This systematic review found that both oral and topical minoxidil have similar efficacy in improving hair density and terminal hair density among patients with androgenetic alopecia, suggesting that oral minoxidil may be a viable second-line or adjunct treatment option.

This narrative review reports that well-selected plant extracts and their active compounds may improve hair health by promoting hair growth and preventing hair loss, potentially aiding in developing targeted therapies for alopecia.

This study reviewed the historical and current uses of frankincense, highlighting its potential antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory effects, particularly noting some clinical evidence that suggests its use in treating COVID-19 symptoms, although more data is needed.

This report describes two cases where alopecia areata occurred in conjunction with odontogenic infections, highlighting a mysterious association between dental infections and alopecia areata despite the known etiologies of the latter.

This study found that glycated proteins in untreated scalp hair may serve as a non-invasive marker for blood glucose control, but its applicability is limited by factors like cosmetic treatments and sample collection challenges.

Hair casts may be a useful clue for diagnosing hair loss during the resting phase of hair growth.

This case study reports a patient with ACTH-driven cortisol secretion 14 years after adrenalectomy, suggesting possible residual adrenal tissue or extra-adrenal steroid synthesis, challenging the need for lifelong steroid replacement.

This study observed that physical examinations of hair and scalp changes, such as texture and color alteration, can help predict zinc deficiency severity among children with hair abnormalities.

This study assessed three materials—L-arginine, hydrolysed keratin, and cystine-silanol copolymer—ex vivo for their potential to reduce undesirable effects of hair bleaching, such as damage to hair proteins.

Online medical education helps doctors make better clinical decisions and increases their knowledge in treating fungal nail infections.

Non-scarring hair loss can be diagnosed with two 4mm punch biopsies, one cut vertically and the other transversely.

This research concludes that finasteride significantly reduces dihydrotestosterone levels and prostate size in men with BPH and may improve urinary symptoms, with greater baseline prostate size predicting more pronounced benefits compared to placebo.

This review synthesizes both traditional and emerging molecular mechanisms of tissue remodeling across different organs, aiming to establish a theoretical basis for precision interventions in pathological conditions, according to the authors.

This narrative review provides an overview of the persistent dermatological side effects experienced by cancer survivors due to treatments, highlighting their impact on quality of life and the need for structured dermatological care during survivorship.

This study highlighted Keratin 17's critical role in cancer therapy resistance across several malignancies, involving various signaling pathways, and identified it as a significant biomarker and potential therapeutic target, particularly in reversing resistance.

This study conducted a meta-analysis and found that men with both frontal and vertex male pattern baldness have a slightly increased risk of developing prostate cancer, though most data was from Caucasian populations and effect modification by genetic variations was not assessed.

This research proposes to investigate the incidence of skin diseases in dogs from North-eastern India linked to deficiencies in alpha-linolenic and linoleic acids, as these essential fatty acids have anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory benefits potentially aiding inflammatory skin disease therapy.

This review explored the causes of hair graying and evaluated how plant-derived extracts and phytochemicals might alleviate it, noting that certain compounds showed potential in enhancing melanocyte function, reducing oxidative stress, and influencing stress-related pathways based on experimental evidence.

This review examined the diverse therapeutic potentials of cannabinoids, highlighting their applications in pain, neurological, and cancer treatments, and emphasized the benefits of biodegradable polymers in improving drug delivery; however, further clinical trials are needed to fully explore these potentials.

This review provides guidance for dermatologists on diagnosing and managing hair loss in cancer patients by considering patient medical history, utilizing trichoscopic exams, and selecting safe treatments that do not raise cancer recurrence risk.

This study systematically reviewed meta-analyses and Mendelian randomization studies to identify factors influencing prostate cancer risk, finding suggestive associations for physical activity, height, and smoking but no robust, convincing overlapping evidence across tested factors.

This review discusses the insights gained from single-cell RNA sequencing of fibroblasts in various cancers and wound healing, highlighting differences in gene expression and novel interactions.

This report highlights the usefulness of specific diagnostic procedures, including penile/preputial cytology and transabdominal ultrasonography, in diagnosing cryptorchidism and Sertoli cell tumors in dogs with generalized skin conditions.

This review covers the diverse applications of Cannabis sativa in areas like cancer treatment, skin care, and alopecia, but reports no new clinical results; continued research faces challenges due to legal variability.

In this study, dogs with localized demodicosis showed notable improvement in dermatological lesions when treated with Dipterocarpus alatus oil combined with Rhinacanthus nasutus leaf extract, particularly by day 28 of post-treatment, with no observed allergic reactions or clinical signs.

This study observed that in an ex vivo setting, 17β-estradiol increased CB1 expression in human hair follicles, suggesting possible sensitivity to endocannabinoids and a potential mechanism for hair therapy.

In this study, Swedish men carrying the AR haplotype H2 were found to have a significantly lower risk of prostate cancer compared to those with the more common H1 variant.

This study found that men who began balding at age 20 were twice as likely to develop prostate cancer later in life compared to those who did not experience early hair loss.
