This study observed that areas with low socio-demographic index showed the greatest rise in the disease burden of alopecia areata from 1990 to 2019, while high SDI areas still carried the highest burden overall.

This study found that systematic review and protocol topics in the Cochrane Database for skin conditions are partly aligned with disease burden metrics, with some conditions overrepresented and others underrepresented compared to their disability-adjusted life years.

Different factors like age, size, and location of subway stations affect sales of hair salons, coffee shops, and convenience stores in Seoul differently.

This study found that conditional knockout of N-WASP in keratinocytes of mice led to skin barrier defects, increased immune cell infiltration, and hyperproliferation of keratinocytes, indicating its crucial role in skin homeostasis.

This study reports that the global age-standardized incidence and disability-adjusted life-year rates of alopecia areata decreased from 1990 to 2019, with the highest increases in incidence seen in some low SDI regions and countries like Kuwait and South Sudan.

This study found that alopecia areata patients had significantly higher levels of interleukin-6 compared to healthy controls.

In this study, researchers highlighted the high global prevalence of immune-related skin diseases like dermatitis and psoriasis, noting that females are disproportionately affected, emphasizing the need for tailored public health strategies based on sex and region.

In this study, researchers found that dermatological diseases like atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and hidradenitis suppurativa impact women's work performance and daily activities more severely than men's, with women reporting higher absenteeism and work impairment and lower work ability scores.

This study identified that while the overall burden of AA among adolescents and young adults globally continues to rise, the age-standardized rates have slightly decreased, with notable disparities across age, gender, region, and socioeconomic status.

This study found that while the global incidence of alopecia areata in individuals aged 0–19 declined from 1990-2021, the total number of cases rose, with higher burdens among females, adolescents, and low-SDI populations, particularly in Central Sub-Saharan Africa; disparities suggest a need for targeted interventions.

This study found that pityriasis capitis was the most common skin disease among 507 hostellers in Pudukottai, followed by acne vulgaris and pediculosis capitis, with factors such as poor hygiene, lack of sunscreen use, junk food intake, and stress contributing to their prevalence.

This study found that FDA-cleared devices for preparing platelet-rich plasma showed inconsistent product quality, with variable platelet counts and inadequate quality control performance, suggesting clinical improvement may not rely on platelet concentration.

This review reports that alopecia areata affects about 2% of people globally and is linked with psychiatric and medical comorbidities, highlighting its significant disease burden.

In this study, researchers found no significant association between the D19S884 marker near the insulin receptor gene and polycystic ovary syndrome in women from Spain and Italy.

This article proposes criteria to differentiate between medicalization and over-medicalization, examining the consequences and ethical considerations of misidentifying medical issues, and suggests guideline questions to help draw clearer boundaries in medicine.

Gepant medications for migraines show varied safety profiles in this study, with specific adverse events reported across systems like gastrointestinal and skin disorders, highlighting the need for tailored treatment and monitoring.

Pollution exposure speeds up hair damage.

This study highlights the urgent need for health policies in Korea that focus on diseases with rising burdens and groups experiencing high health burdens, as a step toward improving population health and achieving health equity.

This review presents current evidence on medicinal plants and their phytoconstituents, such as phenolic compounds, used in acne treatment, highlighting their potential as alternatives to conventional therapies due to issues like antibiotic resistance and high cost.

This scoping review found a high prevalence of skin conditions among older people living at home, but available evidence on burden and effective care strategies is limited.

This joint position paper by several Polish medical societies examines guidelines and recommendations for managing conditions like obesity, hypertension, and liver disease, underscoring the importance of a collaborative, interdisciplinary approach in treatment. Results are not explicitly reported.

This study highlights the need to prioritize early prevention of type 2 diabetes mellitus by focusing on early pathophysiologic mechanisms such as insulin resistance, rather than hyperglycemia, as conditions like non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and polycystic ovarian syndrome are early indicators of future diabetes risk.

This study developed dissolving microneedles using specific polymers for transdermal delivery of rizatriptan benzoate, demonstrating improved drug skin penetration and significant alleviation of migraine symptoms in vivo compared to passive diffusion, suggesting potential advantages over conventional treatment methods for acute migraine.

This study reported that patients with alopecia areata or alopecia totalis/universalis have a slightly increased overall cancer risk compared to controls, with specific increases in thyroid, bladder, and prostate cancers depending on the alopecia type.

In this study, adolescent patients undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery at a specialized center experienced significant reductions in BMI over 36 months, with no major perioperative complications, highlighting the procedure's safety and effectiveness for treating adolescent obesity in experienced settings.

This study found that protein arginine methylation levels in human hair may correlate with a cardiovascular biomarker in blood, suggesting hair sampling as a potential non-invasive method for cardiovascular risk assessment.

This study reports that discrepancies in adverse event reporting for clinical blood pressure trials undermine the reliability of safety data, suggesting a need for standardized reporting guidelines to improve trustworthiness.
