This study observed that combination therapy with prednisolone and azathioprine provided similar outcomes to prednisolone alone for treating pemphigus foliaceus in dogs, with over half achieving remission and significant improvement in another 25%.

This review discusses the role of histone deacetylases in hearing loss, proposing potential pharmacological interventions, but reports no new clinical results.

In this case report, high-dose intravenous methylprednisone followed by oral prednisolone improved painful muscle cramps in a young man unresponsive to other treatments, suggesting an autoimmune mechanism may be involved.

Higher doses of glucocorticoids increase the risk of blood clots in asthma patients.

In this study, oral prednisolone pulse therapy led to significant hair regrowth in some patients with extensive alopecia areata, whereas no improvement was seen in the placebo group.

This study found that calcipotriol scalp solution was more effective than a coal tar-based shampoo for treating mild to moderate scalp psoriasis and showed continued efficacy with long-term use.

This study observed that valproic acid treatment led to a significant reduction in aggressive and impulsive behaviors among patients with acquired brain injury, with varying effects based on cognitive impairment degree; the treatment was generally well-tolerated, though some patients experienced temporary side effects.

This study shows that many acne patients use topical steroids despite their association with various skin side effects, such as worsened acne, perioral dermatitis, and telangiectasias.

This study found that low-dose intermittent corticosteroid therapy may be a successful and well-tolerated treatment option for patients with alopecia areata, including those with alopecia totalis and universalis.

This study found that preconditioning human hair follicle-derived stem cells with valproic acid enhanced their survival and migration in ischemic-like conditions by activating autophagy and inhibiting the AKT/mTOR pathway, suggesting this approach could improve stem cell therapies for ischemic stroke.

This open-label study suggests that combining valproate, lamotrigine, and a benzodiazepine can significantly reduce the frequency of epileptic drop attacks in patients with generalized or multifocal epilepsies.

In this study, researchers highlighted that in sarcoidosis, macrophages in granulomas can produce vitamin D, potentially leading to calcium imbalances, where vitamin D supplementation may cause hypercalcemia, necessitating careful laboratory assessment before supplementation.

This study found that the PVP protocol, combining Peptichemio, vincristine, and 6-methylprednisolone, resulted in remission for diffuse non-Hodgkin's lymphomas with moderate side effects.

This case report describes a 5-year-old boy with extensive epidermal nevus who experienced marked improvement using a topical calcipotriol/betamethasone dipropionate combination ointment.

In this study of immature male albino rats on a vitamin B12-deficient diet, vitamin B12 supplementation improved body, hair, and thymus growth more effectively than aureomycin when countering the negative effects of cortisone.

This review discusses valproic acid as a common antiseizure medication associated with alopecia and highlights the need for its inclusion in relevant medical guides, without presenting new clinical findings.

Clofazimine may be effective for treating ashy dermatosis.

In this study, intravenous corticosteroid pulse therapy for rapidly progressive alopecia areata showed that 74.5% of patients achieved a good response in the long-term, and a revised scoring system predicted relapse risk effectively in cases with preceding infectious symptoms.

This study found that low-dose methotrexate significantly reduced the steroid requirement in subjects with corticosteroid-requiring asthma without altering their clinical status or causing significant complications.

This study conducted a large-scale comparison using FAERS data to assess the post-marketing safety profiles of spironolactone, eplerenone, and finerenone, finding unique adverse event patterns for each drug and highlighting the need for personalized safety monitoring and further investigation in other pharmacovigilance databases.

This study investigated a new formula called SV-loaded nanospanlastics for topical application to treat androgenic alopecia. It showed similar effectiveness to minoxidil lotion but with fewer adverse effects when used to enhance dermal delivery and efficacy of sodium valproate.

This study found that adding cyclophosphamide to glucocorticoid treatment for pemphigus patients led to earlier remission, with 89.5% achieving remission within 4 months compared to 73.9% with glucocorticoids alone, suggesting significant steroid-sparing effects and improved clinical outcomes.
