This study found that Secretory Phospholipase A2-IIA (sPLA2-IIA) promotes proliferation through JNK/c-Jun signaling, distinctively affecting normal stem cells and cancer cells, suggesting it as a potential target for cancer treatment.

In this study of seven randomized clinical trials, JAK inhibitors were associated with improved hair regrowth outcomes in alopecia areata patients compared to placebo, with oral administration being more effective than external application, though longer trials are needed to confirm safety and effectiveness.

This study found that hyperpigmentation following contact immunotherapy for severe alopecia areata may indicate poor treatment responsiveness and aligns with characteristics of pigmented contact dermatitis.

In this study, researchers developed and tested a gel containing apocynin-loaded nanoparticles that showed promising results in treating rheumatoid arthritis in rats, suggesting potential for novel topical treatments in inflammatory conditions.

This systematic review and meta-analysis found that hidradenitis suppurativa is associated with an increased risk of major adverse cardiac events, including cerebrovascular accidents and myocardial infarction, although study heterogeneity affects the magnitude of risk.

This study found that the proposed Bayesian measurement-error-driven hidden Markov regression model effectively calibrated inflated covariate effect sizes in a community-based survey on androgenetic alopecia regardless of misclassification type.

This Cochrane review found no clear superiority among treatments for central serous chorioretinopathy, with low-dose photodynamic therapy, supplements, and eplerenone showing slightly higher probabilities of improving visual acuity, but evidence remains uncertain due to biases and small study sizes.

This article reviews the consumption patterns and historical use of Allium vegetables like onions and garlic for their potential antimicrobial and cardiovascular benefits, but reports no new clinical findings.

Oral JAK inhibitors are safe for alopecia areata, but baricitinib may cause more acne and infections.

This study found that androgenic alopecia was associated with a decreased risk of testicular germ cell tumors but a potential increased risk of high-grade prostate cancer.

This study observed that using the Fisher score feature selection approach with capsule network models led to a promising 94% accuracy in diabetes detection, indicating its potential as a diagnostic tool.

This study reported that the PTGER2 gene is strongly expressed in cashmere goat skin and its expression tends to decrease from the anagen to telogen stages of the hair follicle cycle.

In this study, researchers found that specific mutations in iRhom2 in mice lead to skin and hair abnormalities which depend on the presence of the protein ADAM17, suggesting a complex role for iRhom2 in tissue development and potential implications for treating tylosis with oesophageal cancer.

This review explores how hair dyes and perms can damage hair structure and notes that while some adverse outcomes like skin irritation and allergic reactions have been reported, evidence from human studies remains inconsistent regarding potential risks, including cancer.

This study concluded that adding Kanglaite injection to gemcitabine and cisplatin chemotherapy for advanced non-small cell lung cancer improved response rates and reduced adverse side effects.

This Cochrane Review protocol aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of various treatments for alopecia areata through a network meta-analysis, but no specific study findings are reported yet.

This study in Tehran found that, after adjusting for confounders, women with PCOS had no different risk of non-pregnancy after assisted reproductive treatment compared to women without PCOS.

This proof-of-concept study reported that a new, ultra-fast, one-step immunohistochemistry method improved the interpretation of Mohs surgery slides, particularly for poorly differentiated tumors.

This study evaluated the effects of topical glucocorticoids on human skin using non-invasive imaging methods and observed changes such as alterations in skin layer thickness, keratinocyte size, and collagen and elastin signal intensity.

This protocol outlines a planned Cochrane Review to evaluate the effects of 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors on lower urinary tract symptoms caused by benign prostatic obstruction, and it reports no new findings.

This review explores quercetin's potential in multifunctional theranostic systems, highlighting its bioactivity and the challenges of improving its clinical application through innovative strategies like nanoencapsulation, while noting that research in this area is underdeveloped.

This study reports that a novel ketoconazole-loaded microneedle array significantly enhances drug delivery and retention in the skin, demonstrating improved hair growth in animal models, suggesting a promising treatment for androgenic alopecia that addresses current topical therapies' limitations.

This study examined the dementia risk in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia using alpha-blockers and 5-alpha reductase inhibitors, finding no significant association between these medications and increased dementia risk compared to no treatment, but noted higher risk probabilities for certain 5ARIs.

In this study, the analysis of PCOS subreddit data revealed that lifestyle changes and supplements were perceived positively for managing PCOS symptoms, while contraceptives were often linked with negative experiences, except when they included anti-androgenic progestins.

In this case report, a domestic shorthair cat with Trypanosoma evansi infection fully recovered after treatment with diminazene aceturate and supportive therapies, with no Trypanosoma detected in the blood following the treatment course.
