February 2026 in “Molecular Imaging and Radionuclide Therapy” In this study, male patients treated with 150 mCi of radioactive iodine showed no negative impact on fertility, but long-term studies with larger groups are needed to further assess hormonal effects and sperm health after this treatment.
January 2026 in “Journal of Crohn s and Colitis” This study found that high-dose intravenous iron therapy was effective and safe for patients with inflammatory bowel disease-associated anemia, improving hemoglobin and iron levels, reducing inflammation markers, and alleviating disease activity and symptoms, even in those with active inflammation.
December 2025 in “International Journal of Dermatology” This systematic review reported that while combining low-dose oral minoxidil with Janus kinase inhibitors may enhance treatment outcomes in alopecia areata, the evidence remains weak due to limited sample sizes and potential publication bias, and more rigorous trials are necessary to assess efficacy and safety.
July 2025 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that high-dose UVA-1 therapy appeared to improve both patient-reported outcomes and objective clinical measures in patients with morphea and systemic sclerosis, supporting its potential efficacy for treating scleroderma.
This study outlines a planned double-blind, randomized controlled trial to assess the efficacy of two different doses of PRP injections for moderate carpal tunnel syndrome, focusing on variations in symptom severity, ultrasound parameters, and nerve electrophysiology, though results are not yet reported.
June 2025 in “Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology” May 2025 in “Actas Dermo-Sifiliográficas” This study evaluated high-dose oral minoxidil treatment in 57 patients with androgenetic alopecia and found it improved hair density by 10-30% in most cases, but 24.6% experienced adverse effects like hypertrichosis and tachycardia, indicating further research is needed to optimize safety and efficacy.
March 2025 in “Scientific Reports” This study found a complex relationship between cumulative doses of 5-ARIs and all-cause mortality among BPH or AGA patients, with lower doses linked to higher suicide rates and higher doses reducing cardiovascular mortality risk.
February 2025 in “Actas Dermo-Sifiliográficas” This study found that oral minoxidil can improve hair and eyebrow growth and increase the density of the frontotemporal hairline in patients with FFA, though adverse effects were reported by a third of participants.
January 2025 in “International Journal of Pharmacology” This study observed significant clinical effects, such as hair loss and testicular changes, in common quail treated with the steroids IVF-C Inj and Diane-35, especially highlighting cyproterone acetate's impact on vital organs like the liver.
December 2024 in “Journal of Applied Toxicology” This study evaluated the potential toxicity of oral dihydroartemisinin in SD rats, finding that female rats experienced greater toxic effects than males, particularly at higher doses, but these effects were reversible after a 4-week recovery period.
December 2024 in “Jurnal Mandala Pharmacon Indonesia” In this study, high-dose oral administration of Ramania leaf ethanol extract in Wistar rats resulted in no significant acute toxicity symptoms, though gastric ulcers and hair loss were observed. The extract is classified as non-toxic under specified guidelines, with an LD50 greater than 5000 mg/kg.
March 2024 in “Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology”
This study reported that rapamycin reduced murine cochlear organoid proliferation depending on concentration, but at a 10-nM dose, it significantly increased hair cell differentiation by enriching SOX2+ progenitors while suppressing cells lacking Sox2 at early proliferation stages.
April 2023 in “Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)” This case study reported significant improvement in autoimmune-related symptoms, including complete hair regrowth, in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus and alopecia areata after treatment with the LGS Protocol.
January 2018 in “Journal of Crohn s and Colitis” This study found that high-dose intravenous ferric carboxymaltose may reduce inflammatory activity in patients with inflammatory bowel disease and iron deficiency anaemia, as evidenced by decreased CRP levels and improved clinical disease indices.
April 2017 in “The FASEB Journal” This study suggests that excess dietary vitamin A may arrest hair follicles in refractory telogen in mice, while adequate levels promote competent telogen, revealing dose-dependent effects on hair cycling.
June 2013 in “Annals of the rheumatic diseases” This study concluded that while methotrexate-related adverse events were infrequent in early rheumatoid arthritis patients taking adalimumab, some increased with higher methotrexate doses, suggesting use of the lowest effective dose.
