This case report highlights a severe kidney injury linked to the combined use of ciclosporin and simvastatin in a patient treated for alopecia universalis.

This article reports a case of rhabdomyolysis in a patient two hours after consuming the freshwater fish Mylossoma duriventre, suggesting a possible link to Haff disease from an unidentified toxin.

This review details the development of the alpha-helix model for protein structure proposed by Pauling and Corey and confirms its validity through X-ray studies of myoglobin and lysozyme.

This study observed that Nigerian women with PCOS have significantly higher levels of myocardial biomarkers (MYO, cTnI, CK-MB), indicating potential chronic, subclinical myocardial injury in this population.

This review compiles data on how the apelinergic system may protect against heart damage caused by doxorubicin cancer treatment, suggesting its potential to mitigate cardiotoxicity, though further research in chronic models is needed to confirm these effects and mechanisms.

This study found that in PCOS patients, variations in the lipin 1 gene, particularly the intron 1 SNP, may protect against insulin resistance and glucose intolerance, highlighting a potential genetic factor in the disorder's cardiometabolic complications.

Low-dose finasteride may cause muscle weakness and eye issues, but stopping the drug can lead to recovery.

This study presents a case of a 24-year-old man who developed mild transaminitis and rhabdomyolysis within 24 hours of starting valproic acid for seizures, with symptom resolution following drug cessation.

This article discusses iron deficiency anemia, its health implications, and the effectiveness of oral iron supplements in treatment, but reports no new clinical findings.

This narrative review reports that metformin, traditionally used for type 2 diabetes management, may offer therapeutic benefits for various skin disorders, such as acne, rosacea, and psoriasis, due to its anti-inflammatory and other beneficial properties, warranting further exploration in dermatology.

A man with both skin lesions and lung cancer improved quickly with chemotherapy, suggesting the skin condition might be a reaction to immune system injury.

This study observed that pediatric patients with diffuse, non-scarring alopecia had significantly lower levels of zinc and folate compared to matched healthy controls, suggesting a possible link between these deficiencies and hair loss in children.

This review discusses the applications of low level laser therapy (LLLT) in wound healing, pain reduction, and treating various conditions, but reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight the need for randomized controlled trials for serious diseases.

This review discusses the complexities of diagnosing and treating iron deficiency related to nutritional anemia and hair loss, concluding that routine screening and supplementation for hair loss are not yet supported by sufficient evidence.

This study reported that toxic shock syndrome, originally noted in children, is now predominantly associated with menstruating women, with some experiencing recurrence and complications like vocal cord paralysis and impaired finger sensation.

This review discusses the potential mechanisms and evidence supporting low-level laser therapy for stimulating hair growth in men and women, while noting its safety and effectiveness but needing further study on specific parameters.

This article reviews the impact of nutritional deficiencies on hair health, detailing how they can cause structural abnormalities, pigmentation changes, or hair loss; it presents no new clinical findings.

This study found that FLCN deficiency in mice muscles led to increased mitochondrial biogenesis and a metabolic shift towards oxidative phosphorylation, with a similar advantage observed in FLCN-null kidney cancer cells.

This review highlights the potential of near-infrared light therapy to improve metabolic, antioxidant, and cognitive functions without adverse effects, and supports its use for visual and neurological conditions through molecular and cellular mechanisms, as reported in this source.

This paper discusses the variability in COVID-19 susceptibility and severity, emphasizing factors like biological differences and suggesting potential precision medicine approaches, but it reports no new clinical results.

This article discusses the controversy over serum ferritin levels in diagnosing iron deficiency in women with hair loss but reports no new findings, emphasizing the need for consistent reference ranges.

This review discusses pharmacologic treatment options for muscle-related pain conditions and notes that there is strong evidence for the efficacy of tricyclic antidepressants and muscle relaxants in specific myofascial pain syndromes, but not universally.

In this study, mice exposed to prolonged space conditions demonstrated skin atrophy, altered hair follicle cycles, and significant changes in the gene expression associated with skin muscle health.

This review found that low-level laser therapy appears promising in improving hair regrowth and patient satisfaction in androgenetic alopecia, though results should be interpreted cautiously.

This study found that far-infrared radiation preconditioning significantly enhanced the proliferation, survival, and migration of bone marrow-derived stem cells in vitro, indicating potential therapeutic benefits for cardiac ischemia treatment.

In this study, CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ Regulatory T cells were found to reduce TGF-b1 induced lung fibrosis and fibrocyte accumulation in mice, partly by suppressing fibroblast growth factor 9.

This review discusses the potential of repeated low-level red-light therapy to inhibit myopia progression through metabolic effects, highlighting its molecular and cellular impact, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the current evidence and highlights gaps in research needed for the wider acceptance of low-level laser therapy as a treatment for hair loss; no new clinical results are provided.

This study suggests that human keratin fiber matrix has a well-defined nano-scale grainy structure rather than being amorphous, with grain size influenced by chemical treatments, temperature, humidity, and follicle-level factors.

This study reports that compound heterozygous loss-of-function mutations in the HEPHL1 gene in a child were associated with abnormal hair and cognitive issues, linking altered ferroxidase activity to hair disorders.
