This review discusses the complex dermatological effects of oral contraceptives, including both hormonal benefits and potential toxicities, but reports no new clinical results.

This review summarizes recent findings on the combined use of chitosan and melatonin, highlighting their synergistic effects in wound healing, anti-cancer therapies, and tissue engineering, with further potential applications in cosmetology, aesthetic medicine, and veterinary practice.

This review highlights how wound microbiota, particularly bacteria like Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus aureus, significantly influences wound healing dynamics and suggests potential clinical applications through microbiota manipulation.

In this study, researchers highlighted that while hair lipids are crucial for hair health and protection, surfactants in shampoos and conditioners can partially remove these lipids, potentially affecting hair structure, though the exact mechanisms remain poorly understood and require further investigation.

A woman's use of minoxidil for hair loss caused fluid buildup in her chest, which went away when she stopped using the product.

This study found that patients with thyroid dysfunction were more likely to experience skin disorders such as chronic idiopathic urticaria, vitiligo, and alopecia areata compared to a control group.

This study found that patients with hypothyroidism at a tertiary hospital in South India most commonly exhibited skin dryness (xerosis/ichthyosis) and swelling of the feet (pedal oedema).

In this study, Neogynon was found to be 100% effective as a contraceptive, with no observed failures in 3129 cycles among 184 women, while side effects included changes in endometrial patterns and some central nervous system effects.

This study assessed the potential for Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion power in Fiji, finding higher power output and efficiency during summer due to greater temperature differences between surface and deep sea waters.

This study reported that among patients aged 19 to 60 who experienced hair loss after COVID-19, a treatment involving a complex drug and peptide lotion led to hair improvement in 92% of cases, with good tolerability and no reported side effects.

This case report observed that nutritional adjustments improved alopecia caused by finely ground feed in a flock of sheep.

This review highlights a case of cross sensitization to dyes from temporary henna tattoos and stresses the need for public awareness on the risks associated with these tattoos.

This study found that Slovak breast cancer survivors experience moderate overall quality of life, with variations across domains linked to treatment types and sociodemographic factors, pointing to the need for tailored supportive care.

In this study, a validated chromatographic method demonstrated the ability to simultaneously analyze gemcitabine and olaparib in pancreatic cancer tissues, supporting the advancement of pharmaceutical formulations combining these drugs, particularly for patients with BRCA mutations.

This study found that treating moderate-to-severe prurigo nodularis with dupilumab significantly improved itch severity, skin condition, and quality of life over 104 weeks, with a favorable safety profile, even in elderly and comorbid patients.

This review discusses the use of Janus kinase inhibitors for severe alopecia areata in Japan, noting their effectiveness in some patients but highlighting the need for new therapies due to non-responsiveness and relapse in others; it reports no new clinical results.

This study identified distinct plasma miRNA profiles in alopecia areata that may aid in diagnosis and therapy, but further validation is needed to confirm these exploratory findings.

This study investigated the mechanical response of the human hair cuticle to strain and found that cuticular deformation directly corresponded with fiber elongation, revealing significant molecular-level changes in disulfide crosslinks but maintained structural stability, highlighting the role of the cuticle in stress resistance.

This study found that eyebrow follicles, as opposed to buccal swabs or nails, are the most reliable tissue for post-HSCT germline genetic testing due to lower donor DNA contamination.

This review examined 40 studies on exosome-based therapies for alopecia areata, reporting significant hair regrowth and improvements in hair count, length, and thickness, but highlighted the need for standardized methodologies and robust RCTs before clinical application.

This review highlights the lack of a comprehensive synthesis of stem cell therapy research by categorizing current studies according to medical specialty and stem cell type, while analyzing their advantages and limitations across various medical disciplines.

In this study, cats fed trace minerals complexed with lysine and glutamic acid displayed temporary improvements in hair loss and dander scores at 45 days, compared to those receiving inorganic trace minerals, although no differences were seen by day 90.

This study investigated the feasibility of measuring scalp hair glucocorticoids as a stress indicator in older adults with intellectual disabilities and found moderate feasibility overall, with higher success in females and those with moderate disabilities, but lower feasibility in males, particularly those balding.

This study discovered that in *Drosophila*, knockdown of specific storage proteins in adipocytes decreased germline stem cell maintenance, implicating a role for these proteins in adult tissue regulation.

This study observed distinct plasma miRNA profiles in alopecia areata, identifying several miRNAs downregulated in both mild and severe forms; machine learning models demonstrated strong predictive accuracy, and kinase inhibitors were suggested as promising therapeutic targets based on pathway analysis.

This study identified a unique circulating microRNA signature associated with severe alopecia areata, distinguishing it from other inflammatory skin conditions and suggesting these miRNAs as non-invasive biomarkers for diagnosis and potential therapeutic targets.

The authors report a rare case of trichilemmal carcinoma in the thigh of a 71-year-old, emphasizing the importance of complete surgical excision to prevent recurrence and support patient prognosis.

In this study, intravenous corticosteroid pulse therapy for rapidly progressive alopecia areata showed that 74.5% of patients achieved a good response in the long-term, and a revised scoring system predicted relapse risk effectively in cases with preceding infectious symptoms.

In this cross-sectional study conducted at Farhat Hached Hospital in Tunisia, more than half of the 60 alopecia areata patients surveyed experienced depression, particularly younger individuals and those with severe or specific forms of the condition, underscoring the need for psychological support.

In this study, dermatophytosis in cattle around Parbhani was found to have a prevalence of 17.2%, with Clove oil treatment showing the quickest recovery in 7 days.
