,
May 2024 in “European Journal of Investigation in Health Psychology and Education” In this study, a high prevalence of anabolic-androgenic steroid use was observed among bodybuilding athletes in Sergipe, Brazil, regardless of their socioeconomic backgrounds, highlighting the need for increased awareness about the associated health risks.
1 citations
,
July 2022 in “Clinical dermatology review” This review elaborates on follicular unit extraction as a hair restoration procedure and provides a detailed step-by-step guide but does not present new clinical results.
April 2026 in “Indian Journal of Dermatology” This study concluded that platelet-rich plasma therapy was as effective as intralesional triamcinolone acetonide in treating localized alopecia areata on the scalp.
This systematic review suggests that platelet-rich plasma may improve hair density, follicle survival, and hair growth when used with hair transplantation, though varied methods and lack of standardized evaluation limit the findings.
December 2022 in “Cureus” This review discusses the hormonal impact on hair growth and the relationship between endocrine disorders and hair changes, reporting no new clinical results.
August 2019 in “Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology” The shampoo helps reduce hair loss and improves Minoxidil® absorption.
July 2022 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that a new alcohol-free minoxidil hydrogel formulation showed comparable in vitro efficacy and skin absorption to the commercial minoxidil product for treating androgenetic alopecia.
March 2026 in “Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)” This study reports a novel geometric medicine solution, N‑K GM SERIES, claiming to eliminate aflatoxin, offer a universal cancer cure, and provide numerous health benefits, including increased life expectancy, with deployment focused on the "Aflatoxin Belt" regions like Sudan.
January 2015 in “DOAJ (DOAJ: Directory of Open Access Journals)” This study developed a precise and simple HPLC method for estimating tamsulosin and finasteride simultaneously in pharmaceutical forms, demonstrating good precision and potential usefulness for combined dosage analysis.
