This review discusses how neurosteroids acting on GABAA receptors may influence behavior and explores the potential for developing selective modulators for treating psychiatric disorders, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that progesterone and its metabolite, allopregnanolone, provided anti-anxiety and anti-depressive effects in female mice, potentially independent of nuclear progestin receptors but requiring 5α-reduction and estradiol's influence on brain-derived neurotrophic factor.

This case report describes significant improvements in both trichotillomania and bulimia symptoms with N-acetylcysteine treatment, suggesting a potential shared pathophysiological mechanism between the disorders.

This review discusses the potential role of steroid 5α-reductase inhibitors in treating neuropsychiatric disorders related to dopaminergic hyperreactivity but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, adult male rats exhibited significant anxiety-like behaviors following finasteride withdrawal, including pronounced hyperactivity and novelty avoidance, highlighting potential parallels with post-finasteride syndrome observed in clinical settings.

This study identified compounds like hexadecanoic acid, alphaspinasterol, and squalene in Cucurbita pepo roots, which may offer new pharmacological approaches for developing therapies for various conditions.

This review examines current and potential approaches to managing chronic wound inflammation through macrophage-targeted strategies using ECM-inspired wound dressings, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study observed that overexpressing TSPO in the hippocampal dentate gyrus of mice led to significant anxiolytic and antidepressant-like effects, potentially mediated by increased allopregnanolone synthesis.

In this study, researchers developed an enhanced rodent model of trigeminal neuralgia, demonstrating that structural and functional changes in the anterior cingulate cortex are linked to chronic pain and emotional disturbances, and chemogenetic inhibition of specific neurons could alleviate symptoms.

This study found that spironolactone reduced androgenic hormones in hirsute women but had only marginal effects on hair growth, making it no more advisable than other therapies.

This review discusses the assessment and management of common causes of pediatric alopecia, highlighting the importance of dermatologist referral for unclear diagnoses, treatment failures, or scarring alopecia, and reports no new clinical findings.

This case report describes a 46-year-old Italian woman with congenital adrenal hyperplasia who experienced significant improvements in physical and psychological health after receiving a delayed diagnosis and subsequent treatment.

This paper introduces a framework attributing Post-SSRI, Post-Finasteride, Post-Retinoid, and an unnamed sexual dysfunction syndrome to downregulated estrogen receptor activity, potentially guiding future treatments in sexual medicine.

This chapter discusses a case of sebaceous adenitis in a Japanese Akita, providing educational material for students and practitioners but reports no new research findings.

This article reviews trichotillomania, highlighting its differences from OCD and recommending treatments like habit reversal therapy and specific medications, but reports no new clinical results.

This study examined children with trichotillomania using a set of specific questions to better understand the condition and aid clinicians who may be unfamiliar with it.

This review discusses experimental data, technologies, and genetic factors related to stem cell niches, highlighting their role in tissue regeneration and diseases, but reports no new results.

This document outlines recommendations from an international panel on testosterone therapy for aging men with late-onset hypogonadism, emphasizing the need for careful assessment and monitoring due to limited long-term safety data.

The authors concluded that dermal white adipose tissue, influenced by factors like light irradiation, plays a significant role in modulating hair follicle cycles and could be targeted for hair growth treatments.

This review discusses follicular and scarring disorders in skin of color and highlights the need for patient education and tailored therapeutic strategies, but does not report new clinical findings.

This study found that lifestyle factors like stress, poor diet, and dehydration significantly affect hair health, with genetic factors also playing a role; despite a preference for natural products, many consumers still use chemical treatments, and innovative therapies are gaining interest.

This review discusses the characteristics, potential genetic components, and treatment options for trichotillomania, a psychiatric condition that involves compulsive hair pulling, without reporting new clinical results.

This chapter reviews the role of self in disorders related to the OCD spectrum, such as hoarding disorder, body dysmorphic disorder, and trichotillomania, and reports no new findings.

This study found that scalp basal cell carcinomas do not appear to behave more aggressively than other types, despite suggestions in the literature.

This study evaluated a menthol-based microemulsion for transdermal delivery of finasteride and silodosin, finding that it enhanced skin permeation and flux compared to aqueous solutions, suggesting a promising method for managing benign prostatic hyperplasia.

This review discusses treatment options for trichotillomania, focusing on cognitive-behavioral interventions and promising developments in combined pharmacotherapy and therapy approaches, but reports no new findings.

This study suggests that behavior modification, semistarvation ketogenic regimens, and surgical therapy could be experimental approaches for different degrees of obesity, with their efficacy varying by the degree of weight excess.

This study observed that electro-acupuncture reduced global DNA methylation and DNMT3b expression in a PCOS-like rat model, suggesting a role of hypothalamic DNA methylation in PCOS development and treatment.

This study found that isolated red light may serve as an alternative for photo-immunotherapy without additional photosensitizers, as it did not reduce keratinocyte differentiation markers or increase photo-oxidative damage, unlike treatment with IL-4 or UVA1/blue light.

This chapter discusses the skin stem cell niche as a complex ecosystem and highlights the diverse components and interactions that influence stem cell function, but it reports no new experimental results.
