In this consensus statement, the Task Force of the Association of Cutaneous Surgeons of India found that over 90% of their experts agreed on the evidence strength, recommendation levels, and safety of six emerging dermatology treatments, providing guidelines for their clinical use.

This study found that epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors can induce erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp, typically appearing sooner and affecting the scalp more extensively compared to other triggers.

This study found that folic acid-conjugated magnetic nanoparticles loaded with doxorubicin significantly reduced cell proliferation in HeLa cells, although they were not effective against doxorubicin-resistant HeLa cells.

This systematic review evaluated 60 studies on trichoscopy in hair and scalp disorders, revealing gaps in accounting for variables like disease stage or hair texture, and underscoring a need for more comprehensive analyses to fully understand trichoscopic patterns.

This review discusses the safety of testosterone therapy for postmenopausal women and concludes that, aside from hirsutism and acne, it appears safe at physiological doses for several years, though more long-term studies are needed.

In this study, liver transaminase levels and various symptoms persisted in some adult dengue patients even two months after diagnosis.

This study suggests that hormonal changes may contribute to the persistent symptoms of long COVID, with specific patterns observed in serum hormone levels related to fatigue and sensory dysfunction.

This study identified specific profiles and courses of adverse events associated with boron neutron capture therapy for head and neck cancer, suggesting differences based on the beam incidence site.

This study used transgenic mice to show that disrupting TGF-β signaling in K14+ progenitor cells led to increased stem cell proliferation in the tongue.

This review discusses the developmental plasticity between teeth and taste buds in cichlid fishes and reports no new experimental findings, highlighting potential implications for craniofacial organ patterning and regeneration.

In this clinical study, melatonin treatment reduced oxidative stress markers and enhanced hair growth in patients with alopecia areata, potentially through its effects on the immune system and antioxidant activity.

This study observed that patients with new-onset mild alopecia areata had significantly higher levels of oxidative stress markers compared to healthy controls, suggesting their antioxidant defenses may be insufficient to balance the elevated oxidant levels.

In this study, isotretinoin, an effective treatment for severe acne, was found to significantly impact hematological, inflammatory, and oxidative stress biomarkers, suggesting potential risks alongside its therapeutic benefits.

In this study, researchers found that patients with new-onset mild alopecia areata had higher levels of oxidative stress markers and reduced antioxidant levels compared to healthy individuals, suggesting that oxidative stress might play a role in the condition.

This study found that both oxidant and antioxidant levels were elevated in acne patients, suggesting that oxidative stress may be linked to acne pathogenesis but its causal role remains unclear.

In a mouse study, JAK inhibitors like Jakafi and Xeljanz prevented alopecia areata and aided hair regrowth; similar effects were observed in three patients with the condition.

This chapter reviews the biosynthesis, mechanism of action, and therapeutic effects of testosterone and related androgens, but reports no new research findings.

This study found that approximately 75% of women with PCOS exhibited hyperandrogenemia, with free testosterone being the most frequently elevated marker.

Testosterone therapy aims to treat hormone deficiencies and various conditions safely and effectively, but requires careful patient monitoring due to potential side effects.

This study found that healthcare workers with a positive SARS-CoV-2 nasopharyngeal swab were most likely to report long-COVID symptoms, while seropositive workers without a positive swab had milder symptoms.

This systematic review found very weak evidence supporting the use of minoxidil as an adjunctive treatment for traction alopecia, with improvements noted from 3 months onwards, primarily based on limited case reports and retrospective case series.

This thesis presents a review and cross-sectional studies on the prevalence of specific scalp disorders among Africans, examining potential links with hairstyles and proposing a new severity scoring system for traction alopecia.

This study introduced a novel framework that significantly improves the accuracy of alopecia areata lesion segmentation in semi-supervised scenarios, outperforming existing methods and aiding in the disease's diagnosis, treatment, and staging, which can impact quality of life and mental well-being.

This article reviews the use of biologics like platelet-rich plasma and mesenchymal stem cells in plastic surgery but highlights a lack of standardization in reporting platelet concentrations, which limits the systematic evaluation of their efficacy and application.

This review explores animal models of alopecia areata, particularly focusing on the insights they've provided into the disease's immune mechanisms and potential treatment approaches, without reporting new experimental data.

This study reported that about one-third of post-COVID-19 patients experienced long-term symptoms, with women, older individuals, smokers, and those with specific blood groups at higher risk for complications.

This study found that low-dose radioactive iodine therapy for hyperthyroidism and thyroid cancer produced short-term adverse effects like loss of taste, xerostomia, and hair loss, which were self-limiting.

This study reported that 57% of healthcare workers experienced persistent post-COVID-19 complications, with common symptoms including hair loss, easy fatigability, mood swings, and anxiety.

This article discusses varied presentations of COVID-19, emphasizing that healthcare professionals should consider less typical symptoms, such as telogen effluvium, anosmia, and COVID toes, in patient assessments.

Losartan can cause temporary loss of taste.
