This study found no evidence of androgen deficiency or decreased peripheral androgen action in men with persistent sexual symptoms after finasteride use, but identified links to depressed mood and abnormal brain function.

This study found that only eumenorrheic polycystic ovary syndrome patients showed a temporal coupling between kisspeptin and luteinizing hormone pulsatile secretions.

This study developed and validated a high-resolution mass spectrometry method to screen for prohibited substances and analyze six endogenous steroids in urine according to World Antidoping Agency requirements, demonstrating its effectiveness for antidoping analysis.

This study found that moderate to severe androgenetic alopecia is an independent predictor of increased mortality risk from diabetes mellitus and heart disease in both sexes.

This study observed that finasteride use among men with benign prostatic hyperplasia was associated with a decreased incidence of low-grade prostate cancer but not high-grade tumors.

This meta-analysis found that people with alopecia have an increased risk of coronary heart disease and several cardiovascular risk factors compared to those without alopecia.

In this study, Juvéderm repeat treatments maintained wrinkle correction in nasolabial folds for up to 21 months and required significantly less filler than the initial treatment, indicating potential benefits for patients.

This study found that 12 weeks of melatonin supplementation improved mental health and metabolic parameters in women with polycystic ovary syndrome compared to a placebo.

This article discusses methods for diagnosing and managing diffuse hair loss and reports no new results; the authors emphasize systematic evaluation and the importance of psychological support.

This study found that 1% ketoconazole and 1% piroctone olamine shampoos increased hair shaft thickness and reduced hair shedding in men with telogen effluvium and androgenic alopecia associated with dandruff.

This review examines complementary and alternative medicine for alopecia and finds limited support from robust clinical trials, highlighting the need for standardized studies to evaluate efficacy and safety.

The authors describe drug repurposing as a promising strategy for finding new uses for existing drugs, noting it is efficient, cost-effective, and poses lower risks than traditional drug discovery processes, potentially aiding in the treatment of rare and difficult-to-treat diseases.

This study found that a testosterone patch and gel showed bioequivalent testosterone levels in hypogonadal men, but the patch mimicked a natural circadian profile, while the gel resulted in higher dihydrotestosterone levels.

This study found that TSC2-null fibroblast cells from TSC skin hamartomas can induce hair follicle formation and hamartomatous changes in keratinocytes, with active mTOR signaling observable in a mouse xenograft model.

This systematic review found that long COVID symptoms, particularly fatigue, sleep disorder, and dyspnoea, were similarly prevalent in ongoing symptomatic COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 syndrome, but psychological issues and poor quality of life were more common in the latter.

People with psoriasis are more likely to have Metabolic Syndrome than those without psoriasis.

This study found that dutasteride pretreatment reduced certain sedative effects of alcohol and may decrease drinking behavior in adult men, likely by impacting neuroactive steroid levels.

This study found that thyroxine modulates peripheral molecular clock gene expression in human hair follicles, which may have implications for treating clock-related diseases in patients with thyroid dysfunction.

This study concluded that men with benign prostatic hyperplasia receiving steroid 5α-reductase inhibitors, such as dutasteride or finasteride, have a higher risk of developing new onset type 2 diabetes compared to those taking tamsulosin.

This study found that Indian women with PCOS following a vegetarian diet had higher pro-inflammatory and lower anti-inflammatory marker levels compared to age and BMI-matched non-vegetarian counterparts.

This study found that a marine complex supplement significantly reduced hair shedding and increased hair growth in men with thinning hair over 180 days.

This study suggests that in women with androgenic alopecia and men with premature balding, enhanced 5α-reductase activity and altered androgen conjugation, favoring sulfurylation, may be involved in scalp hair loss.
