TLDR There are various tools available to help psoriasis patients manage their condition, but their effectiveness is unclear and they face issues like lack of financial support.

In 2019, a qualitative study was conducted to understand the availability of therapeutic patient education (TPE) and self-management support (SMS) tools for psoriasis patients. The study involved 8 interviews with healthcare professionals from various countries. The study found that despite the availability of effective treatments, there was a need to address psychosocial issues. The TPE/SMS tools varied in accessibility, delivery modes, and target populations, but all were multidisciplinary. The aims of these tools also varied, with some aiming to induce behavioral change and others serving as information or training platforms. Major facilitators included 'in-house support' from hospitals, while a significant barrier was the lack of financial support. However, the efficacy of these tools remained uncertain, highlighting the need for further study.

A study that outlines the full model for androgenic alopecia (AGA) which links DHT to cellular senescence in dermal papilla cells, and suggests black chokeberry as a source of cyanidin 3-O-arabinoside polyphenol with potential anti-oxidant properties that could reverse this process. The post encourages reaching out to experts in anti-aging and longevity to research treatments involving the polyphenol.

community "When comparing 5% minoxidil with 0.60 mm or 1.20 mm needle lengths, Faghihi et al. found that 0.60 mm needle lengths led to significant hair count and diameter increases versus 5% minoxidil, whereas 1.20 mm needle lengths only saw hair count increases versus 5% minoxidil"

in Research/Science 60 upvotes 5 months ago

Microneedling with 0.6 mm needles combined with 5% minoxidil is more effective for hair count and thickness than minoxidil alone or with 1.2 mm needles. Biweekly microneedling at 0.6 mm depth is recommended for better results in treating androgenetic alopecia.
