This retrospective audit found that patients with alopecia areata often experience significant psychological distress, yet proper mental health assessments and referrals to support services are infrequently conducted, highlighting a gap between current practice and guideline recommendations for comprehensive care.

In this case report, a patient required more local anesthetic than usual for hair transplant surgery, which the authors suggest may be due to cannabis use impacting pain sensitivity and anesthetic clearance.

This article discusses laboratory and physical markers that may help detect androgenic anabolic steroid abuse in athletes and reports no new primary research results.

In this case report, two women with chronic alopecia areata and acute alopecia universalis experienced sustained and near-complete hair regrowth after over a year of treatment with oral ruxolitinib, without significant side effects.

This study found that estradiol transdermal patches helped many MTF patients achieve target estrogen levels, especially those who could not reach these levels with oral therapy and those at higher thrombotic risk.

This study presents a rapid method for detecting multiple xenobiotics in urine, effectively identifying 45 compounds banned in sports with detection limits below WADA's performance levels.

This study reported the development of a novel and reliable liquid chromatographic method to measure testosterone and epitestosterone in human urine, offering sensitive detection for doping control.

In this study, researchers found that taking Saw palmetto and Pygeum africana supplements for five days altered the urinary steroid profile in a way that may interfere with the steroidal module of the Athlete Biological Passport.

This study used a zebrafish model and advanced mass spectrometry to identify 11 metabolites of epristeride, revealing significant effects on purine metabolism and aromatic amino acid biosynthesis, which may aid in developing anti-doping detection methods.

This paper reviews strategies to enhance the effectiveness of topical drug delivery by addressing skin barrier challenges, optimizing drug delivery systems, and personalizing treatment approaches, highlighting both current advancements and limitations in the field.

This systematic review found that hair loss was more frequently observed in acne patients on isotretinoin doses ≥0.5 mg/kg/d compared to those on lower doses, suggesting dose-dependent effects.

This narrative review concludes that long-term randomized controlled trials are needed to establish clear guidelines for testosterone therapy in women, given the lack of FDA-approved formulations and the variable quality of current treatments.

This study found that the yeast androgen screen (YAS) could detect the activity of methyltestosterone in urine for a longer period than classical GC/MS, potentially identifying long-lasting metabolites.

This article discusses the inaugural andrology issue of Reviews in Endocrine & Metabolic Disorders, reporting no new clinical findings but showcasing review articles on andrology by international experts.

This study found that 5% topical minoxidil solution led to greater hair regrowth in severe alopecia areata patients compared to 1% minoxidil, although most regrowth was not cosmetically acceptable.

The review concluded that better studies are needed to prove if Low-Level Laser Therapy devices for hair growth really work.

This study on alopecia areata meta-analyses highlights the risk of misleading results when ineffective, unsafe, or unapproved dosing regimens are included, recommending methodological safeguards to ensure accurate data interpretation and avoid inappropriate causal inferences.

This review discusses the consensus reached by international experts on guidelines for prescribing and monitoring low-dose oral minoxidil for hair loss, and reports no new clinical results.

No specific results are reported in this abstract, but it mentions that minoxidil is mainly used for hypertension that does not respond to other treatments due to side effects like tachycardia, fluid retention, and hypertrichosis.

This ruling by the UK Court of Appeal allows patents for pharmaceuticals based on new dosing regimens and can override previous decisions to align with European Patent Office practices.

This review discusses the profound impact of obesity on skin physiology and dermatologic conditions and reports no new experimental results, recommending awareness and treatment strategy development for obesity-associated dermatoses.

This review discusses the molecular basis and clinical implications of primary generalized glucocorticoid resistance and hypersensitivity, attributing them to mutations in the human glucocorticoid receptor gene, and reports no new clinical findings.

Managing skin diseases during pregnancy and postpartum requires careful consideration of treatment safety and dosing to protect both mother and baby.

This article reviews current therapies for exocrine pancreatic insufficiency in chronic pancreatitis, highlighting the challenges in achieving optimal enzyme dosing and the potential need for treatment even in asymptomatic patients.
