This study found that oral minoxidil is associated with a higher proportional reporting of several cardiovascular adverse events compared to topical minoxidil in spontaneous FDA reports, but these signals should be interpreted as hypothesis-generating rather than evidence of clinical safety.

This study found that combining Alexandrite laser with iontophoresis of chymotrypsin and papain enzymes reduced the laser pulse requirements compared to laser alone for treating paradoxical hypertrichosis in women with facial hirsutism, suggesting potential clinical benefits in managing this condition.

This study found that hair loss is common in Saudi Arabia, with prevalence rates between 13.8% and 71.3%, and is often untreated despite key risk factors like stress, vitamin D deficiency, and COVID-19.

In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, topical 3% minoxidil was found to significantly improve facial hair density and diameter, quality of life, and patient satisfaction in transgender men on stable gender-affirming hormone therapy, with minimal adverse events compared to placebo.

Facial aesthetic procedures improve quality of life for transgender individuals.

In this study, researchers characterized the clinical features of ophiasis, an uncommon type of alopecia areata, and proposed a new subtype classification that may help predict treatment response and guide management, noting that ophiasis generally has a chronic and refractory nature.

This study suggests that 9-Octadecenoic acid (Z)-, 2,3-dihydroxypropyl ester from African Yam bean seeds may inhibit the human 5α-reductase II enzyme, potentially helping manage BPH, although further studies are needed.

In this study, researchers found that combining cryotherapy with triamcinolone injections is equally effective as triamcinolone alone for treating patchy alopecia areata on the scalp and face, with no significant difference in outcomes between the two methods.

This study found that controlled release of hIGF-1 from TF/hIGF-1 effectively enhanced re-epithelialization and granulation tissue formation in diabetic wounds in animal models compared to controls, suggesting a promising approach for diabetic wound treatment.

This study suggests that Enterococcus faecium fermentation broth may have anti-aging effects in mice, mainly through modulating gut microbiota and enhancing immunity, with the key component NlpC/P60 potentially boosting host immune responses and increasing beneficial bacterial populations.

This meta-analysis found that several factors are significantly associated with the presence and progression of androgenetic alopecia, including family history, smoking, alcohol consumption, poor sleep quality, being overweight, hypertension in men, insulin resistance, and high fasting insulin levels.

In this study, researchers assessed cortisol levels in wolves by comparing hair and fecal samples and found a significant correlation, indicating that hair cortisol accurately reflects systemic levels, but season and body region affect results.

This review found that image-guided techniques in regenerative aesthetic procedures may enhance accuracy and patient outcomes compared to traditional methods, but more high-quality randomized trials are needed to establish standardized protocols.

This study found that disease duration was the only independent risk factor for increased severity of female pattern hair loss, rather than elements, vitamins, or hormones.

This study observed distinct post-marketing safety signal patterns for baricitinib and tofacitinib in adult AA, influenced by their differing regulatory uses and real-world contexts, and emphasizes the need for future studies to validate these findings.

This report identified a family of Iranian siblings with diverse clinical forms of Lichen Planus, suggesting potential genetic and environmental involvement in its pathogenesis.

In this study, researchers identified significant signals indicating previously unrecognized risks of lipid metabolism abnormalities for several drugs, urging the need for better monitoring and label updates.

This case report describes a father with HOXC13-associated pure hair-nail ectodermal dysplasia, presenting with severe nail dystrophy affecting all digits and notable hypotrichosis or complete alopecia.

This study found that both genetic and epigenetic factors significantly influence age-related facial skin aging, with lifestyle and environmental factors also playing a substantial role.

This source describes vitiligo as a chronic condition marked by the loss of skin pigmentation and discusses leukotrichia, a feature affecting 10% to 60% of cases, which arises from melanocyte loss in hair follicles and appears as well-defined white patches on the skin.

Pharmacists play a crucial role in improving patient outcomes through personalized care and staying updated with scientific advancements.

This review explores the management of facial hair in active-duty female military members, focusing on conditions like pseudofolliculitis barbae and hirsutism, and underscores the importance for healthcare practitioners to understand the psychosocial and medical aspects of these conditions in both military and civilian contexts.

This study presents a new wireless bioelectronic system powered by ambient Wi-Fi signals that enhances wound healing by providing electrical stimulation and real-time monitoring, offering a promising solution for at-home treatment and regenerative therapy.

This study found that among transgender and gender diverse adults, facial hair is important for gender affirmation but often causes dissatisfaction and financial strain due to inadequate insurance coverage for hair care treatments.

This study found that UVB exposure led to visible tanning and distinct DNA methylation changes in pigmentation genes in tan-capable skin but not in non-tan skin, highlighting GNAS as a potentially UVB-responsive gene.

This systematic review and meta-analysis found that male first-degree relatives of women with PCOS have increased rates of metabolic issues, hormonal imbalances, and androgenic features compared to controls, suggesting a male equivalent of PCOS.

This systematic review found that 5%–10% of COVID-19 cases develop long-term sequelae like neurocognitive impairment and cardiovascular damage, with higher risks in women and severe cases. Vaccination may reduce these risks, but further evidence is needed to confirm its efficacy.

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.

Pharmacists play a crucial role in customizing treatments and ensuring medication safety.

This report covers an internship at a pharmacy and hospital where multiple pharmaceutical activities were examined, including the preparation of individualized medication and the comparison of drugs for hypercholesterolemia treatment.
