In this study of 93 patients, adding pantohematogen to a treatment regimen for androgenetic alopecia led to greater improvements in scalp microcirculation, psychoemotional status, hemoglobin levels, and hair restoration compared to a group receiving scalp physiotherapy.

This study outlined modern approaches for using cosmeceuticals in trichology, emphasizing evidence-based medicine, personalized care, and patient safety. It proposed the H.A.I.R. model as a universal algorithm for trichological programs and suggested new educational and practical tools for specialists in trichology and aesthetic medicine.

This review discusses the connection between alopecia areata and trace element imbalances, noting deficiencies in elements like zinc and selenium, but reports no new clinical findings.

Sodium valproate can worsen psoriasis-like skin conditions.

This study examined treatments for emesis in young Alexander disease patients, finding that 95% responded positively to valproic acid, which was more effective than anti-reflux medications or cyproheptadine, though some adverse effects require monitoring.

This case report documents a young woman who experienced a visual field defect similar to those linked to vigabatrin use, despite treatment only with valproic acid and carbamazepine, suggestive of a possible metabolic vulnerability in certain patients with specific genetic backgrounds.

This study identified two distinct VDR gene mutations among Lebanese families with hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets, noting varied treatment responses and promising outcomes despite severe phenotypes.

In this case report, a 17-year-old male on sodium valproate therapy developed rare longitudinal melanonychia, suggesting sodium valproate can induce nail pigmentation as a side effect.

This case report diagnosed variegate porphyria in a 33-year-old woman based on significant laboratory abnormalities, but with clinical features resembling porphyria cutanea tarda.

This study found that valproic acid may interfere with the leucine metabolic pathway by inhibiting 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase and biotinidase, which could contribute to side effects like skin rash and hair loss in patients.

In this study, sustained-release sodium valproate showed high efficacy in achieving seizure remission for adults with focal and generalized epilepsy over one year, but side effects like weight gain and tremor were more frequent among heterozygous carriers of certain gene variants.

This study found that valproic acid is effective in controlling absence seizures and can improve other seizure types, but 20% of patients experience mostly transient adverse reactions.

This paper reviews the hair color changes associated with valproic acid treatment, noting only a few reported instances of bleaching or darkening, and reports no new findings.

In this study, eight patients with hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets who share a specific VDR mutation showed improved clinical symptoms except alopecia after up to 11 years of treatment.

This study found that in vivo, a novel microneedle system for valproic acid delivery may improve hair regrowth efficacy by upregulating hair follicle development pathways more effectively than topical application.

This study presents a case of a 24-year-old man who developed mild transaminitis and rhabdomyolysis within 24 hours of starting valproic acid for seizures, with symptom resolution following drug cessation.

In this study, researchers identified a unique Arg30stop mutation in the vitamin D receptor gene that causes hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets in a young French-Canadian boy by truncating the receptor and causing hormone resistance.

In this case study, researchers found that treatment with sarolaner led to complete recovery from generalized demodicosis in six dogs within four weeks, resolving clinical signs without adverse reactions.

In this study, a novel VDR gene mutation was identified in a child with HVDRR, and the researchers observed that high-dose intravenous calcium therapy led to significant and sustained improvement in rickets symptoms.

This study reported a case of hereditary vitamin D–resistant rickets caused by a single heterozygous missense mutation in the VDR gene, showing dominant-negative effects and reduced response to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3.

In this study, researchers identified a novel p.R50X mutation in the vitamin D receptor gene, linked to hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets in two siblings.

This study identified a novel I268T mutation in the vitamin D receptor that reduces its function, contributing to hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets, and found that a potent vitamin D analog could improve receptor function.

This study found that two-thirds of patients with persistent chronic daily headache showed significant improvement with divalproex sodium treatment, although common side effects included weight gain, tremor, hair loss, and nausea.

In this study, two-thirds of patients with persistent chronic daily headache significantly improved with divalproex sodium treatment, while liver functions remained unaffected.

In this study, researchers highlighted that in sarcoidosis, macrophages in granulomas can produce vitamin D, potentially leading to calcium imbalances, where vitamin D supplementation may cause hypercalcemia, necessitating careful laboratory assessment before supplementation.

This study found that the vitamin D receptor in lampreys, which lack bones and hair, binds 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and may function to induce enzymes for detoxifying substances.

This study presents a compilation of dermatological disorders that are descriptively compared to the "Navaratnas," or nine planetary gems from Vedic astrology, highlighting unique diagnostic terms and their clinical presentations to make dermatology more accessible and memorable for practitioners and patients.

This review discusses challenges in managing cutaneous drug reactions to anticonvulsants and reports no new clinical findings; the authors emphasize the complexity of discontinuing or rechallenging suspected agents.
