Corticosteroids, especially prednisone, improve short-term muscle strength in Duchenne muscular dystrophy but have manageable side effects.

The research found that PCOS has common genetic factors regardless of how it is diagnosed and is linked to metabolic and reproductive issues.

Chemicals and body size might change when puberty starts and progresses, but more research is needed to confirm this.

Some drugs can cause rare but potentially deadly skin reactions, and early treatment and avoiding the drug again are key.

The Rotterdam Study aims to understand disease causes in the elderly and has found new risk factors and genetic influences on various conditions.

The guidelines advise against using testosterone and DHEA in women for most conditions due to safety and effectiveness concerns, but suggest considering testosterone for postmenopausal women with low sexual desire.

The Rotterdam Study updated its design and objectives in 2012, providing insights into various diseases in the elderly, including skin cancer, bone health, liver disease, neurological and psychiatric conditions, and respiratory issues.

Testing basal 17-HP levels is a good way to screen for nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia in women with high androgen levels.

The guidelines suggest a detailed approach to diagnosing and treating lupus, with a focus on regular check-ups, personalized medicine, and a range of drug options for different cases.

The document provides a method to classify human hair growth stages using a model with human scalp on mice, aiming to standardize hair research.

Metformin is effective for treating excessive hair growth in women with PCOS and may work better than the standard treatment in some ways.

Women with PCOS are more likely to have impaired glucose tolerance and type 2 diabetes, especially if they are Asian or obese.

Estrogens can improve skin aging but carry risks; more research is needed on safer treatments.

Shorter CAG repeats may cause hair and skin issues, while longer ones may link to acne.

Hair follicle dermal stem cells are key for regenerating parts of the hair follicle and determining hair type.

The document concludes that the exact way alcohol causes harm to fetal development is unknown, but it significantly affects nutrient transport to the fetus and a safe level of alcohol during pregnancy is not determined.

Low iron levels may be linked to some types of hair loss in women.

Hair loss increases with age; alcohol raises risk, more female partners lowers it.

Male and female skin differ due to hormones, affecting conditions like hair loss, acne, and skin cancer, and suggesting a need for gender-specific treatments.

Humans lost body hair relatively recently in evolution.

Stem cell self-renewal is complex and needs more research for full understanding.

Women with PCOS have a higher risk of diabetes and heart problems, especially when they get older.

Women with PCOS have overall higher body fat, not abnormal fat placement, and more insulin resistance.

Some vitamins and minerals like vitamin D and iron can help with certain types of hair loss, but more research is needed for others.

Human hair follicle organ culture is a useful model for hair research with potential for studying hair biology and testing treatments.

Different types of stem cells exist within individual skin layers, and they can adapt to damage, transplantation, or tumor growth. These cells are regulated by their environment and genetic factors. Tumor growth is driven by expanding, genetically altered cells, not long-lived mutant stem cells. There's evidence of cancer stem cells in skin tumors. Other cells, bacteria, and genetic factors help maintain balance and contribute to disease progression. A method for growing mini organs from single cells has been developed.

Obesity is linked to various skin problems and may increase the risk of skin cancer.

Men generally have more severe COVID-19 cases and higher death rates than women due to biological differences.

TRP channels in the skin are important for sensation and health, and targeting them could help treat skin disorders.

Men's sensitivity to male hormones might affect how severe COVID-19 gets for them.
