This study found that infectious skin diseases were prevalent in immigrant Latino poultry processors and manual workers in North Carolina, with tinea pedis and onychomycosis being particularly common.

This meta-analysis found that patients with androgenetic alopecia have significantly abnormal lipid profiles, which could contribute to the link between this condition and cardiovascular diseases.

This review discusses the potential of cell-derived nanovesicles as innovative treatment strategies for hair growth and provides no new clinical results; the authors emphasize the need for further understanding of their mechanisms.

This study evaluated the use of low-level laser therapy for treating androgenic alopecia in adults, finding it a promising and safe at-home option for stimulating hair growth compared to sham devices, though further research is needed to confirm its clinical effectiveness.

This review and meta-analysis found that isotretinoin is an effective treatment for dissecting cellulitis of the scalp, with a high estimated efficacy rate of 90%, yet 24% of patients experienced recurrence after successful treatment.

This study found that policemen aged 40-59 years had a twofold higher prevalence of androgenetic alopecia compared to the general population, with obesity and sunlight exposure contributing to the risk.

This article reviews dermatological problems associated with estrogen deficiency in menopausal women and highlights the importance of dermatologist and gynecologist collaboration, but reports no new clinical results.

This study identified KRT82 as a significant Alopecia Areata risk gene, finding that rare damaging variants are linked to elevated immune cell infiltration around hair follicles in affected individuals.

This study found that men without prostate cancer carrying the A-allele of SNP rs1204038 had a 65% higher risk of PSA levels above 3 ng/mL compared to those with the G-allele, increasing referrals for further examination.

This study found that older men with vertex balding have lower circulating levels of the protein IGFBP-3 and higher levels of IGF-1.

Balding men have harder scalps.

This study found that patients with ovarian metastases from breast cancer had a better prognosis after tumor debulking if they exhibited high estrogen and progesterone receptor expression in both the primary tumor and metastases.

In this study, researchers found that 24.7% of female medical students were diagnosed with PCOS, significantly affecting their academic success and social interactions due to symptoms like BMI abnormalities and acne, suggesting that educators should enhance support and awareness to address these challenges.

This Cochrane Review protocol aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of various treatments for alopecia areata through a network meta-analysis, but no specific study findings are reported yet.

This review systematically analyzed 22 clinical trials on hair care, finding that while most studies employed appropriate statistical methods, significant inconsistencies in reporting test assumptions and effect sizes may hinder reproducibility, highlighting a need for better standardization and transparency in these research practices.

This study systematically reviewed meta-analyses and Mendelian randomization studies to identify factors influencing prostate cancer risk, finding suggestive associations for physical activity, height, and smoking but no robust, convincing overlapping evidence across tested factors.

This study found that certain tandem repeats predict darker hair color across diverse ancestry groups and can contribute to a polygenic score for hair color, independent of SNP variation.

This study reported that a 1% ivermectin topical cream for rosacea was stable over six months, showing no significant changes in key physical properties or microbial contamination, suggesting it may reduce chronic antibiotic use in rosacea treatment.
