Low oxygen and metabolic changes help organoids grow and repair tissues.

A young woman's Cronkhite-Canada syndrome improved on its own after she gave birth.

This study reviewed medical records of tinea capitis patients at a clinic in Surabaya, finding that the condition predominantly affected young males and was often associated with contact with cats.

This study reported that tinea capitis, though rare in infants under 1 year, should be suspected in those with hair loss or scalp inflammation and can be effectively treated with specific antifungal medications.

In this study, stress levels measured through hair cortisol concentration gradually increased in the days before an acute myocardial infarction, peaking 15 days before the episode in male patients.

In this overview of COPD exacerbations, it was reported that these events, often triggered by respiratory viruses, not only worsen symptoms but also increase the risk of cardiac events, highlighting the importance of early detection and prevention strategies such as vaccinations and new biologic therapies.

In this study, sodium valproate achieved complete seizure control in 82% of children as monotherapy, with higher plasma levels potentially linked to resistant cases.

This study found that hair cortisol concentrations in mother-daughter pairs are a potential biomarker for cortisol responses to chronic stress, with daughter-mother similarities affected by parenting styles and children's symptoms.

This study found that sustained intracellular acidosis in mice was associated with shortened lifespan, early aging signs, and impaired autophagy.

This study found that scalp cooling effectively reduces chemotherapy-induced hair loss, especially with taxane-based regimens, and recent U.S. trials support its safety, despite logistical and insurance challenges.

This study identified 16 novel high sulfur KAP genes and two KAP pseudogenes on chromosome 21q23, showing expression in a specific region of the hair fiber cuticle.

This case report describes an isolated DHEA-S secreting adrenocortical carcinoma in a 52-year-old woman who presented without typical hyperandrogenic symptoms.

This study reviewed existing literature on Tinea Capitis, highlighting its frequent occurrence in children, the ease of fungal spread from humans or animals, and the necessity for prompt and proper antifungal treatment due to potential drug resistance and complications like alopecia.

This review discusses pediculosis capitis, emphasizing its diagnosis and treatment strategies, but reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight the need for concurrent treatment of all close contacts.

This study found a strong dose-related increase in the risk of intracranial meningiomas associated with high doses of cyproterone acetate, with some reduction in risk after stopping the treatment.

This case report describes a child with tinea capitis who experienced complete lesion remission and hair regrowth after early diagnosis and treatment with antifungal medications, highlighting the importance of timely management to prevent complications like scarring and permanent hair loss.

This study found that chronic ethanol exposure and withdrawal alter the expression and function of GABA-A receptors in rat hippocampal and cerebellar neurons, suggesting different roles for these receptors in controlling tonic inhibition.

This study found that in laboratory rats, toxic concentrations of hydrogen sulfide affected the immune system differently depending on age and immune suppression status, with notable changes in immune cell levels and phagocytosis, suggesting significant roles in age-associated pathologies.

In this study, Trichophyton tonsurans and Microsporum canis were identified as the primary causes of tinea capitis, with terbinafine treatment showing the highest cure rate. Non-commercial kits surpassed real-time PCR commercial kits in specificity and sensitivity for diagnosis.

This article presents a case report of a patient with multiple health conditions and persistent fatigue and dyspnea, but no definitive diagnosis was reached.

This study found no significant differences in length of stay, mechanical ventilation use, or mortality between hospitalized bronchiectasis patients with and without obstructive sleep apnea.

This article recounts a series of "hair burning syncope" cases in black girls experiencing seizures during hair grooming with hot irons, without presenting new research findings.

This study reports an increase in tinea capitis cases in Spain caused by anthropophilic dermatophytes, associated with immigration from Africa, and highlights potential public health concerns due to easier transmission.

In this study, researchers found that sepsis or septic shock significantly increased the risk of patient-reported alopecia in survivors of critical illness.

In this study, researchers used EHR data from two large PCORnet networks to identify a range of long COVID diagnoses, highlighting varying post-acute risks across populations in NYC and Florida.

This review observed that recent trials in the United States reported scalp cooling devices being effective and well tolerated for many patients in preventing chemotherapy-induced alopecia, with hair retention rates varying based on specific chemotherapy drugs and regimens.

This study found that the PPARγ modulator NAC-GED-0507-Levo may protect hair follicles from chemotherapy-induced damage, potentially offering a strategy to address irreversible hair loss in cancer patients.

This case report identifies a 32-year-old woman with undiagnosed PHPT-1a who exhibited complete pseudo-anodontia and persistent patchy alopecia areata, suggesting these may be new nonclassical features of a GNAS pathogenic variant.
