In this study, EQ-5D-5L and SF-6DV2 showed suitable measurement properties in assessing health utility among Chinese university staff and students, though they reported differences in sensitivity and cannot be used interchangeably.

In this study, researchers at Nottingham Children's Renal Unit found that most pediatric patients switching from Prograf to the generic tacrolimus preparation Adoport maintained stable tacrolimus levels and therapeutic effectiveness, supporting Adoport's use as a cost-saving alternative for the NHS.

This study suggests that SRD5A2 polymorphisms may increase the risk of acne in individuals with normal serum testosterone levels, particularly in the Chinese population.

This study found that autologous platelet rich plasma (PRP) may be a safe and effective treatment for limited alopecia areata, with varying levels of hair regrowth observed among patients.

This study found that Janus Kinase inhibitors, tofacitinib and baricitinib, showed effectiveness and safety in treating severe alopecia areata in a real-world setting, with optimal tolerability noted in younger individuals.

This study observed that both SARS-CoV-2 and other acute respiratory infections are linked to a wide range of long-term symptoms, highlighting the need to investigate post-acute sequelae beyond COVID-19.

This study concluded that there was no consistent association between endogenous sex hormone levels and atopic dermatitis in the populations studied.

In this study, approximately 24% of an Egyptian population reported hair loss following COVID-19 vaccination, confirmed through dermoscopy, although stress and infection were also possible contributing factors that need further investigation.

This study found that supplementing cholecalciferol with L-thyroxine significantly reduced depression levels in hypothyroid patients with autoimmune thyroiditis compared to L-thyroxine alone.

This study found that while participants in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, had good knowledge about Vitamin D and recognized sunlight as a key source, there was inconsistency in their attitudes towards maintaining adequate Vitamin D levels.

This study found that among Chinese college freshmen, androgenetic alopecia was more prevalent in males and significantly associated with rosacea, but had no significant impact on quality of life or mental health measures.

Poor nutrition is linked to increased hair loss in Canadian children.

This study reported that two-thirds of adult females in Saudi Arabia recognized the link between vitamin D deficiency and hair loss, but overall knowledge was average, indicating a need for increased awareness and vitamin D supplementation.
