This study found that parents identified with cryptic NCCAH through genetic testing are mostly asymptomatic but may experience temporary female infertility and require glucocorticoid stress coverage in specific circumstances.

This review discusses the varied use and inconsistent reporting of platelet rich plasma in aesthetic surgery, finding that current studies lack consistent methodologies and objective evidence, and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that twice-daily application of 3% topical minoxidil maintained a higher nonvellus hair count compared to once-daily application over 2 years and 9 months in men with male pattern baldness.

Minoxidil doesn't increase pericardial disorder risk, but may cause fluid accumulation.

This study observed that hair density and thickness were significantly reduced across multiple scalp sites in South Korean women with hair loss, highlighting potential patterns that could aid in differentiating hair disorders.

This study found that sexual and erectile function in men taking finasteride 1 mg did not significantly differ from age-matched controls, suggesting sexual side effects may be less common than previously reported.

This case study describes a unique patient with dermatomyositis who exhibited features of pityriasis rubra pilaris and porokeratosis, suggesting markers for malignancy warranting thorough investigation and monitoring.

This study observed that two patients treated with interferon α-2b and ribavirin for chronic hepatitis C experienced complete and reversible straightening of their natural curly hair, which recurred with treatment resumption.

In this study, researchers found that overexpression of IGF-1 in transgenic mice stimulated increased vibrissa growth during the first neonatal hair cycle compared to their nontransgenic littermates.

This study identified eight isoflavone derivatives as potential nonsteroidal inhibitors of rat 5α-reductase using a pharmacophore model in virtual screening.

This study found that radiofrequency radiation from mobile phone use may increase DNA damage in hair follicle cells of the ear canal, with greater exposure duration linked to higher damage levels.

This review highlights the light microscopic features of various infectious and non-infectious hair conditions and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that finasteride was associated with more reproductive adverse effects, including sexual dysfunction in men and fetal harm in women, compared to minoxidil in reported alopecia cases.

This review discusses the etiology, diagnosis, and management strategies for hirsutism, noting that serious underlying disorders are rare and emphasizing targeted treatment to manage testosterone's effects.

This study concluded that TrichoScan is error-prone in its current form and overestimates certain hair growth parameters, with results not aligning with clinical severity of alopecia.

This article reviews the challenges in treating PCOS, noting the potential benefits of insulin sensitizers on ovulatory function and pregnancy outcomes, and calls for more long-term studies on metabolic interventions.

This study reported that using 5% minoxidil topical foam twice daily improved hair density and width in both the frontotemporal and vertex regions of men with moderate androgenetic alopecia.

This study found that glycine treatment inhibited melanogenesis in B16F0 melanoma cells and reduced melanin content in C57BL/6J mice by down-regulating tyrosinase protein levels.

This study constructed a model to predict finasteride's inhibitory activity on 5α-reductase type 2 and calculated that a 1 μM plasma concentration, after 50 mg administration, matches prostate inhibition levels.

Light scatters differently from elliptical hair fibers than from circular ones, and a new model better predicts this behavior, especially for shiny highlights.
