research Is COVID-19 a Risk Factor for Progression of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia and Exacerbation of Its Related Symptoms?: A Systematic Review
COVID-19 might worsen symptoms and progression of benign prostatic hyperplasia, possibly due to inflammation and metabolic disturbances in the prostate gland. More research is needed to confirm this.
research Expression Patterns of Glial Cell Line-Derived Neurotrophic Factor, Neurturin, Their Cognate Receptors GFRα-1, GFRα-2, and Common Signal Transduction Element c-Ret in Human Skin Hair Follicles
Certain proteins and their receptors are more active during the growth phase of human hair and could be targeted to treat hair disorders.
research Further Observations on Riboflavin as a Food Factor in Economy of Food Utilization
This study on ten pairs of male rats using a paired feeding method revealed that riboflavin deficiency significantly impacts weight gain and health. Riboflavin-deficient rats gained only 6.1 g on average over 125 days, compared to 61.3 g in controls receiving 20 μg of riboflavin daily. Unlike thiamine deficiency, riboflavin deficiency does not lead to severe anorexia but may result in varied food intake levels. Deficient rats exhibited symptoms such as alopecia, dermatitis, rough hair, conjunctivitis, keratitis, and premature senility. The study suggests that riboflavin is crucial for oxidative-enzymic processes in metabolism, and its deficiency may lead to metabolic waste and organism collapse.
research Prematurity: Is It a Risk Factor for Striae Distensae?
Premature birth increases the risk of striae distensae.

research Clinical Effects of Follicle Unit Extraction and Transplantation Combined with Topical Recombinant Bovine Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor and Minoxidil in the Treatment of Secondary Cicatricial Alopecia
Combining FUE with rb-bFGF and minoxidil is more effective and has fewer side effects than FUE alone for treating hair loss.
research Is the Sulfonamide Group of Tamsulosin the Main Factor in the Pathophysiology of Floppy Iris Syndrome?
Tamsulosin's sulfonamide group may contribute to floppy iris syndrome.
research Tumor Cell Adhesion as a Risk Factor for SLN Metastasis and Predictor of Disease Recurrence in Primary Cutaneous Melanoma
