This article describes how a new blood glucose management service at the NIH Clinical Center improved safety and patient outcomes for hospitalized patients with diabetes.

This study highlights a paradox where valproic acid, known for causing hair loss, may also promote hair growth when applied topically.

This case report highlights a rare presentation of acute lupus hemophagocytic syndrome with initially negative antinuclear antibodies, underscoring the higher sensitivity of the 2012 Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics criteria for diagnosis.

This study found that low levels of ferritin and iron were common among women with diffuse hair loss, suggesting these tests could be useful in evaluating such patients.

This study found that mice lacking myelin protein zero-like 3 (Mpzl3) had reduced body weight and adiposity despite increased food intake, which was linked to higher energy expenditure and improved glycemic control.

This review supports iron deficiency anemia as a valid cause of chronic generalized pruritus and suggests potential mechanisms by which iron deficiency may lead to pruritus, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the range of long-term complications, including mucocutaneous, ocular, and psychological sequelae, for survivors of Stevens–Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses emerging evidence on azathioprine's efficacy and safety for severe alopecia areata, reporting sustained response in many patients but emphasizing the need for controlled trials.

This review discusses the complexities of interpreting thyroid function tests, highlighting the challenges primary care providers face due to patient demand and misinformation, but reports no new results.

In this study, a plasma-fluorescent corticoid test effectively differentiated patients with adrenal insufficiency from those with normal adrenal function based on their response to corticotropin.

In this study conducted on Iraqi individuals with celiac disease not on a gluten-free diet, researchers observed elevated serum urea and creatinine levels, which may indicate an increased risk of renal dysfunction, alongside decreased magnesium, zinc, and vitamin C compared to healthy controls.

In this study involving rats with letrozole-induced polycystic ovary syndrome, Agaricus subrufescens significantly reduced blood glucose, total cholesterol, testosterone levels, and renal markers, suggesting its potential protective effects on both metabolic and reproductive parameters.

This retrospective study found that juvenile alopecia areata is more severe and has a worse prognosis than maturity-onset alopecia areata.

This retrospective study in a tertiary hair clinic concluded that routine monitoring of heart rate, weight, liver, and kidney function is not necessary for asymptomatic patients with normal baseline values undergoing low-dose oral minoxidil treatment, although monitoring is advised for those with preexisting renal impairment.

This document discusses the British Association of Dermatologists' current perspective on isotretinoin, focusing on its known side effects, prescribing requirements, teratogenic risks, and the contentious link to mood changes, reporting no new research findings.

In this study, the authors reported that taking 20 mg or more of biotin can interfere with thyroid function tests, potentially leading to false diagnoses of conditions like Grave's disease.

This study found that Origanum vulgare extract significantly ameliorated finasteride-induced liver and kidney damage in mice by improving biochemical indices, reducing inflammation, and enhancing antioxidant status in a dose-dependent manner.

Regenerative repair is essential to prevent long-term kidney function issues after obstruction.

This study found that hemodialysis patients taking water-soluble vitamins had a 16% lower mortality risk compared to those not taking any, but the specific supplementation needed remains unclear.

This study developed the TLMG hydrogel, a seamless in situ biointerface platform, demonstrating robust adhesion, high conductivity, and therapeutic effects for intelligent wound management in complex animal models and human tests, indicating its promise for integrated bioelectronic medicine.

This review discusses cyclosporine A's mechanisms of action and side effects compared to tacrolimus in renal transplantation, but it reports no new experimental results; the authors highlight implications for cardiovascular risk management.

Minoxidil lowers blood pressure in kids with kidney issues, but use carefully due to side effects.

This case report describes a 65-year-old woman with childhood-onset growth hormone deficiency who developed panhypopituitarism, including late-onset secondary hypoadrenocorticism, affecting her respiratory and renal function.

This study observed that methanol extract of Phoenix dactilifera improved kidney function in rats at 4 and 8 mg/kg doses, but a 16 mg/kg dose may impair kidney function by affecting urea and potassium excretion.

This review discusses the role of the mineralocorticoid receptor in skin biology, highlighting its potential involvement in keratinocyte and hair physiology, and proposes it may affect the side effects of glucocorticoid use.

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.

This study involved analyzing hair-removal advertisements and conducting focus group interviews with 28 female university students in Budapest to explore societal attitudes toward female body hair removal, aiming to understand the reasons behind its strong norm compliance.

This article discusses the importance of interpreting laboratory data and performing physical assessments to support pharmacists in clinical decision-making and patient consultations, but reports no new empirical findings.

In this report, a 46-year-old woman's sudden diffuse hair loss was diagnosed as granulomatous alopecia areata, with spontaneous hair regrowth observed after two months. This case highlights that granulomatous inflammation should not exclude the diagnosis of alopecia areata, emphasizing the importance of clinicopathological correlation.

This study reported that subcutaneous trastuzumab improved certain symptoms and did not negatively impact health-related quality of life in patients with early or metastatic HER2-overexpressing breast cancer.
