This review suggests that GABAergic neuroactive steroids modulated by alcohol could play a role in vulnerability to alcohol use disorders, providing a rationale for further therapeutic exploration.

In this study, 65% of men with persistent sexual side effects after stopping finasteride reported a reduction in alcohol consumption, echoing findings in rodent models.

This study identified associations between alopecia areata and posttraumatic stress disorder, obesity, and alcohol use, reinforcing the need for psychiatric and alcohol use screening in these patients.

In this study, researchers found that skin diseases like atopic dermatitis, acne, and psoriasis are associated with increased odds of alcohol use disorder, with psychiatric conditions such as anxiety and depression partially mediating this relationship, accounting for up to 80% of the risk.

This review highlights that synthetic biodegradable polymers like PVA, PCL, PLA, PLGA, PU, and PEO/PEG can address the limitations of natural polymers in wound healing, offering improved mechanical properties and slower degradation, thereby enhancing their application as wound dressings.

In this study, acetone was not superior to other degreasers for enhancing the efficacy of trichloroacetic acid peels, and its higher flammability suggests using alternative degreasers to reduce workplace hazards.

This study developed an emulsion formulation with optimal properties for androgenetic alopecia treatment using saw palmetto and Japanese Sophora extracts, evaluated for stability and release of active ingredients.

This study observed significant differences in the skin microbiome between hidradenitis suppurativa patients and healthy individuals, notably with decreased β-diversity and a distinct abundance of certain bacteria in affected skin.

This study found that men with depression, erectile dysfunction, and marijuana usage were more likely to be treated for lower urinary tract symptoms, while alcohol use was not significantly associated.

Created microspheres show potential for safe and effective use in prostate artery embolization.

In this study, marijuana use and depression were associated with a higher likelihood of being treated for lower urinary tract symptoms in men over 45 in a marijuana-legalized region.

Poly(ethylene-co-vinyl alcohol) monoliths can be made using heat separation for various uses.

In this study, poly (ɛ-caprolactone)–chitosan–poly (vinyl alcohol) nanofibrous scaffolds used on canine skin wound models were found to significantly accelerate healing rates of excision and burn wounds, without inducing immunogenic reactions.

In this study, socially defeated mice showed increased alcohol consumption, and CRF-R1 antagonism selectively reduced drinking in these mice, suggesting a potential treatment target for stress-related alcohol use disorders.

This presentation explored recent developments in treating alcohol, opioid, and cannabis addiction, highlighting promising pharmacological and behavioral therapies, such as extended-release naltrexone for alcohol use and long-acting buprenorphine for opioids, alongside emerging strategies for cannabis use disorder.

This study examined the use of emulsifiers and preservatives in soft emulsion-type drugs, suggesting that biogenic surfactants could be promising alternatives to synthetic agents that often cause side effects.

This study found that poly(ethylene-co-vinyl alcohol) membranes support the self-assembly of dermal papilla cells into compact spheroidal microtissues capable of inducing new hair follicles, suggesting potential for large-scale production for hair follicle regeneration.

This case report describes the topical application of cyclosporine in a man with alopecia universalis, which showed hair regrowth after 10 months of daily use, except where limited by a congenital nevus.

This study optimized the reaction conditions for the stereoselective hydrogenation of a compound used in manufacturing finasteride and dutasteride, improving the selectivity for the desired isomer.

In this study, conducted at the Jordan Clinic in Tehran, smokers and alcohol users who underwent hair transplantation had significantly worse outcomes, such as lower hair density and growth, compared to non-smokers and non-drinkers, highlighting the negative impact of these lifestyle factors on treatment efficacy.

In this study, Alhanshali and co-authors reported that low-dose oral minoxidil, used for treating androgenetic alopecia, may worsen hangover symptoms in some male patients, potentially due to interactions with alcohol that affect blood pressure and metabolic processes.

This study found that the alcohol extract of Vernonia anthelmintica may counteract stress-induced hair follicle growth inhibition in mice, potentially offering a new approach for treating stress-related hair loss.

This review highlights that several clinical and epidemiological studies link a diet high in terpenoid compounds with a decreased risk of prostate cancer, supporting the potential use of terpenoids as therapeutic ingredients in treating this disease.

This study found that a chitosan-based hydrogel containing silver nanoparticles and ibuprofen demonstrated strong antibacterial activity and accelerated wound healing in vivo, suggesting its potential use in wound dressings.

GABRA2 gene variations impact alcohol response, and hair loss medication finasteride reduces some effects.

This study suggests that altering levels of the neurosteroid allopregnanolone during neonatal stages in rats may impact alcohol consumption and dopamine release in adulthood, indicating potential effects on alcohol reward properties.

In this study, a new pH-responsive hydrogel composed of polyvinyl alcohol and boric acid was found to release salvianolic acid B effectively, reducing excessive scar formation and enhancing tissue regeneration during early-stage wound healing.

This study found that, although finasteride reduced dihydrotestosterone levels in males with heavy episodic drinking, it did not significantly alter brain activation or craving but was linked to a stronger desire not to drink.

This study found no abstract is available, but it addresses potential interactions between oral minoxidil and alcohol, specifically the exacerbation of hangover symptoms.

This study developed a metal-free method for synthesizing sulfinimidate esters, showcasing their potential as versatile intermediates for enantioselective bond formation under mild conditions.
