This study found a significant association between androgenetic alopecia and metabolic syndrome, highlighting high-density lipoprotein cholesterol as a particularly important factor.

This review explores the mechanisms of hair cell death due to factors like noise, ototoxic drugs, and aging and reports no conclusive clinical results; ongoing research may eventually enable preventive treatments for hearing loss.

This review discusses the role of complement activation in SLE and suggests that while monitoring C3 and C4 remains important, increased levels of cell-bound complement activation products may better indicate disease activity.

This review discusses the known morbidities of polycystic ovarian syndrome, highlighting its diverse impacts on women's health, but reports no new research findings.

This article reviews central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, focusing on its multifactorial etiology and challenges in clinical diagnosis, and calls for more research and better treatment options.

This study reported that patients with alopecia areata or alopecia totalis/universalis have a slightly increased overall cancer risk compared to controls, with specific increases in thyroid, bladder, and prostate cancers depending on the alopecia type.

This study reports that telogen effluvium, a form of hair loss, may be associated with the use of albendazole therapy.
