research Infertility Treatment in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Lifestyle Interventions, Medications, and Surgery
Lifestyle changes are the first step in treating infertility in PCOS, followed by medications like clomiphene and metformin, and then surgery if needed.
research Gynecologic and Andrologic Dermatology and the Metabolic Syndrome
Skin diseases linked to insulin resistance should be managed to prevent diabetes and reduce heart disease risk.
research Targets to Treat Androgen Excess in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
The conclusion is that while oral contraceptive pills are effective for PCOS-related high androgen levels, new treatments with fewer side effects are needed.
research A Comprehensive Approach in Diagnosing Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
The document concludes that diagnosing PCOS requires a thorough approach, considering various symptoms and risks, and calls for improved methods to identify PCOS types and prevent diabetes.
research Evaluating Statistics in Clinical Trials: Making the Unintelligible Intelligible
Doctors need to understand statistics to properly evaluate clinical trials for patient care.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
research Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia: Follow-Up of a Brazilian Group
Frontal fibrosing alopecia mostly affects postmenopausal women, with diagnosis often delayed by 3 years.
research Genetics and Pathophysiology of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
The document concludes that patient outcomes for Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia are often not ideal because of poor management and a need for better diagnosis and treatment methods.
research Metabolic Aspects of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Women with PCOS often have insulin resistance, abnormal lipid levels, and a higher risk of diabetes and heart disease; lifestyle changes and medication like metformin can help manage these risks.
research Evidence-Based and Potential Benefits of Metformin in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Comprehensive Review
Metformin helps with menstrual cycles and insulin levels in PCOS but is less effective for hair growth, diabetes prevention, and weight loss, and may improve fertility and reduce diabetes risk.
research Prostate Cancer Prevention
Prostate cancer prevention includes diet changes, supplements, and medications, with more answers expected soon.
research Contemporary Hair Transplantation

Greek women with PCOS have a higher risk of metabolic syndrome and are more likely to be overweight compared to healthy controls.
research Prostaglandin D2-Mediated DP2 and AKT Signal Regulate the Activation of Androgen Receptors in Human Dermal Papilla Cells
PGD2 increases androgen receptor activity in hair cells, which could be targeted to treat hair loss.
research Major Improvement in Wound Healing Through Pharmacologic Mobilization of Stem Cells in Severely Diabetic Rats
A new therapy sped up wound healing and reduced scarring in diabetic rats.
research Screening of Synthetic and Natural Product Databases: Identification of Novel Androgens and Antiandrogens
Researchers found new potential treatments for conditions related to the androgen receptor, like male hormonal contraception, by testing thousands of compounds.
research Physiology and Medical Treatments for Alopecia
Minoxidil, finasteride, and low-level laser light therapy are effective FDA-approved treatments for hair loss.
research Development of a Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry-Based Inhibition Assay for Screening Steroid 5-Alpha Reductase in Human and Fish Cell Lines
A new method was created to test the effectiveness of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) inhibitors, like finasteride and dutasteride, in human and fish cells. The results showed fish cells are more sensitive to these treatments, and dutasteride works better than finasteride in all tested cells.
research Fibrosing Alopecia in a Pattern Distribution
FAPD and possibly CCCA may be AGA subtypes, and treatments combining antiandrogens, hair growth agents, hair transplants, and anti-inflammatories could be effective.
research Understanding Type 3 Innate Lymphoid Cells and Crosstalk with the Microbiota: A Skin Connection
