CONCLUSION: There is an intestinal-skin axis regulation pattern in the pathological process of AGA, and the aging of intestinal tissues and the alteration of bacterial flora and related metabolites can affect hair follicle aging and inflammation.
Chronic nonhealing wounds are complex complications of diabetes and are characterized by impaired vascular networks and persistent inflammation, making them challenging to treat. Studies have demonstrated that hair follicles possess tissue regenerative potential; however, their role in diabetic wounds remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the impact of blood glucose levels on hair follicle activity and compare the effects of hair follicle transplantation under hyperglycemic and…
CONCLUSION: AI chatbots show strong potential for use in online hair transplantation consultations, providing accurate, empathetic, and easily understandable responses. Nevertheless, challenges such as privacy concerns, ethical considerations, and potential biases need to be addressed before their adoption in clinical practice.
Purpose: The aim of this study is to compare the effects of Core Foot System muscle training vs. traditional rehabilitation methods in female patients after a hallux valgus correction surgery. Methods: The project will involve 60 women who have undergone a Scarf osteotomy to correct the deformity. Participants will be divided into a control and experimental group. The experimental group will follow the Core Foot System protocol, whereas the control group will perform standard lower-limb…
While hallux valgus (HV) surgeries are useful for correcting skeletal alignment problems, their effects on plantar load, which reflects forefoot functions, are less understood. The objective of this study is to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis on the plantar load change after HV surgeries. A systematic search of Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, CENTRAL, EMBASE, and CINAHL was performed. Studies that assessed the pre- and post-operative plantar pressure of HV patients undergoing…
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is currently used to correct hallux valgus deformities. Most studies reporting on MIS techniques to correct hallux valgus deformities included patients with postoperative complications. These reported complications, with an average rate of 23%, had significant negative effects on the clinical outcomes in this patient population. In the present study, a cohort of 63 women who underwent MIS hallux valgus correction was assessed preoperatively and at a mean…
