This letter discusses how outdated measurement technology may obscure evidence of essential fatty acid deficiency in low-fat diet patients, potentially leading to undiagnosed EFA insufficiencies related to heart disease.

In this study, the authors observed that testosterone therapy shortened the QTc interval and normalized T-wave morphology in men with acquired LQTS or TdP linked to hypogonadism, suggesting testosterone may be helpful in treatment.

The authors concluded that Hispanic/Latino ethnicity, facial papules, and premenopausal status in patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia may indicate a susceptibility to more severe disease, potentially necessitating early treatment.

This study reports that nonscarring diffuse hair loss in women is most common in the 21-40 age group, with low serum ferritin, vitamin B12, and vitamin D3 levels contributing to its pathogenesis.

In this study, vitiligo and alopecia areata were more common among patients with chronic graft-vs-host disease than previously reported, linked to higher NIH skin scores and greater immunosuppressive treatment.

This study found that low serum testosterone and elevated serum oestrone in men with cirrhosis are associated with worse liver disease and adverse health outcomes, suggesting oestrone as a potential ill health marker.

This study found that xerosis and pruritus are prevalent in patients with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis, highlighting the importance of early recognition of skin issues to alleviate discomfort and reduce complications.

Finasteride significantly reduced tics and obsessive-compulsive symptoms in patients with Tourette syndrome.

This study cataloged several long non-coding RNAs and microRNAs in cashmere goat dermal papilla cells, suggesting these non-coding RNAs may play a role in hair follicle stem cell activation and hair growth.

This study suggests that any baldness, particularly moderate balding, is associated with a higher risk of fatal prostate cancer in men, supporting a possible link between hair loss and prostate cancer mechanisms.

This review highlights the traditional use and potential therapeutic activities of Asiasari Radix in drug discovery, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study identified a set of tumour-suppressive microRNAs (miRNAs), termed 'normomiRs', that are highly expressed in normal tissues but low in tumors, with miR-206 and miR-381 showing significant in vitro cancer inhibition, highlighting their potential for miRNA-replacement therapies across multiple cancer types.

In this retrospective study, 60.9% of patients with alopecia areata responded to superficial hypothermic cryotherapy, with effectiveness notably higher when the treatment interval was 2 weeks or less, particularly in early disease stages, and minimal side effects were observed.

This study reports that a 14-year-old female rhesus monkey with alopecia universalis was found to have a T-cell-mediated autoimmune disease similar to human alopecia areata universalis.

This study concluded that no evidence of tachyphylaxis was found in the treatment of scalp seborrheic dermatitis and dandruff using pyrithione zinc-based shampoos over a 48-week period.

This study found that adherence to topical hydrocortisone in adults with atopic dermatitis was inconsistent and not significantly different across different medication vehicles, though disease severity improved markedly within 2 weeks.

In this study, the use of two emollients significantly reduced itching severity in individuals with xerotic eczema, starting 30 minutes post-application, and improved skin moisture and lipid content over 14 days, while demonstrating good tolerance with few adverse events.

This study successfully developed a method to measure four flavonoids from Platycladus orientalis leaves in rat plasma, which was used in a pharmacokinetic study on healthy rats.

This review discusses OCD spectrum disorders with dermatological symptoms, emphasizing their clinical features, neurobiology, and treatment options, while noting the need for more controlled studies.

This study found that an 8-week practice of pranic meditation was associated with improved quality of life and mental health scores in breast cancer survivors, though further research is needed for confirmation.

In this study, Korean red ginseng was observed to improve skin hydration and reduce both the severity of atopic dermatitis and serum IgE levels after 16 weeks in patients with the condition.

This study found that follicular unit transplantation using specific techniques may improve the natural appearance of transplanted hair in patients with male-pattern hair loss.

This study analyzes the fine structure and protein distribution in monotreme hairs, finding similarities with other mammals and detailing unique immunocytochemical features in their inner root sheaths.

This review discusses various adverse skin reactions linked to cardiovascular medications and reports no new clinical results, highlighting the need for vigilance when prescribing these drugs.

This review discusses the phytoconstituents and biological properties of T. orientalis and T. occidentalis, but reports no new clinical results.

Finasteride boosts morphine's pain relief, stops tolerance, and reduces withdrawal in rats.

This study found that Centipeda minima extract promotes hair growth by activating Wnt/β-catenin, ERK, and JNK signaling pathways in human hair follicle dermal papilla cells.

This study suggests that the AndroCoV clinical scoring system may be a more sensitive and cost-effective tool for diagnosing COVID-19 compared to RT-PCR-SARS-CoV-2 tests, potentially reducing diagnostic delays and false negatives.

This study presents the first reported case of kerion-type scalp mycosis caused by Aspergillus protuberus, emphasizing the importance of mycological examination when diagnosing unusual scalp infections, especially in children.

In this study, loading niosomes with Oryza sativa bran extract altered their physical properties, suggesting potential for developing formulations aimed at anti-hair loss products.
