This review explores melatonin's role in hair follicle cycles and its molecular mechanisms that enhance antioxidant capacity and modulate gene expression, offering potential strategies to improve cashmere production and treating human alopecia, according to the authors.

This study reviewed Ayurvedic texts and concepts related to hair loss, known as Indralupta, its pathogenesis involving vitiated doshas and blood, and Ayurvedic treatment approaches, highlighting its differentiation from khalitya, where hair loss is more gradual.

In this study, multimedia education significantly improved the knowledge and practices of women with polycystic ovarian syndrome, particularly in managing symptoms like menstrual irregularity and oligomenorrhea, as observed in a sample from the Sohag University Hospital clinic in Egypt.

This study reports a case where treatment with the TNF alpha inhibitor infliximab successfully resolved refractory alopecia universalis in a 41-year-old woman.

This study found that alopecia areata patients in Central Europe with comorbid chronic inflammatory disorders, especially atopic dermatitis, bronchial asthma, or Hashimoto's thyroiditis, had an increased likelihood of experiencing early-onset, severe, or prolonged disease compared to those without such comorbidities.

The systematic review reports an association between Beau’s lines and COVID-19 infection or vaccination, observing variability in onset and resolution times, and suggesting these nail disorders might indicate previous severe infection or vaccination, as well as potentially signify long COVID-19 syndrome.

This review discusses Barrett's esophagus, its risk factors, diagnostic methods, and treatment options, emphasizing its potential for malignant degeneration and the importance of personalized treatment based on patient factors.

In this study, a possible case of Wolf’s isotopic response was observed, where a 72-year-old woman developed superficial basal cell carcinoma at a prior herpes zoster site on her scalp, possibly due to altered local immunity from the zoster episode.

This study found that 1′S-1′-acetoxychavicol acetate from Alpinia galanga inhibits Nox isozymes and suppresses testosterone-induced hair loss in a mouse model of androgenetic alopecia.

During LIFEHOUSE, researchers documented distinct patterns of physical exam findings and biomarker abnormalities in 369 adult employees, which may aid clinicians in recognizing wellness challenges and preventing chronic diseases associated with aging.

This review examines the gender-specific challenges in preventing and treating venous thromboembolism in women and highlights the need for further research on safe and optimal treatment strategies.
