This study found that finasteride treatment decreased VEGF expression in the prostate tissue of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, although it did not affect vascular density or serum VEGF levels.

This case study highlights that even short-term use of hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19 can potentially lead to acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis as an adverse effect.

This report describes a new case of isolated trichothiodystrophy with characteristic brittle hair and suggests a simplified classification scheme for understanding sulfur-deficient hair disorders.

In this study, researchers found that targeting a tacrolimus trough level of 4–7 ng/mL after liver transplantation resulted in comparable graft and patient survival rates to higher levels, while improving liver and kidney function markers.

In this study, single-cell RNA sequencing of hair follicle populations from hidradenitis suppurativa patients identified three endotypes, suggesting distinct epithelial-immune interactions that may guide stratified therapeutic approaches.

In this study, polycystic ovary syndrome was the most prevalent cause of androgen excess, and suppressive hormonal therapy improved hirsutism, menstrual dysfunction, and acne in most patients, though side effects were common.

This study observed that among a cohort of reproductive-aged women in the U.S., the prevalence of PCOS was about 4.0%, with no significant racial differences between White and Black women.

This study found that intradermal adipocyte lineage cells in mice are necessary and sufficient to activate follicular stem cells, highlighting their role in regulating skin stem cell activity.

Many COVID-19 survivors experience long-term symptoms like fatigue and sleep issues, needing ongoing medical support.

This review discusses genome maintenance mechanisms critical for preventing age-related diseases by preserving stem and progenitor cell potential, but reports no new empirical findings.

This study found that vertical sections of alopecia biopsy specimens had a higher concordance rate with the original combined diagnosis compared to transverse sections alone, although both methods have their pros and cons.

This study found that skin microbiota, particularly in wild-type mice, promotes wound-induced hair follicle neogenesis and wound healing, highlighting the potential downsides of routine antibiotic use on skin regeneration.

In this study, artesunate was confirmed as an effective treatment for severe malaria, but post-treatment hemolytic anemia occurred, although it was mostly mild and only one transfusion was needed.

This review found that low-level laser therapy appears promising in improving hair regrowth and patient satisfaction in androgenetic alopecia, though results should be interpreted cautiously.

This review suggests that skin may largely protect itself from CYP-generated reactive metabolites due to higher conjugating enzyme activities, while highlighting limitations in modeling human skin metabolism experimentally.

In patients undergoing treatment with capecitabine for colon cancer and metastatic breast cancer, this study observed that hand-foot syndrome occurred more frequently than with intravenous 5-FU, but other side effects were less common.

This review discusses common psychodermatologic conditions and provides practical diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations but reports no new results; the authors emphasize the challenge of treating patients who lack insight into their psychiatric symptoms.

This study found that male androgenic alopecia patients using the X5 hair laser device showed a statistically significant increase in hair growth over a 26-week period.

This study reviewed clinical trials and found that low-level laser therapy significantly increased hair diameter or density in both men and women with pattern hair loss compared to a sham device, though the involvement of industry relationships in some studies suggests cautious interpretation.

This study found that male pattern baldness may serve as a clinical marker for circulating sex hormone levels in men with localized prostate cancer, while chest hair density showed no significant hormone association.

This study found that adding low-level laser therapy to conventional treatment for canine acral lick dermatitis significantly increased hair growth compared to conventional therapy alone, but did not significantly reduce licking behavior.

This study suggests that the hairless gene encodes a nuclear factor important for hair follicle integrity, and its absence leads to hair follicle loss and defects in tissue development.

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.

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 review highlights the potential of Panax ginseng as a promising natural treatment for hair loss, despite limited published research on its effects.

This study found that COVID-19 infection disrupts spermatogenesis, alters testicular cell populations, and may impact male fertility by causing long-term changes in testicular function and reduced sperm quality, as observed even in patients who have recovered from the acute phase of the infection.

In this study, a photographic scale and questionnaire revealed that extensive central scalp hair loss was observed in 5.6% of African American women, with an association to a history of tinea capitis.

This review offers evidence-based recommendations for diagnosing and treating female pattern hair loss, emphasizing clinical assessment and starting treatment with minoxidil, while noting that measurement of certain hormones and vitamins is optional.

This review explores skin manifestations associated with autoimmune liver diseases and highlights known and probable links, such as vitiligo's strong association with autoimmune hepatitis.
