This study presented a new method for accurately measuring Fe³⁺ in small serum samples, achieving high recovery rates and agreement with established testing methods, while offering advantages such as cost-effectiveness, simplicity, and enhanced sensitivity.

This case report documented an elderly woman with delusional parasitosis, a belief of being infested by parasites, which was associated with severe anemia and resolved significantly after anemia treatment and antipsychotic medication.

This article discusses Dr. Jane Hightower's findings on the link between mercury exposure from fish consumption and health symptoms, sparking international debate and influencing regulatory advisories, but reports no new clinical results.

This study established a new mouse model for TCE-induced skin sensitization and reported that proinflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IFN-γ, and IL-2 significantly contribute to this sensitization process.

This article discusses the history and terminology of toxic epidermal necrolysis but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that supplementing arsenic-fed Black Bengal kids with vitamin E, alone or combined with yeast culture, partially ameliorated growth and reduced arsenic load in faeces, urine, and hair.

This report suggests that spectral-analysis of feathers may identify toxic mineral exposure in birds, as illustrated by a cockatoo with feather loss showing high levels of aluminum and cadmium.

This article reports two cases where zinc deficiency caused by excessive bowel resection and parenteral nutrition led to skin lesions that improved rapidly with zinc sulfate supplementation.

This study found higher concentrations of chromium, lead, and arsenic in the hair of workshop workers and traffic officers compared to a control group, indicating occupational exposure to these metals. Mercury levels varied across exposed groups, suggesting additional lifestyle factors may influence metal accumulation.

This study found that chronic use of Russelia equisetiformis extracts in rats may impair liver function, with a more pronounced effect observed from the methanol extract.

This editorial discusses the potential health risks of herbal preparations, highlighting a case of hepatotoxicity in a child due to pyrrolizidine alkaloids in a herbal tea; it reports no new results.

This study found that transgenic mice overexpressing the SSAT gene under a metallothionein promoter suffered delayed hair loss and were highly sensitive to polyamine analogues, which led to significant liver changes and mortality.

In this study, mice orally exposed to carbon-based nanoparticles for 30 days showed significant liver and kidney changes, behavioral alterations, and physiological disturbances, suggesting potential severe health risks due to the nanoparticles' slow clearance and formation of reactive oxygen species.

In this study, two dialysis patients with high plasma silicon levels exhibited symptoms like painful skin eruptions and unusual hair growth, suggesting silicon may influence calcium metabolism similarly to aluminum.

This case report described a probable case of acute liver injury associated with high-dose S. repens, highlighting the safety concerns of self-medicating with herbal supplements like saw palmetto.

Minoxidil can cause deadly skin reaction; monitor patients closely.

This case study reported that a 40-year-old woman with Graves' disease developed severe thrombocytopenia after starting methimazole, suggesting a rare but serious risk of methimazole-induced immune thrombocytopenia and underscoring the need for close monitoring.

In this study, ethanamizuril was found to cause alopecia, biochemical changes, and organ damage at higher doses in rats, with a no-observed-adverse-effect level of 20 mg/kg over 30 days.

This case report describes a woman who developed green hair due to high copper levels in swimming pool water, exacerbated by hair treatments and inadequate water replacement.

This case report illustrates that high-dose biotin supplementation can cause false thyroid function test abnormalities in vitro, emphasizing the need to assess biotin intake before testing.

This review highlights the potential analytic interference of high-dose biotin with immunochemical tests, which may lead to diagnostic errors and suggests pausing biotin consumption before laboratory testing.

In this study, the researchers synthesized copper-doped mesoporous silica nanoparticles and observed that they enhance tumor microenvironment regulation and, when paired with disulfiram, effectively kill cancer cells while also showing synergistic anti-tumor effects with immune checkpoint inhibitors.

This study reports a successful combination treatment for phospho-organic compound poisoning, using standard therapy with atropine and toxogonin along with exogenous cholinesterases via blood transfusion, showing positive outcomes in patients whose endogenous cholinesterase levels dropped to 20%.

This case report describes a man who ingested a large amount of topical minoxidil solution and experienced serious and prolonged cardiovascular effects despite rapidly decreasing serum concentration levels.

This case study highlights that vitamin B12 deficiency can cause reversible hyperpigmentation, illustrated by a vegetarian female patient whose skin lesions improved after treatment.

In this mouse study, severe selenoprotein deficiency in epidermal cells was linked to skin abnormalities, disrupted hair follicle development, and progressive alopecia, highlighting the role of selenoproteins in skin and hair health.

This case report suggests that zinc supplements may be necessary to improve hair loss in hypothyroidism patients being treated with thyroxine.

This article reports on the use of ketoconazole for treating cutaneous leishmaniasis, but includes no new clinical trial findings.

This article discusses the complex biological functions and social significance of hair follicles and reports no new research findings, emphasizing their role in health, disease, and a substantial beauty industry.
