This case report describes a 19-year-old patient with systemic lupus and a composite heterozygosis SC with thalassemic component, highlighting the diagnostic challenge when symptoms of both conditions occur simultaneously.

In this case-control study using the All of Us database, no significant association was observed between alopecia areata and venous thromboembolism after controlling for hypercoagulable risk factors.

A woman with lupus and antiphospholipid syndrome had bone damage, showing the need for careful treatment.

This study investigated different centrifugation systems and found that low-speed protocols and certified centrifuges produced better-quality platelet-rich fibrin and recommended using FDA-approved glass tubes for safe and effective regenerative outcomes.

Trauma can cause fat inflammation and abnormal hair growth.

This article reviews androgen excess and cardiometabolic risks in women, highlighting increased cardiovascular disease risk in those with polycystic ovary syndrome, but reports no new clinical results.

This article reports two cases where ovarian hyperthecosis caused hyperandrogenism in postmenopausal women, confirmed by imaging and resolved after bilateral oophorectomy.

The authors concluded that controlling voltage, pulse width, and calcium concentration in pulse electric field-activated platelet-rich plasma enhances the release of growth factors and serotonin without causing clot formation, suggesting potential clinical advantages over bovine thrombin-activated PRP.

This review discusses anticoagulant and antihypertensive medications as potential contributors to medication-induced telogen effluvium and reports no new clinical results.

This systematic review and meta-analysis found that hidradenitis suppurativa is associated with an increased risk of major adverse cardiac events, including cerebrovascular accidents and myocardial infarction, although study heterogeneity affects the magnitude of risk.

This case report describes a 27-year-old male who developed a frontal scalp hematoma after platelet-rich plasma therapy and suggests that topical minoxidil may contribute to this side effect.

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 study introduces a tabletop technique demonstrating that endogenous biomagnetic fields from human hair can induce red blood cells agglutination and Rouleaux formations.

In this study of women with hirsutism or androgenic alopecia, diverse underlying endocrine disorders including polycystic ovaries and various enzyme deficiencies were detected, often associated with elevated testosterone levels.

This review article discusses recent progress in chitosan-based hemostatic hydrogels, highlighting their unique properties, such as biocompatibility and enhanced hemostatic performance, compared to traditional materials. The authors summarize their hemostatic mechanisms and future potential in improving emergency bleeding control.

This study reviews current methods for making and using platelet-rich plasma and fibrin, emphasizing the variability in clinical outcomes due to differences in preparation protocols, and calls for standardized guidelines and large-scale studies for better effectiveness in regenerative medicine.

This case report highlights the need for early diagnosis and treatment of ovarian hyperthecosis to enhance the quality of life and health outcomes for affected patients.

This study suggests that extracting hair proteins at relatively high temperatures may enhance their hemostatic properties by altering their secondary structure and increasing the precipitation of soluble fibrinogen.

This study demonstrated that treating platelet-rich plasma with ozone or procaine in vitro led to distinct changes in platelet activity, significantly enhancing the release of platelet-derived factors without damaging the platelets, indicating potential for improved regenerative therapies.

This review discusses factors influencing angiogenesis, focusing on vascular permeability factor as a key inducer and thrombospondin as a notable inhibitor, and recommends exploring molecular mechanisms for therapeutic interventions.

Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause skin darkening and increased blood vessels, but treatment can improve symptoms.

This review discusses the use of inorganic-based biomaterials for hemostasis and wound healing, including various preparation methods and mechanisms, but reports no new clinical results.

Hair transplant surgery using micropunch can cause blood vessel damage similar to vasculitis in some cases.

This study found that renin and d-dimer levels were significantly higher in PCOS patients, particularly those also infected with COVID-19, compared to non-PCOS women.

This study observed that among male patients who experienced telogen effluvium after platelet-rich plasma treatment for androgenic alopecia, there were elevated levels of TNF-α, androgen receptors, and altered 5α-reductase gene expression, suggesting these factors as potential contributors to this unintended outcome.

This study used a probabilistic framework to show that platelet-rich plasma preparation results in significant variability in platelet dose due to factors like injected volume and concentration factor.

This study found that age is the most significant risk factor for hemorrhagic cystitis after hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation, with additional risk factors including cyclophosphamide-based prophylaxis and, among male recipients, prostatic hyperplasia.

This study found that post-COVID-19 telogen effluvium is strongly associated with elevated oxidative stress marker sRAGE and reduced antioxidant marker HO-1, suggesting potential biomarkers for early diagnosis and monitoring.

This study found that in healthy individuals, TGF-β1 levels in platelet-rich plasma are significantly higher when extracted using the buffy coat method compared to the pure method, with additional gender differences observed only in the buffy coat PRP.

In this case study, hypertrichosis in a patient with hemophilia and hepatitis C may have been induced by IFN-alpha treatment, despite the drug usually causing hair loss.
