In this study, 1% pimekrolimus cream was found to be more effective than 0.05% clobetasol propionate for treating active plaques in patients with alopecia areata.

Intramuscular triamcinolone and pulse therapy with oral predonine are effective for alopecia areata with manageable side effects, but better relapse prevention is needed.

In this study, no significant difference was found between the efficacy of betamethasone dipropionate cream and placebo in treating alopecia areata in children, regardless of atopic status.

This review discusses the use of hair cortisol concentration as a marker for chronic stress and long-term cortisol secretion in animals, highlighting its benefits and the need for standardized sampling protocols.

This study observed that human hair macrofibrils predominantly exhibit a double-twist architecture with varying inter-macrofibril angles, advancing insights into their structural organization and mechanical implications.

In this study, epidermal growth factor (EGF) was shown to increase the length of rat organ of Corti segments containing supernumerary hair cells, with the effect peaking at birth and independent of cell division.

This article is a letter to the editor about high-dose pulsed corticosteroid therapy combined with methotrexate for severe childhood alopecia areata and provides no new clinical results.

This study reports that scalp biopsies in white adults usually have 16.5 hair follicles, primarily in the anagen phase, with male samples showing fewer follicular units but more fibrous tracts in certain areas.

In this study, the bending stiffness of human hair was linked to the varying proportions of para-like versus ortho-like cortical cells within the hair fiber.

This article examines the public health risks and benefits of pill organizers and cutters, concluding that healthcare professionals should guide their use to prevent potential medication stability and efficacy issues.

This case report describes a 63-year-old woman with hyperandrogenism due to an ectopic adrenal gland adenoma on the ovaries, successfully treated with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.

This overview describes the Dermatologic Surgery journal's full coverage of skin surgery topics, including various surgical procedures, but it reports no new research findings.

Mini pulse corticosteroid therapy with oral dexamethasone is effective and has fewer side effects for treating extensive alopecia areata.

This study observed that in privately owned, intact cats, male cats exhibited significantly higher long-term hair cortisol concentrations compared to females, while environmental and behavioral factors did not significantly impact cortisol levels, suggesting individual traits may influence stress markers more than external factors.

This study reported that in mice with rapamycin-induced thymic atrophy, Angelica sinensis promoted thymic cortical regeneration and functional recovery by activating the Wnt/CTNNB1/Foxn1 signaling pathway and improving inflammatory microenvironment, suggesting its potential benefit against immune aging.

In this review, researchers examined the concentration of cortisol in scalp hair of individuals with alopecia areata to explore its relationship with disease variables, as cortisol in hair can indicate chronic stress, which may impact alopecia areata pathogenesis.

This study found that maternal caffeine intake during gestation and lactation can lead to skin lesions like hypotrichosis and alopecia in both mother and offspring rats, irrespective of maternal cortisol levels.

This study describes a modified reduction-osmication method for staining human scalp hair that improves reagent penetration and visualization of hair cortex features using transmission electron microscopy.

A woman's unique dementia was misdiagnosed, a genetic mutation increases Parkinson's risk with age, and finasteride may help with Tourette syndrome.

This case report describes a non-mosaic Turner-Syndrome individual with global cerebral atrophy, significant cognitive impairment, and severe treatment-resistant schizophrenia.

This study found that a long-term astrocyte culture model can effectively study astrocyte senescence and suggests minoxidil as a potential candidate to regulate brain aging by normalizing dysregulated gene expression in aged astrocytes.
