This case study reports a rare instance of ectopic ACTH secretion from a primary lung neuroendocrine tumor in a young woman, highlighting successful diagnosis and treatment following symptoms of Cushing syndrome, with normalization of ACTH, glucose, and cortisol levels post-surgery.

This review discusses the challenges and contradictions in understanding nanoparticle penetration and toxicity in human skin, emphasizing the need for standardized testing and further research on particles smaller than 10 nm.

In this study using zebrafish, four bisbenzylisoquinoline derivatives were found to protect hair cells from aminoglycoside-induced damage without reducing antibiotic efficacy, potentially leading to therapies for patients undergoing such treatments.

This report presents the Taiwanese Dermatological Association's 2016 consensus on defining and managing skin toxicities from EGFR-TKI treatments, providing comprehensive guidelines for clinicians in Taiwan.

This study identified a series of novel β-glucuronidase inhibitors that may help mitigate adverse effects of first-line anti-cancer drugs by targeting gut bacteria, based on virtual high-throughput screening findings.

This study found that treating paracoccidioidomycosis-infected mice with a nanoparticle formulation of itraconazole led to higher drug accumulation in lung, liver, and spleen tissues, improved treatment efficacy, and reduced side effects compared to traditional oral solutions.

This study found that a chemotherapy regimen combining CMFVP and ACP treatments for unresectable metastatic breast cancer yielded a 66.7% overall response rate, with premenopausal women responding more favorably than postmenopausal women.

In this study, the genotoxic effects of the 2020 harmful algal bloom event were linked to specific toxic algal groups affecting Tradescantia plants, making Trad-SHM and Trad-MN tests suitable for evaluating HABs' toxic potential.

This study concluded that vitamins and protein tablets were more effective for reducing hair fall than shampoos and other medications, while herbal oils were preferable to chemical-based hair fall solutions.

In this reported case, a 50-year-old man developed an acneiform rash, a common skin side effect of EGFR inhibitor therapy, after starting lapatinib for breast cancer; treatment with doxycycline and hydrocortisone cream led to significant improvement within one week.

This case report highlights an unusual instance of azathioprine potentially triggering rapid alopecia areata and bone marrow suppression in a patient with chronic spontaneous urticaria, with improvement seen after stopping the drug.

This report presents a rare case where a patient with chronic urticaria developed alopecia areata during azathioprine therapy, accompanied by bone marrow suppression; these effects resolved after stopping the medication, suggesting a possible link between azathioprine and autoimmune activation despite its intended immunosuppressive use.

This study highlights that the evidence linking valproic acid to specific genetic variants is limited, unlike other antiseizure medications such as carbamazepine and phenytoin.

This study provides ex vivo proof-of-principle that low-intensity ultrasound may protect human hair follicles from paclitaxel-induced damage, potentially reducing chemotherapy-related alopecia.

This review discusses the potential impact of COVID-19 on the male reproductive system and highlights unanswered questions regarding its mechanisms and implications for men's health and fertility, reporting no new clinical results.

This study found that Xiaochuang Drink significantly reduced the sebaceous gland and hair follicle diameter in a rabbit ear acne model and was determined to be safe at clinical doses.

This study demonstrates that a new Adaptive Modulation and Coding method can improve control performance in Communication-Based Train Control systems using WLAN by reducing average delay through effective transmission mode selection.

This study found that long-term weekly administration of docetaxel is feasible at doses up to 45 mg/m² per week with acceptable toxicity, and suggests further evaluation with 40 mg/m² for phase II studies.

In this study, the alcoholic extract of Eclipta alba demonstrated significant anticancer activity in vitro by inducing apoptosis in breast cancer cell lines and showed strong antioxidant properties.

This review surveys the chemical composition and various uses of jojoba oil in medicine and industry but presents no new clinical results.

In this review, Ziziphus lotus was reported to have multiple traditional uses and demonstrated various pharmacological properties in lab and animal studies, with over 181 identified bioactive compounds; however, clinical trials are needed to confirm its efficacy as a medicinal agent.

This study found that elevated epidermal ODC activity in transgenic mice promotes skin tumor development by recruiting bulge stem cells, rather than through reactive oxygen species generation by polyamine catabolic oxidases.

This article summarizes the essential roles and effects of deficiencies of both fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins, noting issues ranging from blindness due to vitamin A deficiency to scurvy caused by a lack of vitamin C.

Low-intensity ultrasound may help protect hair follicles from chemotherapy-induced hair loss.

In this study, QR 678 and QR 678 Neo formulations containing growth factors and peptides were found to be safe in vitro and promoted hair growth in vivo in an animal model, suggesting their potential as treatments for alopecia, including secondary alopecia post-chemotherapy.

This study found that dogs with idiopathic epilepsy had altered hair concentrations of several trace elements, which may suggest a role in the disease's pathophysiology and indicate effects from antiseizure medications.

This article discusses the symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of thallium poisoning, with no new clinical results reported; the authors emphasize the importance of early suspicion for effective intervention.

This review consolidates evidence on 93 plant species used in Zimbabwe for treating 21 skin-related conditions, reporting antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, though safety data remains inconsistent.
