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.

This study found that thrombocytopenia is a common side effect of valproic acid, affecting up to 54% of elderly patients, but it is under-investigated despite significant therapeutic consequences.

In this study, researchers found that the variability in growth factor expression, particularly TGFβ1, in PRP samples could influence patient responses to hair loss treatment with PRP therapy.

This case report highlights the successful use of platelet-rich plasma infiltration to treat vasopressin-induced bilateral foot digit gangrene in a 20-year-old female, suggesting its potential in stimulating angiogenesis and wound healing, though further research is necessary to assess its general efficacy.

This case report details a rare instance of primary adrenal insufficiency as a manifestation of antiphospholipid syndrome, with the patient successfully managed through glucocorticoids, warfarin, and hydroxychloroquine.

This study observed that combining PRP with pro-angiogenic cells (Angio PRP) enhanced wound healing in a mouse model by promoting keratinocyte proliferation, angiogenesis, and vessel remodeling.

In this case report, a 29-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus and an increased risk of thrombosis experienced improved right heart function following diuretics, anticoagulants, corticosteroids, and immunosuppressants treatment.

This study found that co-drugs synthesized from hydroquinone and tranexamic acid improved skin targeting and deposition, with reduced irritation and enhanced efficacy for treating hyperpigmentation.

In this study, researchers observed that hidradenitis suppurativa lesions were associated with reduced collagen and elastin, and increased neovascularization in areas with chronic inflammation.

This study found that in patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation, older age significantly increases the risk of hemorrhagic cystitis, especially in males, who are also affected by prostatic hyperplasia.

In this case report, a 36-year-old patient undergoing secukinumab treatment for psoriasis experienced both hepatitis B reactivation and hair discoloration, suggesting a potential link between these effects, though further studies are needed to understand this relationship.

This review highlights the potential analytic interference of high-dose biotin with immunochemical tests, which may lead to diagnostic errors and suggests pausing biotin consumption before laboratory testing.

In this study, conducted at a tertiary care hospital in Chennai, adverse events during blood donation were observed in 0.42% of donors, predominantly affecting first-time male donors, and were mostly vasovagal reactions such as giddiness and sweating.

This study found that certain plasma protein ratios, specifically AGRN/HSPG2 and DECR1/FKBP1B, were significantly associated with an increased risk of alopecia areata, indicating potential causal relationships but reverse causality was not supported.

This study introduces novel wound dressings with hydrophobic properties, highlighting their ability to enhance hemostasis, improve wound adhesion, reduce bacterial adherence, and facilitate exudate removal, and discusses advancements in the development and application of such composite dressings for antibacterial hemostatic purposes.

This article suggests that alopecia areata may be an early skin manifestation of hereditary hemochromatosis in individuals predisposed to autoimmunity, recommending iron status evaluation during AA diagnosis; it reports no new clinical results.

In this letter, thrombocytosis was associated with the use of low-molecular-weight heparin in a patient with adrenal cortical carcinoma, highlighting a potential side effect of this treatment.

This study identified that biotin ingestion led to interference in immunoassay results, falsely indicating high testosterone and insulin levels in a 28-year-old female patient, thus complicating her clinical assessment and treatment planning until recognized and resolved.

This case report suggests that hair loss may be a potential adverse effect of rivaroxaban, though it is not listed in the product characteristics.

This study found that hidradenitis suppurativa is associated with increased serum levels of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α, suggesting its role in the disease's pathogenesis and as a treatment target.

This study found that energy emitted by a hydrocolloid-based wound dressing fragment can penetrate glass and delay the evaporation of a Potassium Ferricyanide solution around a human hair follicle in vitro.

The study concluded that the Exprecell™ device for preparing anticoagulant-free f-PRF increases volume yield and simplifies the process while maintaining biological activity comparable to conventional methods, suggesting potential clinical utility.

Accidental injection of hyaluronic acid caused temporary hair loss and skin damage, but treatment restored hair and healed the skin.
