This study reports a case of a patient with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders treated with eculizumab who developed fatal sepsis after insulin resistance emerged.

This review explores the diverse biotechnological uses of mushrooms, emphasizing their potential to enhance food, energy, and water security, and their alignment with the UN's sustainable development goals.

This narrative review discusses the discovery of plasticity in epidermal stem cells using single-cell transcriptomics, but reports no new results; it highlights the potential implications for regenerative medicine.

This article reviews the role of vitamin D in regulating immune responses related to autoimmune diseases like alopecia areata, but it presents no new clinical findings.

This study reports an increase in the use of tamsulosin/finasteride for benign prostatic syndrome in Germany but highlights that reliable comparisons with monotherapies are lacking due to study design deficiencies.

This article discusses congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21 hydroxylase deficiency as a cause of ambiguous genitals in 46XX individuals and reports no new research findings.

The Thr1022Ala variant in the hairless gene is not a disease-causing mutation.

This article recounts a series of "hair burning syncope" cases in black girls experiencing seizures during hair grooming with hot irons, without presenting new research findings.

In this study, researchers observed significant variations in the hierarchical structures of domestic cat hairs and whiskers, showing that local mechanical properties are influenced by the distribution and composition of internal granules and calcium enrichment along the hair's length.

In this study, researchers found that the morphology, composition, and elemental enrichment of domestic cat hairs vary significantly along their length, contributing to a functional gradient that affects mechanical properties and challenging assumptions of uniformity in hair structure.

This study documented three cases of acute thallium poisoning—one involving accidental overdose and two linked to intentional homicide—characterized by neurological and systemic symptoms, and in severe instances, death, underscoring thallium compounds' significant toxicity.

In this study, researchers found that parasitic dermatitis in dogs is predominantly caused by ectoparasites like fleas and mites, with flea allergy dermatitis being particularly prevalent, and noted that diagnosis typically relies on laboratory methods, while treatments involve insectoacaricidal drugs and prevention strategies.

This study found that a significant portion of the Beyond-COVID cohort reported persistent symptoms, with Omicron variants showing lower rates and severity of symptoms compared to other variants.

This systematic review suggests that human placental extracts may offer therapeutic benefits for non-communicable diseases such as liver pathologies and metabolic disorders, but larger trials are needed to confirm efficacy and understand molecular pathways.

In this study, researchers found that patients with severe alopecia areata often experience reduced health-related quality of life, with significant levels of anxiety and depression, and these mental health impacts may correlate with the severity of their condition.

This study found that in patients with non-cicatricial alopecia, hair follicles and their sheaths were thinner compared to controls, especially in cases of alopecia areata and telogen effluvium, with notable thinning beginning in the subcutaneous fat tissue.

This study suggests that estimating autism likelihood as early as one month after birth may enable more precise early intervention for children with developmental support needs, potentially improving diagnosis, workflows, and reducing service wait times.

The researchers reported that individuals with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and nutritional deficiency often exhibit iron and estrogen deficiencies, which may contribute to liver cell stress and fibrosis.

Eyebrow and eyelash hair loss in alopecia areata worsens quality of life.

This case study reports that early genetic testing and targeted therapies, such as secukinumab, can significantly improve skin barrier function in patients with Netherton syndrome, despite persistent symptoms.

This study observed that topical application of palmitate or oleate accelerated the onset of the hair growth phase in mice, whereas glycolysis end product lactate delayed it, suggesting metabolic regulation as a promising approach for influencing hair growth.

In this study, aqueous and aqueous-alcoholic extracts of Ajuga reptans showed promising hepatoprotective and wound-healing properties, with significant effects observed in experimental models, suggesting potential for development into official medicinal products pending further research.

In this study, NH Asian alopecia areata patients reported the highest levels of severe disease, with NH White patients having the most eyebrow involvement and Hispanic patients showing the least severity.

In this observational study, researchers examined U.S. and Canadian patients with alopecia areata and found that while comorbid anxiety/depression correlated with increased patient-reported disease severity, other comorbidities like atopic dermatitis and vitiligo showed no statistically significant differences in clinician-reported AA severity or hair involvement.

This study found that generic quality of life questionnaires, like the SF-36 and DLQI, are not sensitive enough to detect differences in health-related quality of life between patients with varying severity of alopecia areata.

This study found that low-dose dutasteride is effective and safe for treating male androgenetic alopecia, showing significant improvement in hair growth and reduction in hair shedding in most patients.

This paper explores how the COVID-19 pandemic has heightened individuals' awareness of their appearance through the "Zoom effect" and discusses the connection between external appearance, social status, and the positive psychological impacts of aesthetic treatments.

This review discusses how skin changes like acanthosis nigricans and psoriasis can indicate metabolic syndrome components such as insulin resistance and dyslipidemia, suggesting a potential role for early diagnosis and treatment in reducing cardiovascular risks associated with the syndrome.

This Delphi study found that moderate-to-severe alopecia areata in Poland, Czechia, Russia, and Türkiye significantly impacts quality of life and highlights an unmet need for more effective treatments.

This study observed low levels of zinc, copper, iron, and selenium in the plasma and hair of Ukrainian adults, suggesting a need for better nutritional interventions; it highlighted higher hair zinc levels in individuals with COVID-19 history potentially due to more frequent zinc supplementation.
