December 2011 in “Journal of Gynecologic Surgery” In this study, laparoscopic ovarian diathermy with three to five punctures per ovary improved reproductive outcomes for women with clomiphene-resistant polycystic ovary syndrome, while more than six punctures may cause excessive ovarian damage.
April 2021 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” A deep learning model was developed to help diagnose trichothiodystrophy by analyzing hair patterns.
October 2024 in “Journal of Cutaneous Pathology” In this study of folliculitis decalvans, researchers found that compound follicular structures in scalp biopsies are primarily composed of terminal anagen follicles, surrounded by fibrosis and inflammatory cell infiltrate, which could enhance understanding of this condition.
7 citations
