This study outlined modern approaches for using cosmeceuticals in trichology, emphasizing evidence-based medicine, personalized care, and patient safety. It proposed the H.A.I.R. model as a universal algorithm for trichological programs and suggested new educational and practical tools for specialists in trichology and aesthetic medicine.

In this study, researchers found that the health state utility of moderate facial angiofibroma in Tuberous Sclerosis Complex patients is significantly lower compared to almost-clear facial angiofibroma, indicating that treatment for the condition can substantially improve quality of life.

Some medications and supplements can cause serious side effects, including hair loss, heart rhythm problems, liver injury, and other health issues.

In this study, researchers used trichoscopy to establish standardized findings for normal hair and scalp characteristics in 360 healthy males, noting significant age-related differences in hair diameter variability and identifying potential pathological indicators like colored dots and scarring not present in healthy individuals.

This review presents evidence that correlations exist between hair mineral imbalances and various diseases, though inconsistencies in results highlight the need for standardized preparation methods.

In this study, the authors observed that testosterone therapy shortened the QTc interval and normalized T-wave morphology in men with acquired LQTS or TdP linked to hypogonadism, suggesting testosterone may be helpful in treatment.

This meta-analysis reported that individuals who frequently use hair dye or have used it for over 20 years have an increased risk of developing non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

In this review, researchers summarize key factors in constructing skin organoids, including cell source and assembly methods, and emphasize advances such as air-liquid interface culture for improving tissue development, aiming to guide standardized protocols and future clinical applications.

In this prospective cohort, baseline severity, disease activity, and relapse history were identified as key factors influencing response and recurrence in alopecia areata, suggesting that implementing standardized assessments could enhance risk stratification and personalized care approaches.

This article discusses the updated European Training Requirements for the specialty of Dermatology and Venereology, emphasizing the harmonization of curriculum to improve specialist training across Europe, and reports no new clinical results.

This study investigated various proteins as eco-friendly hair perming agents for Asian hair and found that bovine serum albumin and keratin achieved perming results comparable to commercial products, while also increasing hair moisture, indicating a protective effect during heat styling.

In this study, a bleaching protocol was developed to evaluate hair repair products, revealing that K18® and Olaplex® improve hair brightness and lightness, with distinct impacts on hair fiber properties.

In this study, researchers reported that standardized rosemary and capsicum extracts significantly improved hair growth parameters such as follicle density, length, and diameter in rats with testosterone-induced alopecia, suggesting these extracts may aid in more effective natural treatments for androgenetic alopecia.

This study found that adding topical eflornithine to hair laser treatment significantly reduced hair counts and inflammatory papules more effectively than laser therapy alone in treating pseudofolliculitis barbae.

This study reports that drug repurposing for COVID-19 has had mixed results, with success for some drugs but a lack of clinical efficacy for others, highlighting the need for improved preclinical profiling and a standardized drug development platform for future antiviral treatments.

Combining scalp photos with hair density and caliber measurements gives a more accurate assessment of hair loss.

A thorough initial check-up is essential before sperm banking to ensure the best chance of preserving good quality sperm.

In this retrospective study at Lausanne University Hospital, 61% of 48 patients with tendinopathies reported favorable outcomes after a single standardized autologous PRP injection, while 36% needed two, and effectiveness was unrelated to platelet concentration, activity level, age, or gender.

This abstract lists authors and their affiliations but does not provide any research findings or insights.

This clinical study observed that in patients with advanced breast cancer and BRCA1/2 mutations, talazoparib provided significantly better progression-free survival, objective response, clinical benefit, and patient-reported outcomes compared to physician’s choice chemotherapy, despite common side effects like anemia and fatigue.

This study found that in patients with alopecia areata, trichoscopy was a valuable tool for monitoring disease activity, severity, and therapeutic response, showing changes in trichoscopic markers that preceded improvements observed in the hair pull test.

In this study, oral steroid pulse therapy was found to be as effective and well-tolerated as intravenous pulse therapy in treating severe alopecia areata, especially when started within one year of disease onset.

In this retrospective case series, therapeutic responses to immunomodulatory and incretin-based therapies for Dercum's disease showed considerable individual variation, suggesting these treatments might be exploratory options when surgery isn't feasible, though further controlled studies are needed for definitive conclusions.

In this study, baseline neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) was associated with predicting early trichoscopic response in patients undergoing PRP-based treatment for non-scarring alopecia.

This review categorizes 59 modifications of the Dermatology Life Quality Index across multiple studies, highlighting the need for further validation of these customized health-related quality of life tools in dermatology.

This research observed that translation initiation shifts from cap-dependent to IRES-mediated pathways varied across tissues and cell types under stress and differentiation conditions in mice, with low IRES/Cap ratios signaling high stemness and potential multipotency, mediated by the RNA processing protein PTBP1.

This study found that expression and variants of the KRT84 gene are associated with important wool traits in Gansu Alpine Fine-wool sheep, suggesting its potential use as a genetic marker for wool trait selection.

This study found that dihydrotestosterone treatment may be more beneficial for height in children with 5-α-reductase type 2 deficiency compared to testosterone enanthate, especially in the prepubertal period.

This study found that FDA-approved low-level light/laser therapy devices significantly increased hair density in individuals with pattern hair loss compared to sham devices.

This review evaluates the use of 5α-reductase inhibitors in feminising hormone therapy, finding their additive feminising benefits unclear due to their specific action on testosterone conversion, with concerns highlighted regarding limited supporting evidence and safety signals, particularly for psychiatric and sexual effects.
