This review discusses the potential impact of COVID-19 on the male reproductive system and highlights unanswered questions regarding its mechanisms and implications for men's health and fertility, reporting no new clinical results.

This study found that PCOS women with COVID-19 had lower ACE2 levels and higher insulin resistance, suggesting increased cardiovascular risk.

This review reports that resveratrol could benefit the management of chronic illnesses such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, but challenges with bioavailability and regulatory issues persist.

This review observes higher ACE2 expression in myocardial and lung tissues of heart failure and COPD patients but finds no link between RAAS inhibitors and COVID-19 severity.

This review highlights that while dexamethasone may reduce mortality in severe COVID-19, no other drugs have proven effectiveness for treatment, emphasizing the need for clinical trials of existing medications.

This review highlights how social, environmental, and biological factors combine to increase COVID-19 risks in the African American community, emphasizing the need to understand these complex disparities; it reports no new results.

This review discusses sex and gender differences in COVID-19 presentation, treatment, and outcomes, and reports no new clinical findings.

In this prospective cohort study conducted in Iraq, 15.2% of children with confirmed COVID-19 experienced persistent symptoms beyond 12 weeks; common symptoms included fatigue and hair fall, with children aged 11-16 at greater risk.

This study found that while male COVID-19 patients in Brazil exhibited more severe symptoms and required more intensive care than females, the difference in risk of death was relatively small.

Plant-based treatments may help reduce BPH symptoms, but more research is needed.

This study found that skin microbiota, particularly in wild-type mice, promotes wound-induced hair follicle neogenesis and wound healing, highlighting the potential downsides of routine antibiotic use on skin regeneration.

The researchers reported that noncoding double-stranded RNA promotes wound-induced hair neogenesis in mice by modulating prostaglandin and Wnt levels.

This study reports that dynamic interactions between stem cells and their niche, influenced by macro-environmental factors, regulate regenerative behavior in integument pattern formation.

This study describes the case of a Filipino woman with virilisation, where a rare ovarian Leydig cell tumour was identified and removed, normalizing her testosterone levels.

This chapter discusses stem cell activity in feather and hair follicles, emphasizing how stem cells maintain their population by cycling between quiescence and activation in specialized niches but reports no new results.

This compilation on contact and occupational dermatology in the Asia-Pacific region discusses various allergens and irritants without reporting new clinical findings.

This study found that although mature neutrophils and NETs are stimulated by a pro-regenerative cue, their presence actually hinders wound-induced hair follicle regeneration.

This study found that skin bacteria contribute to regeneration in wound healing and WIHN by promoting IL-1β signaling, challenging the view that sterility is always beneficial for healing small wounds.

This study in Senegal reported that among women with hyperandrogenism, the primary diagnosis was polycystic ovarian syndrome, with symptoms including hirsutism, menstrual disorders, and acne.

This study found that 'smart' peptide hydrogels improved wound healing in a rat model of partial thickness burns, achieving greater wound closure and faster debridement compared to a standard treatment.

In this study conducted at a tertiary hospital, researchers found that female pattern hair loss was the most common cause of alopecia in adult female patients, followed by traction alopecia and alopecia areata, with traction alopecia notably common among Indian patients.

This study found that an intermittent low-dose regimen of finasteride (2.5 mg every 3 days) effectively reduced hirsutism scores in women with idiopathic hirsutism or polycystic ovary syndrome, with fewer side effects than continuous daily administration.

In this study, subcutaneous injection of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in burned rats significantly improved wound healing by reducing inflammation, scar formation, and wound size, and restoring normal skin structures.

This review discusses the niches supporting adult stem cells in various organisms, including well-studied germline niches and the less understood mammalian niches, but it reports no new research findings.

In this study, cutaneous lupus erythematosus was associated with significantly impaired quality of life, particularly affecting emotional well-being, compared to other dermatologic and chronic medical conditions.

This review highlights the mixed roles of testosterone in COVID-19, noting both potential benefits through anti-inflammatory effects and risks due to increased virus entry, with low testosterone linked to increased severity.

In this study, Salvia plebeia extract promoted hair growth by enhancing proliferation and anti-apoptotic effects in human dermal papilla cells and increased hair growth in treated mice.

This article discusses the role of sex hormones in COVID-19 fatality differences between sexes and reports no new clinical results, suggesting that future strategies should consider sex-specific approaches.

In a randomized study, men treated with dutasteride for androgenetic alopecia experienced sexual adverse events at twice the rate of those on placebo during 24 weeks, but these events were mild, moderate, and resolved after treatment.

This systematic review found that antiandrogens do not appear to protect against SARS-CoV-2 infection or reduce COVID-19 severity, suggesting their use is not advisable for COVID-19 treatment.
