This review discusses the role of neurosteroids and androgens throughout different life stages, noting the potential disruptions caused by 5α-reductase inhibitors like finasteride, but no new clinical results are reported.

This study reports that over one-quarter of dermatology outpatients show psychiatric morbidity, highlighting the importance of considering psychological factors in managing skin diseases.

In this study, a deficiency in the zinc finger protein Zfp462 in mice led to anxiety-like behaviors and excessive self-grooming, providing a new model for studying anxiety disorders.

This study found that neonatal administration of allopregnanolone enhances, while finasteride suppresses, the effects of adult intrahippocampal pregnenolone sulphate on rat locomotor activity in an open field test.

This chapter defines skin integrity as a blend of intact structural elements and adaptable functional capacity, highlighting its importance in maintaining skin health across various conditions but reports no new research findings.

Different types of hair loss in dogs and cats have various causes and treatments, with outcomes ranging from good to uncertain.

Higher 3α,5α-THP levels in the brain may reduce depression in pregnant rats.

This study highlights a complex link between hair care and HFRBDs and suggests that personalized hair care strategies could improve condition management and be integrated into professional guidance by clinicians and hair experts.

This study found that progesterone and its metabolite, allopregnanolone, provided anti-anxiety and anti-depressive effects in female mice, potentially independent of nuclear progestin receptors but requiring 5α-reduction and estradiol's influence on brain-derived neurotrophic factor.

This study found that social hair plucking in captive rhesus macaques is linked to alopecia and possibly relates to stress in females.

In this animal study, the methanolic extract of Crataeva nurvala leaves was found to possess sedative and anxiolytic properties, potentially linked to GABAergic activity and certain neuroactive compounds.

This study found that using spanlastics, a nano, surfactant-based drug delivery system, improved the bioavailability, drug release characteristics, and pharmacokinetic behavior of famotidine, a poorly soluble drug, by enhancing its dissolution and membrane permeation.

In this study, higher concentrations of environmental metals, particularly manganese, were linked to worse self-reported attention-related behaviors in adolescents from Italy, with no significant modification of this effect by iron status.

This study explored postpartum body image and menstruation experiences among 11 UK mothers, identifying themes of body dissatisfaction and the stress of resumed menstruation, while highlighting the need for better healthcare support and the positive role of reframing body perceptions towards functionality.

In this study, researchers observed that chronic stress affected wild-derived house mice differently by sex, with females showing less weight gain and distinct behavioral changes, while males exhibited higher hair corticosterone levels, suggesting divergent coping strategies and implications for sex-specific stress assessment protocols.

This study found that neonatal administration of finasteride affected adult learning and memory in rats, enhancing object recognition but impairing aversive learning, with no effect on anxiety-like behavior.

This study found that the tensile strength of curly hair is influenced by two main components, with springiness (toe region) contributing significantly, unlike in noncurly hair where it is negligible.

In this study, researchers found that female rats exhibited more pronounced panic-related escape behavior during hypoxia, particularly in the diestrus phase, and that low-dose fluoxetine reduced this behavior, suggesting its potential for managing panic disorder symptoms related to hormonal cycles in women.

This study found that acute sleep deprivation enhanced 5α-reductase expression and activity in the rat prefrontal cortex, and finasteride treatment reduced associated psychosis- and mania-like behaviors.

This study found that PEGylated LUT-Aspasomes significantly improved neuroprotective effects in stressed rats, enhancing spatial memory, reducing depressive-like behavior, and preserving hippocampal architecture better than free luteolin. Additionally, it increased brain delivery and stability, suggesting potential for treating stress-related neurobehavioral disorders.

In this study, lower dihydrotestosterone and higher testosterone levels were linked to increased brain activation during response inhibition, although no behavioral changes were detected.

This study highlights the potential of nanofibers in cosmeceuticals, reporting that nanofiber facial masks outperform regular masks in cleansing, and notes their exploratory use in anti-acne patches for enhanced acne management.

This study found that mange-infected bare-nosed wombats have increased heat loss, higher metabolic rates, altered behavior, and disrupted fatty acid composition compared to healthy individuals.

In this exploratory study of trigeminal neuralgia patients undergoing microvascular decompression surgery, differential protein expression in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid was observed between responders and non-responders, suggesting potential biomarkers to predict surgical success and providing insights into the mechanisms of pain relief.

This study found that finasteride led to increased anxiety-like behavior related to bright spaces in rats, but did not significantly affect open space anxiety-like behavior.

This study found that transformation expectations mediate the link between materialism and credit overuse, suggesting that materialism fosters favorable attitudes toward debt and beliefs in life changes through acquisition.

In this study, a ferret with multiple health issues was diagnosed with a malignant apocrine gland adenocarcinoma on the prepuce, highlighting the aggressive nature of such tumors in this species and suggesting further investigation into cytologic features could provide insights into tumor behavior.

This study in neonatal rats found that inhibiting neurosteroid synthesis with finasteride unexpectedly reduced the severity and duration of neonatal seizures following birth asphyxia, maintained cognitive functions, but increased anxiety-like behaviors, highlighting a complex role of neurosteroids in hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy outcomes.

In this study, fenugreek seed extract showed significant androgenic and spermatogenic effects in male rats, likely through inhibiting testosterone metabolism, without impacting cardiovascular health.

This study conducted among sex workers in Kostanay reported a low HIV prevalence of 0.8% but a high syphilis rate of 15.6%, highlighting significant social risks and emphasizing the need to expand pre-exposure prophylaxis and prevention programs.
