This review discusses the causes and treatments of hirsutism in women and reports no clinical results; it emphasizes the importance of identifying androgen-secreting tumors that require distinct therapy.

This randomized clinical trial found that oral contraceptives containing desogestrel were associated with more adverse effects on serum lipids and blood pressure compared to those containing drospirenone in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome.

In this review, the authors provide an updated overview of hirsutism, highlighting new insights into androgen action, assessment methods, and treatment options, aiming for a personalized approach to manage this complex endocrine and psychological condition.

In this study, researchers examined 1,000 South Asian patients misusing topical corticosteroids for dermatophytosis and found that this misuse resulted in atypical, chronic, and recurrent fungal infections called steroid-modified dermatophytosis, often involving extensive and atypical skin presentations.

This study found that androgenetic alopecia is significantly more common in medical students compared to non-medical students in Peshawar, and its prevalence increases with academic progression, suggesting a possible link with stress or lifestyle factors.

This review posits that alopecia in PCOS results from the interaction between local follicular signaling failures, insulin resistance, inflammation, and genetic predispositions, rather than solely from androgen excess, and recommends a systems-level framework for its management.

This case report describes a rare occurrence of primary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PCDLBCL-NOS) on the scalp of a 45-year-old female, highlighting its unusual presentation and the initial treatment response but also noting severe subsequent complications.

In this retrospective study, researchers observed that alopecia areata manifests in various forms among Malagasy children and presents challenges in treatment, with mixed regrowth results following corticosteroid therapy and methotrexate.

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 review correlates modern biomedical and Unani medical perspectives on PCOS, suggesting that integrating both approaches might improve symptom management and quality of life for affected women, though it reports no new clinical results.

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

This study indicated that prediabetes may make ovaries more susceptible to PCOS-like changes, with mild hyperglycemia potentially having harmful effects on ovarian health.

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 review discusses different types of alopecia associated with psoriasis and highlights that hair loss in psoriasis is typically non-scarring and reversible, while also noting the increased risk of alopecia areata in these patients.

This study found that aerosols formulated with celery extract and candlenut oil significantly stimulated hair growth in rabbits without causing skin irritation, suggesting their potential as natural and safe alternatives for treating alopecia.

This review found that 5α-reductase inhibitors (such as finasteride and dutasteride) effectively reduce prostate size and stabilize hair loss but are associated with sexual dysfunction; they remain essential treatments for BPH and androgenic alopecia, requiring tailored risk-benefit assessments.

This review analyzed clinical trials and guidelines on 5-α-reductase inhibitors (5-ARIs) and found these drugs significantly improve urinary symptoms in BPH and stabilize hair loss in androgenic alopecia, but may cause sexual dysfunction and gynecomastia.

In this review, 5α-reductase inhibitors like finasteride and dutasteride were found to significantly reduce prostate volume and stabilize hair loss, but they also carry risks of sexual dysfunction, necessitating careful patient evaluation and monitoring.

This reported case of lichen planopilaris in siblings suggests a potential genetic predisposition, supporting the hypothesis of inherited susceptibility in this condition.

This case study reported on a 6-year-old boy with Kindler Syndrome born to consanguineous parents, featuring atypical symptoms like hyperpigmented macules and glucose intolerance, contributing to expanding insights into the condition's phenotypic diversity.

In this case report, a 13-year-old girl with pilomatrixoma and mild polycystic ovarian changes was studied, but no direct correlation was found between the conditions, though shared hormonal and genetic factors suggest potential links warranting further research.

This study found that integrating breed-specific BOA and SNP-based models helps reveal the genetic factors involved in thermotolerance traits in beef cattle, enhancing insights into thermoregulation and potentially improving cattle's heat resilience.

In this study, researchers found no significant differences in the serum levels of DHEAs, DHT, and testosterone between female patients with oral lichen planus and healthy controls, suggesting no neuroendocrine etiology is associated with this condition.

This study highlights the global prevalence of hirsutism in women and reviews its diagnostic criteria, potential underlying causes like polycystic ovary syndrome, and treatment options, emphasizing the need for tailored, multifaceted management and acknowledging the distress it causes patients.

This study concluded that formulations of celery and candlenut extracts meet the necessary criteria for use as a spray preparation aimed at promoting hair growth, based on evaluations of physical properties and consistency.

This study found that lichen planopilaris is associated with several environmental factors, such as stress and hair dye use, as well as thyroid disorders and genetic components.

OR101 may effectively treat atopic dermatitis and similar skin conditions.

In this study of 60 patients aged 1 to 60 with clinically diagnosed scalp diseases, researchers identified age, sex, educational level, occupation, socio-economic condition, family history, and behavior as factors associated with the prevalence of these diseases.

This study conducted in Pakistan found that innovative hair transplantation techniques, incorporating body hair and strategic extraction angles, significantly improved graft survival and patient satisfaction compared to traditional methods in men with poor donor site density.

In this case study, a patient with refractory oral lichen planus experienced marked improvement within one month of daily treatment with baricitinib, contributing to the evidence supporting the use of JAK inhibitors for lichen planus.
