This study found that both finasteride and dutasteride significantly reduced L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia in a rat model of Parkinson's disease, with dutasteride showing greater effectiveness at lower doses.

This study suggests that 5-ADIOL-S may contribute to the synthesis of potent androgens in peripheral tissues, and 3 alpha-DIOL-S could be a marker of androgen metabolism in various female patient groups.

This paper discusses the potential of PSA doubling time after radical prostatectomy to predict overall survival but reports no new results.

This study found that both ciclosporin A and topical therapy were effective in reducing alopecia and scaling in dogs with idiopathic sebaceous adenitis, with evidence suggesting improved outcomes when both treatments are combined.

This case report suggests that exacerbations of alopecia areata in a 40-year-old woman may be associated with sodium tetradecyl sulphate foam sclerotherapy treatments for varicose veins.

In this study, researchers found that skin diseases like atopic dermatitis, acne, and psoriasis are associated with increased odds of alcohol use disorder, with psychiatric conditions such as anxiety and depression partially mediating this relationship, accounting for up to 80% of the risk.

This study evaluated the potential toxicity of oral dihydroartemisinin in SD rats, finding that female rats experienced greater toxic effects than males, particularly at higher doses, but these effects were reversible after a 4-week recovery period.

This study reported that continuous intravenous dextran sulfate was toxic and ineffective as a treatment for symptomatic HIV infection, as it did not improve surrogate markers and caused significant side effects.

This study aimed to identify the factors that influence the clinical severity of scalp seborrheic dermatitis, although specific results are not reported.

In this phase 2 trial, STS01 1% significantly improved hair regrowth in patients with mild to moderate patchy alopecia areata compared to placebo, with a manageable skin irritation side effect profile.

This case report describes a 14-year-old female patient with both Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Diabetes Mellitus, highlighting the rarity of this combination and the importance of thorough evaluation to accurately diagnose and predict the clinical course of the disease.
