In this animal study, petroleum ether and ethanolic extracts of Abrus precatorius seeds appeared to reverse androgen-induced alopecia in male albino rats by inhibiting the 5α-reductase enzyme, similar to finasteride.

This study reported that the pseudoceramide bis-oleamido isopropyl alcohol (BOI) promotes hair growth in ex vivo cultured human hair follicles, likely by enhancing sphingolipid synthesis in dermal papilla cells.

This study found that 11α-hydroxyprogesterone is a potent inhibitor of 11βHSD2 in vitro and may serve as a precursor to unique C11α-hydroxy steroids in prostate cancer tissue.

This review discusses studies on hair growth and protein synthesis in hair follicles, highlighting the differing responses of mohair and cashmere goat follicles to signaling molecules, biotin, and amino acids, but contains no new results.

This study demonstrated that both classical and atypical BSE strains from cattle can be transmitted to goats, highlighting the importance of surveillance in protecting public health.

Anti-androgens are effective for female acne but less so for male-pattern hair loss, with side effects similar to birth control pills.

Naproxen is not the cause of hair loss in a child; it's due to a toxic event with expected hair regrowth.

In a rat model of benign prostatic hyperplasia, this study found that purple corn extract may improve symptoms by inhibiting prostate enlargement, reducing androgen receptor signaling, and exerting anti-inflammatory effects.

This review discusses clinical variations, laboratory testing, and treatments for female-pattern alopecia, including finasteride, but reports no new clinical findings; the authors emphasize managing stress and psychological impacts.

This case report describes a 2-month-old infant with a severe seborrhea-like skin eruption and respiratory distress, similar to symptoms that led to a sibling's death from Gram-negative septicemia.

This study found that in vitro environments simulating testosterone levels in elderly males, testosterone and its metabolite DHT significantly reduced macrophages' ability to phagocytize MRSA and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, suggesting AR manipulation and inhibiting testosterone-DHT conversion might help fight wound infections in the elderly.

In this case report, the researchers emphasize the importance of regular prostate exams and PSA tests for diabetic men, including those who are hypogonadal, because prostate cancer development is linked to intraprostatic dihydrotestosterone levels, not serum testosterone levels.

This study analyzed the structure and dynamics of ketoconazole, revealing how its molecular characteristics, such as spin-lattice relaxation time and chemical shift anisotropy, are influenced by π-π stacking interactions and different carbon site environments.

Botulinum toxin injections can reduce hair loss and stimulate new hair growth in some men with male pattern baldness.

This article discusses the newly approved drug dutasteride for managing benign prostatic hyperplasia, but reports no new research findings; the authors advise obtaining complete information before prescribing.

This chapter reviews the epidemiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in children, but presents no new clinical results.

This article reviews treatment options for female-pattern hair loss, noting the limited evidence for most therapies and emphasizing that topical minoxidil remains the only well-supported option despite a significant non-response rate.

This review discusses caffeine's potential role in treating androgenetic alopecia by counteracting DHT effects on hair follicles and enhancing cell proliferation, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that DPCP treatment led to cosmetically acceptable hair regrowth in 38% of patients with chronic severe alopecia areata, while adding 5% minoxidil showed no significant clinical benefit.

This study found that using nanoporous silica entrapped lipid-drug complexes enhanced the solubility and bioavailability of dutasteride in beagle dogs.

This study observed that PCOS patients from migration or minority backgrounds often face lower quality of life, higher depression rates, and reduced self-esteem, suggesting that socioeconomic and sociocultural factors may play significant roles.

This study observed that adult offspring of sperm donation generally feel positive about their conception method and believe identifying information about donors should be accessible.

This study developed and validated a precise RP-HPLC method for simultaneously estimating minoxidil and aminexil in pharmaceutical formulations with good accuracy and specificity.

This study evaluated AI chatbots' responses to scabies-related questions, finding DeepSeek had the highest accuracy despite higher hallucination rates, while ChatGPT-5.2 provided more readable and reliable information, highlighting variability and the need for cautious use of AI in health queries.

In this case-control study, researchers observed that smoking and lighter hair color significantly increased the risk of developing androgenetic alopecia, with older individuals and women showing higher prevalence rates, while hair thickness and shape were not linked to increased alopecia risk.

This study found that Erica multiflora extract promotes hair growth by enhancing dermal papilla cell activity and shifting hair follicles from the telogen to the anagen phase in both in vitro and in vivo models.

This review discusses emerging evidence on azathioprine's efficacy and safety for severe alopecia areata, reporting sustained response in many patients but emphasizing the need for controlled trials.

The man's scalp tightness after hair surgery affects his life and work, and it's unclear if it's due to the surgery or a mental health issue.

This review discusses the challenges of using surrogate variables versus primary clinical end-points in PCOS trials and reports no new research results; the authors suggest focusing future studies on primary outcomes.

This review summarizes various treatment options for polycystic ovary syndrome, noting that while some treatments address specific symptoms, no single therapy fully resolves the condition.
