The study reported a 7.80% prevalence of scarring alopecia in Chinese SLE patients and identified several risk factors, including mucocutaneous lesions and high disease activity, while renal and cardio-respiratory involvements were negatively associated with it.

This study found that 7.80% of Chinese patients with systemic lupus erythematosus experienced scarring alopecia, with certain disease characteristics and treatments influencing its prevalence.

This study reported that 7.80% of systemic lupus erythematosus patients experienced scarring alopecia, with mucocutaneous lesions and certain autoantibodies identified as risk factors, and some organ involvements and immunosuppressants as protective factors.

This review reports that transgender patients undergoing hormone therapy may experience acne differently, necessitating tailored treatments that take into account skin dryness and the potential need for maintenance topical treatments.

The study found that patients over 70 with advanced ovarian cancer may have better overall and progression-free survival with weekly paclitaxel-carboplatin chemotherapy compared to a three-weekly regimen, despite increased blood-related toxicities.

This study found that for patients with moderate-to-severe chronic hand eczema, combining fractional CO2 laser with halometasone cream was more effective than using halometasone cream alone, with a higher treatment success rate and fewer relapses, though skin pigmentation was a common side effect.

This study found that a hair serum containing Acanthus ebracteatus extract improved hair regrowth in men with androgenic alopecia, increasing hair count and density of anagen hairs over a 6-month period, with combination treatments showing early effectiveness.

In this randomized study, patients with early favorable Hodgkin lymphoma showed similar complete remission and survival rates whether receiving 2 or 4 cycles of ABVD and 20 Gy or 30 Gy IFRT, though reduced toxicity was associated with fewer cycles and lower radiation doses.

This study found an increase in criminal and accidental thallium (Tl+) poisonings globally, particularly in Ukraine, partly due to online availability, underscoring the need for better control and diagnosis to prevent severe outcomes and potential misuse during ongoing conflicts.

This observational study provides cause-specific mortality estimates to help patients and physicians better understand long-term outcomes for localized prostate cancer based on initial treatment choices.

This study found that using a bicomponent reduction system with TGA and DTDG for hair straightening limited hair damage by forming only thiol groups, while a TGA-only system formed more damaging mixed disulfide groups.

This study found that a sucrose-based crosslinker can effectively straighten hair and maintain durability in high humidity and through repeated washings without affecting the hair's tensile properties or causing surface damage.

This small study reports that a 6-group geometric classification method is more reliable for classifying human hair curl, although a digital system could further reduce errors.
