This study found that non-bleeding adverse events associated with NOACs affect multiple organ systems, emphasizing the importance of clinical vigilance. Specific NOACs like dabigatran, apixaban, edoxaban, and rivaroxaban were linked to distinct adverse reactions, including metabolic imbalances, thyroid disorders, and menstrual irregularities.

This chapter reviews the challenges and future prospects of using nanotechnology and phytochemistry in developing safe, effective, and precision-based therapies for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, without reporting new clinical findings.

This opinion piece discusses strategies for managing cancer-related alopecia, emphasizing personalized approaches including scalp cooling and topical minoxidil, but it reports no new clinical results.

This review highlights recent advances in dermatology, including innovations in skin cancer treatments, acne and psoriasis management, trends in cosmetic procedures, and the impact of telemedicine, emphasizing ongoing research's role in enhancing patient care and outcomes.

This study found that Allium ascalonicum L. extract may improve insulin resistance by increasing insulin tolerance test values and lowering blood glucose levels, though more research is needed to understand its effects on metabolic disorders.

This study explores how Astragaloside A from traditional Chinese medicine may combat lung adenocarcinoma by regulating key signaling molecules like STAT3 and AKT, using techniques such as network pharmacology and molecular docking to understand its mechanisms in cellular models.

This study examined data from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System and found that finasteride use is linked with both known and previously unlisted adverse events, such as erectile dysfunction and post-5α reductase inhibitor syndrome, with variations observed by age and sex.

This study outlines the potential of drug repurposing to discover new uses for existing medications, emphasizing its cost-effectiveness, efficiency, and ability to address rare diseases by targeting novel biological mechanisms and relying on established safety profiles.

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 study discusses the role of Janus kinase inhibitors in treating severe alopecia areata, highlighting their potential to personalize treatment and improve patient quality of life, while addressing concerns about disease relapse after stopping treatment and the safety of long-term use.

In this randomized, double-blind study of 24 participants with hair loss, the combination of bromelain and finasteride increased hair count, thickness, and density significantly more than finasteride alone or a placebo cream, while reducing inflammatory markers.

In this study, a herbal preparation inhibited the conversion of testosterone to DHT and its binding on hair roots in vitro, suggesting potential as an alternative treatment for androgenic alopecia without the safety concerns associated with finasteride.

Among adult male rats, this study found that combined exposure to lithium carbonate and lead acetate over 28 days led to synergistic cardiotoxic effects, evidenced by oxidative stress, ECG abnormalities, and molecular markers of increased apoptosis, despite no observable structural damage to myocardial tissue.

This review explores the challenges of treating chronic wounds and highlights regenerative medicine as a promising approach, emphasizing the roles of growth factors, stem cell therapies, and novel regenerative treatments in improving wound healing and tissue regeneration.

This report details a six-month internship experience, split between hospital and community pharmacy settings, which enhanced practical skills and theoretical knowledge in pharmaceutical care and highlighted the pharmacist's role in ensuring safe medication use.

This article reviews treatment options for Alopecia Areata, concluding that topical corticosteroids are effective for mild cases, while systemic therapies are advised for moderate to severe cases.

In this report, the author shares experiences from a six-month curricular internship, highlighting activities such as arterial pressure monitoring in a community pharmacy and addressing off-label rituximab use at a hospital, alongside discussions of hair loss treatments and nutritional supplementation for dysphagia in the elderly.

This study reviewed existing literature on Androgenetic Alopecia treatments, finding that minoxidil promotes hair growth but can cause side effects due to its traditional formulations. Novel delivery systems like film-forming sprays may reduce these side effects and enhance efficacy.

This review highlights the positive effects of platelet-rich plasma in aesthetic and regenerative medicine, particularly for skin rejuvenation, anti-aging, hair reconstruction, and wound healing, but it reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the potential for surface-modified nanostructured lipid carriers to enhance hair regrowth by improving drug absorption and stability, focusing on their use with agents like minoxidil and finasteride for hair loss treatment.

In this study, both topical minoxidil and latanoprost were found to improve dermoscopic features of alopecia areata, with latanoprost showing superior effectiveness; minor side effects included erythema and itching.

This study concluded that monthly intralesional autologous platelet-rich plasma therapy significantly decreased alopecia areata severity over four months compared to daily 5% topical minoxidil therapy.

This report details the experiences gained during a pharmacy internship in both hospital and community settings, highlighting the preparation of sildenafil suspensions for hospital use, patient consultations on autoimmune conditions, and educational material creation in community pharmacy, alongside insights into diabetes and ADHD treatments.

This review discusses the multifactorial pathogenesis of acne and current treatment strategies including the use of isotretinoin and spironolactone, but reports no new clinical results.

This literature review suggests that platelet-rich plasma therapy shows promise for improving hair density and patient satisfaction in men with androgenetic alopecia, though standardized protocols are still needed.

This study found that while the over-the-counter market for minoxidil hair loss products is expanding, only 25% of these products report safety information, and none report adverse effects, highlighting a need for greater transparency and accuracy in their advertising.

This study found that administering an alcoholic extract of Mentha spicata leaves significantly reduced testosterone levels and aggressive behavior in female rats with elevated testosterone, suggesting its potential protective role against such symptoms.
