In this study, smoking status and intensity were significantly associated with moderate or severe androgenetic alopecia among Asian men, after accounting for age and family history.

This case series suggests a possible, though likely very rare, association between vaccinations and hair loss, calling for further research in more defined populations.

This study observed that certain hair care practices, such as wearing cornrows and using hair extensions, were strongly associated with the development of traction alopecia and seborrheic dermatitis in African American girls.

This study introduces an extended approach to the Bonferroni procedure that accounts for correlations among endpoints, aiming to improve test power while maintaining strong control of the family-wise type I error rate in clinical trials.

In this study, individuals reported a decrease in dermatologist visits for hair and scalp conditions like telogen effluvium and alopecia areata during COVID-19 quarantine, despite increased occurrences.

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 reported that female pattern hair loss was prevalent in 11.8% of women aged 30 and older and was associated with high fasting glucose, fewer childbirths, oral contraceptive use, and excessive ultraviolet exposure.

This study found that trichoscopic examination is useful for diagnosing and monitoring systemic lupus erythematosus, with severe diffuse non-scarring alopecia indicating active disease.

This study found that testosterone treatment in older hypogonadal men caused minor improvements in depressive symptoms and visuospatial memory, but overall, major cognitive benefits were not observed.

This meta-analysis confirmed associations between some androgenic and metabolic parameters in women with PCOS, suggesting that these measurements might help predict metabolic risk in this population.

This review found that low-level laser therapy significantly increased hair density in adults with androgenic alopecia compared to sham treatments, with greater effects observed at lower treatment frequencies.

This study reviewed existing articles to assess the efficacy of topical diphenylcyclopropenone immunotherapy for alopecia areata, but it did not report new clinical results.

This study found that early-onset baldness in African-American men is associated with an increased risk of developing prostate cancer and more aggressive tumors, with potential interactions involving age and smoking.

This paper reviews the role of pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic modeling in drug development, emphasizing its application for drug dosing guidance, safety resolution, and therapeutic monitoring improvement, without presenting new clinical results.

This study found that individuals with lichen planopilaris reported lower quality of life and self-esteem and higher depression scores compared to healthy controls.

This study found that the prevalence of PCOS in Thai adolescents was 5.29%, with moderate acne identified as the strongest associated risk factor.

This minireview discusses the mechanisms of facial aging, examines current literature, and proposes filler injection protocols, but it reports no new clinical results.

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 found a significant association between patients' sex of rearing and external genitalia in those with gonadal dysgenesis, while noting lower testosterone levels compared to controls.

This study found that trichoscopy is essential for evaluating the severity of alopecia areata and predicting treatment responses, contributing to more personalized patient management.

This study found that male pattern baldness may serve as a clinical marker for circulating sex hormone levels in men with localized prostate cancer, while chest hair density showed no significant hormone association.

This study found that certain male pattern baldness subtypes at age 45 are associated with an increased risk of developing colorectal neoplasia.

This study found that men with androgenetic alopecia at age 20 years may have a higher risk of developing aggressive prostate cancer, particularly advanced stage disease.

This study found that oligo-amenorrhea/menstrual irregularity in women is associated with an increased risk of overall cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease, and myocardial infarction, while evidence linking hyperandrogenism or polycystic ovaries to cardiovascular disease remains mixed or unexplored.

This study reported that the most reliable way to differentiate alopecia areata from androgenic alopecia is by detecting intrafollicular CD3 and CD8 cell density, with CD3 being the most specific and sensitive marker.

This study found that dermatologists in the southeastern U.S. often offer less frequent treatment for children with alopecia areata compared to adults, with more treatment also recommended for more advanced stages of hair loss.

In this study, low-dose naltrexone significantly reduced erythema in patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia and lichen planopilaris after one year, but no significant improvements were seen in other symptoms.
