This study found no significant difference in serum ferritin, zinc, and 25-hydroxy vitamin D levels between women with chronic telogen effluvium and healthy controls, although suboptimal levels were common in both groups.

This review highlights the mixed roles of testosterone in COVID-19, noting both potential benefits through anti-inflammatory effects and risks due to increased virus entry, with low testosterone linked to increased severity.

This review discusses the biologically active compounds in Maxillariinae orchids, highlighting 62 semiochemicals with medical potential, but reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the dual role of the TMPRSS2 gene in coronaviral lung infection and prostate cancer, cautioning against TMPRSS2 inhibitors for early prostate cancer due to potential pro-inflammatory effects.

This systematic review found that antiandrogens do not appear to protect against SARS-CoV-2 infection or reduce COVID-19 severity, suggesting their use is not advisable for COVID-19 treatment.

This study demonstrated that intramuscular corticosteroids were effective for severe alopecia areata, with significant hair regrowth in 80.2% of patients, though a high relapse rate was noted post-treatment. Nail involvement and disease duration over six months negatively impacted outcomes.

This study suggests that the synthetic peptide SPIKENET (SPK) may protect against long-term skin alterations in mice following coronavirus infection, offering potential therapeutic intervention for similar effects in humans post-COVID-19.

This study found that in male Wistar rats, finasteride administration reduced neural cellular activity markers and 5-alpha reductase type 2 expression in brain tissue, with some recovery occurring after drug withdrawal, unlike persistent 5-alpha reductase type 2 suppression.

This case report describes a 21-year-old man with alopecia areata presenting as a U-shaped hair loss pattern resembling Hamilton grade VII male-pattern baldness, with no signs of inflammation or related conditions.

This article explores the potential of formyl-peptide receptor 2 agonists as innovative anti-inflammatory drugs, highlighting their ability to mimic the body's natural inflammation response, but it presents no new clinical findings.

This study found that baicalin delivery through polymeric nanocapsules significantly enhanced its anticancer activity in breast cancer cell lines MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231.

This review discusses the traditional uses and pharmacologically active compounds of 22 Dendrobium species for dermatological disorders but reports no new results, highlighting the need for further research.

This study found that PGF 2α receptors were predominantly present in the inner root sheath of the bulb and stem of human eyelashes during the anagen phase.

This study evaluated green tea extract-loaded spanlastic formulations and found that a vesicle builder to edge activator ratio of 8:2 produced optimal characteristics, including a particle size of 419.70 nm, an entrapment efficiency of 60.85%, and a drug loading of 11.07%.

This review examines studies from 2019-2022 on dietary treatments for skin diseases, highlighting various foods and supplements that may aid in managing conditions like acne, psoriasis, and alopecia areata.

In this study, researchers analyzed the waters of Ladakh's hotsprings, identifying 27 bioactive compounds with potential health benefits, but emphasize that further clinical trials are needed to confirm their therapeutic efficacy and safety.
