This review discusses transdermal drug delivery using hydrogel-forming microneedles and highlights their potential and challenges for clinical application, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This study developed a gas-propelled microneedle patch with puerarin/quercetin nanoparticles, which demonstrated improved hair-regenerating effects in an androgenetic alopecia mouse model by increasing drug delivery, alleviating oxidative stress, promoting angiogenesis, and rejuvenating senescent cells.

This study found that concurrent chemotherapy with radiotherapy may increase the risk of grade 2 persistent radiation-induced alopecia, while topical minoxidil showed potential benefits, though more research is needed on its efficacy.

This study documented the onset of lichen planopilaris during treatment with etanercept.

This study supports the traditional use of T. procumbens for diabetes treatment, showing improvements in body weight and glucose tolerance with no toxicity signs in normal rats.

Deep Brain Stimulation helps manage Parkinson's symptoms when medication isn't enough.

This case report describes a 34-year-old woman with pituitary stalk interruption syndrome, highlighting the need for long-term follow-up due to potential progression from isolated hormonal deficiencies to pan-hypopituitarism.

This study demonstrated that a new topical treatment using ketotifen-loaded microneedles, designed for prolonged release, significantly reduced inflammatory markers in an animal model of allergic conjunctivitis, suggesting enhanced therapeutic delivery and sustained ocular benefits.

This study from ISTAP emphasizes the importance of preventing skin tears, particularly in vulnerable populations like older adults and neonates, and recommends strategies such as using silicone-based adhesives, emollient therapy, and maintaining a safe environment to reduce the risk of these injuries.

In this randomized study, BAY 1158061, a prolactin receptor antibody, was found to be safe, well-tolerated, and exhibited low immunogenicity in healthy postmenopausal women, but had no effect on serum prolactin levels compared to placebo.

This study found that using particle-based antigen delivery in combination with cyanoacrylate skin surface stripping is an effective needle-free method for targeting HIV-1 p24 protein to skin cells, enhancing transcutaneous vaccination potential.

Larger positively charged gelatin nanoparticles are more effective for delivering treatments to hair follicles.

This study found that inhaling toluene reduces core temperature in mice, with GABA receptors and neurosteroids involved at 4000 ppm, but different mechanisms contributing at 6000 ppm.

In this study, researchers found that p75 neurotrophin receptor signaling affects apoptosis during hair follicle regression in mice, and altering its activity might help manage disorders involving early catagen entry.

This study observed that 46% of gastroparesis patients reported hair loss, which was associated with more severe gastroparesis symptoms and weight loss, and multivitamin treatment improved hair loss in 40% of these patients.

In this study, 18F-FDG PET/CT revealed increased FDG uptake in the scalp of a woman after platelet-rich plasma therapy, indicating potential inflammatory changes.

This review discusses hormone replacement therapy for women with premature ovarian insufficiency, strongly recommending it for symptom relief and bone protection, but notes a lack of evidence on optimal types and doses.

This presentation reviews the role and implementation of journal clubs in physical medicine and rehabilitation but reports no new research findings.

This study found that sequential treatment with platelet-rich plasma injection followed by mesotherapy may promote hair growth in various alopecia cases, showing clinical improvement in hair count and thickness.

This study found that ALRN-6924, a clinical-stage dual inhibitor, can selectively protect human scalp hair follicles from paclitaxel-induced toxicity and damage by inducing transient cell cycle arrest in healthy cells without affecting cancer cells, potentially reducing chemotherapy-induced alopecia.

This review discusses auxin's role in regulating plant growth through TOR activation and translation reinitiation but reports no new experimental findings.

In his letter, the author reports that regular corticosteroid and corticotropin therapy was associated with hair growth and the return of pigment in patients with alopecia totalis.

This review discusses the causes and diagnosis of traction alopecia, emphasizing education for high-risk populations as there is currently no cure, and presents no new clinical findings.

In this study, researchers tested a tea leaf ethanol extract (Camellia sinensis) hair tonic and found it increased average hair growth compared to positive and negative controls over 28 days, but exhibited some instability and inhomogeneity after accelerated testing.

This study reviews recent advancements in microneedles made from PLGA, highlighting their use in delivering vaccines, drugs, and proteins through the skin with minimal invasiveness, and discusses the challenges and future potential of these delivery systems.

This case study highlights the need for individualized assessment and discussion for athletes with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura due to the lack of definitive guidelines on safe participation in contact sports, noting a low bleeding risk when platelet counts are above 50,000.

The researchers reported a case of a 51-year-old woman with primary hypothyroidism who developed anaphylaxis to intravenous levothyroxine after being unresponsive to oral formulations, highlighting potential allergic reactions to IV treatments in such patients.
