This study found that the normalized androgen ratio (NAR) could help evaluate androgen activity in women with acne vulgaris, hirsutism, and androgenetic alopecia, showing elevated NAR in some patients.

This review discusses the degenerative effects of anabolic-androgenic steroids on the nervous system and reports no new experimental results, aiming to increase public awareness of their health risks.

In this study, the authors reported that the laparoscopic single anastomosis sleeve ileal (SASI) bypass was associated with effective weight loss and improvement in obesity-related comorbidities within 6 months post-surgery.

In this review, researchers examined the concentration of cortisol in scalp hair of individuals with alopecia areata to explore its relationship with disease variables, as cortisol in hair can indicate chronic stress, which may impact alopecia areata pathogenesis.

This study observed that onion plants in Gilgit had faster growth and larger bulb sizes compared to those in Hunza, Gilgit-Baltistan.

This study developed a new method using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry to measure multiple steroid hormones in hair, requiring significantly fewer strands than previous methods, with high accuracy and precision.

This study developed two comprehensive patient-reported outcome measures for systemic lupus erythematosus to assess symptom fluctuations and impacts, following FDA guidelines, which may aid in clinical studies and practice.

This study found that the clinical severity of hidradenitis suppurativa, evaluated through Hurley staging, VAS, PGA, and SAHS, significantly affects patients' work absenteeism and presenteeism, with presenteeism being more prevalent.

This study found that the addition of SPACE peptide significantly enhanced the penetration of amniotic membrane stem cell metabolites in mice, with only very mild irritation observed.

This study found that in Hidradenitis Suppurativa patients, the psychosocial subscale of Skindex-17 is most relevant for assessing quality of life across different severity levels, with irritation and pain becoming more pertinent as severity progresses.

Psoriasis patients experience moderate functional impairment related to disease severity and less satisfaction.

Some JAK inhibitors are effective for significant hair regrowth in alopecia areata.

This study found that both 2.5 mg/mL and 5 mg/mL concentrations of intralesional triamcinolone acetonide are effective for treating patchy alopecia areata, but the higher concentration promoted greater hair regrowth and density with more side effects.

This study found that patients with alopecia areata atopica and other skin conditions had lower hair magnesium levels compared to healthy controls, although the differences largely overlapped.

This study found an imbalance in autonomic nervous system activity in patients with androgenetic alopecia, with increased sympathetic activity and decreased parasympathetic activity compared to a control group.

This clinical report details the case of a 22-year-old man experiencing severe pustular eruptions on his chest and back, which improved after increasing minocycline to 100 mg twice daily.

This study found that androgenetic alopecia in asymptomatic young men was associated with increased arterial stiffness, as measured by the cardio-ankle vascular index.

This review summarizes the ethno-medicinal uses, phytochemical constituents, and biological activities of Acorus calamus, highlighting its potential therapeutic benefits and the importance of further scientific work on this plant.

The Brazilian version of the Alopecia Areata Quality of Life Index is reliable for assessing patients' quality of life.

This case study details the successful treatment of macrophage activation syndrome with dexamethasone and cyclosporine in a 36-year-old woman with adult-onset Still's disease, highlighting the critical importance of timely aggressive treatment.

This article discusses the potential benefits of GcMAF and oral MAF, developed by "Saisei Mirai", for cancer and other conditions, but reports no new clinical results.

This study developed a standardized questionnaire to measure patient-perceived changes in hair growth and appearance, which showed significant favoring of active treatment over placebo in a clinical trial for male androgenetic alopecia.

This study found that azathioprine pulse therapy and betamethasone both effectively managed alopecia areata with similar hair regrowth results, though betamethasone had significantly more side effects, suggesting azathioprine as a preferable alternative to corticosteroids.

In this study, researchers successfully scaled a plant-based shampoo formulation for dry and damaged hair from laboratory to industrial production, maintaining its physicochemical properties and microbiological safety throughout, highlighting the formulation's scalability and the importance of quality control in cosmetic manufacturing.

This review examines the long-term health risks of anabolic-androgenic steroid abuse in athletes, reporting various physical and psychological side effects without sufficient benefits.

In this study on mice, a baricitinib-loaded microneedle patch enhanced hair growth in alopecia areata lesions (68% vs control: 33%, p < 0.05), suggesting it may deliver treatment effectively and pain-free, with fewer systemic side effects.

This study found that dermoscopy can be a useful tool for diagnosing androgenetic alopecia, particularly in determining hair diameter diversity as an essential feature in Asian populations.

This study found that a hair growth rate of 0.75 cm/month better matches retrospective cortisol timelines and identified factors influencing hair cortisol content in children and adolescents.

In this 10-patient exploratory study, the researchers found that topical application of 4-aminopyridine 5% combined with microneedling did not improve hair density or quality in men with androgenetic alopecia, suggesting limited efficacy in this context despite promising results in animal wound models.

This study developed a low-viscosity triamcinolone acetonide serum, used with a derma stamp microneedling device, to improve targeted treatment of alopecia areata, reporting favorable drug solubility, spreadability, and permeation to hair follicles, while maintaining skin safety.
