This study found that scalp micropigmentation significantly improved psychological well-being among adults by enhancing appearance satisfaction and perceived physical attractiveness, but not through a direct relationship with psychological well-being itself.

This study suggests men with early androgenetic alopecia might have hormonal profiles similar to women with polycystic ovarian syndrome, potentially indicating risk for related health complications.

In this study, the Swedish Hairdex-S was well-received by alopecia areata patients and demonstrated strong psychometric properties and consistency with the original version, supporting its use for patient quality of life evaluation and research.

This study surveyed patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathy and found that glucocorticoid treatment commonly leads to adverse effects, particularly sleep disturbance, mood swings, and weight gain, with more severe effects reported by female patients.

This review discusses the use of platelet-rich plasma for alopecia treatment and notes a lack of data on the consistency of FDA-approved PRP devices in clinical settings.

This study found that higher levels of cortisol (F) and cortisone (E) in hair before stroke onset were significantly associated with post-stroke depression and anxiety, suggesting they could serve as potential predictors for these mood disorders.

This study found that rigid perfectionism in men was associated with higher levels of baldness distress, with anxiety about physical aging partially mediating this relationship, regardless of age, level of baldness, cultural context, or racial identity.

In this study, a hair tonic containing fragrant pandan leaf extract and virgin coconut oil was formulated and evaluated, with most variations demonstrating physical stability except for one formulation, which showed instability in the specific gravity test.

Testosterone boosts physical performance, grip strength, and lean body mass in older men with low testosterone.

In this case study, authors reported that a 43-year-old female patient initially showed persistently high testosterone levels due to immunoassay interference, later verified as normal using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), highlighting the need to consider assay artifacts in diagnosing hyperandrogenism without clinical signs.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome have higher body mass index, fat mass percentage, and skinfold thickness compared to women without PCOS.

This review analyzes quality of life instruments for pediatric alopecia areata and reports inconsistencies in their coverage, suggesting the need for new tools to comprehensively assess all affected life aspects.

In this study, pediatric patients who underwent tissue expansion surgery reported varying quality-of-life outcomes, with a median score of +17, and most would recommend the procedure despite some negative experiences, indicating the need for further research to understand factors influencing these outcomes.

In this narrative review, the authors explored various rehabilitative techniques, including injections and physical therapies, that may enhance aesthetics and psychosocial wellbeing in patients with disabilities, emphasizing a multidisciplinary approach to improve both functional and cosmetic outcomes.

In this study, treating prolactinoma with cabergoline normalized prolactin levels and affected some androgen-related parameters, but did not significantly improve hirsutism in affected women.

This study found that alopecia areata patients had a higher serum CRP/albumin ratio compared to healthy controls, and this elevation was linked to disease severity, indicating its potential as an inflammatory marker.

A woman's hair grew back after she stopped taking the Parkinson's disease medication pramipexole.

This study analyzed the formulation and stability of pomade containing peppermint oil and minoxidil, determining that a particular formulation with 1% paraffin yielded optimal physical and stability characteristics for promoting hair growth, making it the best choice among the tested options.

In this experimental study, mixing temperature and rate were found to significantly influence cream's physical properties, with mixing rate affecting spreadability and temperature affecting viscosity.

This study found that glycerol most significantly influenced the spreadability and initial viscosity of a saw palmetto anti-hair loss cream, while PEG 400 predominantly affected viscosity changes over time.

This study found that the psychosocial impact of AA is more strongly related to patients' illness perceptions and stigma than to the severity of the disease.

This study introduces a new device for measuring changes in hair stiffness and lubricity, which can help predict the effects of various hair treatments.

This study found that men with early-onset androgenetic alopecia and certain risk factors may have worse gonadal steroidogenesis and an increased likelihood of developing gonadal dysfunction, suggesting a male equivalent of polycystic ovarian syndrome.

This study documented that symmetrical, noninflammatory alopecia in schipperkes is associated with hormonal abnormalities and hair cycle arrest, resembling Alopecia X clinically and histologically.

This review discusses theories and treatments for body image disturbances and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that the finasteride tablet and capsule are bioequivalent to the control finasteride tablet in healthy volunteers.
