March 2024 in “Indian Journal of Dermatology” In this observational study, researchers found that women with telogen effluvium who had higher baseline ferritin levels or received higher doses and longer durations of iron supplementation reported greater satisfaction, suggesting that iron supplementation can improve patient satisfaction regardless of initial ferritin levels.
March 2024 in “Journal of animal science/Journal of animal science ... and ASAS reference compendium” In this study, supplementing ewes with soy hulls instead of a traditional corn-based supplement showed no impact on gastrointestinal nematode infection levels in hair sheep ewes managed in a pasture-based system, though some differences in packed cell volume at weaning were noted.

August 2022 in “Italian Journal of Animal Science/Italian journal of animal science” This study found that supplementing Angora goats with whole field bean seeds postpartum did not prevent weight and body condition losses but was associated with improved mohair growth and kid weight gain, likely due to better nutrient partitioning towards lactation and hair growth.
August 2022 in “Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology” This review discusses the risk factors, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of dermatoses linked to B-complex vitamin deficiencies, including biotin, but does not address risks from over-supplementation.
August 2018 in “Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology” This study found that while both conventional care and teledermatology showed similar clinical response rates for treating actinic keratosis with imiquimod 5% cream, teledermatology was associated with higher treatment failure and local reaction rates.
January 2014 in “Dermatology Review” This review discusses the potential benefits of folate supplementation to mitigate methotrexate side effects in psoriasis patients and reports no new clinical data, suggesting further randomized controlled trials are needed.
