This cross-meta-analysis examined policosanol biorefining methods in 18 Ibero-American countries, reporting that Cuba, Spain, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, and Portugal show significant advances, but highlighted the need for better coordination between academia and industry for improved yield efficiency.

This study found that patients with alopecia areata showing low treatment burden responded better to baricitinib compared to those with higher previous systemic treatment exposure.

In this study, researchers identified a specific DNA aptamer, Ap.OR2AT4.17, that effectively prolonged hair growth and increased hair shaft elongation in organ-cultured human hair follicles by targeting the olfactory receptor OR2AT4. This finding suggests the aptamer's potential as a novel therapy for hair loss disorders.

In this study, 86% of pregnant women with SARS-CoV-2 received timely thromboprophylaxis based on their sepsis-induced coagulopathy scores, with most scoring between one and two.

In this study, researchers found that patients with alopecia areata displayed higher systemic inflammatory markers and lower vitamin D levels compared to healthy controls, yet they exhibited similar cardiovascular risk profiles, with no association between inflammation and cardiovascular risk or alopecia severity.

This qualitative review reports a high socioeconomic impact of atopic dermatitis and alopecia areata, emphasizing significant quality of life reductions and increased costs, but highlights a lack of comprehensive data from many regions worldwide, underscoring the need for global studies with standardized methodologies.

This in-silico study found that Finasteride interferes with neurotransmitters and may increase psychopathology when it decomposes into a carboxylic acid similar to Cortisol.

Standardized treatment protocols are needed for children with androgenetic alopecia.

This observational study identified L. infantum infection in meerkats housed in two zoological parks in Madrid, marking the first such report for this species, though the disease persisted in one individual despite treatment.

This review concludes that platelet-rich plasma is a promising treatment for androgenetic alopecia, enhancing hair density and thickness, though outcomes vary due to differences in preparation and application methods.

This study found that baricitinib significantly reduced alopecia severity in JAK inhibitor-naïve patients compared to those previously treated with tofacitinib, indicating that switching JAK inhibitors can be safe and may be beneficial for selected patients with partial prior responses.

This study found that approximately 26% of women with Type 1 diabetes have undiagnosed androgen disorders, with polycystic ovary syndrome being the most common, particularly in those with premenarcheal onset of diabetes.

In this case study, a 7-year-old girl was diagnosed with Isolated Premature Pubarche after presenting with pubic hair growth and normal hormonal and bone age assessments.

Aptamers can improve wound healing and promote hair growth.

This study highlights a close link between metabolic syndrome, characterized by conditions like obesity and hypertension, and various inflammatory skin diseases, suggesting that mitochondrial dysfunction plays a key role in their pathogenesis and could be a target for new therapies.

This study found that both fractional and excimer lasers are effective in increasing hair density and promoting regrowth in various types of alopecia, although further trials are needed to compare their efficacy to more traditional treatments.

In this case report, a 75-year-old woman with a giant pilomatrixoma was found to have anemia and delirium, and her speech issues were later associated with schizophrenia.

This study aims to assess how daily life factors affect sleep patterns and describe individual sleep changes across the year, with results to be published in future research.

This case report highlights the successful treatment of alopecia areata universalis with Baricitinib, suggesting potential long-term effectiveness of janus kinase inhibitors for this autoimmune hair loss condition.

In this case report, the authors describe a female dog with alopecia in the neck and ear region, affected by dermatophytosis caused by the zoophilic fungus Microsporum canis, highlighting its zoonotic potential and prevalence in certain climates.

In this pilot study, a 12-week topical treatment with a lotion containing magnetized saline water significantly increased hair count and hair mass index while activating autophagy in the scalp of 20 Caucasian men with mild-to-moderate androgenetic alopecia.

This review highlights the ongoing need for novel treatments for autosomal recessive congenital ichthyoses, suggesting that drug repositioning, utilizing existing medications or biologics, could provide more affordable and effective options for managing this lifelong skin condition.

This study found mixed evidence linking traction hairstyles, previous pregnancies, chemical hair relaxers, and several comorbidities to an increased risk of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in Black women.

This study found that children in Alcalá may have lower exposure to calcium and strontium compared to peers in other regions, based on scalp-hair analysis.

This study developed finite element models to examine skin's biomechanical properties, finding that structural heterogeneities like Rete ridges and hair follicles create distinct stress and strain patterns that may influence mechanosensation and skin integrity.

More research is needed on CCCA in children, especially Black and Asian adolescents.

This study reviewed cases of congenital alopecia areata, highlighting a predominance in females and possible genetic factors, and found that topical corticosteroids were effective for hair regrowth in most treated patients, suggesting they are a suitable first-line treatment.

This study suggests that congenital alopecia areata should be considered for newborns with alopecia, supporting the use of topical corticosteroids as a reasonable initial treatment option based on observed regrowth.

This study found that histopathologic features such as a catagen/telogen shift, melanin in fibrous tracts, and small dystrophic follicles can help differentiate alopecia areata from pattern hair loss in the absence of peribulbar infiltrates.

This review discusses mucocutaneous manifestations associated with Covid-19, classifies the lesions, and describes their characteristics and treatments but reports no new clinical findings.
