This review concluded that for women, the benefits of testosterone implants are outweighed by risks, with possible higher rates of irreversible adverse effects than previously reported.

In this pilot study, researchers found that betulin did not conclusively inhibit hair loss or promote regrowth in patients with hypothyroidism when compared to placebo.

This study concluded that among patients with polycystic ovary syndrome at their clinic, the most common phenotype was group A, with lifestyle modification and oral contraceptives being frequently used treatments.

This study observed that pantethine, a vitamin B5 precursor, attenuates tumor growth in immunocompetent mice by enhancing antitumor immunity, but its effect is limited by immune cell exhaustion over time.

This article discusses the potential benefits of decade-wise Rasayana therapy in enhancing female reproductive health by addressing various life stages, from pre-menarche to post-menopause, and draws from traditional and contemporary sources to conceptualize its importance.

This study found that women with PCOS had significantly higher levels of the pro-inflammatory chemokine MIP-1α compared to controls, suggesting an association with low-grade chronic inflammation, though the increase in MIP-1β levels did not reach statistical significance.

In this study, researchers found that 24.7% of female medical students were diagnosed with PCOS, significantly affecting their academic success and social interactions due to symptoms like BMI abnormalities and acne, suggesting that educators should enhance support and awareness to address these challenges.

This study found that DNA damage in obese women was linked to serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and hair chromium levels, with higher serum vitamin D associated with less damage and higher chromium with more damage.

This study used a 3D simulation to show that human hair provides varying levels of UV protection depending on head orientation and hair alignment, highlighting hair's role in scalp UV protection, especially for those with alopecia.

This review examines the relationship between facial hair trends and the increase in beard transplant surgeries, exploring psychological reasons for the rising demand without presenting new clinical findings.

This study found that young women with PCOS exhibited altered white matter microstructure and reduced cognitive performance compared to matched controls.

This study suggests that fish oil, specifically its components EPA and DHA, play a beneficial role in promoting skin health by supporting epidermal growth and reducing proinflammatory cytokines.

In this narrative review, the authors highlighted that AI-supported electronic health record analysis could help recognize Polycystic Ovary Syndrome/Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome earlier, but also warned that these systems might perpetuate historical biases if not properly validated and interpreted.

This case report documents the first use of bimekizumab as monotherapy for dissecting cellulitis of the scalp, where a 27-year-old man experienced significant symptom relief without adverse effects after failing standard treatments.
