    TLDR Oxygenated micro/nanobubbles speed up burn wound healing in rats.
    The study "A Quantitative Assessment of Wound Healing With Oxygenated Micro/Nanobubbles in a Preclinical Burn Model" demonstrated that treatment with oxygenated micro/nanobubbles (MNB(O2)) significantly accelerated burn wound healing in a rat model (n=6). Key findings included enhanced re-epithelialization, increased collagen deposition, improved collagen organization, and reduced inflammation in the treated wounds compared to controls. Histological analysis showed that MNB(O2) treated wounds reached the remodeling phase by day 28, unlike the control group. Despite limitations such as small sample size, the results suggest that MNB(O2) could be a promising therapeutic approach for improving burn wound healing and warrant further studies.

      A 26-year-old has seen hair improvement after 18 months on finasteride, with no side effects, and is considering switching to dutasteride despite difficulty obtaining a prescription. They also use dermastamping and are hesitant to try minoxidil, preferring to explore dutasteride first.
