This study assessed the potential for Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion power in Fiji, finding higher power output and efficiency during summer due to greater temperature differences between surface and deep sea waters.

In this pilot study on treating dorsal wrist ganglion, PRP injection showed limited effectiveness at 1-year follow-up compared to aspiration alone, with most PRP-treated patients experiencing ganglion recurrence, suggesting that an RCT would need at least 46 patients per group to further assess PRP's utility.

This review discusses recent advances in understanding the pathophysiology and molecular mechanisms of androgenetic alopecia in males, females, and children, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that Ift20 is essential for hair follicle stem cell identity and hair regrowth, and it regulates keratinocyte migration during wound healing through focal adhesion integrin recycling, independently of ciliogenesis.

This review discusses the adverse effects on hair associated with targeted cancer therapies and reports no new clinical results; it emphasizes the need for comprehensive documentation of these effects.

The woman's skin and hair symptoms were confirmed as frontal fibrosing alopecia, and while facial papules are common in such cases, there's no effective local treatment, but systemic treatments can help.

This review discusses the pathogenesis and clinical features of androgenetic alopecia, highlighting potential links to fibrosing alopecia and suggesting the need for combined therapeutic approaches; it reports no new clinical results.

This article discusses the DOAJ, a comprehensive index of international open access journals, and emphasizes its role in providing free quality content online without presenting new research findings.

Diuretics help the body get rid of excess salt and water by acting on the kidneys in different ways.

This investigation found that certain supplements, particularly whey protein isolate, growth hormones, and anabolic steroids, can negatively impact hair loss by affecting biochemical pathways.

Hair loss in postmenopausal women due to ovarian hyperthecosis is rare, but removing the ovaries can significantly improve the condition.

In this retrospective analysis, patients with trichodynia who were unresponsive to standard treatments showed significant symptom improvement after receiving intradermal botulinum toxin type A, with nearly all patients benefiting, particularly those with scarring alopecia.

This narrative review analyzed the literature on premature hair graying, identifying potential contributors such as nutrient deficiencies, oxidative and emotional stress, smoking, genetic factors, autoimmune diseases, and medication side effects, but reported no effective treatment to reverse it, underscoring the necessity for further research.

This review examined three studies on dermaroller monotherapy for hair loss, finding inconsistent efficacy and diverse methods, with risks of follicular damage and infection noted; standardized protocols are urgently needed for safe practice.

This case study reports a 26-year-old male with secondary syphilitic alopecia misdiagnosed as alopecia areata, likely contracted through non-penetrative sexual contact. Effective treatment with intramuscular benzathine penicillin G led to complete hair regrowth within three months.

This review highlights the various causes and treatment options for alopecia, noting that while non-scarring types often see successful hair regrowth, scarring forms require early intervention to manage inflammatory destruction of hair follicles.

This study provides a framework for understanding different types of alopecias based on immune privilege collapse at specific follicular sites, revealing distinct patterns in immune effector programs and stromal influences depending on the alopecia type.

This study found that frontal fibrosing alopecia had higher long-term remission rates compared to lichen planopilaris, highlighting differences in their clinical presentations and outcomes.

This study reported that trichoscopy can identify specific hair shaft abnormalities linked to increased serological activity, highlighting its use as a valuable non-invasive diagnostic tool in pediatric dermatology for neonates with ECS.

This case report highlights that alopecia areata can mimic syphilitic alopecia in patients with recent or active syphilis, emphasizing the importance of trichoscopy in accurately diagnosing alopecia types and preventing misdiagnosis.

This review discusses strategies to identify, prevent, and manage complications in FUE and reports no new clinical results.

This study reported that diffuse lichen planopilaris significantly impairs quality of life in Moroccan patients, with trichodynia and hair quality changes most affecting daily functioning and leisure activities.

This study assessed Palestinian women newly diagnosed with breast cancer and found that higher spiritual well-being is associated with improved body image and sexual functioning, and reduced distress from treatment side effects, suggesting spiritual support should be integrated into cancer care.

This study found that targeting both hormonal and immune pathways improved treatment outcomes in androgenetic alopecia patients with an under-recognized inflammatory component called PIILIF, which may contribute to treatment resistance.

This study documented that dermatophytosis was highly prevalent in Basra's cats, particularly affecting males and cats under nine months, with lesions most frequent on ears, face, and abdomen.

In this study, cicatricial alopecias were classified by inflammatory cell type and the researchers highlighted that primary cicatricial alopecia's exact causes remain unknown, accounting for 6% of all hair diseases despite its unclear prevalence.

This case report highlights that scarring alopecia with features of dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa and lichen planopilaris can occur in patients with a COL7A1 mutation, emphasizing the need to recognize concurrent inflammatory causes.

This review integrates studies on mouse models and human clinical observations to highlight the role of immune cells in skin development and how their dysregulation leads to skin disorders, suggesting potential therapeutic pathways for skin regeneration.

This study observed that spiritual well-being significantly correlates with quality of life aspects in newly diagnosed Palestinian women with breast cancer, where factors like inner peace and faith predicted better body image and reduced distress from hair loss.

This review discusses different types of alopecia associated with psoriasis and highlights that hair loss in psoriasis is typically non-scarring and reversible, while also noting the increased risk of alopecia areata in these patients.
