This study found that serum irisin levels were significantly lower in patients with androgenetic alopecia compared to healthy controls, but no significant relationship was detected between serum irisin levels and insulin resistance markers like BMI, fasting insulin, or HOMA-IR.

This study found that serum irisin levels were significantly lower in patients with acne vulgaris compared to healthy controls and were negatively correlated with insulin resistance and disease severity.

This study found that high-dose intravenous iron therapy was effective and safe for patients with inflammatory bowel disease-associated anemia, improving hemoglobin and iron levels, reducing inflammation markers, and alleviating disease activity and symptoms, even in those with active inflammation.

This case report describes how a misleading presentation of a rash initially resembling vasculitis was ultimately diagnosed as scurvy through histological examination, revealing the importance of dietary history and histopathology in differential diagnosis.

This case study reports the first instance of irreversible alopecia universalis occurring during pegylated interferon-ribavirin therapy in a man with hepatitis C infection, without evidence of immunological or thyroid disorders.

This study observed that patients undergoing indinavir/ritonavir therapy for HIV-1 frequently experienced reversible alopecia, likely due to retinoid-like effects, but these were independent of other retinoid-like skin manifestations.

This study found that hemoglobin α is upregulated in epidermal keratinocytes after UV exposure and may function as an antioxidant, particularly for hair follicle stem cells.

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 astilbin downregulates effector CD4+ T cell activities through the CYP1B1/ROS/PPARγ pathway, suggesting its potential use in treating inflammation.

This study observed that intravenous ferric carboxymaltose did not inhibit the drug-induced reduction of inflammatory activity in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, as indicated by lower CRP levels.

This study found that multiple treatments combining NIR laser phototherapy with ICG significantly reduced inflammation and improved skin condition in acne without side effects.

This review highlights that iron deficiency is a significant yet often overlooked contributor to the development of immune-mediated inflammatory skin diseases, suggesting that iron dysregulation may drive inflammation and metabolic imbalances in conditions like psoriasis and atopic dermatitis.

This study reported that peginterferon alpha-2a showed high early and sustained virologic response rates in Albanian hemodialyzed patients with hepatitis C, despite causing several adverse effects.

This case report documents a 59-year-old woman who developed atypical drug-induced lupus after receiving infliximab for Crohn's disease, with symptoms persisting even after discontinuation.

This study found that commercially available dyes penetrate up to 1.2 mm into human skin, with Indocyanine Green binding to cell proteins and showing a shift in absorption peak.

This review discusses various presentations of drug-induced cutaneous eruptions, particularly those associated with interferon and ribavirin, and reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that recombinant IFN α-2b injections in patients with acute post-transfusion hepatitis C can suppress viral RNA and lead to normalization of serum ALT, though long-term prevention of chronicity remains unclear.

This case report describes a rare instance of alopecia universalis occurring eight weeks after discontinuing pegylated interferon α and ribavirin therapy, highlighting the need for awareness among healthcare providers.

This study observed that consuming grouper fish liver caused symptoms similar to acute vitamin A intoxication, indicating its high vitamin A content as the likely cause.

This case report highlights how a thorough history and examination led to the diagnosis of hereditary hemochromatosis in a patient initially suspected to have diverticulosis, improving symptoms with phlebotomy treatment.

In this study, researchers assessed the effects of deferasirox in 85 children with ß-thalassemia in Kirkuk and reported that while 55.3% experienced a reduction in serum ferritin, 9.4% had adverse effects, indicating that deferasirox is generally well-tolerated as an iron chelator with modifiable side effects.

This article discusses the importance of integrating clinical observations with laboratory research, emphasizing the need for clinicians to collaborate with researchers to address medical problems.

This study found that chronic use of Russelia equisetiformis extracts in rats may impair liver function, with a more pronounced effect observed from the methanol extract.

This study suggests that women with idiopathic hirsutism have increased 5α-reductase activity, indicated by elevated levels of 3α-diol glucuronide; further research is needed to assess its clinical biomarker potential.

This study demonstrated that prolonged use of commercial hair dyes caused significant increases in liver enzymes and bilirubin levels, and evident cellular injury in the skin and liver tissues of Albino rats, indicating potential toxicity.

This case study highlights that vitamin B12 deficiency can cause reversible hyperpigmentation, illustrated by a vegetarian female patient whose skin lesions improved after treatment.
