This review highlights the potential of near-infrared light therapy to improve metabolic, antioxidant, and cognitive functions without adverse effects, and supports its use for visual and neurological conditions through molecular and cellular mechanisms, as reported in this source.

In a retrospective study, researchers found that topical spironolactone improved tear film quality and reduced inflammation related to meibomian gland dysfunction and evaporative dry eye in patients, demonstrating good tolerability and suggesting it as a potential therapy for managing the condition.

This study found that trichoscopy can be a helpful, noninvasive tool for identifying specific patterns that correlate with the clinical activity and severity of alopecia areata, enhancing its diagnosis and monitoring.

This study identified a coexpression network and key genes associated with thyroid eye disease, potentially aiding in its treatment and diagnosis.

This review synthesizes current evidence on platelet-rich plasma for dry eye disease and reports no new results; the authors emphasize the need for standardized trials to validate these approaches.

This study found no significant differences in dry eye disease parameters between female patients with androgenetic alopecia and healthy controls, although meibum quality was better in the alopecia group, suggesting complex hormonal interplay affecting ocular health.

This study found that men with androgenetic alopecia had significantly higher rates of dry eye symptoms and meibomian gland dysfunction compared to healthy controls, suggesting a potential link between the condition and these ocular issues.

This case study reports the first clinical case of besnoitiosis in two donkeys in Italy, suggesting a wider distribution of the disease in European equids than previously expected.

This study found that combined intense pulsed light and low-level light therapy significantly improved ocular surface outcomes and quality of life for patients with meibomian gland dysfunction and dry eye disease.

This review examines various new approaches for treating dry eye disease, including biomaterials, regenerative therapy, and tissue engineering, and emphasizes the need for clinical efficacy studies to advance these therapies for human use.

This article discusses the potential health risks associated with long-term use of finasteride and dutasteride for prostate and hair loss treatments, suggesting risks may include non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and other metabolic issues.

In this study, primary cilia were found to contribute to meibomian gland enlargement and lipid production, though they are not necessary for normal gland development.

This article reviews various "white diseases" characterized by hypopigmentation or depigmentation and emphasizes the role of melanosomes in skin and eye color, but it does not present new clinical results.

This study discusses the expanding use of microneedles beyond transdermal drug delivery, highlighting recent advancements for treating hair loss, eye diseases, and oral disorders, while emphasizing future challenges in generalizing this technology.

This review concluded that near-infrared and red light photobiomodulation shows potential for certain ocular conditions like age-related macular degeneration and dry eye disease, but clinical evidence is still mixed and insufficient to establish it as a standard therapy.

This study found that among pediatric patients with inborn errors of immunity, severe COVID-19 was linked to chronic lung disease, hypogammaglobulinemia, and musculoskeletal abnormalities, with chronic pulmonary illness being a major risk factor, while long-term effects included fatigue, hair loss, and red eye.

This study found no significant difference in SARS-CoV2 IgG seroconversion rates between patients with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases treated with targeted immune-modulating therapies and those on conventional systemic treatments.
