This study reports a case linking the use of the herbal supplement He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum) to acute hepatocellular hepatitis, highlighting potential herb-induced liver injury.

This study reports that saw palmetto may effectively treat benign prostatic hyperplasia symptoms and potentially stimulate hair growth with generally mild side effects.

This article reviews strategies for serological testing in diagnosing ILD linked to systemic rheumatic diseases and introduces a potential diagnostic algorithm for pulmonologists, while noting further validation is needed.

This review discusses biotin supplementation for dermatological conditions and highlights the lack of strong evidence supporting its efficacy, as well as the potential for laboratory testing interference.

This case series observed the diagnostic challenges of secondary syphilis, highlighting diverse presentations such as rashes and systemic symptoms that can mimic other conditions, underscoring the importance of dermatological review, serological testing, and interdisciplinary care for effective treatment and management.

This case report describes a patient with a hepatitis C diagnosis whose acral rash, initially unresponsive to psoriasis treatment, showed significant improvement with oral zinc sulfate, suggesting a diagnosis of necrolytic acral erythema.

This review describes how liver and kidney diseases and diabetes may affect ethyl glucuronide levels in hair, impacting forensic and clinical interpretations, but reports no new experimental results.

This case report highlights a patient who developed pancytopenia, transaminase elevation, and alopecia after consuming large amounts of veterinary albendazole purchased online, which he used without medical supervision.

This review outlines the various adverse reactions to biologic therapies in Allergy/Immunology, emphasizing the clinical and management challenges due to overlapping reaction phenotypes and the need for more refined diagnostic and management strategies.

In this case study, scurvy was diagnosed in a middle-aged man on hemodialysis with food insecurity and undetectable vitamin C levels, highlighting the diverse risk factors and persistent challenges in managing vitamin C deficiency among patients with complex medical and social issues.

This study found that in lamivudine-resistant hepatitis B patients, tenofovir significantly reduced HBV DNA levels faster and more consistently than adefovir, reaching undetectable levels in all treated patients by 44 weeks.

This article discusses the decline in recognition and appropriate testing of syphilis by medical students due to limited clinical exposure and inconsistent education, with no new clinical results reported.

This review discusses adverse effects associated with pegylated IFN therapy for chronic hepatitis C and highlights the potential of new antiviral drugs to reduce side effects and improve treatment adherence, but reports no new clinical results.
