This report describes a case of alopecia universalis in a woman with hepatitis C linked to pegylated interferon alfa-2b and ribavirin therapy, with hair regrowth observed one year after discontinuation.

This case report identified dystrophic anagen effluvium as a previously unreported dermatological side effect of PEG-INF-α-2a/RBV combination therapy in a patient with chronic hepatitis C infection.

This case report highlights that a patient developed alopecia areata following treatment with sofosbuvir and ribavirin for chronic hepatitis C.

This case report describes irreversible alopecia universalis following discontinuation of Peg-IFN/RBV treatment for chronic hepatitis C, highlighting potential autoimmune side effects of interferon-based therapies.

Melatonin may help with nerve pain, a hepatitis C drug is effective but has side effects, a treatment for mouth sores works but can cause blood issues, ear reconstruction with an implant is safe, HIV transmission from mother to child in Taiwan is now 0% with treatment, certain blood problems are more common in people with a tongue condition, a gene and being overweight are linked to hair loss in some women, a new technique could reduce radiation for lung nodule patients, a hepatitis treatment may lower cancer recurrence after a procedure, and adding extra screening improves tuberculosis detection in patients with lung infections.

This case report documents a reversible instance of complete body hair loss (alopecia universalis) in a patient undergoing chronic hepatitis C treatment with pegylated interferon alpha-2b and ribavirin, with hair regrowth observed within three months after therapy completion.

This review discusses adverse effects associated with pegylated IFN therapy for chronic hepatitis C and highlights the potential of new antiviral drugs to reduce side effects and improve treatment adherence, but reports no new clinical results.

This case report detailed alopecia universalis developing shortly after hepatitis C treatment with peg-interferon, ribavirin, and telaprevir, suggesting potential immune-related links between interferon treatment and alopecia areata.

This case report describes a rare instance of alopecia universalis occurring eight weeks after discontinuing pegylated interferon α and ribavirin therapy, highlighting the need for awareness among healthcare providers.

This study reported that while lichen planus was not significantly linked to hepatitis C virus infection, pruritus, dry skin, and hair loss were more common in HCV patients post-interferon treatment.

This case study suggests that treatment with Pil-Food, intended for hair loss prevention, may have triggered postinfantile giant cell hepatitis with autoimmune characteristics, which showed a rapid and effective response to corticosteroid therapy.

This article reviews the potential of platelet-rich plasma therapy in managing diabetic foot ulcers but reports no new clinical findings, highlighting the need for further controlled trials to evaluate its effectiveness.

This study found significant variability in the production and use of platelet-rich plasma and related products in Brazil, highlighting the need for regulatory measures to ensure safety.

This article reviews advancements in understanding skin regeneration and suggests that bioengineering skin surrogates may soon enhance treatments for skin trauma, but it presents no new clinical findings.

This study bibliometrically evaluated 5741 articles on PRP from 1980 to 2024, highlighting Türkiye's contribution and identifying prominent research areas such as orthopedics and wound healing.

This study found that a centrifugation protocol of 1300 rpm/246 g for 20 minutes followed by 1600 rpm/373 g for 20 minutes achieved the highest platelet yield in platelet-rich plasma.

This study concluded that mesenchymal stem cells from adipose tissue harvested using laser-assisted liposuction with selective photo-stimulation are as effective and low-risk for cell therapy as those obtained through conventional liposuction, based on their differentiation potential, cellular proliferation, and cytokine expression.

The study found that adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells obtained via laser-assisted liposuction with selective photo-stimulation are comparable in differentiation potential and tumorigenic risk to those from conventional liposuction for cell therapy applications.

This study reviews drug-induced hair changes, noting that hair loss often reverses after stopping the drug, but permanent alopecia cases post-chemotherapy are rising.

This study found that hypertrophic chondrocytes at the fracture callus border may convert to osteoblasts, influenced by vasculature and pluripotency gene expression.

This case report details an occurrence of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease during pegylated interferon-α2b and ribavirin therapy for chronic hepatitis C.

This report from SRUC VS highlighted a suspected case of Schmallenberg virus infection in a calf born to an imported heifer, noting consistent clinical signs and seroconversion in the dam.

This study found that vinblastine treatment rapidly increased platelet counts in childhood refractory immune thrombocytopenia, providing effective control of bleeding symptoms, although side effects like neuropathic pain were common and resolved with dose adjustments.

This case report illustrates the diagnostic challenges and importance of early detection in primary vitreoretinal lymphoma, highlighting a successful treatment outcome with systemic chemotherapy in preventing CNS progression.

This study reported a case of hereditary vitamin D–resistant rickets caused by a single heterozygous missense mutation in the VDR gene, showing dominant-negative effects and reduced response to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3.

In this case report, researchers observed that local radiation therapy to the orbits may not be sufficient to halt progression of new retinal lesions in older patients, even when the disease initially appears confined to the intraocular space.

In this study, eight patients with hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets who share a specific VDR mutation showed improved clinical symptoms except alopecia after up to 11 years of treatment.

In this study, a novel VDR gene mutation was identified in a child with HVDRR, and the researchers observed that high-dose intravenous calcium therapy led to significant and sustained improvement in rickets symptoms.

This study describes a patient with hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets (HVDRR) who, despite having a truncated vitamin D receptor, did not exhibit typical hair or skin abnormalities, suggesting possible compensation via interactions with other proteins.

This study found that CMV infection in a mouse model of allogeneic transplantation was associated with increased allo-reactive T cell expansion and exacerbated graft-versus-host disease, highlighting the need for effective GvHD prophylaxis and treatment.
