This study developed a new multifunctional medical dressing using Bletilla striata polysaccharide and ethanol extract that demonstrated hemostatic, antibacterial, and significant wound healing effects, as evidenced by quicker healing rates and improved skin conditions in treated wounds compared to controls.

This study found that plasma zinc concentrations were significantly lower in patients with alcoholic cirrhosis, especially those with skin manifestations of zinc deficiency, compared to control subjects.

This study found that while ethnic hair types share a common fibrous keratin structure, variations in keratin-associated proteins and lipids may lead to different macroscopic hair characteristics.

Allopregnanolone likely doesn't influence ethanol's rewarding effects in these mice.

This study highlights positive trends in female representation but persistent underrepresentation of underrepresented minorities in dermatology residencies and fellowships compared to national averages in other fields.

This study identifies important differences in allergens found in hair products marketed for ethnic hair compared to nonethnic hair, with fragrances being the most common allergen in ethnic products.

In this study, Hispanic individuals in Northern Nevada were found to be disproportionately affected by COVID-19, although they had lower mortality rates compared to their non-Hispanic counterparts.

Different hair types from various ethnic groups affect hair shine due to characteristics like thickness and shape.

In this phase II clinical study, combining anlotinib with standard platinum-based chemotherapy showed promising outcomes and prognosis in treating extensive small-cell lung cancer, with high disease control and response rates.

This study reviews current research to better understand how various environmental and lifestyle factors, collectively known as the exposome, impact hair health and aging, acknowledging that the detailed mechanisms remain partially understood.

In this study, Ganoderma lucidum extract combined with microneedle therapy promoted hair growth more effectively than microneedle therapy alone in a mouse model of alopecia.

This study found that extracts from the medicinal plants *Echinops echinatus* and *Tridax procumbens* displayed antimicrobial activity against several bacteria, including *Escherichia coli* and *Staphylococcus aureus*, and identified various compounds like flavonoids and terpenoids potentially responsible for these effects.

The authors concluded that finasteride and dutasteride might have serious side effects, including persistent sexual dysfunction for some, necessitating further research and vigilant risk-benefit analysis.
