This study found that individuals with heterozygous truncation-type variants in the *DSP* gene exhibit lower skin temperature and higher transepidermal water loss, with specific microscopic skin changes and pseudomonilethrix.

This study found that minoxidil and finasteride, commonly used for androgenetic alopecia, were associated with different arrhythmia profiles in adverse event reports: minoxidil predominantly with supraventricular arrhythmias and finasteride primarily with ventricular arrhythmias in men.

This study found that male patients with androgenetic alopecia exhibited signs of increased arrhythmia risk, such as higher P-wave dispersion and lower corrected QT interval on ECG, suggesting potential benefits from closer cardiac monitoring.

In this study, low-dose oral minoxidil for androgenetic alopecia was generally safe, showing small average changes in blood pressure and heart rate with infrequent cardiovascular issues, though monitoring is essential, especially in patients with conditions like hypertension or arrhythmias.

A specific gene variant is linked to heart disease, increased heart muscle, curly hair, and thick skin on palms and soles.

This study found that linc-PINT expression was significantly decreased in patients with atrial fibrillation compared to healthy controls, while several TGF-β signaling genes were increased, suggesting a potential role in heart arrhythmias' pathogenesis.

This case study highlights that maternal autoimmune diseases like Sjogren syndrome may lead to congenital heart block in neonates, necessitating thorough evaluation of maternal medical history when such conditions present postnatally.

This article addresses recent negative publicity around finasteride for hair loss and notes an increase in patients choosing topical alternatives, without presenting new research findings.

This study observed that medical castration for prostate cancer prolongs the QT/QTc intervals, potentially leading to serious arrhythmias like torsade de pointes and ventricular fibrillation, even in patients without prior QT prolongation risk.

This review discusses the cardiovascular risks associated with anabolic-androgenic steroid use and reports that, despite known toxic effects, further research is needed to clarify the causality of these risks.

This article discusses the popularity and issues of fad diet books like "The Beverly Hills Diet," and reports no new research findings on effective or safe weight loss methods.

This study suggests that male sex and androgenic steroid use increase the risk of atrial arrhythmias in individuals with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, especially those with desmosomal gene mutations.

This study found that one year after recovering from COVID-19, females without comorbidities reported long-COVID symptoms more frequently than males and experienced distinct cardiovascular differences, including lower arterial pressures and higher heart rates, despite fewer ECG abnormalities.

This review examines AAS-related deaths and finds that anabolic-androgenic steroid abuse may lead to severe cardiac abnormalities, contributing to fatal arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death in young athletes and bodybuilders.

The Beverly Hills Diet is unhealthy and can cause serious health issues; pharmacists should advise against it and asthmatics should avoid nonprescription antihistamines.

Low-dose oral minoxidil can effectively promote hair growth but requires careful monitoring for safety.

This study found that anabolic steroid use combined with plakoglobin deficiency caused pathological atrial electrical remodeling in young male mice, suggesting a higher risk of atrial myopathy for males with desmosomal gene variants.

This review discusses the associations between dermatological disorders and increased cardiovascular risk, emphasizing that skin conditions with chronic inflammation may elevate the likelihood of cardiovascular diseases.

This study found that combined therapy with cetirizine and topical steroids stabilized inflammation in most patients with lichen planus pilaris, though one patient experienced cardiac arrhythmia.

This article reviews the concept of cardiodermatology and its application in clinical practice but does not present new empirical findings.

This review details phenol's dermatological uses and underscores its potent skin rejuvenation effects but emphasizes the need for caution due to risks of serious complications, including cardiac arrhythmias and organ failure, particularly with improper use or large-area applications.

Some medications and supplements can cause serious side effects, including hair loss, heart rhythm problems, liver injury, and other health issues.

In this study, testosterone was found to increase the risk of arrhythmias in a rat heart model, while finasteride reduced this arrhythmogenic effect.

This study optimized a screening assay to identify molecules that inhibit or enhance TRPM5 ion channel activity, which may have implications for treating dysfunctions linked to cardiac arrhythmias and diabetes.

This case report describes a 36-year-old female patient with panhypopituitarism, experiencing severe adrenal insufficiency and thyroid hormone deficiency, which led to electrolyte imbalance, QT interval prolongation, and ventricular tachycardia; treatment stabilized her condition, underscoring the importance of hormonal evaluation in arrhythmia assessment.

This review discusses the negative effects of anabolic androgenic steroids on various organ systems in men and reports no new results, highlighting the need for physician awareness.

This research highlights the development of cardiac pacing technologies, focusing on resynchronization and conduction system pacing, with clinicians particularly hopeful about direct left bundle branch pacing.

This article reviews the essential role of vitamin D in bone health and its various clinical applications but reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the therapeutic potential of potassium channel openers for various conditions, but notes that their clinical role is not yet fully established.

Some chemicals absorbed through the skin can cause serious health problems.
