This study observed that patients with alopecia areata had significantly higher serum levels of IL-15 and TNF-α compared to controls, with TNF-α levels particularly elevated in individuals with alopecia totalis, though these biomarkers were not influenced by disease duration or activity.

This study found that topical ginsenoside Rg1 may protect skin from UVB-induced damage in mice by reducing pathological changes and modulating cytokine mRNA expression associated with inflammation and immune response.

This study found that lichen planopilaris is a common cause of scalp scarring alopecia in adults and has distinctive clinical features that help differentiate it from other similar conditions.

This case study highlights congenital atrichia with papular lesions as a cause of total body hair loss, characterized by the absence of hair follicles and the presence of skin-colored papules.

This study described the clinical and genetic features of two Iranian siblings with hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets, identifying a specific VDR gene mutation contributing to their symptoms.

This study found that infertile female patients with comorbid PCOS experience increased sexual distress linked to impaired sexual function and heightened sexual pain, indicating a need for further research into related physiological and psychological aspects.

This study found that orlistat significantly reduced weight and total testosterone levels in Iranian women with polycystic ovary syndrome after 12 weeks of treatment.

This study found that certain Y-chromosome alleles may influence susceptibility to prostate cancer among Iraqi males, suggesting potential genetic screening markers for the disease.

This descriptive study reported that cutaneous issues, particularly anesthesia and neuropathy dermatitis, were common at saphenous vein harvesting sites in Iraqi patients who underwent coronary artery bypass surgery.

In this study, an injectable alginate hydrogel with Fibronectin3 was developed, demonstrating high biocompatibility and ability to enhance wound healing in mice, suggesting promise for clinical application in treating irregular wounds.

This study suggests that the Grasp protein may play a role in regulating skin homeostasis following UVB exposure by influencing p53-mediated apoptotic responses in mice.

This study presented a new method for accurately measuring Fe³⁺ in small serum samples, achieving high recovery rates and agreement with established testing methods, while offering advantages such as cost-effectiveness, simplicity, and enhanced sensitivity.

This study found that women with PCOS had significantly higher levels of the pro-inflammatory chemokine MIP-1α compared to controls, suggesting an association with low-grade chronic inflammation, though the increase in MIP-1β levels did not reach statistical significance.

This study found that local injections of fetal tissue mesenchymal stromal cells in mice significantly improved healing and hair follicle density after high-dose radiation-induced skin damage.

In this study conducted in Ilam province, Iran, researchers found that 19.35% of red foxes and 17.85% of jackals were infested with at least one type of ectoparasite, primarily Ctenocephalides canis.

This study found that among medical science students, while academic enthusiasm and loneliness are average, their fear of intimacy is below average; it also observed that increased loneliness predicts decreased academic enthusiasm, suggesting a need for workshops to address this issue.

In this study, impaired sexual function among Iranian women with infertility was linked to higher sexual distress, especially when comorbid PCOS was present, affecting the relationship between sexual pain and distress.

This study found that gQlab probiotics improved overall IBS symptoms, particularly in female and constipation-predominant patients, compared to placebo after 4 weeks of treatment.

This study investigated the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori in patients with gastritis in Southern Iraq, but the abstract does not report any specific results.

This study found that individuals with both schizophrenia and obesity showed reduced PER3 gene expression amplitude and lower melatonin levels compared to normal-weight controls, suggesting dampened circadian rhythms linked to irregular sleep. Hair follicle sampling was effective for assessing these molecular rhythms.

This study in Urmia, Iran, characterized women with PCOS, POF, and EMs, revealing a PCOS prevalence of 17.69% and emphasizing significant lifestyle and health differences compared to healthy individuals, particularly in rural areas, alongside identifying key screening features for POF and EMs.

This study found that in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, taking metformin for three months significantly reduced serum levels of luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and testosterone, suggesting a beneficial effect on managing hyperandrogenism.

This review evaluates 21 studies on minoxidil-induced allergic contact dermatitis, finding that some patients with contact dermatitis symptoms like erythema and pruritus are sensitized to minoxidil or its vehicle components and should consider patch testing and alternative formulations for proper management.

This study found that total testosterone, DHEA-S, and free androgen index may help distinguish menstrual irregularities from increased risk of polycystic ovary syndrome in adolescents.

This study found that in Kirkuk City, prescription and over-the-counter omega-3 supplements were widely used, often without clear distinction by healthcare providers and consumers regarding their appropriate use.
