January 2019 in “Industrial Law Journal” This article reviews two new legislative measures affecting domiciliary care workers in Wales and reports no new research results; it highlights implications for labor law and devolution debates.
June 2018 in “Surgical Case Reports” S-1 treatment led to a complete response in pancreatic cancer with manageable side effects.
April 2017 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” In this study, distinct molecular mechanisms of action were identified for three drugs used in alopecia areata clinical trials, providing insights for precision medicine and treatment selection.
January 2016 in “Hair transplant forum international” This article communicates that there is no fundamental difference between the author's previous position on the future of hair restoration and opposing viewpoints but reports no new findings.
January 2015 in “ScholarlyCommons (University of Pennsylvania)” This study discovered that DNA damage independently induces IL-19 and IL-24 cytokines, which regulate senescence-associated secretory phenotype factors, suggesting potential pathways for treating cancer and age-related diseases.
July 2011 in “Hair transplant forum international” This article discusses a previous study on female pattern hair loss and responds to comments by other researchers without presenting new findings.
March 2009 in “European Urology Supplements” December 2008 in “Al-Mağallaẗ al-ʻirāqiyyaẗ li-l-ṣaydalaẗ” This study found that antioxidant vitamin treatment improved the hair growth rate in patients with alopecia areata, regardless of the duration of their condition.
March 1996 in “Proceedings of the British Society of Animal Science” This study examined how different forms of dietary zinc affect the dimensions, weight, and zinc content of dog hair to evaluate coat condition.
March 1996 in “Proceedings of the British Society of Animal Science” This study examined how the form of dietary zinc affects the dimensions, weight, and zinc content of dog hair, which are considered indicators of coat condition.
July 1989 in “British Journal of Dermatology” Women's acne improvement with antibiotics is not linked to signs of high male hormones.
June 2026 in “kerbala journal of pharmaceutical sciences” In this case-control study, individuals with alopecia areata showed significantly elevated levels of inflammatory markers IL-4, IFN-γ, and CRP, as well as reduced serum Folate and Ferritin, suggesting the condition's multifactorial pathophysiology involves immune activation, systemic inflammation, and micronutrient deficiencies.
January 2022 in “Social Science Research Network” This study found that most potassium channel blockers increased the activity of slowly adapting mechanoreceptors in rat whisker pads, while the opener NS1619 decreased their evoked activity.
September 2017 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study using a genetic mouse model found that S. aureus-driven dysbiosis sustains inflammatory skin side effects from EGFR inhibitors, suggesting prophylactic antibiotic treatment may reduce rash severity without fixing barrier defects.
December 2021 in “Faculty Opinions – Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature”
January 2017 in “Faculty Opinions – Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature” 60% of women who didn't respond to 5% minoxidil for hair loss showed significant improvement with a 15% minoxidil solution.
April 2016 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found a perfect correlation between laser Doppler velocimetry measurements of scalp blood perfusion after minoxidil application and sulfotransferase enzyme activity in hair follicles, indicating a potential non-invasive test to predict minoxidil response in female pattern hair loss.
