This study found that pharmacists using the EVInews database for self-medication information achieved significantly higher quality scores compared to those using other web-based sources.

This study explored whether bald characters are disproportionately portrayed as villains in Hollywood films but reports no new empirical results; the authors suggest this pattern may reflect a societal bias associating alopecia with immorality.

This news review reports on the latest developments in lipid technology but presents no new research findings.

This study found increased oxidative stress in younger male patients with early-onset androgenetic alopecia compared to healthy peers, suggesting a potential role for antioxidants in their treatment.

In this pilot study, both microneedling and CO2 laser combined with hair transplantation and nbUVB demonstrated potential for inducing repigmentation in refractory palmar-plantar vitiligo, though further research is needed to ascertain their relative efficacy.

This study observed that patients with alopecia areata had higher psychological distress levels and distinct neurotrophin serum levels compared to healthy controls, suggesting a relationship between psychological factors and neurotrophins in the disease's pathology.

This study observed that EZH2 expression scores in the epidermis, dermis, and hair follicles decrease with gestational age in human fetuses, and these scores were significantly higher in adults, indicating that lower EZH2 levels may be required for full skin differentiation and maturation before birth.

This study found that both oxidant and antioxidant levels were elevated in acne patients, suggesting that oxidative stress may be linked to acne pathogenesis but its causal role remains unclear.

This study found that spironolactone significantly reduced hair growth in hirsute women, with noticeable effects in 3-5 months, and decreased serum testosterone levels in all participants.

In this study, newly diagnosed women with mycosis fungoides or Sézary syndrome and those with alopecia experienced significantly poorer health-related quality of life.

This review found that supplements containing saw palmetto may improve hair quality and density in patients with androgenetic alopecia and telogen effluvium, but more large-scale RCTs are needed for conclusive evidence.

In this study, co-administering adipose-derived stem cells with platelet-rich plasma reduced radiation therapy-induced skin and hair follicle damage in mice, suggesting potential for clinical application.

This study found that particle affinity was stronger on healthy hair compared to damaged hair, with the deposition influenced predominantly by hydrogen bonding and electrostatic attraction, while larger particles had poorer deposition.

This retrospective study found that hair loss occurred in some isotretinoin patients, with those experiencing hair loss being older and having longer treatment durations and higher doses compared to controls.

This review summarizes evidence suggesting that smoking is associated with alopecia and premature hair graying, with smokers showing higher prevalence than nonsmokers.

This study found that using a keratin hair fiber filler significantly improved patient satisfaction, hair volume perception, and confidence among alopecia patients, without serious adverse effects.

This source highlights the challenges in treating cicatricial alopecia, noting that follicular unit extraction hair transplantation offers a minimally invasive and successful option to improve cosmetic outcomes for patients with permanent hair loss from scarring.

This article reviews the use of hair filler fibers for improving the appearance of thinning hair and calls for more studies on patient satisfaction and side effects, without providing new clinical results.

This study reported that in mycosis fungoides and Sezary syndrome, there is male predominance and younger age of presentation in early-stage disease, with significant data collection efforts supporting biomarker identification.

This study found that follicular unit transplantation is an effective and minimally invasive technique for camouflaging scarring alopecia in the head and neck area, achieving a graft survival rate of 86% and high patient satisfaction.

In this study, researchers found no significant link between ABO blood type, rhesus factor, or genotype and premature graying of hair, but observed potential associations with lifestyle factors such as smoking and alcohol intake.

This study found that 4 weeks of finasteride treatment significantly decreased DHT levels in bald scalp to levels similar to hair-containing scalp in men with male pattern baldness.

This study found that lowering serum DHT levels with 5 mg finasteride daily did not significantly alter serum gonadotropin levels in healthy young men after 28 days.

This study found a high prevalence of hyperandrogenemia in women with PCOS, with distinct biochemical differences according to BMI and presence of hyperandrogenemia.

This review discusses the use of topical and intralesional corticosteroids for treating alopecia areata, highlighting their efficacy and safety but noting recurrence and pain as limitations; no new clinical results are reported.

This study found that emergency department visits due to sunburn were more prevalent and costly during the summer, with a higher likelihood among lower-income men from the South.

The researchers reported that different allergens showed unique patterns based on season, gender, and age among patients with allergic skin rashes, with notable differences in allergen predispositions across groups.

This study found that counties with more dermatologists per 100,000 residents had higher melanoma 5-year survival rates, while the density of heme/onc specialists did not significantly impact mortality rates.

This study observed that high-dose spironolactone frequently caused metrorrhagia in women with idiopathic hirsutism, leading the authors to suggest lower starting doses or additional hormonal therapy.

This study found that spironolactone 100 mg daily did not demonstrate objective benefits in managing idiopathic hirsutism, as it increased hair shaft diameter without reducing serum androgen levels.
