April 1981 in “Pediatric research” This study found that abnormal liver and kidney copper metabolism in Br females had no clinical effects, whereas defective brain copper metabolism in Br males was clinically significant.
October 2025 in “Indian Dermatology Online Journal” This study explored how using kitchen-related analogies for dermatological signs, like comparing certain appearances to common culinary items, can enhance understanding and retention of complex medical concepts in dermatology.
This study found that while 3D spheroid culture preserved sweat gland cell-specific markers better than 2D culture, their growth and structural organization were suboptimal, highlighting the need for improved culture systems.
October 2025 in “Indian Dermatology Online Journal” In this case report, researchers documented a young girl's eyebrow hair loss attributed to trichotillosis influenced by observing Jain monks' ritualistic hair plucking, highlighting the role of cultural practices in shaping compulsive behaviors.
This study suggests that while alopecia areata presents similarly across different skin tones, hair loss may be underestimated in individuals with more tightly coiled hair without a comprehensive examination, highlighting the need for culturally sensitive evaluation approaches, particularly for Black women.
January 2025 in “International Journal of Women’s Dermatology” This study proposes creating formal educational programs for dermatologists to improve care for African American patients by addressing the lack of training in hair care practices and complications associated with cultural styles like braids and wigs, thereby aiming to enhance health outcomes and healthcare equity.
This review discusses anticoagulant and antihypertensive medications as potential contributors to medication-induced telogen effluvium and reports no new clinical results.
This review covers medication-induced telogen effluvium with a focus on systemic retinoids, antifungal agents, and psychotropic medications, and reports no new clinical results.
