This report describes two cases of thallium poisoning with gastrointestinal symptoms, peripheral neuropathy, and alopecia, which were effectively treated using activated charcoal, potassium chloride, and hemodialysis.

This study examined the pharmacokinetics of finasteride in pigs and found that ketoconazole coadministration affected its distribution across various plasma compartments, bile, and urine.

St John’s Wort can change how finasteride works in the body.

In this study, a 24-year-old patient with severe alopecia areata showed an excellent clinical response to the JAK inhibitor tofacitinib after one month, following unsuccessful previous treatments.

Biotin supplements did not significantly reduce hair loss in rats on valproic acid.

This study found that minoxidil and finasteride, commonly used for androgenetic alopecia, were associated with different arrhythmia profiles in adverse event reports: minoxidil predominantly with supraventricular arrhythmias and finasteride primarily with ventricular arrhythmias in men.

In this study, researchers employed a modified coaxial electrospinning technique to create core-sheath nanofibers, which improved the transdermal delivery of finasteride compared to traditional monolithic nanofibers, showing enhanced penetration rates throughout the testing period.

This article discusses alopecia areata, highlighting its autoimmune nature and the lack of FDA-approved treatments, without providing new research findings.

This Phase II study found that BAY 43-9006, given at 400 mg orally twice daily, led to stable disease in 30% and tumor reduction in 40% of renal cell carcinoma patients.

In this study, the researchers reported that women with diffuse telogen alopecia who took Wolvit® (biotin 5 mg) daily for 3 months showed a significant decrease in hair in the telogen phase and an increase in hair thickness and growth speed.

This study demonstrated that sodium valproate accelerates skin healing and reduces necrosis in a rat model of skin flap potentially through mechanisms involving GABA and histone deacetylase pathways.

This study observed that while valproic acid treatment in children led to occasional mild clinical and laboratory side effects, no correlation with drug plasma levels was found.

In this study, researchers investigated genetic variants in pharmacogenes affecting tadalafil and finasteride pharmacokinetics, finding fed volunteers had higher drug exposure than fasting individuals, but genetic variation did not significantly impact pharmacokinetics after correcting for multiple comparisons.

This study found that elderly patients with acute coronary syndrome had higher PRU rates, and ticagrelor showed greater antiplatelet efficacy compared to clopidogrel in this population.

This study highlights a rare case of vitamin D-dependent rickets type 2A caused by a heterozygous mutation in the vitamin D receptor gene, emphasizing the complexity of managing this condition with high-dose calcium and vitamin D therapy.

A patient with alopecia had hair regrowth with tofacitinib but developed a skin reaction, choosing to continue the treatment despite the side effect.

This case report highlights that repletion of various micronutrients, including thiamine, significantly improved heart failure symptoms and cardiac function in a malnourished patient with vitamin deficiencies.

This review found that fulvestrant is well tolerated in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive advanced breast cancer, showing lower incidence of joint disorders than non-steroidal aromatase inhibitors.

Tofacitinib, an arthritis drug, helped hair growth in alopecia universalis but long-term safety needs more research.

This study found that two-thirds of patients with persistent chronic daily headache showed significant improvement with divalproex sodium treatment, although common side effects included weight gain, tremor, hair loss, and nausea.

This study observed that certain medications, including antipsychotics, non-sedating antidepressants, and finasteride, were associated with a higher risk of inpatient falls among older adults at a Veterans Affairs Medical Center compared to matched controls.

This study found that intra-operative platelet-rich plasma therapy may enhance hair regrowth, increase graft density, and activate dormant follicles more effectively than normal saline in follicular unit extraction hair transplant patients.

This report describes almost complete resolution of calcinosis and healing of associated ulcers in an 83-year-old woman with localized scleroderma after repeated intralesional steroid injections.

This case report describes a male infant born to a mother with systemic lupus erythematosus, presenting with neonatal lupus, who improved with conservative management and whose skin lesions resolved by 6 months of age.

This case report observed that delirium can be the sole symptom of a stroke, as seen in an elderly patient with a thalamic hemorrhage, highlighting the need to consider stroke in the differential diagnosis when delirium is present without focal neurological signs.

This review discusses treatment options for various types of alopecia in children and reports no new clinical results; it analyzes the existing literature on safety and efficacy.

This report describes a case of a 60-year-old woman experiencing inflammatory skin reactions after consuming ginseng and reviews the characteristics of its use in healthcare, although detailed descriptions of such effects are limited.
