This review highlighted the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in gouty arthritis, emphasizing their potential influence on disease progression through immune and inflammatory regulation, and their prospective use in diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy.

This study found that asthma and high testosterone levels were linked to more severe COVID-19 and higher mortality, while progesterone appeared to offer protective effects in pre-menopausal women.

This article discusses the genetic hair disorder monilethrix, characterized by beaded, fragile hair due to defective keratin genes, and reports no effective treatment currently available; variability in severity was noted among affected siblings.

In a retrospective study, TNFα inhibitor-induced alopecia was observed in pediatric patients, primarily adolescents with inflammatory bowel diseases, with hair regrowth occurring in those who discontinued the therapy; this suggests that stopping these medications can improve drug-induced alopecia in children.

Premature graying of hair is mainly caused by genetics, stress, and environment, with potential treatments being explored.

This review identified and evaluated polycystic ovary syndrome models of care, finding that only three fully aligned with international guidelines and generally received positive feedback on satisfaction; just one showed an impact on patients' BMI.

This study aimed to explore the demographic factors linked to stress-induced hair loss among medical students, although it reports no new results on this relationship.

This case report describes trichothiodystrophy in two sisters with only hair fragility, illustrating the condition's variable presentation and the importance of regular monitoring for potential associated impairments.

This case study describes an 85-year-old man's intermittent fever being ultimately diagnosed as Babesia infection after considering his travel history and diagnosing splenic infarcts, highlighting the importance of thorough patient history for accurate diagnosis.

In this study, androgenetic alopecia was linked to a higher likelihood of hyperlipidemia in both men and women and obesity in women, highlighting it as a potential marker for cardiometabolic risk.

In this study, testosterone-induced alopecia in male rats led to significant thinning and follicular degeneration, but treatment with adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction cells markedly improved these histological changes, suggesting a potential role in hair follicle regeneration.

In this case report, the researchers described a postmenopausal woman with androgenic symptoms who was found to have a benign Leydig cell tumor of the left ovary, indicated by elevated testosterone levels and MRI findings, which was successfully treated with surgery.

This study found that specific SNPs in the CYP19A1 gene were associated with Female Pattern Hair Loss in Egyptian women, with altered CYP19A1 gene expression and higher frequencies of related genotypes observed in patients compared to controls.

In this study, researchers reported that dermatoscopy effectively differentiates between various types of alopecia and scalp disorders, offering a fast, minimally invasive diagnostic method that improves the standard of care and reduces the necessity for scalp biopsies.

This study found that 89.3% of female college students in Aden, Yemen, had hypovitaminosis D, with sunscreen use and lack of vitamin D supplements significantly associated with this condition.

This study found that non-alcoholic fatty liver disease was prevalent among women with polycystic ovarian syndrome and was linked to higher BMI, waist/hip ratio, testosterone levels, and deranged lipid profile.

In this case report, a two-year-old girl with acrodermatitis enteropathica was misdiagnosed for over a year before low serum zinc levels led to the correct diagnosis, and her skin lesions resolved completely after two weeks of zinc sulfate treatment.

This study found that 83% of community participants use cosmetic nutritional supplements, with awareness of their appropriate use suggested to be increasing, as 73% took them after lab tests and 58% followed medical prescriptions.

This article reviews existing research on the treatment of alopecia areata using growth factors and microneedling, reporting that these methods show promise in promoting hair growth without major adverse effects, but emphasizes the need for additional large-scale studies to confirm their efficacy and safety.

This study focused on understanding the psychosocial impact of androgenetic alopecia in Saudi Arabia to potentially improve treatment strategies for hair loss by incorporating stress-coping methods and new therapeutic approaches.

This study in Saudi Arabia found that 59.70% of participants experienced hair shedding during or after COVID-19, with significant risk factors including being female, having a history of telogen effluvium, and receiving COVID-19 antiviral treatment.

This article reports a rare case of a postmenopausal woman with coexisting lichen planus pigmentosus and classic lichen planopilaris, alongside a review of related literature.

In this study, Typhonium flagelliforme leaf-ethanolic extract combined with natural interferon was observed to stabilize body weight, inhibit tumor growth, and reduce mitosis, angiogenesis, and certain protein expressions in carcinogen-induced tumors in female mice, suggesting potential antitumor effects.

This report details a case of severe alopecia areata developing one month after COVID-19 infection in a 20-year-old woman, suggesting a possible connection between COVID-19 and the condition's onset.

This article describes the causes of hirsutism, introduces a novel assessment tool, and suggests strategies for investigation and management, but provides no new experimental results.

This study found that polycystic ovary syndrome and idiopathic hirsutism are the main causes of hirsutism in the women studied at a gynecology clinic, accounting for about 94% of cases.

This research outlines the significant morbidity and economic impact of dermatophytosis, a contagious fungal disease affecting skin, hair, and nails, with heightened severity in immune-compromised individuals and poor environmental conditions.
