This review details the 2023 International Guideline update for assessing and managing polycystic ovary syndrome, which provides evidence-based recommendations to improve care and patient outcomes but notes the remaining low to moderate quality of evidence.

This study demonstrated that genetic markers can predict human ear morphology with moderate to good accuracy, potentially aiding forensic identification in crime scene investigations where traditional DNA matches are unavailable.

This study suggests that low proliferation rates in bald areas of androgenetic alopecia patients, along with persistent inflammatory infiltrate, may lead to follicular miniaturization and fibrosis.

Scalp photography helps patients feel less anxious about hair loss, agree more with doctors on severity, and stay motivated for treatment.

This study found that patients with mycosis fungoides have higher levels of cardiovascular risk markers, suggesting an increased cardiovascular risk in this group compared to healthy controls.

This study found that Wet-type Age-Related Macular Degeneration patients had higher oxidative stress and HMGB-1 levels compared to healthy controls, suggesting a link to increased tissue inflammation and necrosis.

This study found that adding 10 mg/day of biotin to isotretinoin treatment for acne improved hair growth and maintained skin hydration, potentially reducing isotretinoin's mucocutaneous side effects.

The researchers reported that using a concentrate of conditioned mesenchymal stem cells derived from the placenta accelerated wound healing and regeneration in laboratory animals with severe local radiation injuries.

This study found that Lepidium sativum leaf extract significantly downregulated VEGF, TNF-α, and SRD5A2 gene expressions in HaCaT cells, suggesting potential benefits for inflammatory and androgen-dependent skin disorders.

This review discusses the role of androgen therapy and neurosteroids in cerebrovascular health, highlighting the potential risks and benefits and the importance of pharmacogenetic testing, but reports no new experimental results.

This study observed that storing hair follicle micrografts significantly decreased the expression of certain key genes in the dermal papilla, potentially affecting hair follicle cycling during preparation and storage.

This study found that the welfare of dogs in commercial breeding facilities in Indiana was visualized as clean with minor foot health issues, and preventive care helped maintain good dental and ear health.

This article reviews the diagnostic process for hair problems, emphasizing the importance of thorough patient evaluation and communication but reports no new clinical results.

This review aims to help medical practitioners understand inferential statistical methods to critically evaluate clinical trial design and analyses, but it doesn’t present new research findings.

In this study, researchers propose that different vertebrate skin appendages, such as hair, feathers, and scales, evolved in parallel from a shared ancestral cell structure associated with teeth, dating back approximately 420 million years ago.

This study found that methanolic leaf extract of Plumbago zeylanica L. demonstrates strong thrombolytic and antioxidant activities and shows promise as a source of such agents.

This study found that both intradermal injection and derma roller techniques for QR678Neo® hair regrowth therapy improved androgenetic alopecia symptoms, with intradermal injections showing non-significantly better video-microscopic outcomes but more pain and erythema associated with derma rollers.

In this study, QR678® and QR678 Neo® injections significantly improved hair density and thickness in women with PCOS-related alopecia over eight sessions, with effects lasting over a year.

In this double-blind, randomized controlled trial, researchers found that cow placenta extract lotion was as effective as topical minoxidil 2% in increasing hair count for women with androgenetic alopecia over six months, though the mean increases in hair count were similar for both treatments.

This study observed that Biota orientalis L. leaf extract may promote hair growth and suppress sebum production in human cells, suggesting potential benefits for hair restoration.

This study found that a regimen combining cyproterone acetate and testosterone buciclate induced reversible azoospermia in bonnet monkeys, highlighting its potential as an effective male contraceptive.

In this study, UDCA treatment reduced inflammation, oxidative stress, and cartilage damage in rats with experimentally induced rheumatoid arthritis, suggesting potential anti-rheumatoid arthritis properties.

This study found that cultured foreskin is not suitable for studying H2A.J-related tissue changes during radiation-induced dermatitis due to existing high H2A.J expression and cytokine secretion even without irradiation.

This study found that patients with telogen effluvium had a higher rate of acute hair loss and lower monocyte counts if they had contracted COVID-19 prior to hair loss onset.

This study found that using a plasma hairdryer for 90 minutes caused significantly less hair damage, such as cuticle cracks or layer separation, compared to traditional hot air dryers.

In this study, serum omentin-1 levels were significantly higher in females with idiopathic hirsutism compared to those with PCOS and healthy controls.

In this study, researchers found that a protein-enriched cream made from Spirulina platensis improved the physical structure of natural hair, as evidenced by more intact and smoother cuticles compared to a control cream without protein, suggesting its potential for hair care applications.

This study found that while both professional and home-use lasers effectively reduced axillary hair, the professional Diode laser was significantly more effective, achieving 85-88% reduction compared to 46-52% with the home-use laser, which still offers some safety for users.

This study suggests that hair cortisol and cortisone may moderate the relationship between work stress and depressive symptoms in Chinese fishermen, although their mechanisms differ.

This study found that care for transgender Veterans at VANCHCS could benefit from a more consistent, team-based approach to therapy.
