This study found that significant hair loss in about one-third of patients after vertical gastroplasty was reversed by zinc supplementation.

This review evaluates and classifies the non-saponin components of Korean Red Ginseng, emphasizing their combined role with saponins in the plant's bioactivity, but reports no new clinical results.

This review found that patients with alopecia areata may have lower levels of vitamin D, zinc, and folate, but conflicting evidence precludes definitive clinical recommendations for micronutrient supplementation.

This study found that the subtilisin protease Sub3 from Microsporum canis is essential for adherence to the feline epidermis but is not necessary for invading epidermal structures.

This review highlights the chemical components and various potential health effects of Daucus carota but reports no new experimental results.

This review critiques the unwarranted promotion of biotin for hair and nail improvements, noting the lack of evidence for routine use and highlighting concerning trends in consumer and physician practices.

This review examines the main absorption sites and influencing factors for orally administered drugs, highlighting variables such as solubility and gastrointestinal conditions that affect drug absorption in the small intestine and the development of effective drug delivery systems.

This review discusses the nutrient profile and potential health benefits of pumpkin and watermelon seeds, concluding they are underutilized and could be developed into various nutraceuticals.

Malnutrition severely harms growth and development in young baboons.

This study reported an increase in tinea capitis in Stockholm children, mainly caused by Trichophyton violaceum and associated with immigration from Africa and family spread.

This review discusses the oral manifestations associated with hematologic conditions and nutritional deficiencies, without presenting new research results; it emphasizes the impact of blood disorders and vitamin deficiencies on oral health.

This review explores lifestyle modifications for women with polycystic ovary syndrome, discussing dietary, physical, and supplementation strategies, but reports no new clinical results.

This report highlights two cases where patchy alopecia developed after mesotherapy for androgenetic alopecia, indicating potential risks associated with this treatment.

This review discusses pharmacologic treatment options for muscle-related pain conditions and notes that there is strong evidence for the efficacy of tricyclic antidepressants and muscle relaxants in specific myofascial pain syndromes, but not universally.

This study found that male germ-free rats fed semisynthetic diets do not grow as rapidly as their conventional counterparts and require dietary biotin for normal metabolism and folic acid biosynthesis.

This study found that oral administration of l-cystine with vitamin B6 effectively prevents environmental cigarette smoke-induced alopecia in mice by reducing hair bulb cell apoptosis.

This review examines complementary and alternative medicine for alopecia and finds limited support from robust clinical trials, highlighting the need for standardized studies to evaluate efficacy and safety.

This article discusses the application and considerations of bariatric surgery for adolescents with severe obesity, highlighting the need for specialized programs but reporting no new clinical results.

This study found that inadequate maternal pyridoxine during pregnancy led to lower body weight, slow physical development, and impaired neuromotor development in rat pups, with the severity increasing as pyridoxine levels decreased.

This study found that hypaphorine alters cytoskeletal organization in Eucalyptus globulus root hairs, contributing to reduced root hair elongation by possibly disrupting vesicle delivery needed for growth.

This review discusses medication-induced gray hair repigmentation, highlighting that certain anti-inflammatory drugs and melanogenesis stimulators can cause diffuse repigmentation, though evidence remains low-quality and these medications are not currently indicated for this purpose.

This study found that cutaneous pyridoxal 5'-phosphate hydrolase activity may be carried out by an enzyme different from the classical tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase in human and mouse skin.

This study found that a bacterial endophyte from Zea nicaraguensis effectively targets and colonizes plant root hair cells, promoting growth and solubilizing insoluble phosphorus for nutrient uptake.

This review discusses various potential adverse effects of common oral vitamin and mineral supplements used in dermatology and highlights lesser-known issues like hematologic and neurologic effects from zinc.
