This article discusses the prevalence of hirsutism in women and highlights that many cases exhibit normal androgen levels, suggesting a need for broader diagnostic approaches.

In this case report, Trichophyton rubrum was isolated from a dog with dermatophytosis, and treatment with ketoconazole shampoo and oral itraconazole led to complete healing and no recurrence in follow-up.

This case study reported the first diagnosis of IFAP syndrome in Brazil with molecular investigation, identifying a rare MBTPS2 gene variant and expanding the known mutational spectrum associated with the condition.

This background review discusses alopecia areata, highlighting the role of CD8+NKG2D+ T cells in hair follicle pathogenesis, and notes that the exact mechanisms causing hair loss remain unclear.

This study found that the gut microbiota composition in patients with post-finasteride syndrome differs significantly from healthy controls, with reduced diversity and specific microbial changes, suggesting a potential diagnostic marker and therapeutic target.

Terazosin and finasteride together cause no major issues.

This study reports that men with androgenic alopecia experience altered neuroactive steroid levels associated with persistent depression symptoms even after stopping finasteride treatment.

This study found that patients with post-finasteride syndrome exhibited major depressive disorder, severe erectile dysfunction, and neuropathy, alongside altered neuroactive steroid levels in cerebrospinal fluid.

Keratin peptides can change hair shape gently without harsh chemicals.

This article reviews various strategies, primarily developed by the Turin University Pharmaceutical Technology group, for increasing entrapment efficiency of hydrophilic molecules in nanoparticulate systems and reports no clinical results.

This study found that a peptide treatment using Protein disulphide isomerase improved the mechanical and thermal properties of over-bleached hair by promoting deeper peptide penetration and attachment.

This study found that keratin-based particles were able to recover and enhance the mechanical properties and thermal stability of virgin and overbleached Asian hair, improving its strength and smoothness by around 40%, and demonstrated safety in human skin keratinocytes.

This study's molecular dynamics simulations suggest that electrostatic interactions mainly stabilize peptide binding to human hair keratin, with the protein's dielectric constant significantly affecting free energy calculations.

This study found that both oral tranexamic acid and microneedling improve melasma treatment outcomes when added to standard therapy, with microneedling showing a more sustained remission.

This review covers various aspects of hair biology, pigmentation, and development, focusing on genetic and biochemical modulation of hair follicle components but reports no new findings.

Fox Fordyce disease might be more common in prepubertal girls than thought and can be managed with treatment.

This study found that post-finasteride syndrome patients showed a tissue-specific methylation pattern of the SRD5A2 promoter in cerebrospinal fluid, potentially affecting neuroactive steroid levels and related behavioral symptoms.

In this observational study, most patients with multiple sclerosis on teriflunomide who experienced hair thinning reported it as mild or moderate and largely recovered while continuing treatment.

This study found that restoring hypothalamic NPY levels in mice delayed aging-related characteristics such as fat loss, hair loss, and memory decline, suggesting that maintaining these levels could be important for counteracting aging and its effects.

This narrative review examines advancements in regenerative aesthetic medicine, focusing on injectable modalities like PRP, polynucleotides, and exosomes, but highlights the need for more robust evidence and standardization in clinical applications.

This review discusses the high prevalence of dermatological manifestations like hirsutism and acne in PCOS patients and explores various therapeutic approaches, highlighting the need for early recognition and treatment.

This study found that a photometric flow titration using KMnO4 and minoxidil provided results comparable to a chromatographic procedure, with recoveries between 97.6% and 102.8% and relative errors of 3.5% to 4.0%.

This study demonstrated that a flow injection method using potassium permanganate for detecting minoxidil provided accurate recoveries and agreed closely with HPLC results, showing potential for effective analysis of commercial samples.

This study proposed a simple, rapid permanganometric method for determining minoxidil concentrations in pharmaceutical samples, offering comparable accuracy to chromatographic methods with recovery rates of 94.5 to 95.2%.

This study found that topically applied minoxidil was more effective than nitroglycerin and placebo in enhancing penile diameter, rigidity, and arterial flow, with the most pronounced effects in patients with neurogenic impotence.

This study observed that androgenic alopecia patients taking finasteride had altered neuroactive steroid levels and persistent depression symptoms even after stopping the treatment.

Seborrhea in Parkinson's disease may be linked to hormones, not autonomic impairment.

This study suggests that true binary and ternary inclusion complexes were formed between finasteride and 2-hydroxypropyl-ß-cyclodextrin, with or without the addition of specific polymers.

This review found evidence supporting the effectiveness and safety of topical minoxidil for treating female pattern hair loss, though many included studies were at high risk of bias.

Greek women with PCOS have a higher risk of metabolic syndrome and are more likely to be overweight compared to healthy controls.
