This review analyzed clinical trial protocols for platelet-rich plasma preparation in hair loss treatment, finding inconsistent and insufficient reporting that complicates comparison and efficacy determination.

This study found that among middle-aged Korean women, those with metabolic syndrome had a higher risk of androgenetic alopecia, while no significant association was observed in men.

St. John's Wort can cause dangerous high blood pressure if taken with certain foods.

Toxic shock syndrome is caused by a complex interaction of bacterial toxins and the immune system, and understanding this can help improve diagnosis and treatment.

This study suggests that in SZ95 sebocytes, a pathway for DHT biosynthesis does not require testosterone as an intermediate, potentially impacting the treatment of androgen-sensitive skin conditions.

People with hair loss have higher risk of high blood sugar and diabetes, and lower levels of a specific hormone.

In this study, cyclosporin effectively controlled cases of granulomatous folliculitis, furunculosis, sebaceous adenitis in cats, and alopecia areata in a dog, positioning it as a promising alternative to glucocorticoids in veterinary dermatology.

This study found that increased dihydrotestosterone levels were observed in both androgenetic alopecia patients and controls, suggesting that follicle sensitivity to DHT may be more critical than DHT levels for alopecia development.

This study found that alkaloids isolated from Eclipta alba leaves showed increasing antimicrobial activity with higher concentrations, particularly against S. aureus and E. coli, suggesting potential for developing antimicrobial agents.

This study found that xylanase and pectinase enzymes clean wool and specialty hair fibers as effectively as soap, without causing physical damage, whereas resinase was not effective.

This article reviews the triggers, diagnosis, and management of telogen effluvium in men and women, emphasizing the role of patient education and reassurance, but presents no new clinical findings.

This report describes a case of meningioma in a transwoman treated long-term with estradiol and cyproterone acetate, suggesting possible concern over female sex steroids and meningioma risk.

This article discusses bridging anticoagulation for patients interrupting warfarin for surgery and highlights the need for the BRIDGE randomized trial to address current uncertainties about its effectiveness and safety.

This article reviews potential factors influencing Behçet's disease, like increased neutrophil functions, immunological changes, stress, and hormonal alterations, but it presents no new clinical results.

This review discusses how the brain can influence skin biology, suggesting a link between psychological factors and skin health, but it reports no new scientific findings.

This study found that subchronic finasteride treatment in male rats altered neuroactive steroid levels and steroid receptor expression in the brain, with some changes persisting after drug withdrawal.

This study identified several herbs, including Ganoderma lucidum and Urtica dioica, that showed promising 5α-reductase inhibitory activity suggesting potential use in managing androgenic disorders.

This review discusses the role of stem cells in alopecia pathogenesis, highlighting the differences between scarring and nonscarring types, and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that in Japanese male patients with androgenetic alopecia, dutasteride 0.5 mg daily over 52 weeks was associated with improvements in hair growth and appearance, with reported adverse events mostly mild.

Different factors help diagnose and treat hair loss accurately.

In this study, scalp skin from stumptailed macaques demonstrated minoxidil sulfotransferase activity primarily in hair follicles, which may explain minoxidil's hair growth stimulation in this model.

This review examines the impact of spontaneous premature ovarian insufficiency on women's sexual function and highlights the need for a comprehensive, biopsychosocial approach to management, but presents no new clinical results.

This article states that hormone therapy with estrogens and antiandrogens for transgender females is within an obstetrician-gynecologist's practice scope and involves careful dosing and monitoring to manage short-term thrombotic risks.

This report presents the second known case of erythema nodosum without typical associated conditions, which could be linked to mycoplasma infection, although no testing was conducted to confirm this in the patient.

In this study, nine individuals who underwent rigorous weight loss programs experienced significant hair loss, which researchers attributed to insufficient energy supply to the hair matrix, with regrowth occurring within months.

This review discusses the potential applications of prostaglandin F2α analogs for certain types of alopecia and hypopigmentation, but reports no new experimental results.

This study found that Er–YAG laser treatment significantly enhanced skin absorption and follicular delivery of antialopecia drugs, suggesting a potential laser-assisted approach to treat alopecia.

The authors concluded that some patients clinically diagnosed with telogen effluvium may actually have alopecia areata incognita, suggested by the presence of dystrophic hairs and development of alopecia patches.
