The guidelines advise against using testosterone and DHEA in women for most conditions due to safety and effectiveness concerns, but suggest considering testosterone for postmenopausal women with low sexual desire.

This review discusses the complex etiology of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), highlighting its association with insulin resistance and hyperandrogenism, but reports no clinical findings; the authors suggest further investigation of the pathophysiological mechanisms.

This study found that using curated biomedical databases as training examples for information extraction tasks in Genome-Wide Association Studies can outperform cost-insensitive methods, demonstrating their potential use without expert annotation.

Hair loss in women is genetic, diagnosed by examination and biopsy, and treated with minoxidil, finasteride, or transplantation.

In this 48-week trial, 5% topical minoxidil was more effective than both 2% minoxidil and placebo in promoting hair growth in women with female pattern hair loss, with notable improvements in nonvellus hair count and hair growth assessments.

This guideline outlines the management of systemic lupus erythematosus in adults but reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the various treatment options for male and female pattern hair loss and provides no new clinical results; the authors outline the most effective strategies based on existing evidence.

This review discusses the use of antiandrogens like flutamide and its derivatives in prostate cancer treatment and highlights the need for next-generation antiandrogens for improved efficacy; it reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the multifaceted actions of metformin in polycystic ovary syndrome and reports no new clinical results; the authors emphasize metformin's potential benefits in both cardiometabolic and reproductive aspects of PCOS.

In this study, researchers identified 18 genetic associations with scalp and facial hair traits in Latin Americans, including novel loci for hair greying and balding, with implications for understanding hair evolution.

This study found that SZ95 sebocytes and HaCaT keratinocytes exhibit distinct enzyme expressions and activities, implicating their different roles in androgen metabolism and homeostasis in vitro.

In this study, androgen did not affect keratinocyte growth in coculture with androgenetic alopecia-derived dermal papilla cells, but did significantly suppress keratinocyte growth when androgen receptor was overexpressed in the papilla cells.

This review discusses biological sex differences in COVID-19 outcomes and reports no new clinical results; it identifies a need for studies to clarify how sex influences disease progression.

This article discusses the long-standing use and safety of opioids in anaesthesia, noting that respiratory depression is a manageable side effect due to the availability of opioid antagonists.

In this study, minoxidil effectively reduced blood pressure to near normal levels in patients with malignant or accelerated hypertension resistant to conventional treatments, offering a potential alternative to nephrectomy.

This article discusses advancements in understanding how skin stem cells and fibroblasts contribute to scar formation, highlighting current and potential therapies aimed at preventing or reducing scarring, yet notes that effective treatments without significant side effects are still lacking.

This study found that oral isotretinoin achieved good to excellent clinical results in treating severe inflammatory acne, severe rosacea, and gram-negative folliculitis.

This study found that transformation expectations mediate the link between materialism and credit overuse, suggesting that materialism fosters favorable attitudes toward debt and beliefs in life changes through acquisition.

This study found that latanoprost induces significant growth and pigmentation of lashes and ancillary hairs, with effects mirroring both brief and chronic treatments observed in patients and animal models.

This study found that the HairMax LaserComb® significantly increased hair density and was safe and well tolerated for treating androgenetic alopecia in men compared to a sham device.

This study found that severe zinc deficiency induced in weanling rats led to growth retardation, hair issues, and dermal lesions, all of which were completely reversed by zinc supplementation.

This review examines recent advances in understanding the pathophysiology and molecular mechanisms of androgenetic alopecia, highlighting two major genetic risk loci, but does not report new clinical findings.

This review describes minoxidil's hair regrowth mechanism and discusses dermatological applications, but reports no new clinical results, emphasizing the need for regular use and addressing allergic reactions.

This review discusses recent advances in understanding gender differences in skin and their implications for dermatologic diseases, but it reports no new experimental results; ongoing research is necessary for translating these insights into clinical practice.

This review explores the causes and mechanisms of alopecia areata and discusses current treatments, reporting no new clinical findings.

This study found that low-level laser treatment with the HairMax Lasercomb significantly increased terminal hair density in both men and women with pattern hair loss, with no serious adverse events reported.

This study reports that mutations in the SUR2 gene are linked to Cantu syndrome, highlighting the role of KATP channels in cardiovascular health and potential new therapies.

This study found that mice lacking the 1αOHase enzyme, which is responsible for producing a key vitamin D metabolite, showed impaired epidermal differentiation and delayed recovery of skin barrier function after disruption.

Minoxidil promotes hair growth in male pattern baldness.

This study found that disrupting Adam10 in the epidermis led to severe skin and multi-organ abnormalities, implicating Adam10 as crucial for proper Notch signaling and skin maintenance.
