In this study, researchers reported that hardshell capsules using the DiluCap® line of excipients demonstrated varying dissolution profiles under gastrointestinal-simulating conditions, with minoxidil and finasteride showing rapid release and melatonin and naltrexone displaying controlled release, indicating their suitability for different applications in compounding pharmacies.

This study created a humanized mouse model of hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets that lacks alopecia, indicating the mutant receptor's potential to explore the syndrome's characteristics beyond vitamin D binding.

This cohort study observed a bidirectional association between alopecia areata and migraine in Taiwanese patients, indicating that individuals with one condition have a higher risk of developing the other.

This study evaluated the stability of multiple active ingredients in TrichoSol™ for use in alopecia treatments, finding varying stability durations at room temperature—up to 180 days for some ingredients—supporting its use as a compounding vehicle in personalized therapies.

This study detected a significant association between finasteride use and sexual dysfunction, particularly in younger patients with alopecia, suggesting that indication and reporting stimulation may influence the observed signal.

This study found significant signals of sexual dysfunction associated with finasteride use, particularly in younger patients treated for alopecia, though confounding factors may partly contribute to reported cases.

This study in a California safety net hospital found no apparent increase in alopecia areata incidence among individuals who received COVID-19 vaccination compared to those unvaccinated, with odds ratios indicating a lower risk in the vaccinated group.

This study explored the preformulation of a caffeine-containing shampoo for treating androgenic alopecia and found the formulation to be stable and viable for compounding.

This study identified ten key magistral dermatological formulations, such as personalized trichological preparations and Kligman’s formula, which fill critical gaps unmet by standardized products, particularly in cases like pediatric scabies or autoimmune mucosal diseases, illustrating the role of compounding in precision medicine.

This study evaluated the quality of 5% Minoxidil samples and found that only one out of three magistral formulations met acceptance criteria, highlighting the need for stricter quality control in custom pharmacy preparations to ensure their therapeutic efficacy.

This study found that veterans with obstructive sleep apnea were nearly twice as likely to develop herpes zoster compared to those without the condition.

This study found a significant association between finasteride use and reports of sexual dysfunction, particularly greater in young men using it for alopecia compared to older BPH patients.

This review discusses the cardiovascular risks associated with anabolic-androgenic steroid use and reports that, despite known toxic effects, further research is needed to clarify the causality of these risks.

This meta-analysis concluded that 5α-reductase inhibitors may increase the risk of mild depression, particularly with dutasteride, in patients treated for benign prostatic hyperplasia and androgenic alopecia.

This study found that ATR-FTIR spectroscopy combined with machine learning effectively differentiated alopecia areata patients from healthy controls with an AUC of 0.85, and also showed promise in predicting treatment response, particularly through alterations in the Amide I band.

Using a microscope during hair transplants cuts damage to follicles in half and could improve hair growth.

This study identified an association between premature hair greying and larger waist circumference among young healthy subjects.

This cross-sectional study reported that adults with greater hair loss severity had significantly higher odds of hypertension, diabetes, and cardiometabolic multimorbidity, suggesting a possible link between hair loss and cardiometabolic health.

This study found that in Korean patients, cardiovascular disease-related risk was significantly associated with male sex, moderate to severe androgenetic alopecia, and particularly FV-type alopecia.

This letter highlights that the effectiveness of skin self-photography for melanoma detection has not been evaluated, although it could be a cost-effective option for patients without access to professional skin photography.

This review discusses the current role and challenges of compounding in dermatology without presenting new research results; the authors suggest its resurgence in practice despite pharmaceutical alternatives.

This study found that trichodynia is associated with both peripheral and central sensitization, potentially linked to hair cycle abnormalities and chronic pain through proinflammatory agents.

This study details a method for assessing the risk of modifications to pharmaceutical frame formulations by assigning a risk priority number using Failure Modes Effects Analysis, which estimates the severity and probability of changes impacting the formulation.

This study found that chronic administration of finasteride affected the isotopic composition of testosterone and nandrolone metabolites, impacting the drug-testing outcomes in athletic contexts.

This narrative review concludes that long-term randomized controlled trials are needed to establish clear guidelines for testosterone therapy in women, given the lack of FDA-approved formulations and the variable quality of current treatments.

Darker hair may lead to higher cortisol readings, suggesting a need to adjust for hair color in studies.

This analysis concluded that the evidence does not establish a cause-and-effect relationship between iron intake and the maintenance of normal hair growth in non-menopausal women with excessive hair loss.

This review discusses the topical use of systemic drugs for cutaneous disorders and reports a lack of strong evidence from randomized controlled trials, highlighting the need for larger comparative effectiveness studies.

In this study, researchers aim to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of combining plum-blossom needle tapping with ginger juice rubbing to prevent hair loss in obese women after metabolic bariatric surgery, through a randomized controlled trial involving 96 participants.
