Measuring cortisol in hair helps understand stress and manage related health issues.

This study evaluated a herbal scalp serum containing Phyllanthus Emblica, hibiscus, Vitamin E, aloe Vera, and citrus oil, finding it stable and possessing good antibacterial activity.

In this study, hairline lowering using the Endotine Forehead-mini showed significant, sustained improvement in facial harmony with a reduction in the upper facial third ratio; however, 26% of patients experienced complications, including transient alopecia and the need for additional surgery.

In this case series, the authors reported that postmenopausal hyperandrogenism should be carefully evaluated to diagnose potential androgen-secreting tumors, with Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors identified as a common cause.

This meta-analysis found that deuruxolitinib significantly improved hair regrowth and patient satisfaction in those with moderate to severe alopecia areata compared to placebo, though it was associated with manageable side effects such as elevated creatinine kinase levels, headaches, and acne, especially at higher doses.

This systematic review and meta-analysis reported that deuruxolitinib is effective for hair regrowth and improving patient-reported outcomes in individuals with moderate to severe alopecia areata, but observed manageable treatment-emergent adverse events such as elevated creatinine kinase levels and headaches, particularly with higher doses.

This study reported that albino Wistar rats exposed to chemical hair straighteners showed significant hair fiber damage and scalp skin deterioration, which worsened with repeated and prolonged application, highlighting the cytotoxic potential of these products and potential systemic risks.

This narrative discusses the benefits of herbal scalp serum ingredients for hair health but reports no new clinical findings, emphasizing its formulation stability and antibacterial activity.

This review assessed the role of scalp hair Survivin protein in individuals with premature graying, exploring its potential involvement in graying-related processes and highlighting its overexpression in autoimmune diseases that may influence the survival of specific immune cell clones.

In this study, finasteride reduced oxidative stress, apoptosis, and inflammation in liver, kidney, and testis tissues of diabetic rats while boosting antioxidants, indicating potential protective effects that require further human trials for clinical application.

This systematic review examined the potential of microneedling for anterior neck scars but found no eligible studies directly investigating this application. Indirect evidence from other body regions suggests possible benefits, underscoring the need for targeted research to validate these findings for neck surgery patients.

In this case study, a 17-year-old male using topical minoxidil 5% for beard growth developed peripheral edema, which resolved after discontinuing the drug, highlighting a rare but significant systemic side effect of minoxidil's use.

This study reports the draft genome sequence of the endangered Indus River dolphin and suggests potential genetic adaptations to freshwater environments, including specialized skin features and immune adaptations, while also highlighting historical and human-induced factors contributing to its low genetic diversity.

This article reviewed literature from 2013-2023 and found that while varied treatment options for PCOS exist, managing the condition holistically, including lifestyle changes and gastric bypass surgery, can significantly improve symptoms and quality of life without worsening side effects.

This review discusses central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in adult women of African descent and reports no clinical results; the authors highlight traditional treatments and their impact on quality of life.
