This review discusses the characteristics and management of cutaneous immune-related adverse events from immune checkpoint inhibitors and notes their potential association with a favorable cancer treatment response.

Topical thiols may prevent hair loss caused by certain chemotherapy drugs.

This study found that OPC-17116 can be reliably detected in hair, suggesting it can serve as an index of drug exposure and a time-marker in hair analysis.

A woman had nausea and constipation from iron pills taken for hair loss due to low iron.

This study found that the incidence of hyperkalemia is low among transgender, gender nonbinary, and gender-nonconforming individuals, particularly those under 45, but increases with age.

This study found that myoinositol combined with D-chiroinositol was more effective than metformin in improving weight reduction, spontaneous ovulation, and pregnancy rates in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

This study reports a novel method for synthesizing substituted hydantoins, including the anticonvulsant drug ethotoin, using safer reagents and fewer steps compared to conventional protocols.

This review discusses advances in protecting against chemotherapy-induced alopecia and reports no new clinical results; calcitriol and cyclosporine A emerged as promising agents in animal models with broader efficacy across multiple chemotherapy drugs.

This article suggests using nicotinamide and minoxidil as potassium channel activators to target solid tumors, but reports no new clinical results and calls for further research.

This review discusses the range of cutaneous immune-related adverse events induced by immune checkpoint inhibitors and the proposed mechanisms underlying these skin reactions, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that both scalp cooling systems and chemical cooling caps effectively reduced chemotherapy-induced alopecia in early breast cancer patients, with scalp cooling showing better early efficacy but chemical cooling providing greater psychological and quality of life benefits.

This study reported that a combination of Myo-inositol and D-chiro-Inositol improved clinical and laboratory parameters in teenage girls with PCOS compared to a placebo.

This study found that AHCC significantly reduced alopecia caused by Ara-C in neonatal rats and improved liver function affected by 6-MP and MTX in mice.

This study found that enzymatic conversion of Arg-51 in S100A3 protein to citrulline promotes homotetramer assembly, potentially increasing Ca²⁺ binding required for hair cuticular barrier formation.

In this study, researchers found that Ectoin, derived from halophilic bacteria, can mitigate stress-related skin damage by reducing cortisone's inhibitory effects on essential skin proteins and decreasing UVB-induced glucocorticoid activity, highlighting its potential as a preventative agent for stress-induced skin issues.

This study found that higher concentrations of copper (II) ions in human hair increase protein oxidative modification, contributing to hair damage regardless of UV exposure and pigmentation level.

This study found that chemically modifying hair with 2-iminothiorane hydrochloride improved the permanence of hair setting without damaging the hair by increasing disulfide bonds.

This study demonstrated that using chelants like N , N ′ ‐ethylenediamine disuccinic acid in hair coloring products can significantly reduce keratin fiber damage by preventing the formation of metal-induced free radicals.

Cromolyn sodium's effectiveness for treating asthma in children under 2 is unclear, possibly more beneficial for older children, and further research is needed.

This study found that chronic administration of finasteride affected the isotopic composition of testosterone and nandrolone metabolites, impacting the drug-testing outcomes in athletic contexts.

In this study, zinc chloride was found to be severely irritant to the skin in rabbit, guinea-pig, and mouse models, while zinc oxide, zinc sulphate, zinc pyrithione, and zinc undecylenate showed minimal to no irritancy.

This report describes cases of transient thyrotoxicosis potentially linked to oral retinoid treatment, suggesting a possible mechanism involving increased iodine uptake by thyroid cells.

This case report details the first use of baricitinib in a pediatric patient with immune thrombocytopenia and alopecia areata, showing successful treatment with increased platelet counts.

In this study, researchers found that using the Orbis II scalp cooling device in a single-center setting effectively prevented severe chemotherapy-induced alopecia in 73% of patients with various cancer types, though the authors recommend further studies to explore broader applicability and influencing factors.

This case report details a 23-year-old woman who was poisoned with thallium by a colleague and treated with activated charcoal and Prussian blue.

In this study, pre-treatment with 5-α-reductase inhibitors (finasteride/dutasteride) in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma was associated with better immune checkpoint inhibitor effectiveness and improved progression-free and overall survival, without increasing severe side effects.

This study demonstrates that pH-responsive nanogels designed with comb-like anionic polymers significantly improved oral delivery of the chemotherapy drug camptothecin, enhancing drug stability in acidic conditions and release in the intestines, with increased cellular uptake and cytotoxic effects against colorectal carcinoma cells.

This study found that Myoinositol and D-chiro inositol treatment improved fertility outcomes in women with PCOS, particularly in Phenotypes A and D, but larger studies are needed to confirm these results.

In this study, treatment with DPCP alone was more effective for hair regrowth and presented fewer side effects in chronic extensive alopecia areata compared to combination therapy with DPCP and anthralin.
