Topical metformin may improve hair regrowth in CCCA when added to standard treatments.

This study found that long-term use of difluprednate ophthalmic emulsion in dogs can lead to HPA axis suppression and potentially cause iatrogenic hyperadrenocorticism, with localized alopecia suspected due to dermal absorption.

This report of four pediatric alopecia cases highlights the varied patterns and treatments, noting that differentiating alopecia from trichotillomania is crucial due to their different management approaches.

This study found that hucMSC-EXOs delivered via intratympanic injection effectively target vestibular sensory tissues, significantly reducing gentamicin-induced balance issues and high-frequency hearing loss, with some measured outcomes surpassing those achieved with dexamethasone.

This case report describes the use of CO2 laser surgery to treat chronic pododermatitis and pseudopads in an 8-year-old obese dog, resulting in complete healing within four weeks after previous treatments provided only temporary relief.

This article reviews the epidemiology of desmoplastic melanoma and reports no new clinical findings, emphasizing higher risks in chronically sun-exposed older males.

This review discusses the shift in toxicity profiles of cancer therapies from traditional chemotherapy to targeted agents, noting similar overall toxicities but with different side effects, and reports no new findings.

In this study, researchers found a significant positive association between cortisol levels in hair and feces of domestic cats and dogs, suggesting hair cortisol assays could be a viable option for monitoring chronic stress.

This source reports that while creatine supplementation is popular for improving muscle mass and performance, questions about its efficacy and safety persist. An expert team is reviewing literature to address concerns like water retention, renal effects, and its benefits across different populations and uses.

The new compounds may be more effective and cheaper than current treatments for conditions like baldness.

In this study, pioglitazone treatment in insulin-resistant PCOS patients decreased relative 5alpha-reductase activity without significantly affecting cortisol levels or urinary cortisol excretion.

This study found that intralesional steroid treatment led to significantly more hair regrowth in alopecia areata patients than narrow band ultraviolet B therapy, while their combination did not enhance effectiveness.

This study found an association between higher phthalate exposure and increased incidence of precocious puberty in girls, suggesting a need to reduce children's exposure to these endocrine disruptors.

This study found that azathioprine pulse therapy and betamethasone both effectively managed alopecia areata with similar hair regrowth results, though betamethasone had significantly more side effects, suggesting azathioprine as a preferable alternative to corticosteroids.

This review discusses the clinical and pathologic features of follicular contact dermatitis, highlighting neomycin as a potential cause, and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that Asparagus racemosus root extract significantly reduced facial sebum production and pore size in male volunteers, suggesting potential application as an anti-sebum ingredient in cosmetics.

In this study, PRP injections showed comparable effectiveness to triamcinolone for alopecia areata, with a significant decrease in SALT score at one interval, and 12.5% of patients in the PRP group experienced excellent hair regrowth compared to none in the triamcinolone group.

This study found that extracts from the rice variety Bue Bang 3 CMU, particularly the husk and bran, demonstrated antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-androgenic properties, suggesting potential use in treating androgenetic alopecia.

In this case report, a novel missense mutation c.1360G>C (p.Ala454Pro) in the MBTPS2 gene was identified in a boy with typical IFAP syndrome and severe atopic features, although no phenotype/genotype correlation was established.
