This study observed that Gamma Knife radiosurgery is generally well tolerated, with some patients experiencing minimal acute complications like scalp numbness and fatigue, and most returning to work shortly after the procedure.

In this experimental study, the researchers developed and evaluated a hair tonic made from mangosteen peel extract, finding that all four tested formulations showed suitable physical characteristics and met standard requirements for attributes like pH, viscosity, and stability.

In a keratinocyte-specific knockout mouse model, this study found that deleting GRK2 disrupted hair follicle homeostasis, causing cyst-like structures, abnormal growth patterns, and eventual hair loss, suggesting potential links to immune-mediated alopecias.

This study found that a high-fat diet in macaques led to severe gastrointestinal inflammation and chronic wasting, with more pronounced effects in females, highlighting the potential risks of certain dietary interventions in obesity models.

This study reports that 71% of patients treated with the gamma-secretase inhibitor PF-03084014 for desmoid tumors experienced dermatologic side effects, such as follicular lesions and pruritic eruptions, which were managed with topical or systemic treatments.

This study modified nanocomposites with citric acid and hydrazine for potential dual use in cancer imaging and treatment, suggesting they might reduce side effects of traditional chemotherapy.

This review describes the link between obesity and gastrointestinal conditions, highlighting the need for more research to understand their pathophysiology and develop new treatments; it presents no new findings.

In this study, dried Gambhari fruit extract was found to increase cell viability and growth of human follicle dermal papilla cells in vitro, showing potential hair growth-promoting activity comparable to Minoxidil 5% at selected concentrations.

In this study, the researchers observed that gastrointestinal side effects, such as flatulence and abdominal discomfort, were more common in patients taking low-dose oral minoxidil, especially among males and those using concurrent vasodilators.

This study synthesized silver nanoparticles using Gandaria stem bark extract, finding that nanoparticles at a 4% concentration were particularly effective for selectively detecting mercury over lead and calcium, making them suitable as preliminary detection materials for mercury in facial whitening creams.

This research discusses the concept of "Gara Visha" in Ayurveda, highlighting how long-term exposure to certain hair cosmetics can cause gradual toxicity, leading to hair loss and skin issues, and emphasizes Ayurvedic treatments alongside avoiding harmful substances to manage these effects.

This study developed a herbal hair oil using garlic leaves, coconut oil, castor oil, hibiscus flower powder, and amla extract, finding it enhances scalp nutrition, reduces hair loss, and maintains favorable aesthetic attributes with appropriate stability and consistency for hair application.

This study found that treating human hair with vitamin E and γ-oryzanol significantly reduced UV-B-induced structural damage, with γ-oryzanol providing greater protection, especially in female hair samples. The findings highlight these compounds' potential as cost-effective solutions for preserving hair integrity against UV damage.

This study evaluated polyherbal formulations for managing hair issues such as dandruff, dryness, premature greying, baldness, and hair fall, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study assesses the effectiveness of polyherbal formulations in managing hair issues such as dandruff, dryness, premature greying, baldness, and excessive hair fall, in response to increasing hair loss among younger individuals due to stress, poor diet, and chemical use.

This study found that a chitosan, chondroitin sulfate, and hyaluronic acid scaffold improved wound healing in rats by promoting immune-stromal interactions, reducing inflammation, and supporting tissue regeneration with ~91% wound closure by day 17 compared to ~63% in controls.

This case report highlighted two instances of bezoar disease: a massive gastric trichobezoar in a teenage girl and multiple gastrointestinal phytobezoars in an adult man, underscoring the importance of CT imaging for diagnosis and the effectiveness of surgical intervention for removing large or multiple bezoars.

This source highlights that gastric trichobezoar, although rare in children under 3, should be suspected in cases of chronic vomiting and gastric masses, with surgical removal as definitive treatment; multidisciplinary intervention is crucial to prevent serious complications and recurrence.

This narrative review explores existing evidence on zinc's impact in certain immune-related, gastrointestinal, dermatological, and metabolic disorders, considering clinical and observational studies to assess zinc supplementation's clinical relevance.

This study developed and validated a Gas Chromatography-Flame Ionization Detection method for assessing minoxidil, which shows good precision, accuracy, and specificity for quality control and pharmacokinetic studies.

This review assesses the potential of ginger, garlic, onion, and clove as complementary herbal treatments for hair and scalp health, reporting that onion juice shows the strongest clinical evidence for hair regrowth, particularly in alopecia areata, while garlic exhibits promising preclinical regenerative effects.

This review evaluates herbal botanicals like onion, garlic, ginger, and clove for hair and scalp health, noting that onion juice shows the strongest clinical evidence for hair regrowth particularly in alopecia areata, although these cannot replace traditional medical treatments.

This study observed that in human scalp hair follicles, BTNL2 expression is lower in stressed conditions, which correlates with increased cytotoxic activity by gamma/delta and CD8+ T cells, suggesting a possible role for BTNL2 in controlling immune responses relevant to alopecia areata.

In a study using a rat model of hypertrophic scars, researchers found that gamma-irradiated human amniotic fluid improved wound healing, collagen remodelling, immune response, and scar characteristics more effectively than saline or non-irradiated amniotic fluid, indicating its potential for clinical applications in scar management.

In this study, a mouse model with a PIK3CA gain-of-function mutation in Schwann cells revealed unique communication with neighboring cells and a glycolytic shift in peripheral nerves, and early alpelisib treatment significantly improved symptoms, though efficacy declined with delayed administration due to limited drug penetration.

This case report describes a young female with pediatric SLE and latent TB who was found to have gastrointestinal tuberculosis, a rarely recognized and often misdiagnosed condition, highlighting the diagnostic challenges and need for early recognition in such cases.

This study found that a lotion containing an alpha lipoic acid derivative increased hair diameter in chemotherapy patients with gastric or colorectal cancer, while those not using the lotion had more pronounced hair loss, suggesting potential benefits in managing chemotherapy-induced alopecia.

In this study, a 50-year-old woman with symptoms of thyroid dysfunction improved after receiving Ayurvedic treatment with Gandharvahastadi Kwath and lifestyle modifications, which alleviated symptoms like fatigue, muscle cramps, and dry skin, and normalized her TSH levels.
