This paper discusses advancements in forensic hair analysis, emphasizing a novel DART–HRMS method that improves the accuracy and efficiency of detecting drug use timelines.

In this study, researchers found that chemotherapy-induced alopecia counseling and resource access are insufficient and influenced by socioeconomic factors such as employment, income, and education, underscoring the need for standardized education and improved resource availability to address disparities.

In this prospective cohort, baseline severity, disease activity, and relapse history were identified as key factors influencing response and recurrence in alopecia areata, suggesting that implementing standardized assessments could enhance risk stratification and personalized care approaches.

In this randomized controlled trial, researchers are assessing the efficacy and safety of acupoint catgut embedding combined with topical 5% minoxidil in treating androgenetic alopecia among 70 men, with primary outcomes focusing on changes in hair count after 24 weeks of treatment.

In this randomized controlled trial involving breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, this study investigated the efficacy of low-level light therapy for preventing hair loss, measuring outcomes like hair count and patient quality of life, but the abstract does not report specific results.

This study investigated different centrifugation systems and found that low-speed protocols and certified centrifuges produced better-quality platelet-rich fibrin and recommended using FDA-approved glass tubes for safe and effective regenerative outcomes.

In this study, the Orbis PAXMAN® scalp cooling system showed effectiveness and good tolerability in preventing chemotherapy-induced hair loss in breast cancer patients, particularly those receiving anthracycline-free chemotherapy, though the presence of comorbidities was linked to a higher risk of severe alopecia.

This study found that while the global incidence of alopecia areata in individuals aged 0–19 declined from 1990-2021, the total number of cases rose, with higher burdens among females, adolescents, and low-SDI populations, particularly in Central Sub-Saharan Africa; disparities suggest a need for targeted interventions.

This study protocol aims to explore the prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome among female pediatric patients with spina bifida, focusing on metabolic and phenotypic differences, but reports no new results yet.

In this study, researchers are constructing a comprehensive data set from 997 adult participants in Japan to develop a statistical model that explores the relationships among various health parameters, aiming to enable personalized and preventive health care interventions based on empirical data.

This abstract describes the approval of a study by the Japan Registry of Clinical Trials and the North South University Institutional Review Board, but it does not report any results or conclusions.

This study investigated the sub-acute toxicity of Eclipta alba extract in Wistar albino rats, finding generally comparable hematological and biochemical parameters to controls, but noted mild morphological liver and kidney changes at the highest dose, highlighting a key area for further safety research.

This study reports that drug repurposing for COVID-19 has had mixed results, with success for some drugs but a lack of clinical efficacy for others, highlighting the need for improved preclinical profiling and a standardized drug development platform for future antiviral treatments.

This study found that applications of a shampoo and mousse containing plant extracts improved coat quality in dogs with a chronic keratinisation disorder without affecting skin hydration or hair lipids over the study period.

This scoping review aims to map existing literature on alopecia associated with multiple sclerosis disease-modifying therapies, exploring types, incidence, and potential mechanisms, while noting that observed cases may be related more to treatment-induced immune changes than the disease itself.

In this study, researchers reported that standardized rosemary and capsicum extracts significantly improved hair growth parameters such as follicle density, length, and diameter in rats with testosterone-induced alopecia, suggesting these extracts may aid in more effective natural treatments for androgenetic alopecia.

This study found that both oral and topical formulations of VISPOTM, a saw palmetto oil, significantly reduced hair fall and increased hair density in subjects with androgenetic alopecia, with no serious adverse effects observed.

In this retrospective case series, therapeutic responses to immunomodulatory and incretin-based therapies for Dercum's disease showed considerable individual variation, suggesting these treatments might be exploratory options when surgery isn't feasible, though further controlled studies are needed for definitive conclusions.

The excimer laser may help hair regrow in alopecia areata patients.

In this study, researchers found distinct gene expression patterns in Standardbred trotters capable of racing barefoot, suggesting a genetic basis for hoof strength and identifying specific genes involved in hoof biology, which could enhance equine performance and wellbeing through targeted genetic research.

The authors concluded that while PRP is a promising and well-tolerated treatment for early to moderate knee osteoarthritis, standardizing preparation protocols, patient selection, and outcome reporting is crucial to enhance comparability and inform clinical practice.

The Exfoliate-Dissolve-Repair skincare approach may effectively treat keratosis pilaris and reduce the need for corticosteroids.

This study is collecting real-world data to evaluate abrocitinib and conventional systemic treatments in moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis across five European registers over a three-year period.

This study suggests that addressing hormonal, stress, and metabolic factors with vitamins, minerals, and botanicals, which has improved hair growth in women, might also benefit men experiencing hair thinning.
