This study found distinct hair metal profiles in Parkinson's disease patients, with lower iron and copper, higher manganese and arsenic, and explored their link to gut dysfunction and microbiota dysbiosis, suggesting hair metal analysis as a promising diagnostic tool.

In this Delphi study, international experts established consensus-based guidelines for diagnosing and managing persistent chemotherapy-induced alopecia (pCIA), recommending prevention through scalp cooling and early use of minoxidil, while advising against bicalutamide and certain finasterides for breast cancer patients due to safety concerns.

This study observed distinct plasma miRNA profiles in alopecia areata, identifying several miRNAs downregulated in both mild and severe forms; machine learning models demonstrated strong predictive accuracy, and kinase inhibitors were suggested as promising therapeutic targets based on pathway analysis.

This study evaluated a new AI-linked imaging device for grading dandruff severity, finding high correlation with expert assessments and suggesting its potential application in other skincare areas due to its versatility and ease of use.

This review highlights that diagnosing cicatricial alopecia, a hair loss condition linked to several autoimmune diseases, requires trichoscopy and histopathological examination to differentiate it from similar conditions, with early diagnosis being crucial for effective management.

This review highlights that recent advancements in diagnostics and therapies, including AI-enhanced imaging, biomarker analysis, and novel treatments like low-dose oral minoxidil and JAK inhibitors, are improving the precision and customization of hair loss management.

In this study, researchers observed that twins with a novel de novo nonsense variant in HRAS exhibited distinctive features, including neuropsychiatric symptoms, potentially indicating a wider clinical spectrum for conditions known as RASopathies.

This study identified key content for pharmacy professionals' education on handling cytotoxic drugs, highlighting training in aseptic techniques, PPE use, and spill management, and recommended developing guidelines with both theoretical and practical learning components to enhance their implementation.

This review synthesizes current evidence on alopecia areata, detailing its clinical features, pathogenesis, and treatment options, but does not present new clinical results.

This consensus from the Taiwanese Dermatological Association suggests that for mild to moderate alopecia areata, first-line treatments may include topical or intralesional corticosteroids, possibly with topical minoxidil, while severe cases might require systemic corticosteroids or Janus kinase inhibitors.

This article discusses the challenges and considerations in drug repurposing, particularly the importance of dose finding studies when adapting drugs for new indications, and reports no new clinical results.

This case report highlights a 34-year-old woman with traction alopecia, where diagnosis was clarified by the presence of peripilar keratin sheaths, a useful dermoscopic clue.

This research explored the use of machine learning and deep learning methods to accurately identify alopecia areata in humans by analyzing facial images and demonstrated the potential of these techniques for medical, security, and commercial applications.

This case report describes a patient with a hepatitis C diagnosis whose acral rash, initially unresponsive to psoriasis treatment, showed significant improvement with oral zinc sulfate, suggesting a diagnosis of necrolytic acral erythema.

This study found that in patients with non-cicatricial alopecia, hair follicles and their sheaths were thinner compared to controls, especially in cases of alopecia areata and telogen effluvium, with notable thinning beginning in the subcutaneous fat tissue.

This article presents a unique case of post-partum panhypopituitarism and autoimmune conditions in a 37-year-old woman from Africa, emphasizing the need for early diagnosis and treatment to improve outcomes in similar settings.
