This case report presents a patient with idiopathic isolated ACTH deficiency and testicular germ cell tumor, with alopecia areata as an initial symptom, suggesting a potential link between these conditions.

The researchers suggest that inflammation could be a key mechanism in the development of long COVID, potentially causing symptoms that emerge months after the acute phase of the disease resolves.

This retrospective study in a tertiary hair clinic concluded that routine monitoring of heart rate, weight, liver, and kidney function is not necessary for asymptomatic patients with normal baseline values undergoing low-dose oral minoxidil treatment, although monitoring is advised for those with preexisting renal impairment.

Systemic minoxidil improves hair density in women with female pattern hair loss over time.

This study reported that 72% of topical minoxidil users experienced adverse effects, such as scalp irritation and facial hypertrichosis, although only 20% discontinued treatment, indicating that longer use may improve tolerance despite initial side effects.
