This study found that dutasteride effectively improved urinary symptoms, reduced acute urinary retention risk, and decreased prostate volume in men with moderate to severe BPH over two years.

This study reported that certain newly synthesized steroidal derivatives showed stronger inhibitory activity against the 5α-reductase enzyme than finasteride in hamsters, suggesting their potential as enzyme inhibitors.

This study found that specific mutations in the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 may significantly alter its structure and affect how it binds to certain inhibitors, but experimental studies are needed to confirm potential clinical implications.

This review discusses female androgenetic alopecia, highlighting its diagnostic challenges and management strategies, but it reports no new results.

In this study, higher scores of HOMA-IR and FIRI suggested that male patients with early-onset androgenetic alopecia may have insulin resistance, although no significant differences in metabolic syndrome were found compared to controls.

This study found that newly synthesized steroidal trienones demonstrated stronger 5α-reductase inhibitory activity compared to dienones in various biological models, suggesting potential for developing enhanced antiandrogenic drugs.

This study found that isotretinoin, a drug commonly used for acne, inhibits polyamine transport in Trypanosoma cruzi, leading to trypanocidal effects, and suggests its potential as a treatment for Chagas disease without affecting mammalian cell viability.

In this study, stress experienced by transmen during early stages of gender transition was associated with reduced nocturnal blood pressure decline and increased C-reactive protein levels.

This study found that early-onset androgenic alopecia is associated with a higher risk of developing prostate cancer, although it was not linked to earlier diagnosis or more aggressive tumors.

This study found that environmental factors such as smoking, alcohol consumption, exercise, and testosterone levels may significantly influence various forms of hair loss in male identical twins.

This article updates Japanese guidelines for diagnosing and treating male and female-pattern hair loss, recommending specific drugs and therapies while advising against certain treatments for female-pattern hair loss.

This review outlines the main findings from clinical trials on teriflunomide's efficacy and safety for relapsing multiple sclerosis, noting clinical considerations and exploring its mechanisms based on various studies.

In this study, a combined therapy of Cyclosporine A and ketoconazole resolved anal furunculosis in dogs within 10 weeks, but recurrences were noted in about 37% of cases.

This article reviews tinea capitis as a common infectious scalp condition in children, reporting no new findings.

This meta-analysis found that vertex pattern androgenetic alopecia was associated with an increased risk of developing prostate cancer, while other androgenetic alopecia patterns did not show a significant link.

This study found that inhaled fluticasone for 11 months did not adversely affect the immune function or response to vaccination in horses with heaves.

This review summarizes the use of chlormadinone acetate for hormone replacement therapy and contraception, highlighting its anti-androgenic effects, contraceptive efficacy, and clinical tolerability, without offering new clinical results.

This study suggests that a larger prostate is associated with a higher prevalence of androgenetic alopecia, although the prostate size did not correlate with alopecia severity.

This study found that trained observers using the Hamilton-Norwood classification were very reliable in assessing balding patterns, while men's self-assessments were moderately accurate compared to observers.

This review discusses the use of antiandrogen therapy in dermatology, covering treatments for conditions like acne, hirsutism, and androgenic alopecia but reports no new clinical findings.

This article reviews the characteristics, diagnosis, and management of premature adrenarche and suggests it may predict future ovarian hyperandrogenism in some adolescents; no new clinical results are reported.

This study found no difference in male pattern baldness between patients with benign prostate hyperplasia and prostate cancer, and no correlation with serum androgen levels.

Finasteride can cause one-sided breast enlargement, which disappears after stopping the drug.

This review discusses hormonal influences and treatment considerations in female acne, particularly highlighting the role of androgens in persistent or resistant cases, and reports no new clinical findings.

This review explores the use of skin penetration enhancers like Transcutol® in various formulation systems, discussing their mechanisms and effectiveness in improving transdermal drug delivery without breaching the skin.

This review concluded that finasteride may reduce hirsutism scores and hair diameter in women with hyperandrogenism, but concerns about teratogenicity and long-term safety make it a secondary treatment option.

This study reports that a sarcoptic mange outbreak, likely originating from mange-infected llamas from a governmental program, dramatically reduced vicuña and guanaco populations in San Guillermo National Park, Argentina.

This review classifies engineered nanomaterials by composition and application in biomedicine, highlighting diverse uses like regenerative medicine and potential occupational side effects, but reports no new clinical results.

This paper suggests that ketoconazole 2% shampoo may enhance finasteride's effectiveness in treating androgenetic alopecia by more completely inhibiting the dihydrotestosterone pathway.

This study found that glutathione deficiency affects lateral root and root hair responses to indole butyric acid in plants, but not to indole acetic acid, indicating its role in auxin pathway regulation.
