Scalp hair and blood sera of three groups of individuals were studied for mineral contents by flame photometric and colorimetric procedures. Patients in one of the three groups were suffering from lepromatous leprosy, the second group comprised patients with tuberculoid leprosy and the third group consisted of normal controls. The results obtained revealed changes in the mineral content of the scalp hair of those suffering from lepromatous leprosy and tuberculoid leprosy. A possible relationship may exist between hair and serum minerals.

Article Synopsis
- Alopecia areata (AA) is a non-scarring hair loss condition, often seen in children with atopic dermatitis (AD), and its exact cause remains unclear.
- A case study of a child with myasthenia gravis showed severe AA and moderate AD, which improved significantly after a year of treatment with baricitinib and corticosteroid ointment, with a notable drop in severity scores and visible hair regrowth.
- The study highlights the potential of Janus kinase inhibitors in treating pediatric AA and AD, emphasizing the safety and lack of significant adverse effects during the treatment, except for mild folliculitis.
Co-delivery of minoxidil and finasteride via ionic liquid and cyclodextrin-assisted in situ thermosensitive hydrogel for synergistic treatment of androgenic alopecia.

Androgenic alopecia (AGA), the most prevalent type of progressive hair loss, currently lacks an effective topical treatment regimen. In this study, we synthesized an ionic liquid (IL) to co-solubilize minoxidil (MXD) and finasteride (FIN) and subsequently formulated them into an in situ thermosensitive ionic liquid/cyclodextrin/poloxamer hydrogel (ICPG), termed M + F@ICPG. M + F@ICPG was developed for the transdermal co-delivery of these two drugs, aiming to provide a multipath therapeutic approach for AGA while avoiding the adverse effects commonly associated with oral FIN and topical MXD tincture.
