This study examined different polymersome systems for topical finasteride delivery and found that chitosan-decorated C7 polymersomes may enhance skin retention and provide controlled drug release compared to non-decorated systems in laboratory settings.

Nitrendipine and nifedipine effectively block muscle contractions, while papaverine relaxes them and minoxidil needs high amounts to work.

This review discusses the physiopathology of androgenetic alopecia and evaluates various traditional and emerging treatments, reporting no new clinical results but highlighting the need for enhanced treatment strategies.

This study found that obesity is associated with several skin conditions, such as striae and pseudoacanthosis nigricans, which may serve as markers of excessive weight.

This review discusses the potential use of cultured primary fetal cells from a single organ donation to produce therapeutic products, emphasizing the need for process consistency and safety verification, but reports no clinical results.

This study found that finasteride significantly reduced hirsutism in women with idiopathic hirsutism or polycystic ovary syndrome over six months, suggesting its potential effectiveness for this condition.

This study found that massaging the skin significantly increases follicular penetration of liposomes in an ex vivo setting, while occlusion only enhanced penetration for rigid liposomes.

This study found that in dermatological patients, poorer quality of life was associated with being younger, single, having a low income, one skin disease, and longer duration of the condition.

This study suggests that true binary and ternary inclusion complexes were formed between finasteride and 2-hydroxypropyl-ß-cyclodextrin, with or without the addition of specific polymers.

This review discusses the association between vitamin D receptor polymorphisms and polycystic ovary syndrome, noting the need for further research on their impact on the disorder's manifestations.

This study reported that almost 25% of women with PCOS were diagnosed with NAFLD, and 32.7% to 44.6% had metabolic syndrome, with higher prevalence in those with both conditions.

This study found that among women above 15 years with acne, 54.56% exhibited hyperandrogenism, with dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate levels most frequently elevated.

Acne is common in women, often hormone-related, negatively affects quality of life, and requires various treatments.

This study found that α-MSH administration before skin wounding in adult mice reduced inflammation and scar area, suggesting a potential pathway to more regenerative healing.

This study found that untreated hirsute patients have lower expression of type 2 17β-HSD mRNA in scalp hairs, indicating potential disturbances in androgen metabolism, compared to treated hirsute patients.

This study reported that COVID-19 was causally associated with postinfectious hair shedding, which varied with disease severity, but hair completely recovered.

This study found that both extensive grey hair and alopecia were independently associated with increased COVID-19 severity among survey respondents in Brazil.

This study found that excessive heat caused the most significant structural changes in hair from Caucasian and Afro samples, especially when combined with other treatments like bleaching and straightening.

This consensus concluded that oral isotretinoin is highly effective for treating acne and some off-label conditions, with common adverse events being manageable and rare serious risks not contraindicating use.

This study confirms the presence of large structural variations in the genome of Nellore cattle, which may contribute to their environmental adaptation to tropical regions.

In this study, 5% minoxidil significantly improved outcomes for children and adults with patchy alopecia areata compared to placebo, with moderate quality evidence and no severe adverse events reported, though more research is needed to address remaining uncertainties.

This study found that nano-sized minoxidil formulations significantly increased skin penetration and follicular drug delivery for alopecia areata treatment, compared to conventional ethanol-based solutions, and demonstrated effective controlled release over six hours.

In this study, researchers measured that the MMP drug delivery technique administered approximately 1,175 μg/cm² of medication into the dermis of human skin, but these findings are specific to the experimental protocol used.

This assessment of European Dermatology Forum guidelines found varying methodological quality, with S3 guidelines scoring highest overall, highlighting a need for standardization in guideline development.

This study found that chronic exposure to finasteride did not significantly impact spermatogenesis in rats.

This study found that high doses of ethyl acetate extract from Tridax procumbens can have specific toxic effects in rats, including organ damage and significant changes in some serum biochemical parameters.

This study found that SDR5A1 gene expression was similar between hirsute women, normal women, and men, suggesting it may not explain differences in hair growth among these groups.

This review discusses post-finasteride syndrome, characterized by persistent symptoms despite discontinuation, and concludes that its existence cannot be confirmed; individualized assessment is advisable for those with a history of depression, sexual dysfunction, or infertility.

This review examines the literature on polycystic ovary syndrome, focusing on its pathogenesis, diagnosis, and links to cardiovascular and hypertensive disorders, but presents no new clinical findings.

This case report describes dermoscopic features of pemphigus vulgaris on the scalp, highlighting that hair casts may suggest treatment adjustment for improved disease control.
