In this study of female patients with chronic telogen effluvium, 86% had low serum ferritin levels despite only 32% having anemia, suggesting a potential link between low iron stores and this type of hair loss.

This study investigated the phytochemical composition and antibacterial and antioxidant activities of Zaleya pentandra extracts, finding high total polyphenol and flavonoid content and significant antibacterial effects, particularly in acetone extract, which may be suitable for developing antibacterial agents.

In this study, black rice extract ointment was found to enhance hair follicle growth in Wistar rats, with 10% to 30% formulations showing progressively greater hair growth after 21 days, attributed to the high antioxidant content.

This study presents a method using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry to quantify biotin in plasma and serum, and explores how high biotin intake can interfere with diagnostic immunoassays that utilize biotin-streptavidin technology, potentially leading to misdiagnosis of endocrine disorders.

This study found that parents of children with cancer experienced significant somatic health issues during and after their child's treatment, with increased complications reported after treatment.
