This case study describes a 21-year-old man who experienced a hemorrhagic stroke potentially linked to finasteride and minoxidil use for androgenic alopecia, emphasizing the need for thorough medication history in young stroke patients.

This case report describes the first recorded instance of posterior cerebral artery dissection in a patient with childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus, which uniquely progressed from cerebral infarction to subarachnoid hemorrhage.

This study reports a case of fatal HHV-6 encephalitis and vasculitis in a previously healthy 49-year-old male, highlighting the occurrence of this condition even in individuals without typical risk factors, such as immunocompromised status.

This study presents a rare case where a patient with a heterozygous mutation in the HTRA1 gene, typically considered non-pathogenic, exhibited severe symptoms and typical features of CARASIL, expanding the understanding of this condition.

This article reviews the potential advantages of secretome derivatives from human uterine cervical stem cells in MSC therapy and notes the need for regulatory standards to ensure safety and efficacy.

This study found that neurosteroids might play a role in the neuroprotective effects of ischemic postconditioning by reducing brain infarct size and improving motor performance and memory in mice.

Minoxidil improves blood flow and vessel flexibility, potentially helping with vascular stiffness.

This study reported that enoxaparin may cause alopecia in patients treated for cerebral venous thrombosis, with hair growth resuming naturally after the treatment ended.

Finasteride may help reduce tic severity in male Tourette syndrome patients.

This review discusses the long-term complications of COVID-19, known as long COVID or PASC, and emphasizes the need to improve awareness and management strategies but reports no new clinical findings.

This case series reports telogen effluvium in three patients following severe Sars-Cov-2 infection and suggests a potential association that merits further investigation.

This study found that hair follicle stem cells, when transplanted in a rat model of ischaemic stroke, migrated to affected areas, expressed neuron-specific markers, and reduced infarct volume, suggesting potential therapeutic benefits.

This case report presented a female with PCOS treated with metformin who developed hyperuricemia, migraine, neurological and joint pain, and rheumatic fever, later showing a delayed hypersensitivity reaction to benzathine benzyl penicillin treatment.

This case report suggests that dutasteride may be a potential cause of cerebral venous thrombosis, as observed in a 25-year-old male presenting with headache and diplopia that improved after discontinuing the drug.

This systematic review and meta-analysis found that hidradenitis suppurativa is associated with an increased risk of major adverse cardiac events, including cerebrovascular accidents and myocardial infarction, although study heterogeneity affects the magnitude of risk.

This report describes two cases of stroke associated with finasteride use for male-pattern hair loss, suggesting a potential link to thrombosis due to increased estrone and estradiol levels.

In this study, androgenic alopecia was identified as an independent predictor of abnormal white matter hyperintensities in the brain, suggesting it may serve as a surrogate marker for cerebral small vessel disease linked to arteriolosclerosis.

This review discusses hypopituitarism's bidirectional relationship with COVID-19 due to metabolic comorbidities and pituitary risks, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that COVID-19 infection is a frequent cause of acute telogen effluvium, leading to excessive hair loss within 2–3 months after infection.

This review discusses the relationship between ectodermal alterations and immunodeficiencies, particularly the roles of hyper-IgE syndrome, ectodermal dysplasia, and FOXN1 gene mutations, but it presents no new research findings.

Immunosuppressive therapy helps manage autoimmune diseases but carries risks like infection and potential for malignancy.

The researchers reported a case of a neotropical porcupine co-infected with Brazilian porcupine poxvirus and Toxoplasma gondii, suggesting the need for further investigation into the impact of this interaction.

This study demonstrated that Forsythiaside A improved survival and reduced neurological deficits in rats with cerebral ischemic injury, potentially through activating Nrf2 and reducing ER stress pathways.

This review examined how COVID-19 infection and vaccination might affect sexual activity, sex hormones, and menstrual cycles in men and women, and found no evidence of COVID-19 transmission via semen.

This review summarizes current knowledge of SARS-CoV-2, including its biology, epidemiology, risk factors, and the need for updated vaccines and drugs, but presents no new clinical findings.

This review discusses post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection, highlighting the challenges in diagnosing and managing the variety of persistent symptoms, and reports no new clinical results.

This case report discusses a young man's severe febrile illness mimicking leptospirosis or dengue, ultimately suggesting Gloriosa superba poisoning after hair loss led to the correct diagnosis.

This study found that injecting hepatocyte growth factor-enhanced hair follicle stem cells into a rat model of ischemic stroke improved recovery by reducing inflammation, protecting the blood-brain barrier, and promoting angiogenesis.

This review evaluates the potential of natural products and medicinal plants for myocardial infarction treatment, highlighting their therapeutic promise and mechanisms such as reducing oxidative stress and inflammation, but reports no new clinical results.

This review reports that sex-related differences in pharmacological response have been observed in SARS-CoV-2 infection, dyslipidemia, and diabetes mellitus, with implications for treatment strategies; for example, men may respond better to genomic vaccines for SARS-CoV-2, while women may benefit more from certain antiviral medications.
