an in-person comparator limits causal conclusions.

In this exploratory cross-sectional study, the researchers found a strong positive correlation between hair cortisol concentration and physical activity in patients with diastolic heart failure, but no correlation for other heart failure subgroups; perceived stress showed minimal association with physical activity across all subgroups.

This study found that the Antera 3D® system provided an objective and sensitive method for assessing pediatric pathological scars, capturing significant changes in pigmentation, vascularity, and volume, compared to the traditional Vancouver Scar Scale and dermoscopy, which showed varied sensitivities across different scar parameters.

In this observational study, among 135 Italian outpatients with alopecia areata, OCD symptoms were prevalent in 18.5%, and emotional distress was found in 20.7%, with emotional distress mediating the relationship between illness perceptions and OCD symptomatology.

In this cross-sectional study, social support was found to improve empowerment and alopecia-related quality of life in breast cancer patients, with an indirect benefit on quality of life achieved through enhanced empowerment.

In this study, researchers identified two person-centered sexual function profiles among women, linked to physical and psychological factors, with PCOS showing greater, though not significant, presence in the dysfunction profile. The dysfunction was associated with higher adiposity and body-image distress.

This article discusses a trial evaluating patient satisfaction with the TH07 treatment for androgenetic alopecia but reports no clinical results.

This study found that autologous micrografts using AMT® technology effectively improved symptoms and mobility in patients with early-stage knee osteoarthritis, demonstrating safety and potential benefits at 1- and 6-months post-procedure.
