Masculinizing hormone therapy increases the risk of hair loss in transgender and gender-diverse patients.

In this study, researchers identified loss of function variants in the HR gene as likely causes of the distinct roaning hair coat seen in lykoi cats.

This study found PRP treatment significantly increased hair count and anagen hairs in male patients with androgenetic alopecia, but there was no correlation between therapeutic response and platelet or growth factor levels.

This study suggests that inducible transgenic mice showing hair follicle changes similar to telogen effluvium in humans might serve as a useful model for understanding this type of hair loss.

In this extended follow-up of the PALOMA-2 trial, no significant differences in overall quality of life were observed between first-line treatments for metastatic breast cancer, but palbociclib plus letrozole showed some benefits regarding side-effects and hair loss.

This study found that IsoPSA's ability to detect both any prostate cancer and clinically actionable prostate cancer remains unaffected by medications like 5-ARIs and α-blockers, which are commonly used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia symptoms.

This study found that long-term use of difluprednate ophthalmic emulsion in dogs can lead to HPA axis suppression and potentially cause iatrogenic hyperadrenocorticism, with localized alopecia suspected due to dermal absorption.

This study found that Swiss cattle exhibiting rat-tail syndrome are heterozygous for genetic variants linked to pigmentation and color dilution, likely due to Holstein introgression in the Simmental breed.

This study in Mexican patients with alopecia areata found that body hair involvement was linked to disease progression, while treatment adherence was associated with both remission and progression.

Tailored treatment is crucial for elderly men with BPH due to potential risks and benefits of medications.

This article discusses the uncertainty regarding distinct skin findings and cardiometabolic profiles among PCOS subtypes and reports no new clinical data.

Women with premature ovarian insufficiency have a worse cardiovascular risk profile than premenopausal women.

This study identified two single-nucleotide polymorphisms and three haplotypes in the KRTAP7-1 gene across yak, taurine, and zebu cattle, with the BOVIN-KRTAP7-1*A haplotype most prevalent.

This study reports the first known case of oral lichen planus preceding lichen planopilaris in a patient, highlighting a possible sequential relationship between the conditions.

This case report describes a ten-year-old boy with kerion celsi caused by Trichosporon asteroides, successfully treated with systemic fluconazole over eight weeks, marking the first documentation of this cause in the literature.

This study found that radiation negatively impacts the survival and proliferation of fibroblasts on human dermis transplants, but hair follicle pores enhance cell viability even after irradiation.

Early diagnosis and aggressive treatment are crucial for Cicatricial Alopecia, and treatment effectiveness varies among patients.

This article reports three cases of African American men with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, highlighting the need to consider this diagnosis for male patients with vertex hair loss and scalp symptoms.

This study concluded that 16β-methyl-17α-benzoyloxypregnen-4-en-3,20-dione may be a promising treatment for androgen-dependent diseases and epilepsy due to its antioxidant effects and impact on GABAergic and serotonergic metabolism in rats.

In this study, biochemical and clinical hyperandrogenism in PCOS were found to be distinct entities with no strong androgen correlation to clinical symptoms like acne or hirsutism.

In this study, the population of Freixo de Espada à Cinta had a high prevalence of melanocytic nevi, which increased with age, and solar keratosis was notably higher in those over 60.

This article reports a case of a 19-month-old boy with scalp erythematous papules and hair loss, showing no improvement with initial treatment.

This study highlights that misdiagnosis of hair and scalp disorders is prevalent in patients with skin of color and emphasizes the role of thorough examination and biopsies in improving diagnostic accuracy.

This study found that in patients with alopecia areata and atopic dermatitis, 61.5% showed improvement with dupilumab treatment, but 38.5% experienced worsened or new-onset alopecia areata, with higher baseline IgE levels linked to better responses.

In this study, researchers found that the female plumage color variations in the common cuckoo are linked to the female-restricted genome and suggest this pattern is maintained by balancing selection, sharing ancestry with the oriental cuckoo.

Certain genetic factors may contribute to frontal fibrosing alopecia in Brazil.

Mast cells may significantly contribute to central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia.

This study found that in Pomeranian dogs with alopecia X, dermoscopic evaluations can supplement diagnoses, and transverse skin biopsy sections better assess hair follicle density and identify growth arrest phases compared to longitudinal sections.
