This study found that neonatal administration of finasteride affected adult learning and memory in rats, enhancing object recognition but impairing aversive learning, with no effect on anxiety-like behavior.

This review discusses the potential link between early postnatal allopregnanolone levels and vulnerability to drug abuse in adulthood, noting a need for more in-depth studies to confirm this relationship.

This study found that fluconazole increased water transport in renal cells via effects on aquaporin-2 channels, suggesting potential as a treatment for nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, though clinical trials are needed to confirm efficacy in humans.

In this report, a case of a bullous lesion developed at the injection site in a patient treated with PEG-IFN-α-2a for chronic hepatitis C was described.

This study reports that cutaneous manifestations such as herpes zoster, purpura, and livedo reticularis in COVID-19 patients can potentially indicate disease severity, aiding in the prediction of the illness's progression and guiding dermatological management during the pandemic.

This review analyzed 109 articles to classify skin lesions associated with COVID-19 and their frequency during the disease, but found no conclusive evidence on long-term persistence of specific types due to rarity.

In this study, researchers reported that individuals with post-COVID-19 alopecia experienced a significant impact on their quality of life, particularly in the vitality domain, when compared to those without alopecia.

This paper reviews the links between COVID-19 infection and cutaneous, oral, and periodontal lesions but reports no new clinical findings.

The study reported a 7.80% prevalence of scarring alopecia in Chinese SLE patients and identified several risk factors, including mucocutaneous lesions and high disease activity, while renal and cardio-respiratory involvements were negatively associated with it.

This article reports no new data; it describes the role of sebum in influencing the skin microbiome and epithelial tissues and discusses its altered composition during transit through the sebaceous duct.

This study suggests that personality plays a significant role in how psychological factors influence the onset and progression of alopecia areata, as well as its psychosocial impacts.

In this study conducted in Ilam province, Iran, researchers found that 19.35% of red foxes and 17.85% of jackals were infested with at least one type of ectoparasite, primarily Ctenocephalides canis.

In this study, researchers used single-cell RNA sequencing to map the hair follicle microenvironment in fine-wool sheep, identifying specific cell types and gene expressions that influence wool fiber diameter, with dermal papilla cells playing a significant role in hair follicle development.

This study found that COVID-19 infection disrupts spermatogenesis, alters testicular cell populations, and may impact male fertility by causing long-term changes in testicular function and reduced sperm quality, as observed even in patients who have recovered from the acute phase of the infection.

This study used integrated single-cell chromatin and transcriptomic analyses in developing mouse skin to uncover gene networks involved in skin lineage specification and identified Mef2c+ upper fibroblasts as potential precursors to certain muscle-like structures, with cross-species findings in human skin.

This literature review suggests that hair cell loss in hearing loss is often secondary to preceding morphological and functional defects in hair cells, indicating that interventions should focus on hearing preservation before significant hair cell loss occurs.

This review summarizes the various skin manifestations linked to COVID-19 infection, vaccination, and personal protective equipment, highlighting their clinical importance and discussing psychological stress and social isolation as additional dermatologic factors.

This review explores quercetin's potential in multifunctional theranostic systems, highlighting its bioactivity and the challenges of improving its clinical application through innovative strategies like nanoencapsulation, while noting that research in this area is underdeveloped.

This review highlights the potential of wedelolactone from the plant Wedelia Chinensis, summarizing its reported pharmacological effects, including anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antibacterial, antitumor, anti-osteoporosis activities, and organ protection based on existing in vitro and in vivo research findings.

In this case report, the researchers documented a rare instance of plica neuropathica, characterized by matted and twisted hair, occurring alongside diffuse alopecia, marking the first such documented association and emphasizing its diagnostic challenges in identifying causes of alopecia.

In this retrospective study, researchers found that fungal infections, xerosis, eczematous dermatitis, and seborrheic dermatitis were the most common dermatological findings among patients with Parkinson's disease, Multiple Sclerosis, and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, with significant intergroup differences observed.

This review highlights the hair follicle's structural and functional properties as an effective route for delivering active compounds in treating hair disorders, focusing on emerging carrier technologies to enhance targeted transfollicular delivery.

In this case report, a 2.5-year-old cat with scabies and bacterial pneumonia showed significant improvement in symptoms and hair regrowth following a treatment regimen including ivermectin, amoxicillin with clavulanic acid, diphenhydramine, methylprednisolone, and supportive therapies over 100 days.

This in-silico study found that Finasteride interferes with neurotransmitters and may increase psychopathology when it decomposes into a carboxylic acid similar to Cortisol.

This article reviews current understanding of dermal fibroblasts' structure and function, highlighting their crucial role in connective tissue formation and repair, which is important for selecting effective treatments for age-related skin changes.

This study reviewed existing literature to provide comprehensive insights into diagnosing and managing alopecia areata, emphasizing the importance of understanding its classification, etiology, and the diverse treatment options available for improved patient care.

In this retrospective study, researchers found that baricitinib was effective for treating moderate to severe alopecia areata, with response rates in 24 patients comparable to existing real-world data, and no new safety concerns were identified.

In this cross-sectional study of COVID-19 positive patients in Bangladesh, researchers found that maculo-papular eruptions were the most common dermatological manifestation, with other prevalent conditions including chilblain-like eruptions, urticarial lesions, and petechiae/purpura.
