Cromolyn sodium's effectiveness for treating asthma in children under 2 is unclear, possibly more beneficial for older children, and further research is needed.

This article discusses ovarian steroid cell tumors, which can produce testosterone and manifest symptoms like hirsutism, emphasizing surgery as the primary treatment, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found no baseline factors that predicted flibanserin efficacy for HSDD, though low testosterone or use of hormonal contraceptives were associated with reduced efficacy.

This study reported the development of two highly sensitive ELISA assays to detect banned substances finasteride and dutasteride in human urine, offering better sensitivity than existing HPLC/MS/MS methods.

This study found that oligo-amenorrhea/menstrual irregularity in women is associated with an increased risk of overall cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease, and myocardial infarction, while evidence linking hyperandrogenism or polycystic ovaries to cardiovascular disease remains mixed or unexplored.

This study found that women with PCOS reported higher overall psychological distress, but there was no significant link between their perceived hirsutism and this distress.

This study outlines the Human Gene Correlation Analysis tool, which classifies human genes by coexpression levels and identifies overrepresented annotation terms in correlated gene groups, with no new clinical results reported.

This review found that among emerging technologies for skin anti-aging, stem cell therapies using recipient chimerism might be more beneficial than CRISPR-Cas9 and other current innovations, though further studies on safety and efficacy are needed.

This review and meta-analysis found that isotretinoin is an effective treatment for dissecting cellulitis of the scalp, with a high estimated efficacy rate of 90%, yet 24% of patients experienced recurrence after successful treatment.

In this study, the safety of finasteride in rats varied depending on dosing time, while its effectiveness on prostate weight reduction remained consistent.

In this review and meta-analysis, the authors concluded that 5α-reductase inhibitor therapy is not consistently associated with significant increases in serum testosterone levels in men.

This Cochrane review found no clear superiority among treatments for central serous chorioretinopathy, with low-dose photodynamic therapy, supplements, and eplerenone showing slightly higher probabilities of improving visual acuity, but evidence remains uncertain due to biases and small study sizes.

This study found that JAK inhibitors effectively improve alopecia areata outcomes, as indicated by SALT scores, but they were associated with an increased risk of adverse effects, with 921 out of 1508 patients experiencing adverse reactions.

This study found no statistically significant protective effect of antioxidant therapy against acute mountain sickness, though results were inconclusive due to limited data and methodological variability.

This systematic review and meta-analysis found that platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is effective in increasing hair density and reducing hair loss for alopecia, with variations in response based on activation status.

This study compared JAK inhibitors for moderate-to-severe alopecia areata and found brepocitinib 30mg and deuruxolitinib 12mg to be most effective, though deuruxolitinib may cause more adverse events. Further research is needed for long-term efficacy and safety.

This study observed a 31% decrease in antidepressant use among patients who were preoperatively taking such medication, suggesting cosmetic surgery may influence antidepressant needs.

This study models the pathways of nandrolone and its metabolites in the body and suggests methods to counteract finasteride's role in enabling PED users to cheat drug tests.

This study developed a method to measure local steroid hormone concentrations in hair, providing new insights into hormone dynamics associated with androgenetic alopecia.

This study found that low-level laser therapy was the most effective non-surgical treatment for androgenetic alopecia, although the overall quality of evidence supporting various therapies was generally low.

This study found that curcumin may improve glycemic control and certain aspects of lipid metabolism in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome.

This study observed significant inter- and intra-individual variability in serum testosterone levels among women treated with subcutaneous testosterone implants, suggesting that therapy should be guided by clinical response rather than single serum measurements.

This study identified disproportionate reporting of several serious unknown or less documented adverse events associated with biologics for severe asthma, suggesting the need for further safety assessments.

This study revealed significant signals of drug-related cognitive disorders in several medications that lack relevant FDA label warnings, suggesting a need for increased clinical awareness and potential label updates.

This study in Iraq highlights significant links between COVID-19 outcomes and factors such as gender, education, age, and social behaviors, underscoring the importance of preventive measures and targeted interventions to enhance pandemic response.

This study found that extracellular vesicles derived from mesenchymal stem cells and umbilical cord blood plasma enhanced wound healing and reduced scar formation in mice, suggesting their potential as therapeutic agents for skin repair.

In this study, content analysis of German YouTube videos revealed that women frequently experience both positive and negative symptoms related to oral contraceptive use and discontinuation, with bodily sensations often influencing their decisions to start or stop the pill.

In this study, only a subset of proposed biomarkers universally responded to priming in mesenchymal stromal cells, suggesting limited utility for standardized potency assays across different MSC types and conditions.

This study reviews methods to ensure the reliability of machine learning models in medical imaging, focusing on bias detection, data drift assessment, and accuracy estimation without ground truth labels to enhance integration into clinical settings.

In this study, the researchers developed and optimized a curcumin nanocrystal gel to enhance skin permeability, reporting improved dissolution properties and antiproliferative effects on cell lines, suggesting it as a promising topical delivery system.
