This review discusses the potential benefits and adverse effects of testosterone therapy in women with androgen insufficiency, and highlights the need for further research on its long-term safety and effectiveness.

Custom software found that common allergy drugs might have new uses for various conditions and could improve survival in some cancers.

This article reviews the unapproved use of testosterone for treating female androgen insufficiency and reports no new clinical results.

In this study, transgender adolescents treated with testosterone for a median of 12 months experienced effective virilization, including voice deepening and increased hair growth, but also showed decreased HDL cholesterol and BMD z-scores, and increased hematocrit, with no short-term safety issues reported.

This study found that testosterone therapy increased bone mineral density in older men with low testosterone, and combining it with finasteride may reduce prostate enlargement associated with testosterone treatment.

In this study, finasteride treatment did not negatively impact bone development or density in male rats, suggesting that DHT deficiency is not harmful to the male rat skeleton.

This study concluded that finasteride treatment did not adversely affect bone development or density in male rats, suggesting selective DHT deficiency is not harmful to the skeleton.

This study found that one year of antiandrogen treatment with spironolactone significantly decreased bone mineral density in young women with androgen excess.

This study found no difference in bone mineral density between young women with PCOS and age- and BMI-matched controls, but BMI significantly influenced BMD in women with PCOS.

This study found that 1-year use of 5alpha-reductase inhibitors, dutasteride or finasteride, significantly lowered dihydrotestosterone levels without adversely affecting bone density, lipids, or hemoglobin in normal men.

This study reports that long-term use of finasteride does not affect bone mineral density in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia over a four-year period.

This study found that 50% of patients with patchy alopecia areata who underwent chronic intralesional triamcinolone acetonide therapy had abnormal bone mineral density, suggesting the need for monitoring and preventive measures.

This study observed that balding was associated with lower total body BMD in men and higher hip BMD in women, possibly due to estrogen use in the latter group.

This study found that six-month supplementation with fish-derived collagen peptides, calcium, and vitamin D3 improved skin hydration and elasticity and reduced hair loss in menopausal women, with collagen playing a dominant role in enhancing skin elasticity.

In this study, a single dose of PTH–CBD produced a sustained increase in bone mineral density for up to a year in mice, indicating its potential as an osteoporosis treatment.

This study found that patients with hidradenitis suppurativa had lower trabecular bone score and total hip bone mineral density compared to controls, with a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency.

This study found no significant differences in bone mineral density or predisposing factors across hair-loss stages in women with androgenetic alopecia, though early-onset cases may warrant investigation for premature bone loss.

This review of stem cell-based tissue engineering treatments in preclinical burn wound models reports promising improvements in skin repair, suggesting potential as an enhanced therapy for burn wounds.

This research found that feather pattern formation in birds is regulated by a mechanochemical system involving fibroblast growth factor and bone morphogenetic protein signaling, which is altered in the flightless emu and ostrich.

This study found that patients with lichen planus were significantly more likely to have dyslipidemia, particularly with higher triglyceride levels.

This review discusses various theories of skin aging and the importance of using professional and at-home skincare solutions, but offers no new empirical findings.

This study found that higher hair calcium concentration was associated with lower calcium intake and bone mineral density among women over 20 years old in Korea.

The April 2014 issue of "Fertility and Sterility" discussed various reproductive health topics, including hormone therapy benefits, sperm and genetic factors in male infertility, and the link between PCOS and diabetes.

In this study, a low-methionine diet significantly improved the health and physical traits of cystathionine β-synthase-deficient mice, contrasting with negative effects on mice with partial deficiency.

Isotretinoin is a preferred treatment for severe acne, often leading to long-term improvement, but requires careful monitoring due to potential side effects.

This review discusses the multifactorial causes of female sexual dysfunction and reports no clinical results; it emphasizes the need for thorough evaluation before considering androgen therapy.

This review covers skin manifestations in chronic kidney disease, highlighting their impact on quality of life, associated prognostic indicators, and available treatments, but provides no new clinical results.

This study found that modulating BMP activity in transgenic mice affects the development and characteristics of several ectodermal organs, such as skin, hair, and claws, highlighting a stage-dependent influence on organogenesis.

This study found that male pattern baldness in European males is strongly heritable and associated with genetic markers linked to earlier puberty, bone density, and pancreatic function.

This review presents substantial evidence supporting testosterone use for hypoactive sexual desire disorder in postmenopausal women, but notes safety concerns with off-label prescribing due to lack of approved formulations.
