Opioid use may lower PSA levels, suggesting a possible role in prostate cancer control; PSA testing is useful for detecting prostate cancer; serum triglycerides are not linked to prostate cancer risk; and higher urethral PSA levels may be associated with local hormone activity.

More biopsy cores and MRI before biopsy can improve prostate cancer detection.

Systematic end-of-trial biopsies are the most reliable way to assess outcomes.

This article discusses developments in clinical urology featured in the Journal of Urology's October 1999 issue and presents no new clinical findings.

This study found that dermoscopy-guided scalp biopsies provided a definitive pathological diagnosis in 95% of patients with cicatricial alopecia.

This study found that reduced cell cohesiveness in eccrine sweat gland outgrowths contributed to delayed wound healing in elderly skin compared to younger skin.

This study suggests that male pattern baldness—especially moderate to severe—is an independent risk factor for prostate cancer and high-grade disease in men undergoing prostate biopsy.

Topical imiquimod is as effective as 5-fluorouracil for treating actinic keratosis, with about a 5% risk of it turning into squamous cell carcinoma.

This review discusses various techniques for evaluating hair shedding and alopecia but reports no new clinical results. The authors emphasize the value of specific clinical and instrumental methods in assessing hair growth.

This study investigated the histopathology of ectodermal dysplasia/skin fragility syndrome, identifying specific skin and hair abnormalities associated with PKP1 gene mutations in two young female patients.

This article reviews insights into the pathogenesis of primary cicatricial alopecias, such as lichen planopilaris, provided by emerging technologies, but it does not report new clinical results.

This review discusses the expanding applications of dermoscopy in dermatological diagnosis beyond its initial use for detecting dysplastic nevi and reports no new clinical results.

This case report describes a hemodialysis patient whose hair loss reversed after switching from tinzaparin to enoxaparin, suggesting tinzaparin-induced alopecia.

This study found that direct immunofluorescence of hair is a simple and non-invasive alternative for monitoring pemphigus vulgaris, matching skin biopsy results in the cases observed.

This report emphasizes the importance of considering thyroid tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of cervical masses, highlighting the role of biopsy and histopathological examination for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

This review discusses comprehensive information on hair growth, its clinical and environmental influences, and provides a detailed guide for diagnosing hair loss, but reports no new clinical results.

In this report, the authors describe the case of an 83-year-old woman initially diagnosed with atrophic actinic keratosis, but further examination and skin biopsies at their clinic suggested the presence of an inflammatory disease, highlighting the challenges in diagnosing pemphigus.

A botanical extract may help manage hair loss from chemotherapy by preventing cell death in hair follicles.

This study reported that in a mouse tail wound model, the synthetic dual inhibitor corin accelerated wound closure by enhancing re-epithelialization, and further in vitro experiments demonstrated increased expression of genes promoting keratinocyte migration, suggesting its potential as a treatment for chronic wounds.

This case study described a Staffordshire Bull Terrier diagnosed with alopecia by color dilution, characterized by gradual hair loss and confirmed through clinical examination and histopathology.

This article discusses the role of 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors in prostate cancer prevention and highlights a medical quandary, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This article reviews common dermatologic procedures, focusing on skin biopsy techniques, with no new clinical results reported.

This review discusses potential causes of alopecia and hair overgrowth in pediatric patients, detailing diagnostic techniques and treatments, but presents no new research findings.

This study found that the occipital scalp had significantly higher epidermal nerve fiber density than the frontoparietal scalp, which may explain increased sensitivity in some patients.

This case report describes a 49-year-old woman with Sweet syndrome who experienced complete resolution of skin lesions after a prednisone treatment regimen.

This study found that weekly low-dose bicalutamide was safe and appeared to be associated with high-grade PIN remission and favorable PSA modulation in subjects with persistently elevated PSA but negative biopsy.

An elderly man's non-healing scalp lesion was successfully treated with a strong topical steroid.

This article notes the lack of US prevalence data for primary lymphocytic cicatricial alopecias due to the recent introduction of subtype-specific ICD-10 codes and highlights the importance of early diagnosis for hair preservation.

This study suggests that using ex vivo dermatoscopy can improve the accuracy of scalp biopsy processing by correctly guiding tissue bisection and potentially reducing laboratory costs and turnaround time.

This study found that the creation of hair follicle lumens in mice is driven by the outward migration of keratin 79-positive cells, suggesting a novel mechanism for generating hollow cores in hair follicles.
