This study found that men with frontal fibrosing alopecia were more likely to have facial papules, androgenetic alopecia, and body hair loss compared to women, with the average patient age being higher than in other series, potentially explaining these differences.

In this study, early-onset androgenetic alopecia in men was associated with a higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome and carotid atherosclerosis compared to controls, suggesting cardiovascular screening might be beneficial for this group.

This review discusses the increased use of platelet-rich plasma in dermatology for conditions like skin ulcers and alopecia but reports no new clinical results, emphasizing the need for more scientific evidence to support its benefits.

In this systematic review, oral minoxidil was found to be a safe and effective treatment for androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata, with additional benefits for female pattern hair loss and other types of alopecia, although common side effects included hypertrichosis and postural hypotension.

In this study, minoxidil was found to suppress the activity of normal human T-lymphocytes in vitro, though the physiological relevance of this effect remains uncertain.

In this study, dogs with sebaceous adenitis were treated with oral vitamin A, but responses varied widely, showing improvements in some cases while others experienced no benefit.

This study found that men with early-onset androgenetic alopecia had a higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome and carotid atheromatous plaques than control subjects, suggesting a need for cardiovascular screening in this group.

In this study, four dogs with a novel skin disease showed clinical lesions involving verrucous, crusted papules and plaques, and responded variably to immunosuppressive therapy, suggesting an immune-mediated cause.

This source suggests that spironolactone, a potassium-sparing diuretic, is underutilized in dermatology despite evidence showing its potential benefits for female acne, hidradenitis suppurativa, and female androgenetic alopecia, noting its long-term safety and reduced need for additional testing in young women.

This study found that the Spanish version of the Hair Specific Skindex 29 (HSS29) is a reliable and valid tool for assessing the quality of life impact of female androgenetic alopecia.
