This article reviews the role of diet in various skin disorders and suggests that dietary changes may aid in managing certain conditions, though it reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that combining platelet-rich plasma with adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells significantly improved diabetic wound healing in rats by enhancing angiogenesis and modulating the Notch signaling pathway.

This study found that a topical combination of 0.25% finasteride and 3% minoxidil may increase hair diameter more effectively than 3% minoxidil alone in postmenopausal women with female pattern hair loss.

This study developed a standardized questionnaire to measure patient-perceived changes in hair growth and appearance, which showed significant favoring of active treatment over placebo in a clinical trial for male androgenetic alopecia.

This study presents case reports of four patients with alopecia areata or alopecia universalis, highlighting varied responses to treatments like prednisone, intralesional triamcinolone, and squaric acid dibutyl ester.

In this randomized, double-blind trial, researchers observed that low-level laser therapy led to significantly greater hair regrowth on treated areas compared to a sham treatment in patients with androgenetic alopecia over 24 weeks, suggesting it as a potentially effective and safe option.

This study developed the Women's Androgenetic Alopecia Quality of Life Questionnaire, which shows high reliability and internal consistency for assessing the impact of AGA on women's quality of life.

This review outlines a systematic method for diagnosing hair loss and presents no new findings; the authors emphasize the importance of biopsy in cicatricial alopecia cases.

This study observed that long-term use of 3% topical minoxidil for androgenetic alopecia resulted in sustained hair regrowth for most patients, although hair counts declined between 12 and 30 months.

This study found that body hair transplantation using follicular unit extraction was effective and resulted in high satisfaction among selected patients with limited scalp donor hair.

This study found that exposure to finasteride impaired spermatogenesis in male Xenopus laevis by affecting sex-specific feedback mechanisms in the hypothalamus–pituitary–gonad axis.

This case report describes a 24-year-old woman with androgenetic alopecia who developed sensitivity to topical minoxidil and later to saw palmetto after using a minoxidil and retinoic acid preparation.

This preliminary study observed that topical nitrogen mustard was beneficial for only 1 out of 6 patients with extensive alopecia areata, with 4 patients not completing the trial.

This study identified Activin A and follistatin as key regulators of hair cell differentiation in the mammalian auditory sensory epithelium, with Activin A signaling influencing the timing and pattern of cell differentiation.

This review discusses the effects of 5ARI drugs on male reproductive parameters, reporting potential decreases in sperm count and motility more significantly in men with pre-existing oligozoospermia, but does not provide fertility outcomes.

The document explains various skin conditions in cats and how to diagnose and treat them.

This review discusses the evaluation of hyperandrogenemia in women and hypogonadism in men across different life stages and presents biomarkers used for diagnosing male hypogonadism, reporting no new clinical results.

This study found that transdermal DHT treatment increased penile length in boys with 5α-reductase type 2 deficiency, but post-pubertal growth was limited and carried potential prostate complications.

This review highlights new treatment options for hair restoration, including platelet-rich plasma and stem cell therapy, which have shown efficacy in increasing hair count and density for androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata, but presents no original clinical data.

This abstract reports an influenzalike illness with varying antibody titers observed in a woman and her husband, but it does not provide broader clinical findings.

This study suggests that combination therapies including minoxidil with either finasteride, low-level laser light therapy, or microneedling are more effective than minoxidil alone for treating androgenetic alopecia.

This study developed the Alopecia Areata Patient Priority Outcome (AAPPO), a new tool designed to measure and capture the symptoms and impacts of alopecia areata that matter most to patients.

In this study, microneedling with a depth of 0.6 mm, alongside minoxidil, significantly improved hair count and thickness in patients with androgenetic alopecia compared to minoxidil alone, and was more beneficial than a 1.2 mm depth.

This study observed that zinc deficiency in humans and mice was associated with diminished allergic contact dermatitis but increased severity and duration of irritant contact dermatitis.

This abstract explains that androgenetic alopecia, a common hair loss disorder influenced by genetics and hormones like dihydrotestosterone, has FDA-approved treatments including minoxidil, finasteride, and photolaser therapy, but its genetic basis and susceptibility to environmental factors remain complex.

This report describes nine women who were allergic to topical minoxidil but successfully tolerated low-dose oral minoxidil without significant adverse effects, suggesting it may be a viable alternative for those with similar allergies.

This review found that supplements containing saw palmetto may improve hair quality and density in patients with androgenetic alopecia and telogen effluvium, but more large-scale RCTs are needed for conclusive evidence.

This article reviews the safety of finasteride by examining existing literature and does not report new findings, highlighting the ongoing controversies regarding its adverse effects.

This article describes a case of possible kerosene and diesel-induced skin injury in an asylum seeker and presents a template for dermatological assessments in similar cases, but reports no new clinical findings.

This case report describes a 37-year-old woman whose recurrent hair shedding was associated with low iron stores and a miscarriage, with improvements seen after increased iron intake.
