This case report suggests that oral finasteride, used for benign prostatic hyperplasia, may be associated with intraoperative floppy-iris syndrome during cataract surgery.

This review discusses using human follicular fluid in metabolomic analysis as a diagnostic tool and predictor of success in assisted reproductive technology for PCOS patients, reporting no new results.

This study reported that GFP labeling driven by the K15 promoter enables visualization and selection of stem cells in adult human scalp hair follicles for further analysis and manipulation.

This review describes techniques to manage intraoperative floppy iris syndrome linked to alpha-1 blocker use in cataract surgery, highlighting the need for patient disclosure of medication use but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that mechanical stress activates a WISP-1/Hedgehog signaling axis that contributes to ligamentum flavum hypertrophy and fibrosis, identifying Hedgehog signaling as a potential therapeutic target.

This study found that Puerariae Flos extract inhibited testosterone 5α-reductase and promoted hair growth in mouse models, suggesting its potential use for treating androgenic alopecia.

This article reviews the history and methods of hair removal, highlighting electrolysis as the only FDA-recognized permanent option, but it presents no new findings.

This study found that selected polymeric pretreatments on hair can significantly reduce breakage and protect against thermal damage from hot flat irons by maintaining cuticle integrity and moisture.

This case report suggests a possible association between long-term finasteride use for male pattern baldness and the development of cataracts and intraoperative floppy-iris syndrome in a patient.

This article discusses intraoperative floppy iris syndrome during cataract surgery and highlights the importance of awareness and preoperative documentation of its risk factors, emphasizing a multidisciplinary approach to management.

This study characterized the stress-strain properties of the human scalp and found that its stiffness increases significantly with load, providing valuable insights for planning scalp surgery procedures.

This review discusses the traditional uses, pharmacology, clinical applications, and toxicology of Carthami flos but reports no new clinical results, aiming to inform further research on its medicinal potential.

This study found that capped mesoporous silica nanoparticles conjugated with antibodies selectively released a dye when exposed to finasteride, with low detection limits and stable performance even after storage.

In this study, ultradeformable liposomes containing Tween 20 or terpenes increased phospholipid bilayer fluidity and enhanced skin penetration of sodium fluorescein, with terpenes improving hair follicle penetration.

This article reviews the use of the Juri procedure for transferring hair to bald scalps, achieving satisfactory cosmetic results in all patients over two years, but reports no new clinical findings.

This article discusses scalp reconstruction techniques using rotation flaps, with no new clinical results reported.

This study found weak to very weak correlations between estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone levels in the cerebrospinal fluid and serum of males without cerebral disorders.

This study found that transplanting GFP transgenic tail skin onto wild-type mice leads to partial replacement of dermis, nerves, and blood vessels by recipient tissue after six months, while epidermis, hair follicles, and sebaceous glands persist from the graft.

Minoxidil affects rat fluid dynamics, altering pressure and circulation, improving blood flow and hair growth.

This study found that micro-needling combined with topical 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) was more effective in treating vitiligo patches than topical tacrolimus, with significant improvement observed in six patients, although it caused mild side effects like erythema and irritation.

This case report highlights the successful use of the Bardach modification of the curved tripod flap for repairing cicatricial pressure alopecia, offering a natural appearance and effective tension distribution in scalp reconstruction.

This study found that progesterone derivatives with chlorine or bromine substituents were effective in inhibiting 5α-reductase activity in human prostate and exhibited antiandrogenic effects in hamster flank organs.

This study found that fluorescence excitation spectroscopy could be a promising noninvasive tool for assessing the effects of comedolytic agents like retinoids on acne-like lesions in rhino mice.

This study found that adipose-derived stem cell-conditioned media improved skin flap survival following ischemia/reperfusion injury in mice by increasing cell proliferation and the number of hair follicles, mediated by IL-6.

This study suggests that the secretome from amniotic fluid-derived mesenchymal stem cells overexpressing Nanog could stimulate hair growth and increase follicle density, potentially aiding in alopecia treatment.

This study concluded that low-level fluence 810 nm diode laser therapy was generally well tolerated, safe, and effective for long-term hair reduction in a small sample of patients with various skin types.

This study found that muscle-only free flaps for skull coverage were associated with serious complications, suggesting that composite or thicker muscle flaps may reduce these risks.
