This study observed no significant difference in vitamin D levels between children with alopecia areata and controls, but higher complete improvement in alopecia was noted among patients with vitamin D deficiency undergoing oral vitamin D treatment.

This review discusses zinc's role in dog metabolism and suggests that zinc from amino acid chelates might be better absorbed than from inorganic sources, but reports no new experimental results.

This review discusses zinc's role in dog nutrition, emphasizing that zinc absorption may be improved when provided as an amino acid chelate rather than an inorganic source, but reports no new results.

This study identified three new mutations in the VDR ligand-binding domain that may cause dysfunction, and noted that oral calcium and calcidol treatment was effective, but only one patient experienced hair growth.

This case report discusses a 27-month-old girl with vitamin D-dependent rickets type II, who showed minor improvement in skeletal features and alopecia after high-dose oral calcium and vitamin D3 treatment.

This case study reports that a 3 ½ year-old male with vitamin D-dependent type II rickets showed partial improvement in alopecia and rickets when treated with high doses of 1,25(OH)2 vitamin D3.

This case study reported on a 3-year-old child with vitamin D-dependent rickets type II treated in the Gaza Strip, whose condition deteriorated despite vitamin D and calcium treatments, leading to recurrent chest infections, respiratory failure, and eventual death.

This study highlights the role of Orai1 in ameloblast differentiation and maturation, showing that its down-regulation affects cell proliferation and enamel formation during tooth development.

A genetic mutation caused severe rickets and alopecia in an Indian patient, but high-dose calcium and phosphate treatment improved their condition.

This article reviews the problem of acne and hirsutism in women, highlighting the effectiveness of combined oral contraceptives containing drospirenone and levomefolate calcium in managing these conditions and polycystic ovary syndrome, but no new clinical results are reported.

This review discusses current pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment strategies for PCOS, emphasizing the need for a personalized, multimodal approach due to incomplete understanding of the syndrome's pathogenesis.

This study observed that oral calcium pantothenate may reverse hair greying in some adolescent cases, as seen in two girls whose grey hairs turned black after treatment.

In this study, oral calcium pantothenate was associated with improvement in the inflammatory phase of discoid lupus erythematosus of the scalp, with the most marked response observed in subacute cases.

In a case study of vitamin D-dependent rickets type 2A, researchers observed that while active vitamin D treatment failed to improve bone and laboratory abnormalities, oral calcium lactate significantly ameliorated these issues, although skin and hair problems remained unresponsive.

This study found that a combination of oral compounds improved metabolic activity, cell viability, and proliferation in hair follicular keratinocytes, with L-cystine playing a key role in protection against oxidative stress.

A man with a rare skin condition and a new gene mutation developed high calcium levels due to his treatment.

In this study, a Chinese Han family with hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets was found to have a homozygous missense mutation in the VDR gene, and the affected individual uniquely responded well to treatment with oral calcium and low-dose calcitriol.

This study found that ointments containing indomethacin and its calcium salt showed potent anti-inflammatory effects on rat paw edema and arthritis with minimal skin irritation, suggesting potential for clinical use.

In this study, a novel VDR gene mutation was identified in a child with HVDRR, and the researchers observed that high-dose intravenous calcium therapy led to significant and sustained improvement in rickets symptoms.

This study found no conclusive link between prolonged mibolerone treatment and perifollicular mineralization in toy poodles, suggesting it may instead be a senile change common in the breed.

This case report describes a 27-year-old male with autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 1, characterized by symptoms including fever, dysarthria, dysphagia, oral candidiasis, nail dystrophy, alopecia, hypoparathyroidism, and dilated cardiomyopathy. The study highlights unique bilateral symmetrical brain calcifications and underscores the syndrome’s diverse manifestations.
