In this review, the authors highlight the occupational risks faced by pregnant urologists, such as radiation and exposure to certain medications, and emphasize the importance of avoiding specific drugs and practicing good hygiene, but note limited data on radiation risk.

This review highlights available treatments for frontal fibrosing alopecia, noting that 5-alpha reductase inhibitors, intralesional steroids, and hydroxychloroquine currently have the most evidence supporting their use, while other treatments show variable results and require further study.

This study reviews the potential of rosemary for hair loss treatment, highlighting its beneficial bioactive compounds that may support healthier scalps and promote hair growth, though inconsistencies in formulations and lack of long-term safety data suggest more research is needed.

This review investigated various herbal remedies for hair loss and found potential benefits in promoting hair growth across several conditions like androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata. However, the authors noted limitations in existing studies and recommended more robust trials to confirm efficacy.

This review compiles existing information on the pathogenesis of androgenetic alopecia, highlighting its genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study reports the case of a 12-year-old girl who developed psoriatic alopecia after increasing her dose of the TNF-α inhibitor adalimumab for Crohn's disease, emphasizing psoriatic alopecia as a phenomenon associated with these medications.

This trial explores whether spironolactone is more effective than cyclines for treating moderate acne in adult women, providing a potential alternative amidst concerns over antibiotic resistance.

In this review, the authors examine the causes, risk factors, and management strategies for chemotherapy-induced hair loss, highlighting its psychological impact and underscoring the role of healthcare providers, especially nurses, in supporting patients through this distressing side effect.

This study found that postmenopausal women in Argentina with frontal fibrosing alopecia had a higher average age of diagnosis than previously reported, with similar clinical features to international cases.

This review discusses the role of DHT in male sexual differentiation and fertility in individuals with 5α-reductase-2 deficiency, reporting no new clinical results.

Women also use 5α-reductase inhibitors, and their effects differ from men.

This study explored the solubility and crystal structure of GI197111X, a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor for androgenetic alopecia, finding its solubility in Capmul MCM suitable for a soft gel dosage form.

The abstract reports no new clinical results; it describes finasteride’s mechanism of action in androgenetic alopecia and mentions unpublished trial results by the manufacturer and investigators.

In this clinical experience, treating frontal fibrosing alopecia with oral finasteride, hydroxychloroquine, tacrolimus, and excimer laser was associated with optimal results in patients with active inflammation.

This article examines anticytokine therapies for autoimmune diseases, highlighting the potential of anti-interferon-γ as a universal treatment for certain conditions and noting varying effectiveness of tumor necrosis factor-α inhibitors.

This study observed that among male patients who experienced telogen effluvium after platelet-rich plasma treatment for androgenic alopecia, there were elevated levels of TNF-α, androgen receptors, and altered 5α-reductase gene expression, suggesting these factors as potential contributors to this unintended outcome.

This study identified a novel mechanism by which dsRNA-induced TLR3 activation and retinoic acid pathways contribute to new hair follicle formation after deep wounds in mice and suggested a similar potential in humans.

This study concludes that the Greek version of the Dysmorphic Concern Questionnaire is a reliable and valid tool for assessing body dysmorphic disorder-related concerns in both research and clinical settings.

This review found that mesenchymal stem cells and their derived exosomes are a potentially safe and well-tolerated treatment for lung healing in patients with COVID-19.

This study established a causal link between plasma metabolism and alopecia areata, providing insights into the disorder's mechanisms and suggesting directions for future screening and prevention strategies.

This research explores the potential of Gel-SHP hydrogels in tissue regeneration, suggesting they could contribute to new methodologies and understanding in wound healing and dermal shell formation, but results are not detailed.

This study found that tamsulosin, finasteride use, and aging are significantly associated with increased risk of intraoperative floppy iris syndrome during cataract surgery, while doxazosin does not appear to pose this risk.

This study developed the Chi-PCOSQ, a culturally adapted Chinese assessment tool for measuring health-related quality of life in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, showing promising reliability and validity.

In this study, subcutaneous recombinant human IL-12 showed a 43% partial response rate in early-stage mycosis fungoides patients refractory to previous treatments, with generally mild to moderate adverse events reported.

This study found that increased metastatic ability in colorectal cancer in a rat model was linked to changes in expression of multiple genes, including TGF-beta, PDGFb, and Rho B.

This study identified key genes related to ischemic stroke through the ferroptosis pathway and highlighted the potential role of specific traditional Chinese medicines in regulating associated biological processes.

This study found that 17-beta-estradiol inhibits hair growth in mice by blocking hair follicles in the telogen phase, whereas an estrogen receptor antagonist promotes hair growth by initiating anagen.

This study found that topical estradiol inhibits hair growth in mice by preventing the hair follicle's transition from resting to growth phase, a process reversible with an estrogen receptor antagonist.

This study found that overexpression of PKCα in mouse epidermis increases expression of specific proinflammatory mediators and induces inflammation but does not significantly affect epidermal differentiation, proliferation, or tumor promotion with TPA.

This review examines medical literature on postfinasteride syndrome and reports no new results; the authors call for more controlled studies on permanent sexual dysfunction and mood changes linked to 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors.
