This article describes petechiae on the fingertips as a presenting symptom of dermatitis herpetiformis but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that the loss of Msx2 in knockout mice led to phenotypes similar to Peters anomaly and microphthalmia, suggesting that MSX2 plays a critical role in anterior segment development of the eye.

In this study, researchers found that replacing natural aggregates with animal bones and human hair with increased microroughness may improve the mechanical strength and durability of concrete.

In this animal study, petroleum ether and ethanolic extracts of Abrus precatorius seeds appeared to reverse androgen-induced alopecia in male albino rats by inhibiting the 5α-reductase enzyme, similar to finasteride.

This study found that ethanolic and petroleum ether extracts of Cuscuta reflexa, as well as an isolate from these extracts, improved hair growth and follicle characteristics in androgen-induced alopecia in rats.

In this study, applying G. glabra root extract to female rats resulted in faster and more extensive hair growth than minoxidil or a control treatment.

This study found that the compound (+)–Marmesin from Petroselinum crispum showed potential as an anti-alopecia agent by demonstrating better binding to androgen receptors than minoxidil, though not surpassing native ligands.

In this study, 18F-FDG PET/CT revealed increased FDG uptake in the scalp of a woman after platelet-rich plasma therapy, indicating potential inflammatory changes.

This study found that petroleum ether extract of Abrus precatorius leaves at 300 mg/kg promoted hair growth in animal models similarly to 2% minoxidil.

This study found that petroleum ether extract of Glycyrrhiza glabra prevented alopecia in testosterone-treated male rats, demonstrating effects comparable to the standard treatment finasteride.

This article is an obituary for Professor P. K. Thomas, highlighting his significant contributions to neurology and anatomy, including his research on peripheral nerves and his role as an editor of the Journal of Anatomy.

This study evaluated petroleum jelly-based bioactive glass ointments with varying copper concentrations for wound healing in chronic wound models, finding that the 3 wt% copper formulation significantly improved healing by enhancing tissue regeneration, vascularization, and antibacterial protection compared to controls.

In this study, a parsley-derived n-hexane fraction formulated into a coconut oil-based nanoemulsion demonstrated significant hair regrowth comparable to 3% minoxidil, with near-complete coverage by day 17, suggesting potential as a topical hair growth treatment.

This study evaluated the anti-alopecia effects of Petroselinum crispum leaf extracts in a rabbit model and through molecular docking analysis, finding that two ethyl acetate fractions promoted hair growth, with effects comparable to minoxidil, suggesting potential for alopecia treatment development.

In this study, a petroleum ether extract of Hemidesmus indicus seeds demonstrated hair growth-promoting effects in animal models, comparable to 2% minoxidil, by increasing the transition of hair follicles from telogen to anagen phase.

This study found that the petroleum ether extract of Glycyrrhiza glabra roots promoted faster and longer hair growth in female Wistar rats compared to minoxidil and control treatments.

In this study, the CYP 21A2 gene p.V281L mutation was associated with an increased susceptibility to familial frontal fibrosing alopecia, suggesting an antigen-driven mechanism linked to certain human leukocyte antigen haplotypes.

This study found that Undariopsis peterseniana extract may promote hair growth by activating specific cellular pathways, suggesting potential for treating alopecia.

In this study, researchers analyzed data from Spain to find that alopecia areata is more prevalent in adults, with a point prevalence of 0.44% in 2021; they also noted significant healthcare costs and comorbidities, highlighting an unmet treatment need given limited systemic treatment use.

This case report describes the first documented instance of sarcoptic mange in a pet rabbit in Korea, with successful treatment using weekly ivermectin injections leading to full recovery.

This study observed mycobacterial infection with M. xenopi in a pet ferret, noting its resistance to doxycycline, and highlighted the potential zoonotic transmission risk associated with such infections.

In this study, tea tree oil was found to have substantial antibacterial activity and promote proliferation and migration of hair follicle stem cells in vitro, indicating potential benefits for treating scalp alopecia areata.

This study reported that FDG PET/CT imaging provided additional information that significantly impacted the treatment and prognosis in seven out of ten canine cancer patients, suggesting its potential in veterinary oncology.

In this case study, a 12-year-old boy with a restricted diet exhibited symptoms of scurvy, including leg weakness and bruising, which improved following treatment with vitamin C and B12 supplements, highlighting the impact of severe vitamin deficiencies on health.

This study demonstrated that topical anthralin at concentrations of 0.1% to 1% is effective and well-tolerated for treating pediatric alopecia areata, with 0.2% offering the best results and requiring at least six months of treatment to achieve substantial hair regrowth.

The study observed that topical minoxidil poses an increasing and potentially deadly risk to pets, particularly cats, highlighting the urgent need for better public education and product labeling.

This study found that the vitamin D receptor in lampreys, which lack bones and hair, binds 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and may function to induce enzymes for detoxifying substances.

This study found that the ethyl acetate fraction of Hibiscus rosa sinensis petals significantly reduced serum glucose and glycated hemoglobin levels in diabetic rats, showing effects comparable to the standard drug metformin.

In this study, researchers found that a single oral dose of afoxolaner was safe and effective in treating a severe case of Trixacarus caviae mange in a guinea pig, achieving full remission of clinical signs and mite eradication within 4 weeks without needing repeated treatment.

This study observed a high prevalence of the dermatophyte M. canis in humans and pets in Egypt, particularly highlighting the potential for zoonotic transmission from dogs and cats to humans.
