This paper explores how the immunological responses of breast cancer patients are transformed into an economic process by commoditizing treatment-related needs, documenting this journey through an ethnographic study with a breast cancer charity.

Non-drug methods like diet, supplements, and aromatherapy can help manage hair loss and its emotional impact.

This study concluded that UK law falls short in ensuring effective workplace equality for individuals with visible differences, suggesting amendments to the definition of disability and other legal reforms as potential solutions.

This study found that obesity in women may impair endometrial stromal function and contribute to reproductive complications, possibly due to metabolic influences rather than immune cell differences.

This article discusses ovarian steroid cell tumors, which can produce testosterone and manifest symptoms like hirsutism, emphasizing surgery as the primary treatment, but reports no new clinical findings.

This paper explores the social challenges individuals with medical hair loss face when using wigs, highlighting the complex identity management involved and the social obligations to disclose wig use to close ones.

This narrative review evaluates evidence that regional hypothermia can reduce oral, hair, eye, and nail complications from chemotherapy, but highlights the need for more research to address study limitations.

This study found that the CDK4/6 inhibitor palbociclib may protect human hair follicles from the damaging effects of taxane chemotherapy by inducing G1 arrest in stem/progenitor cells.

This study found that the Hair Mass Index is suitable for quantifying hair loss, but patient self-assessment is the most reliable method for evaluating chemotherapy-induced alopecia in clinical practice.

This study highlights promising advancements in non-invasive techniques for treating hair-related conditions, emphasizing the importance of customizing treatments based on individual needs.

This study identified multiple loss of function variants in the HR gene linked to the unique hair coat phenotype in lykoi cats, also known as werewolf cats.

This study demonstrated the usefulness of fully implantable loggers in measuring heart rate and sub-blubber temperature in captive harbour seals, with findings suggesting lower heart rates during molting and differences in temperature regulation between adults and sub-adults.

This study found that 808 nm laser photobiomodulation altered mitochondrial respiration and enhanced osteogenic protein expression in human dental pulp stem cells, with the effects being dose-specific and more pronounced at 15 J/cm².

The research observed that a penguin cap scalp cooling system may effectively reduce chemotherapy-induced alopecia, though its success varies due to individual characteristics and treatment regimens.

This study reports that FDA-approved scalp cooling caps, like DigniCap and Paxman, can help 50-66% of breast cancer patients retain at least 50% of their hair during chemotherapy, with specific recommendations and limitations discussed for different patient groups.

This study will evaluate the clinical efficacy, patient-reported outcomes, and economic impact of the PAXMAN® PSCS 2 automated scalp cooling system versus standard cold-cap therapy to prevent chemotherapy-induced hair loss in women with localized breast cancer during anthracycline and taxane treatment.

Scalp cooling prevented hair loss in half of the patients, despite significant side effects.

Scalp cooling significantly reduces hair loss in chemotherapy patients.

This study reported that optimized nanocrystalline CuAlO2 thin-film transistors exhibited a threshold voltage of −1.3 V and may contribute to advancements in low-cost complementary metal oxide semiconductor logic circuits.

This research examined krill oil's effects on benign prostatic hyperplasia and found that it inhibited the growth of prostate cells in vitro and reduced prostate size and weight in a BPH rat model, suggesting potential as a prophylactic or therapeutic agent for BPH.

A new hydrogel can kill resistant bacteria and help heal infected burn wounds.

This review examines existing evidence on scalp cooling systems to prevent or reduce chemotherapy-induced hair loss in cancer patients, noting promising results and their increasing adoption in clinical practice.

This review examines evidence on the effectiveness of cold caps or scalp cooling systems in reducing chemotherapy-induced hair loss, but it reports no new clinical results.

In this study, the Orbis PAXMAN® scalp cooling system showed effectiveness and good tolerability in preventing chemotherapy-induced hair loss in breast cancer patients, particularly those receiving anthracycline-free chemotherapy, though the presence of comorbidities was linked to a higher risk of severe alopecia.

This study found that over 80% of women treated with paclitaxel who used a hypothermic glycerin-based hydrogel cap preserved at least 50% of their initial hair volume, suggesting scalp cooling may effectively prevent chemotherapy-induced alopecia.

This narrative systematic review reports that gel-based, cryogel, and silicone-based cooling caps offer cost-effective and environmentally sustainable alternatives to traditional machine-operated systems for preventing chemotherapy-induced hair loss, particularly benefiting low-income and low-resource settings.

This review discusses the potential of cold atmospheric plasma as a selective antitumor therapy for breast cancer but reports no clinical results, emphasizing its promise and the challenges to its use in precision oncology.

This study found that both scalp cooling systems and chemical cooling caps effectively reduced chemotherapy-induced alopecia in early breast cancer patients, with scalp cooling showing better early efficacy but chemical cooling providing greater psychological and quality of life benefits.

This article reviews recent research and advancements in scalp cooling for preventing chemotherapy-induced hair loss, reporting no new clinical results.

This study used numerical models to explore the cooling power required by different scalp cooling devices to prevent chemotherapy-induced hair loss, finding that coolant temperature significantly influences scalp tissue temperatures.
