Use the least toxic, most specific treatments for skin diseases, considering side effects and individual patient needs.

Mutations in the P2RY5 gene cause hereditary woolly hair.

This compilation on contact and occupational dermatology in the Asia-Pacific region discusses various allergens and irritants without reporting new clinical findings.

The conference concluded that understanding hair and nail disorders is important, iron deficiency may be linked to hair loss, and while some treatments for skin conditions are effective, they may have risks and high costs.

This report describes a case of dermatitis herpetiformis where symptoms resolved with continuous sulfapyridine therapy after persisting despite other treatments.

This study found that finasteride and melengestrol acetate exhibit varying levels of toxicity to freshwater mussels, amphipods, and mayflies, but current environmental concentrations suggest minimal direct effects on these aquatic invertebrates.

This study examined extracts from the heartwood of Kouyousan trees for anti-termite activity against Japanese termites. The researchers reported that cedrol showed strong anti-termite effects, with feeding deterrent activity at low concentrations and lethal effects at high concentrations, while isoabienol mainly contributed to feeding deterrence.

In this study, a single application of a 10 mg/mL deltamethrin-based solution effectively reduced lice infestations by 98% to 100% in treated horses and prevented new infestations for up to a month, without adverse events reported.

This study found that treating cats infested with Lynxacarus radovskyi using Fipronil resulted in complete resolution of the infestation by day 15.

In a study conducted on a beef-producing farm, "Deltsid 7.5" was found to be the most effective treatment for psoroptic scab in cattle, eradicating acarian phases and restoring skin and hair by 28 days, outperforming macrocyclic lactone treatments.

This study identified that the pruning woods from Juniperus phoenicea and Juniperus thurifera could serve as renewable sources of bioactive natural products, with compounds like cedrol showing potent antitick and antifungal activities.

In this study, researchers developed microcapsules and effervescent tablets containing policosanol from insect wax, achieving high encapsulation efficiency and rapid water dispersion, effectively addressing the challenges of solubility and psychological acceptance in consuming insect-based lipids.

This study found that olorofim demonstrated potent in vitro and in vivo antifungal activity against dermatophytes, resolving skin lesions in a guinea pig model similar to clotrimazole, suggesting it may be a promising treatment for dermatophytosis.

This study found that finasteride, which alters plant brassinosteroid metabolism, significantly reduced sporulation of the downy mildew pathogen in grapevines, unlike azole fungicide treatments.

This study found that azelaic acid at all tested concentrations showed anti-Demodex efficacy similar to 5% permethrin, with no statistically significant differences between the treatments.

This abstract provides definitions and descriptions of terms related to insects, arachnids, and other invertebrates, but includes no new research findings.

This study used molecular docking simulations to identify Adapalene, Diosmin, and Azelastine as promising drugs for repurposing against onchocerciasis by targeting proteins in the parasite and its endosymbiont; further research is needed to confirm their efficacy.

This study found that both oral afoxolaner (NexGard®) and topical Frontline Combo® achieved 100% efficacy in eradicating Heterodoxus spiniger infestations within 30 days in dogs, with significant reductions in associated symptoms like hair loss and pruritus.

In this study, Persian cats treated with weekly Fipronil spray showed no detectable ear mites after four weeks, suggesting the spray's effectiveness against ear mites.

Selective chemical epilation effectively treats tinea capitis without harmful side effects.

This study determined that a 6.25% concentration of propolis effectively inhibits the growth of dandruff-causing bacteria, with effectiveness values of 223.52% and 99.59% compared to ketoconazole and another propolis extract, respectively.

This study found that the combination of L. sericata secretions and A. sintenisii extract significantly enhanced wound healing compared to each agent alone or Furacin®, suggesting a synergistic effect.

This study found that insect wax can significantly promote hair growth in mice in a way that is comparable to minoxidil, likely due to the upregulation of VEGF expression.

In a guinea pig model of dermatophytosis, this study found that subcutaneous CD101, dosed once weekly, demonstrated significant clinical and mycological efficacy compared to the vehicle control and the oral antifungal terbinafine, suggesting potential for CD101 in treating fungal skin infections.

This literature review found that systemic antifungals, including griseofulvin, terbinafine, and azole derivatives, are effective against dermatophytosis, though their effectiveness varies with the type of infection and treatment duration.

This review discusses the biologically active compounds in Maxillariinae orchids, highlighting 62 semiochemicals with medical potential, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study investigated the modes of action of selected pesticides, suggesting that prochloraz and tebuconazole are linked to reproductive disorders via steroidogenesis disruption, while mancozeb involves inflammatory processes.

This study found that terbinafine HCl nail solutions with or without DDAIP HCl significantly outperformed ciclopirox nail lacquer in treating guinea pig dermatophytosis, suggesting potential effectiveness for human nail infections.
