This review discusses the causes and management of hirsutism, recommending low-dose oral contraceptives with flutamide over cyproterone-containing preparations, but reports no new clinical findings.

This case report describes a 28-year-old woman with facial, abdominal, and thigh hirsutism who showed little improvement after 5 months of Metformin and spironolactone treatment.

This study reports a successful combination treatment for phospho-organic compound poisoning, using standard therapy with atropine and toxogonin along with exogenous cholinesterases via blood transfusion, showing positive outcomes in patients whose endogenous cholinesterase levels dropped to 20%.

This report documented a case of thrombocytopenia and leukopenia linked to the long-term use of itraconazole in a patient with acute myelogenous leukemia.

This case report describes a child with alopecia areata and atopic dermatitis who showed significant improvement after treatment with baricitinib and corticosteroid ointment, suggesting their potential efficacy and safety.

Chemotherapy with docetaxel and cisplatin can cause severe low potassium, requiring careful monitoring and treatment.

This study evaluated two cases of individualised homoeopathic treatment for alopecia areata and found that Phosphorus treatment resulted in complete hair regrowth and symptom resolution over 18 months.

This case report describes ALP elevation in a patient with severe OA that normalized after bilateral knee replacements, highlighting a potential link between OA and ALP levels.

This study observed that laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy significantly reduced BMI and helped improve or eliminate certain obesity-related comorbidities over six months, with a low incidence of postoperative complications.

This study found that using a standardized protocol with microspheres of approximately 1.5 micrometers enhances penetration into hair follicles, particularly when skin is treated with cyanoacrylate skin surface stripping.

In this study, a syndrome of zinc deficiency was observed in adults receiving intravenous feeding, with zinc supplementation improving symptoms except for delayed hair regrowth.

This study found that in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia, a 3-month treatment with a long-acting GnRH agonist significantly reduced intraprostatic DHT and 3α-diol levels by about 90% and testosterone by about 75%.

This study concluded that finasteride, cyproterone acetate, and flutamide were similarly effective at reducing hirsutism in women, though they acted through different mechanisms.

This study observed a significant increase in certain dermatologic conditions a month and two months after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in Turkey, which may suggest a link with asymptomatic COVID-19 infection.

In this retrospective study, cyproterone acetate treatment in late-pubertal trans-girls was found to be generally safe and led to mild feminizing effects, with more rapid feminization occurring when combined with estrogens.

This study found that minoxidil penetration through the skin increased with higher ethanol content and occlusion, with the highest penetration observed at 90% ethanol.

This study concluded that spironolactone may be an effective therapy for a subgroup of hirsute patients, as it reduced plasma testosterone and improved certain hair growth measures.

This study found that a lower maintenance dose of flutamide (125 mg/day) effectively maintained the reduction in hirsutism achieved with an initial higher dose (250 mg/day) in women, without additional side effects.

Methylmercury accumulates in mouse hair during growth, then decreases when growth stops.

This study found that phosphorus limitation in Chaetophorales strains led to enhanced hair formation and increased phosphatase activity, suggesting a significant relationship between phosphorus status and morphology.

This study reported that 70.1% of kidney transplant recipients experienced persistent symptoms of post-COVID-19 syndrome six months after infection, with older patients and those with more comorbidities being more affected.

This study found that urinary selenium to creatinine ratio and serum selenium concentrations quickly respond to changes in dietary selenium, making them useful biomarkers for assessing selenium status in dogs.

In this study, brief ultrasound exposure reduced the follicular contribution to hydrocortisone absorption while significantly increasing total skin permeability, likely due to removal of the upper stratum corneum.

This study observed a significant reduction in dermatology inpatient admissions in Hubei post-COVID-19 lockdown, with increased severity in cases among patients who did seek care.

This study found that an oral testosterone formulation normalized serum testosterone levels and significantly reduced SHBG in men with experimentally induced hypogonadism after nine days of treatment, suggesting potential efficacy for testosterone deficiency.

This study found that a dietary change in common marmosets significantly reduced in vitro erythrocyte haemolysis, improved skin lesions, and promoted complete fur regrowth, possibly due to increased vitamin E levels.

This study found that oral pulse steroids significantly reduced serum and tissue levels of TNF-α in patients with alopecia areata, correlating with clinical improvement.

This study found that both spironolactone with Ovysmen and cyproterone acetate with ethinyloestradiol significantly reduced hair growth in hirsute women, with no difference in effect between treatments.

This source notes that while low-dose oral minoxidil is effective for treating androgenetic alopecia, it has been associated with electrocardiogram changes and palpitations even at low doses.
