This study at Luigi Sacco University Hospital identified three key macro symptoms of long COVID—neurological, sensorial, and physical—and found that their development is associated with comorbidities, medications during acute COVID-19, and demographic factors like age and gender.

This study assessed the effectiveness of the EQ-5D in measuring health-related quality of life for alopecia areata patients and found it may not accurately capture the burden of the condition, particularly its psychosocial impact, compared to other more condition-specific measures.

This study found that trichoscopy aided in assessing treatment responses for patchy alopecia areata, with both intralesional corticosteroids and platelet-rich plasma showing effectiveness, but only PRP significantly improved patient symptom impact scores.

This study found that alopecia areata significantly impacts patients' quality of life irrespective of hair loss severity, and concluded that the newer assessment tools AAPPO and AASIS better capture this impact compared to the traditional SALT measure.

This study found that patients with AA who have more severe symptoms may have a higher risk of metabolic syndrome and arterial stiffness, suggesting a need for cardiometabolic disease screening.

This study identified three symptom trajectory groups in individuals with PMDD, highlighting variations in symptom severity and duration across the luteal and follicular phases.
