May 2025 in “Frontiers in Medicine” In this case series, dual-targeted therapy was observed to provide promising clinical responses in refractory inflammatory bowel disease, with 88.23% to 100% response rates across 9 months and an endoscopic response in 88.89% of evaluated patients, though some adverse events occurred.
April 2023 in “Al-Azhar International Medical Journal /Al-Azhar International Medical Journal” This study found that both trichoscopy and folliscopy are highly accurate for diagnosing telogen effluvium, but trichoscopy is easier and quicker to perform.
