This study found that medroxyprogesterone acetate treatment in women with PCOS reduced hyperandrogenism-related hormonal levels and improved skin conditions without affecting lipid or carbohydrate metabolism.

This review discusses current hypotheses about cicatricial alopecia's pathogenesis, including lymphocyte-mediated mechanisms and sebaceous gland defects, and reports no new results, emphasizing the need for systematic research.

This review discusses the pharmacological properties and physiological regulation of neuroactive steroids, focusing on their varied responses to stress and ethanol in rats, mice, and humans, but it reports no new findings.

This study found that increasing the proportion of ethanol in minoxidil formulations improved skin penetration in both in vitro and in vivo tests on mice.

This study found that etretinate treatment led to an increase in plucked telogen hair counts, suggesting a reduction in the duration of anagen as the primary cause.

This study found that minoxidil penetration through the skin increased with higher ethanol content and occlusion, with the highest penetration observed at 90% ethanol.

This phase I study reported that ETC-159, targeting Wnt signalling, showed tolerable safety profiles at doses that inhibit its pathway, though bone turnover markers increased, warranting early and regular monitoring. No tumor responses were observed, but two patients achieved stable disease for several cycles.

In this study, two different estroprogestin treatments significantly improved skin conditions and decreased androgen levels in hyperandrogenic women, with EE/DRSP showing more pronounced hormonal changes and skin improvements compared to EE/CMA.

This study found that oral etretinate improved skin conditions like erythrodermic and pustular psoriasis, although less so for psoriasis vulgaris and lichen planus, with notable side effects including cheilitis and mucous membrane dryness.

This study documented 70 plant species used by traditional healers in Namibia to manage AIDS-related opportunistic diseases and highlighted the need for further research on their anti-HIV properties and potential over-exploitation.

Finasteride reduces alcohol withdrawal effects, especially in female mice.

This study documented 80 plant species used as traditional cosmetics in parts of South West Nigeria, preserving orally transmitted information on these practices.

In this review, Ziziphus lotus was reported to have multiple traditional uses and demonstrated various pharmacological properties in lab and animal studies, with over 181 identified bioactive compounds; however, clinical trials are needed to confirm its efficacy as a medicinal agent.

The study found that certain hair care practices, such as wearing cornrows and infrequent use of hair oil, were significantly associated with traction alopecia and seborrheic dermatitis in African American girls, but no significant link was observed with tinea capitis.

This study found that ethanol-induced deficits in motor coordination in rats are not mediated by elevated neuroactive steroid biosynthesis.

This study suggests that chronic treatment with TPA in mouse skin selectively expands a keratinocyte subpopulation hyperinducible for ODC, which may be a key target for neoplastic transformation.

This review discusses traditional therapies used in the Indian subcontinent, covering practices like Ayurveda and homeopathy, and reports no new clinical results; the authors emphasize the need for rigorous studies.

This review discusses ethosomes as lipid carriers that enhance drug penetration into deep skin layers and underscores the need for advanced research on their pharmaceutical applications, but it reports no clinical outcomes.

This study measured the solubility of minoxidil in various solvents, finding the highest solubility in methanol and lowest in water, with solubility correlating to temperature.

This study reported that etretinate treatment leads to increased hair shedding due to a sustained decrease in anagen duration, with an arrest at the onset of anagen and a follicular anchorage defect in telogen contributing to alopecia.

This review summarizes findings on the use of ethosomes for enhanced transdermal drug delivery and reports no new clinical results.

This review compiles existing research on Peperomia pellucida's traditional medicinal uses and pharmacological properties but reports no new findings, suggesting its potential for drug development.

This study documented the use of 41 plant species in the West Bank for treating hair and scalp disorders, highlighting their folkloric significance and potential for new cosmetic and cosmeceutical products.

This study found that ethanolic leaves extract of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L. exhibited strong antioxidant activity and enhanced wound healing properties in mice, showing reasonable safety in toxicological evaluations without severe alterations.

This study identified key natural medicinal materials used in traditional Chinese medicine across Taiwan for inducing lactation, highlighting Angelica sinensis as a primary core component in galactogenous prescriptions.

This study found that minoxidil exhibits preferential solvation by water in both water-rich and ethanol-rich solvent mixtures.

Among women with polycystic ovary syndrome, this study found that oral contraceptives containing 20 μg ethinyl estradiol had similar effects on androgen levels as those containing 30 μg.

In this case report, etanercept was observed to effectively resolve symptoms of refractory acrodermatitis continua suppurativa Hallopeau after previous treatments had limited success.

In this study, women treated for androgen-dependent alopecia with CPA EE2 therapy experienced significant decreases in serum vitamin B12, hemoglobin, and hematocrit levels after six months.

The study found that social isolation in mice increases the sensitivity of their hippocampal synapses to ethanol's inhibitory effects on long-term potentiation, an effect preventable by finasteride.
