This article discusses the potential role of a local skin POMC system in the murine hair cycle and cutaneous stress responses, with no new results presented.

This study suggests that αMSH may play a regulatory role in human dermal papilla cells, potentially influencing immune and inflammatory responses in hair follicles, which could contribute to inflammatory alopecia.

This study found cell-specific variations in POMC mRNA and peptide expression in murine skin, suggesting that PC1 and PC2 convertases contribute to differential POMC processing.

This article discusses the role of suction-assisted lipectomy (SAL) and the hCG method in obesity management, highlighting the speculative benefits of hCG but reporting no new clinical findings.

This article discusses the potential of low-dose naltrexone as an adjuvant therapy for trichodynia in alopecias, noting its anti-inflammatory properties and need for further research.

The study found that in mice, conditional knockout of p53 in epidermal keratinocytes reduced food intake following UVB exposure and resulted in anxiety-related behaviors, suggesting that p53 plays a role in appetite stimulation and anxiety via UVB-induced β-endorphin production.

Dr. Yarborough denied endorsing Derma Genesis and was mistakenly represented due to his office manager's error; also, over 30% of tested skin products were contaminated with bacteria.

This study provided 18 evidence-based recommendations for managing acne vulgaris, strongly endorsing treatments like benzoyl peroxide, topical retinoids, and oral isotretinoin for severe cases, and issued conditional recommendations for therapies like salicylic acid and spironolactone, while offering good practice statements on combining treatment methods.

This expert panel review developed consensus recommendations for managing androgenetic alopecia in Canadian adults, endorsing seven interventions like oral and topical medications and platelet-rich plasma.

In this review, the researchers compared the traditional use of Senna Makki in Unani medicine for various ailments to modern pharmacological evidence, endorsing its role as a laxative but indicating further research is needed for its efficacy in other therapeutic areas.

This article discusses the ethical concerns and implications of a partnership between the National Prostate Cancer Coalition and Viadur, including the perceived endorsement of a specific drug.

This review summarizes proposed pathophysiological mechanisms of postpartum depression, highlighting neuroendocrine and neurobiological changes, but reports no new findings and calls for integrated understanding of the disorder.

This review highlights that while moderate physical activity benefits skin health by improving circulation and reducing stress, intense exercise or inadequate protective measures can harm the skin, emphasizing the need for sun protection and personalized care.

This study discusses the role of physicians and pharmaceutical companies as entrepreneurial actors in off-label drug use, arguing they may advance patient care more quickly than regulatory agencies.

High doses of progesterone can reduce seizures in mice.

This article discusses the long-standing use and safety of opioids in anaesthesia, noting that respiratory depression is a manageable side effect due to the availability of opioid antagonists.

The skin acts like an endocrine organ, making hormones that affect skin diseases and respond to stress.

This study found that PSA concentrations in peripheral blood are related to androgen levels, suggesting that PSA is a valuable marker for diagnosing hyperandrogenism in women.

This study found that variations in the androgen receptor gene influenced memory function in women, with GGN repeat polymorphisms significantly affecting logical memory performance only in females.

This study demonstrated that stress inhibited hair growth in mice, likely through substance P-dependent activation of immune cells, highlighting a brain-hair follicle connection.

This article discusses the role of neurohormones and neuropeptides in hair follicle pigmentation and outlines promising neuroendocrinological strategies to address greying and damage, but reports no new clinical results.
