This pharmacovigilance study found strong disproportionality signals suggesting an association between finasteride and Peyronie's disease-related clinical features, but the evidence does not confirm a causal link.

This article reviews the steps and methods involved in preparing skin tissues for three-dimensional volumetric imaging, highlighting its potential to provide detailed insights into skin structure not possible with traditional 2D histology, but reports no new findings.

This study reviewed reports on interactions between psychotropic drugs and natural beverages, finding that substances like grapefruit juice and St John's wort can significantly affect drug metabolism, emphasizing the need for physician-patient education on drug administration to prevent harmful interactions.

This study proposes a simple fluorescence method to evaluate hair damage and protection, suggesting that emissive properties of hair can aid in substantiating cosmetic claims.

In a mouse model, this study found that LAM/TSC cells invaded the uterus and increased angiogenesis, while anti-EGFR antibody and rapamycin effectively reduced cell presence and blood vessel proliferation.

This genome-wide association study identified several genetic markers, including specific SNPs and HLA genotypes, associated with alopecia areata susceptibility in the Taiwanese population, highlighting key pathways involved in immune response and offering insights into the genetic origins of this autoimmune condition.

This study found that facial threading decreased skin roughness and improved subjective assessments of skin smoothness and color after three sessions.

This study concluded that while CDK4/6 inhibitors, used to treat HR+ HER2- metastatic breast cancer, generally did not worsen health-related quality of life, they were associated with increased patient-reported issues like diarrhea and hair loss upset.

In this preclinical study, researchers found that combining equal ratios of high molecular weight keratin intermediate filaments and low molecular weight keratin-associated proteins from human hair led to the most extensive fibrinogen precipitation, suggesting potential for developing effective hair protein-based hemostatic materials.

This case report highlights the need to assess postmenopausal women with hirsutism for hyperandrogenism causes, as exemplified by a Leydig cell tumor coinciding with primary hyperparathyroidism.

This study found that elevated luteinizing hormone levels were significantly associated with female pattern hair loss, and implicated LH/LHR signaling in the aging and damage of hair follicles.

In this retrospective, population-based cohort study, researchers found no significant difference in age-related macular degeneration incidence between BPH patients using 5α-reductase inhibitors and those on tamsulosin, but observed a slight increased risk with dutasteride compared to finasteride.

This study found that stress is likely the main cause of symmetrical alopecia in Formosan macaques, with higher stress hormone levels observed in affected individuals.

In this case report, a 77-year-old woman developed alopecia areata after discontinuing cemiplimab treatment for metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, suggesting an immune-related adverse effect potentially linked to systemic immune activation.

This study used molecular docking simulations to identify approved drugs, including Bedaquiline and Telmisartan, with potential to treat Onchocerca volvulus infections by inhibiting key protein targets, suggesting these drugs could be repurposed for onchocerciasis treatment with further validation.

This study found that psychiatric adverse drug reactions were more frequently reported with finasteride than with dutasteride, but it remains unclear if there is a causal relationship.

This pharmacovigilance study analyzed FAERS data and found that finasteride is more frequently associated with neuropsychiatric reactions like depression and suicide risk, especially in younger men using it for alopecia, compared to dutasteride.

This study reports the first case of airway involvement in Conradi–Hünermann–Happle syndrome, highlighting successful management of severe subglottic stenosis with serial endoscopic balloon dilations in a 2-month-old female.

This study highlights the need for a comprehensive andrological assessment at diagnosis, including semen and hormonal analysis, to guide fertility preservation strategies, and found that post-orchidectomy semen samples showed improved DNA integrity for assisted reproductive technologies.

This review discusses the repurposing of auranofin for oncological and non-oncological uses and highlights its early-stage clinical trial findings, suggesting further exploration of its therapeutic potential.

This study reported that the increased dermatological emergency department visits during the pandemic, influenced by PPE usage and psychological stressors, highlight the need for more robust dermatology training and resources in emergency medicine to better prepare for future pandemics.

This study examined postmenopausal hyperandrogenism related to ovarian disease and found that specific biochemical markers can help differentiate between tumorous and non-tumorous cases, with a good level of sensitivity and specificity, supporting surgical intervention for resolution.

This review highlights that microtrauma, involving small intentional skin injuries, shows promise in stimulating hair growth in non-scarring alopecias by enhancing immune responses and increasing growth factor release, with methods like microneedling and PRP demonstrating efficacy.

Oral minoxidil 7.5 mg for hair loss increases heart rate but not blood pressure.

This case report describes a 1-month-old male infant with Netherton syndrome, characterized by severe hypernatremia, skin and scalp issues, highlighting the syndrome's complications, including growth retardation and infection risks in early life.

This review discusses the genetic differences between male and female pattern hair loss and highlights the uncertainty surrounding genetic factors in female pattern hair loss, but reports no clinical results.

This study found that testosterone and finasteride were significantly associated with reports of male-factor infertility based on FDA pharmacovigilance data from 2010 to 2020.
