In this study, researchers reported that both progestin-only injectable contraceptives, DMPA-IM and NET-EN, significantly decreased serum testosterone and SHBG levels among HIV-negative women in South Africa, yet this did not explain prior findings of no reduction in risky sexual behavior or sexual function.

This review examines host factors like ACE2 and TMPRSS2 in SARS-CoV-2 infection, exploring how genetic variants and advanced cellular analyses might clarify COVID-19's severity and heterogeneity; it reports no new results.

Adult somatic stem cells could be used for future skin therapies.

This study found that PRC1 plays crucial roles in skin epithelial stem cell regulation, with catalytic and non-catalytic functions impacting epidermal integrity, hair development, and Merkel cell dynamics in murine models.

Women with telogen effluvium have an imbalance in thiol-disulphide, suggesting oxidative stress may contribute to hair loss.

In this study, mouse models with EGFR deficiency showed that disrupted hair follicle cycling leads to increased mast cell numbers and inflammation, suggesting EGFR's role in managing hair cycle transitions and preventing folliculitis.

This study found that Carthamus caeruleus (L.) leaf extracts possess higher antioxidant and antibacterial activities compared to rhizome extracts, and are rich in phenolic and flavonoid compounds, suggesting potential use as a natural therapeutic agent.

This study found that severe androgenetic alopecia was associated with metabolic syndrome components in male psoriatic patients, particularly those over 59 years old, suggesting the need for regular screening.

This analysis discusses the role of genetic factors, particularly male hormones and specific gene variants, in influencing sex differences and potential susceptibility to severe COVID-19 outcomes, but notes that conclusive evidence is lacking, highlighting the need for larger studies.

This review discusses drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome and drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms, highlighting clinical features, potential viral reactivations, and treatment, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that gonadal dysfunction is very common in premenopausal women with acromegaly and may be caused by hyperprolactinemia, GH/IGF-I excess, or tumor effects.

This study observed that androgenic alopecia patients taking finasteride had altered neuroactive steroid levels and persistent depression symptoms even after stopping the treatment.

This study found that overexpression of the mineralocorticoid receptor in a mouse model led to premature epidermal barrier development, keratinocyte apoptosis, and postnatal alopecia, indicating new roles for MR signaling in skin physiology.

This study reports that men with androgenic alopecia experience altered neuroactive steroid levels associated with persistent depression symptoms even after stopping finasteride treatment.

This study found a strong dose-related increase in the risk of intracranial meningiomas associated with high doses of cyproterone acetate, with some reduction in risk after stopping the treatment.

This study found that novel androgen antagonists incorporating a carborane moiety showed anti-androgenic activity comparable to flutamide in a laboratory setting.

This review discusses the role of the mineralocorticoid receptor in skin biology, highlighting its potential involvement in keratinocyte and hair physiology, and proposes it may affect the side effects of glucocorticoid use.

St. John's Wort can cause dangerous high blood pressure if taken with certain foods.

This review discusses treatment options for hirsutism in women of childbearing age, focusing on the use of contraceptives, CPA, spironolactone, and third-line therapies, and reports no clinical results.

This study found that carbonic anhydrase II was significantly upregulated in human keratinocytes when treated with toll-like receptor 3 agonist and Th2 cytokines, suggesting its potential role in inflammatory skin conditions.

In this study, subcutaneous platelet-rich plasma injections improved hair density and histological markers of hair growth in hairless rats without causing local toxicity.

This letter to the editor discusses the use of topical cetirizine 1% for treating androgenetic alopecia but reports no new clinical outcomes.

This clinical case report identifies xanthomatous hypophysitis in a male patient, highlighting the mismatch between clinical symptoms and MRI findings, which led to a pituitary biopsy and accurate diagnosis instead of unnecessary surgery.

This study determined the crystal structure and conformation of synthesized 17x-Acetoxy-pregn-4,6-diene-3,20-dione, revealing specific molecular interactions and structural details in an orthorhombic crystal system.

In this study, a child with Alopecia Areata underwent art therapy, leading to reduced anxiety and stress levels and improved emotional expression and motivation for treatment, suggesting art therapy as a suitable psychosocial intervention for this condition.

This case study highlighted that excessive iodide intake from the supplement TauriNac was associated with the development of hypothyroidism in a cystic fibrosis patient, which reversed upon discontinuation.

This article discusses the diagnosis and management of allergic dermatoses in dogs, focusing on clinical diagnosis, complementary tests, and various treatment strategies, but it reports no new results.

This chapter discusses the role of orthognathic surgeons in facial feminization surgery, focusing on procedures such as forehead reduction and orbital rim contouring, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found significant improvements in hair growth parameters and a reduction in hair fall after using the test product for 90 days, with no adverse events reported.
