This study found distinct hair metal profiles in Parkinson's disease patients, with lower iron and copper, higher manganese and arsenic, and explored their link to gut dysfunction and microbiota dysbiosis, suggesting hair metal analysis as a promising diagnostic tool.

This study reports that in a rat model of myocardial infarction, Zn-Cu ion sequential therapy improved cardiac function and cardiomyocyte metabolic activity by precisely regulating ion concentrations and maintaining elevated levels of the Per2 protein, important for cellular repair.

In this study, researchers reported that adult females approaching menopause in Canada generally had similar or lower blood concentrations of toxic, essential, and trace elements compared to their peers, but most participants showed zinc levels below the proposed adequacy threshold.

This study found that cows with alopecia, ill-thrift, and infertility exhibited significant decreases in serum copper, zinc, calcium, inorganic phosphorus, magnesium, and hematological measures, indicating moderate microcytic, hypochromic anemia.

This research found that heavy metal concentrations of arsenic, lead, cadmium, and iron were significantly higher in human hair samples from 100 years ago compared to today's levels in southern Poland, with a median decrease of 69–95%.

This case report suggests that nonsynchronized segmented heterochromia in black scalp hair in a 14-year-old girl may represent premature greying unrelated to deficiencies in iron, copper, zinc, or protein.

In this study, a syndrome of zinc deficiency was observed in adults receiving intravenous feeding, with zinc supplementation improving symptoms except for delayed hair regrowth.

Adequate zinc and iron intake may reduce hair loss after bariatric surgery.

This study found that chemical elements, particularly hair selenium, may indicate nutritional status in older adults, with variations observed by age and gender.

This review discusses skin diseases related to contraceptive use, reporting potential issues with oral contraceptives and infrequent reactions to mechanical or barrier methods without new clinical findings.

In this study, higher concentrations of environmental metals, particularly manganese, were linked to worse self-reported attention-related behaviors in adolescents from Italy, with no significant modification of this effect by iron status.

This study reported three related cases of woolly hair syndrome transmitted as a dominant autosomal trait, characterized by fine, frizzy hair and general hair thinning.

This study found that composite chitosan nanofibers containing luminescent europium complexes can sensitively detect Cu2+ concentrations as low as 10 μmol/L, making them suitable for use in biological systems.

This study proposes using superhydrophobic surfaces to reduce protein fouling and enable self-cleaning in microfluidic devices, detailing preparation and quantification methods for these coatings.

This study reported that in the California Ground Squirrel, certain elements bioaccumulate in hair, providing baseline data for environmental health assessments.

In this case study, a 6-year-old boy with autism spectrum disorder developed iodine deficiency hypothyroidism due to extreme picky eating, illustrating the need for flexible dietary interventions in similar cases.

This study found that all five toxic microelements analyzed were most prevalent in the Caspian thin-fingered gecko's bone and muscle tissues, suggesting their tolerance to these elements in polluted areas.

This review found that many low-level light therapy studies report beneficial effects but often fail to provide adequate measurement details, affecting the reliability and repeatability of the research.

This review discusses the interplay between epilepsy and reproductive endocrine disorders, examining the factors involved and emphasizing the importance of monitoring but reports no new research findings.

This study concluded that an 8-week low-starch/low-dairy diet increased fat oxidation in overweight and obese women with PCOS.

This study describes three female cases of androgen-dependent diseases in myotonic dystrophy, suggesting that peripheral androgen response, rather than serum levels, may drive such conditions.

This study found that using the "Khalgai" hair care products enriched with copper and zinc for 28 days led to increased hair density, diameter, and follicular unit count in women, indicating improved hair morphology.

This review discusses the applications of low level laser therapy (LLLT) in wound healing, pain reduction, and treating various conditions, but reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight the need for randomized controlled trials for serious diseases.

This study found that during dialysis, lower plasma-potassium levels were associated with hyperglycemia, suggesting potassium correction is vital when using glucose-rich dialysate.

This review discusses the genetic and androgen-related factors in androgenetic alopecia, highlighting a specific polymorphism in the AR protein associated with male pattern hair loss, and reports no new clinical results.

In this hospital-based study, researchers found that serum ferritin levels were significantly lower in individuals with acne compared to healthy controls, suggesting a possible link between iron deficiency and acne pathogenesis.

This study found that Iranian patients with alopecia areata had significantly lower zinc and vitamin D levels than healthy controls, indicating these nutrients' potential role in disease management.

Low-Level Laser Therapy can stimulate healing and cell function, potentially leading to wider medical use.

This study found that serum androgen levels in premenopausal women may be influenced by genetic variants of the androgen receptor and estrogen receptor β genes.
