In this study, transdermal application of anabolic steroids demonstrated rapid and extended detectability in urine, suggesting potential implications for doping control considerations.

Real-life dosing of biologics for plaque psoriasis often deviates from recommended guidelines, especially for high-need patients.

This review discusses the use of anabolic-androgenic steroids in sports and outlines current methods for detecting urinary steroid doping, particularly testosterone, but reports no new experimental findings.

This study concluded that anabolic-androgenic steroids negatively impact male reproductive health, including reduced testosterone production, impaired sperm production, and increased risk of sexual dysfunction and metabolic issues.

This study found that corporate social responsibility can enhance consumer perceptions of product performance, especially when viewed as motivated by genuine benevolence rather than self-interest.

In this study, 62.1% of Korean patients with chronic dermatologic diseases reported using complementary and alternative medicine, though many were dissatisfied with the results.

In this study, researchers found that AGD1 is crucial for membrane recruitment during root hair development in Arabidopsis thaliana, with its pleckstrin homology domain essential for targeting specific plasma membrane regions.

This study suggests that the patchy thickening and reddish discoloration in rabbit skin during the hair cycle may be due to large anagen-phase hair follicles compressing the dermis and increased blood vessels causing redness.

This review highlights that both human-derived and plant-derived exosomes show anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, with human exosomes being better for targeted medicinal treatments due to their ability to transport healing drugs, while plant exosomes are more scalable and cost-effective for cosmetic applications.

In this six-year study of a Saudi cohort, oral tofacitinib showed favorable long-term effectiveness for patients with AA, with manageable adverse events requiring regular monitoring.

This study developed and validated a high-resolution mass spectrometry method to screen for prohibited substances and analyze six endogenous steroids in urine according to World Antidoping Agency requirements, demonstrating its effectiveness for antidoping analysis.

This review highlights how forensic drug analysis in hair using modern instrumental techniques offers advantages such as easy sample collection and chronological tracking of drug use, emphasizing its value for law enforcement and other applications.

This study reports that the TrichoScan method effectively measures hair growth parameters and detected significant improvements in hair counts and thickness in men with androgenetic alopecia after finasteride treatment.

In this study, divalproex sodium extended-release was found to be more tolerable and preferred by patients compared to the delayed-release formulation, with improved seizure control and psychiatric symptom relief.

This study found increasing public interest in hair loss treatments on YouTube, but reported that videos with high viewer engagement are often biased towards promoting dermatology and hair restoration clinics.
