This review reports on the use of nails as an alternative biological matrix to hair for assessing long-term drug consumption, emphasizing that while there are clear differences between nail and hair samples, more standardized research is necessary for definitive conclusions.

In this report, two women treated with alitretinoin experienced persistent curling of their previously straight hair, suggesting a likely causal link between the medication and hair texture changes.

This book discusses various unanswered questions about headaches, including genetic factors, smartphone effects, and botulinum toxin's potential benefits for chronic migraines, but reports no new clinical findings.

This literature review investigates the key skin changes during pregnancy and summarizes safe cosmetic treatments currently recommended, aiming to update knowledge about effective and safe options in accordance with existing regulations.

In this study conducted at Shafa Hospital, Kerman, Iran, 3.5% of patients using sodium valproate as an antiepileptic experienced hair loss and curling over ten years.

This case study describes a 19-year-old female patient who gained 13 kg and experienced hair changes while on valproic acid, and partially lost weight after reducing the dosage, but hair changes persisted.

This report discusses that curly hair is a very rare side effect of valproate, a medication used as a mood stabilizer for bipolar disorder, though such drug-induced hair changes are uncommon.

This study concluded that a mixed preparation of piperine, capsaicin, and curcumin is effective for treating alopecia areata but is not superior to minoxidil over a short-term period.

This study observed that hair fibers in older women become more curved with age, decreasing hair luster due to their disordered alignment and structural differences between the convex and concave sides.

This review discusses the role of ovarian steroids in skin and hair metabolism, and suggests estrogens could slow skin aging post-menopause, while minoxidil is effective for women's hair loss.

This review discusses the potential of drug therapies like finasteride for treating androgenetic alopecia, highlighting its ability to prevent hair loss and promote regrowth in clinical trials with men.

In this study, researchers developed a silk fibroin-based hydrogel with added curcumin and pluronic F127, which displayed antibacterial properties against Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and showed potential for skin tissue regeneration, without cytotoxicity.

This review suggests that mesenchymal stem cells' therapeutic effects might be due to bioactive substances they release, rather than the cells themselves, highlighting the potential of the MSC secretome as a novel, cell-free therapeutic approach.

This review summarizes advancements in stem cell technologies, highlighting their effectiveness in disease treatment and tissue reconstruction for conditions such as nerve palsy and myocardial infarction, supported by pre-clinical and clinical studies.

Valproate can cause both hair loss and curly hair in bipolar disorder patients.

This study found that topical curcumin can initiate hair growth in mice by acting as a JAK inhibitor but could not fully reverse alopecia areata, likely due to insufficient penetration to deeper skin layers.

This review discusses recent advances in the treatment of alopecia areata, highlighting new potential therapies like JAK inhibitors and PRP, and reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the potential of novel delivery systems to improve the bioavailability and therapeutic effects of herbal bioactives in colorectal cancer treatment.

This study found that curcumin lowered fasting blood sugar levels and improved menstruation characteristics in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, but it did not affect other metabolic, hormonal, or hirsutism indices.

This study found that the shampoo formulation with Polyurethane-14 and AMP-acrylates copolymer improved curl definition and reduced frizz and volume in natural and curly hair tresses compared to the control.

This study validated a new tool for assessing curly hair manageability, finding that hair curvature is a key factor influencing hair practices and product attitudes among women with natural curly hair.

This review analyzed current studies on metabolite production from the medicinal fungus Cordyceps militaris, focusing on its fermentation modes and biological functions, and emphasizes the need for modern fermentation processes to enhance industrial production.

In this study, researchers reported that shearing combined with electrocautery and curettage effectively removed eyebrow intradermal nevi in two adult patients, with no recurrence or significant scarring, suggesting this method is both safe and cosmetically advantageous.

This article examines advancements in understanding and managing androgenic alopecia (male pattern baldness), discussing genetic and psychological factors, diagnostic methods, classifications, and various treatment options, including traditional and emerging therapies, to aid healthcare professionals in making informed treatment decisions.

A specific gene variant is linked to heart disease, increased heart muscle, curly hair, and thick skin on palms and soles.

This study suggests that curl pattern classification could help improve patient communication and risk stratification in hair loss disorders, but its clinical utility in dermatology needs further validation.

This article discusses the challenges in treating androgenic alopecia and highlights its potential links to coronary heart disease and metabolic syndrome but reports no new clinical findings.
