This article reviews common skin eruptions in chemotherapy patients and discusses how recognizing these patterns can help avoid unnecessary changes to cancer treatment; it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that progesterone pretreatment in rats potentiated the effect of ethanol on mesocortical dopamine levels, suggesting an influence of neuroactive steroids on ethanol's action.

This article reviews comprehensive surveys on the prevalence and impact of skin disease in resource-poor countries, but reports no new clinical results; it highlights challenges such as health literacy and service access.

This review discusses the current understanding of androgen biosynthesis, mechanisms of action, and their roles in human biology, as well as related congenital and acquired disorders, but it reports no new research findings.

This review discusses the pharmacological properties and physiological regulation of neuroactive steroids, focusing on their varied responses to stress and ethanol in rats, mice, and humans, but it reports no new findings.

This study suggests that neurosteroids and compounds acting on GABA(A) receptors, like THIP, may modulate ethanol intake by influencing drinking patterns.

This study found that dutasteride pretreatment reduced certain sedative effects of alcohol and may decrease drinking behavior in adult men, likely by impacting neuroactive steroid levels.

This article investigates whether finasteride influences adult hippocampal neurogenesis related to depression and reports no new clinical findings; the authors suggest further research on its neurosteroid inhibition.

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 review discusses traditional therapies used in the Indian subcontinent, covering practices like Ayurveda and homeopathy, and reports no new clinical results; the authors emphasize the need for rigorous studies.

This study found that inhibiting the enzyme 5α-reductase with finasteride counteracted stress-induced prepulse inhibition deficits in socially isolated rats by altering neuroactive steroid concentrations in the brain.

This review discusses persistent sexual and nonsexual adverse effects of the 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride in younger men, including erectile dysfunction, low libido, and depression. It reports no new clinical results but emphasizes further research is needed.

Finasteride blocks progesterone's effect on absence seizures in rats.

This study suggests that reconstructive methods for burn alopecia should be tailored to the conditions of the scarring, with scalp extension and expansion recommended only for large, poor-quality alopecia due to a high complication rate.

This study found that the gut microbiota composition in patients with post-finasteride syndrome differs significantly from healthy controls, with reduced diversity and specific microbial changes, suggesting a potential diagnostic marker and therapeutic target.

This study found that neonatal finasteride treatment in male rats altered hippocampal GABAA receptor subunit expression and led to increased anxiety-like behavior in response to progesterone in adulthood.

This study found that isoallopregnanolone reduced stress-induced tic-like behaviors and sensorimotor gating deficits in a mouse model of Tourette syndrome, suggesting potential therapeutic properties comparable to existing treatments like haloperidol and finasteride.

Minoxidil can cause severe skin reactions like Stevens-Johnson syndrome in rare cases.

This study suggests that ovarian cycle-related progesterone and neurosteroids regulate α2-subunit expression of GABA-A receptors in the hippocampus through a pathway independent of progesterone receptors, potentially affecting brain conditions linked to the menstrual cycle.

In this study, clozapine reduced suicide-related behaviors in a schizophrenia-like mouse model, but its effects on exploratory behavior were counteracted by the neurosteroid inhibitor finasteride.

Minoxidil can cause deadly skin reaction; monitor patients closely.

This study found that dutasteride treatment in pregnant mares significantly increased progesterone concentrations but did not alter gestational length or neonatal outcomes.

This review summarizes the antioxidant and anticarcinogenic properties of Indian Gooseberry, its phytochemical composition, and its use in traditional Ayurvedic medicine, but reports no new clinical results.

This report discusses two patients with plaque psoriasis who developed hypertrichosis, or excessive hair growth, while undergoing interleukin-17A inhibitor therapy.

In this study, finasteride was found not to be associated with changes in sleep spindle activity or morphology in men undergoing sleep studies.

The case report describes a 27-year-old woman with polycystic ovarian syndrome who experienced successful treatment outcomes from individualized homeopathic care over seven months.

This review discusses the potential health benefits of Allium vegetables, especially their association with reduced cancer risk, but reports no new clinical outcomes.

This review examines the use of natural remedies, including various herbs, for treating polycystic ovary syndrome, but reports no new clinical results.

This article reviews over-the-counter products and active ingredients marketed for hair loss treatment, noting that many lack robust efficacy evidence except for minoxidil, which has temporary effects, and highlights the caution needed when recommending products to pregnant and breastfeeding women.

This study found that a herbal formulation optimized with specific concentrations of plant extracts showed promising antifungal activity against Malassezia furfur.
