This study explores the neurobiology and genetics of barbering (hair and whisker biting) in laboratory rodents, and its potential links to stress, aggression, grooming, and stereotypic behaviors, highlighting its significance in experimental work with these animals.

In this network meta-analysis, the researchers reported that topical minoxidil 5% was the most effective off-label therapy for increasing hair density in men with androgenetic alopecia, while other treatments like melatonin and cetirizine showed potential benefits, highlighting a need for further comparative trials.

This study found that Asthimajjapachak Churna provided significantly more therapeutic relief from hair fall than Shwadamshtradi Rasayana Churna in young females over 30 days.

The study found that Asthimajjapachak Churna led to greater improvement in managing hair fall among young females compared to Shwadamshtradi Rasayana Churna, particularly through alleviation of Asthigata dosha.

This study investigated a Labrador Retriever with paw pad hyperkeratosis and identified a unique de novo heterozygous missense variant in the GJB6 gene, suggesting its potential role in the condition, analogous to Clouston syndrome in humans, although differences between species may provide further insights.

In this clinical study, Prachhanna followed by Guñjā lepa was found to be more effective than PRP therapy with Minoxidil 5% in improving hair regrowth and reducing symptoms in patients with Indralupta (Alopecia Areata), achieving 91.14% overall improvement compared to 74.74% for the alternative treatment.

This study observed that Prachhanna followed by Guñjā lepa was more effective than Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy with Minoxidil 5% in promoting hair regrowth and reducing symptoms of Indralupta, showing greater reductions in hair loss and itching over a 45-day period.

This study evaluated the molecular mechanisms, clinical efficacy, and safety of off-label therapies for male androgenetic alopecia and determined the relative efficacy of these therapies compared to topical minoxidil through a network meta-analysis.

This study concluded that mineral deficiencies in sheep and goats grazing in Sana’a Governorate, Yemen, were linked to poor health and performance, recommending mineral supplementation to improve their condition.

This review reports on the potential for deucravacitinib, an oral TYK2 inhibitor approved for psoriasis, to treat various immune-mediated diseases, with emerging research suggesting possible uses in neurodegenerative diseases and certain cancers.

This study reviewed various studies and concluded that Janus kinase inhibitors, particularly tofacitinib, seem to promote hair regrowth in about half of patients with alopecia areata, though expected class-specific adverse effects were observed.

This study reported that 5% topical minoxidil lotion may be beneficial for enhancing hair regrowth in patients with telogen effluvium, although its effectiveness is limited by the self-healing nature of the condition and the small sample size.

This study found that laboratory testing practices for alopecia areata vary among international hair experts, with the majority routinely conducting thyroid function and complete blood count tests, yet exhibiting diverse approaches toward testing for other conditions or before prescribing systemic therapy.

In an open-label clinical trial, this study found that applying Narasimham Hair Oil thrice weekly for 8 weeks significantly improved hair density, thickness, and scalp health among participants with hair thinning, with benefits persisting after treatment, and 95% reporting user satisfaction without adverse effects.

In this study, SLE was found to be more prevalent among Iraqi women, with photosensitivity, hair loss, and malar rash as common symptoms, contributing to the understanding of SLE patterns globally.

This study presented a case of a Labrador Retriever with recurrent skin lesions and confirmed vitamin A-responsive dermatosis after successful treatment with vitamin A therapy, highlighting the importance of considering vitamin A deficiency in primary keratinization disorders.

This study reports that vitiligo prevalence in a Saudi cohort is similar to global figures, with stress as a common trigger, frequent lesional pruritus, and widespread thyroid issues and low vitamin D levels.

In this case report, a 7-year-old Labrador with chronic alopecia, weight gain, and dermatitis, was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and treated with levothyroxine and other medications. Improvement, characterized by reduced skin lesions, was observed after two months.

This study observed that among 81 children with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, girls were more affected than boys, with symptoms like neck swelling, fatigue, and hair loss frequently occurring, and most cases requiring treatment with levothyroxine.

This case report describes a three-month-old male Labrador pup with dermatophytosis, diagnosed through clinical signs and a Woods lamp test, which successfully recovered from the infection with a four-week treatment regimen involving topical and oral therapies.

This study evaluated microneedling's effect on hair loss, finding a minor reduction in SALT scores for androgenetic alopecia patients, but no significant change for fibrosing or alopecia areata groups. Further skin biopsy analyses are pending to explore other changes beyond SALT scores.

This study found that women with post-COVID alopecia showed a diffuse telogen effluvium pattern and distinct trace element imbalances, such as reduced copper and increased selenium levels, helping differentiate this condition from androgenetic alopecia.

Targeted testing for telogen effluvium patients can save healthcare costs.

This study found that combining platelet-rich plasma with 4% hydroquinone was more effective in reducing melasma symptoms than using hydroquinone alone.

This study found that engaging in outdoor physical activities significantly reduced the odds of increased HbA1C levels, lower HDL-cholesterol, and obesity among patients with metabolic syndrome, suggesting potential health benefits for this population.

Pharmacists play a crucial role in patient care and optimizing treatment outcomes.

This study found that clinical and biochemical markers of hyperandrogenism were more common in post-adolescent and early adult-onset acne among women than in adolescent acne.

In this open-label study, participants reported that the LustrivaTM BH-002 two-step system improved various aspects of hair, skin, and nail health and appearance after three months of use.

This study introduced rPanglaoDB, an R package that facilitates the integration of public scRNA-seq datasets to effectively characterize rare cell types, exemplified by generating the first unbiased transcriptome profile of fibrocytes.
