This review highlights that various targeted cancer therapies are associated with specific ocular side-effects, emphasizing the importance of awareness among ophthalmologists for timely diagnosis and management.

This study found that while both professional and home-use lasers effectively reduced axillary hair, the professional Diode laser was significantly more effective, achieving 85-88% reduction compared to 46-52% with the home-use laser, which still offers some safety for users.

In this review, experts discuss the low but significant risk of serious eye complications from popular minimally invasive cosmetic procedures like fillers and botulinum toxin injections, underscoring the need for awareness, careful patient selection, and adherence to safe practices to help prevent these outcomes.

This research highlights that migraine in midlife women, during perimenopause, often becomes more frequent and intense, with evolving characteristics like migraine aura, and is associated with increased stroke risk, especially with hormone therapies.

This case report describes a young, healthy patient experiencing central retinal vein occlusion with cystoid macular edema while taking minoxidil for hair loss, which resolved without intervention after stopping the drug, leading to a recommendation for thorough medication history evaluations in similar cases.

This study investigated the role of the ABCA4 gene in human keratinocytes and hair follicle stem cells and found that silencing the ABCA4 gene increases the harmful effects of all-trans-retinal on hair follicle stem cells.

This review proposes a combination treatment scheme with a rotational approach for managing androgenetic alopecia, drawing on evidence for effectiveness, long-term use convenience, and patient acceptance, but presents no new clinical results.

In this literature review, researchers compiled evidence on repurposed synthetic radioprotective agents, including metformin and simvastatin, that have demonstrated potential in mitigating the side effects of radiotherapy in cancer treatment.

This review discusses the roles of metabolism, reactive oxygen species, intracellular pH, and cell morphology in influencing cell fate decisions during stem cell differentiation but reports no new experimental results.

This review highlights the use of natural products in cosmetic-containing herbals for skin and hair care but reports no new clinical results, calling attention to their claimed curative properties and minimal side effects.

This study found that lack of sleep, increased physical activity, and alopecia were associated with a higher risk of COVID-19 infection, while low-dose alcohol intake, hand hygiene, and daily fruit consumption were linked to reduced morbidity.

In this study, Japanese patients with alopecia areata were found to have higher BMI and retinol intake, with retinol intake predicting severity of hair loss.

In this study, the anti-wrinkle effect of bone morphogenetic protein receptor 1a extracellular domain was significantly greater than that of retinoic acid in a mouse model, suggesting potential for BMP antagonists in skin or hair treatments.
