In this survey study, dermatologists in the Aseer region of Saudi Arabia generally exhibited good knowledge of isotretinoin's ocular side effects like dry eye and contact lens intolerance, but their practices varied regarding patient education and management of these effects.

This study suggests that a prototype device may accurately measure hair quantity, diameter, and density in balding patients, potentially aiding in diagnostic assessments, though formal clinical studies are needed to confirm its effectiveness.

In this study, researchers found that the variability in growth factor expression, particularly TGFβ1, in PRP samples could influence patient responses to hair loss treatment with PRP therapy.

This study found that a centrifugation protocol of 1300 rpm/246 g for 20 minutes followed by 1600 rpm/373 g for 20 minutes achieved the highest platelet yield in platelet-rich plasma.

This study developed a high performance capillary electrophoresis method, validated for both legal and illicit minoxidil-based products, to confirm minoxidil's presence alongside known impurities.

This study found genetic variations, including de novo variants and copy number variations, that may be associated with phenotypic discordance in monozygotic twins with various clinical conditions.

This study found that the Alopecia Areata Patient Priority Outcomes questionnaire is a reliable and valid tool for measuring the severity and impact of hair loss in individuals with alopecia areata.

This study confirms the presence of large structural variations in the genome of Nellore cattle, which may contribute to their environmental adaptation to tropical regions.

This study found that the Chinese version of the Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Quality of Life Questionnaire (Chi-PCOSQ) is sensitive to clinical changes and effectively assesses health-related quality of life in Chinese women with PCOS.

This study found that the skin and coat scoring protocol for dogs is most reliable when the same person assesses greasiness and glossiness over time.

This research developed a zinc-doped nanocomposite using biodegradable materials, observing effective bone targeting and regeneration capabilities in vivo, with no observed cytotoxicity in the MG63 cell line, potentially due to blocking Farnesyl Diphosphate Synthetase to inhibit osteoclastic activity and promote osteogenesis.

This study documented the indigenous uses of 68 medicinal plant species for food and beverages across three ethnic communities in Southwest Pakistan, with implications for sustainable development and cross-cultural understanding.

This study developed a testosterone propionate-induced C57BL/6 mouse model of androgenetic alopecia, demonstrating that high-dose, prolonged testosterone administration inhibited hair regrowth and mirrored human AGA pathology, providing a useful platform for studying hair loss mechanisms and testing therapies targeting the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

This study in Saudi Arabia found that psychological stress was strongly linked to skin symptoms, with conditions like psoriasis, eczema, acne, rash, and baldness showing significant associations, highlighting the importance of considering stress levels when diagnosing skin issues.

This study found a high prevalence of stress-related hair loss in Al Majma'ah, Saudi Arabia, particularly among females and individuals aged 31-40, with significant associations between hair loss and stress, psychosocial challenges, and sociodemographic factors.

This study found that Lepidium sativum leaf extract significantly downregulated VEGF, TNF-α, and SRD5A2 gene expressions in HaCaT cells, suggesting potential benefits for inflammatory and androgen-dependent skin disorders.

This study found high levels of anxiety, depression, and PTSD in dermatology patients one year after the February 6, 2023, earthquakes in Türkiye, with specific skin conditions like telogen effluvium and alopecia areata being more prevalent among those with psychological distress.

In this study, researchers in Baghdad, Iraq found that men with hair loss had higher body fat mass and haematocrit values, and lower blood pressure compared to men without hair loss, suggesting potential links between metabolic and hematologic changes and baldness.

This study observed that among 120 patients recovering from COVID-19, severe diffuse hair loss typically began less than two months post-infection, with the majority of patients experiencing a severe degree of hair loss and positive hair pull tests, often alongside vitamin D deficiency.
