This study concluded that the process of mummification disfigures facial features, making identification challenging, but commercial shrunken heads retain more defining features compared to ceremonial ones.

The 15th-century Korean mummy's hair was well-preserved due to a protective lime-soil coating.

This clinical report details the case of a 22-year-old man experiencing severe pustular eruptions on his chest and back, which improved after increasing minocycline to 100 mg twice daily.

A benign tumor developed at a girl's BCG vaccination site, not previously linked to the vaccine.

This study found that the 16th-century mummified hair from a female mummy in Paju was remarkably well-preserved, with the hair's ultrastructural features maintained likely due to a calcium-rich surface coat.

This study observed that eliminating positional error in hair segment analysis can improve understanding of changes in isotopic composition, aiding the identification of pathological conditions and dietary patterns.

Cosmetics enhance beauty, fix defects, and intimidate enemies, with varying cultural standards and alternative methods.

This study shows that environmental contamination affects mummy hair, suggesting that using it to assess ancient people's health or nutrition should be approached cautiously.

This study developed a new proteomic method to identify and assess ancient hair proteins using only small amounts of sample, providing insights into hair protein alteration processes over time.

This review highlights Nigella sativa L. (black cumin) as a plant with numerous health benefits, noting its rich nutritional profile and reported therapeutic effects such as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, identified through various in vitro, in vivo, and clinical research studies.

This review of Cedrus libani highlights its potential as a source of natural antioxidants and antimicrobials and notes that it may offer analgesic and anti-inflammatory benefits; however, further toxicological and clinical studies are necessary to confirm its safety and efficacy for treating human diseases.

This case report concludes that the presence of distinctive histiocytic responses in a Cambodian woman's eyelid lipogranulomas suggests surreptitious silicone injections despite her denial of prior procedures.

This study describes the enzymatic processes through which DHEA is converted to active sex steroids in human skin, highlighting an androgenic effect on sebaceous glands and estrogenic effects in the vagina.

This article discusses intraoperative floppy iris syndrome during cataract surgery and highlights the importance of awareness and preoperative documentation of its risk factors, emphasizing a multidisciplinary approach to management.

This study found that Hedgehog signaling likely contributes to cervical carcinogenesis, and while itraconazole reduced growth in mice, it did so through pathways other than inhibiting Hedgehog signaling.

This study concluded that cyproterone acetate alone produced antiandrogenic effects on the female gerbil prostate, while ethinyloestradiol alone stimulated estrogenic activity, and their combination led to prostatic lesions.

This study hypothesizes that a mummified 19th Century girl in San Francisco died of severe undernourishment potentially due to a bacterial-borne disease, highlighting historical health challenges mitigated by modern sanitation and medicine.

This study found that the hair of a 16th-century female mummy discovered in Paju was remarkably well-preserved due primarily to a calcium-based surface coating that likely inhibited moisture and microorganism infiltration.

This study found that the molecular structures of α-keratin and collagen in a 2,100-year-old female cadaver's hair and tendon were preserved, while fibrous molecule aggregations were altered.

This study investigates calcium and phosphorus accumulations in the hair of mummies from the Taklamakan desert and debates their exogenous or endogenous origin.

This study analyzed animal hairs from 18th-century burial sites in Mazamet, France, reporting distinct hair morphologies consistent with the use of common local animal furs such as goat, badger, cow, or horse, reflecting the modest socioeconomic status of the individuals interred.

This study used Scanning Electron Microscopy to analyze South American mummy hair, revealing high levels of sulfur, calcium, and potassium, highlighting SEM's utility in anthropological investigations.
