This study using an apertureless scanning near-field optical microscope found that dye restricted to hair's periphery remains mainly on the surface and in the endocuticle.

This study found that teriflunomide, an oral medication taken once daily, significantly slowed disability progression in patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis, supported by positive results in two Phase III trials and supplemented by various analyses including long-term studies and patient-reported outcomes.

TrichoScan accurately measures hair growth and loss, showing increased hair counts and thickness with treatment.

This study found that human hair follicle dermal papilla cells and keratinocytes self-assembled differently in 3D spheroid co-cultures, providing insights into cell distribution and organogenesis during skin regeneration.

This study found that selenium therapy could normalize metabolic and endocrine markers and improve clinical outcomes in cystic fibrosis patients, with stable benefits when administered at a lower dosage over a year.

In this study, preoperative use of finasteride was associated with reduced blood loss and vascular endothelial growth factor expression during TURP, suggesting a potential benefit in preventing transurethral resection syndrome.

This case report highlights the potential for laser hair reduction treatments to trigger Fox-Fordyce disease, a chronic skin disorder, and underscores the need for awareness and management strategies among patients and clinicians.

The researchers reported that fluconazole was only modestly effective for treating sporotrichosis, particularly for osteoarticular or visceral cases, and is best considered a second-line treatment.

This study suggests that glaucoma patients may face increased risk of optic nerve injury if prescribed medications that can lower blood pressure.

This review summarizes late-breaking abstracts from the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery, 2018, and reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, sodium fluoride at certain concentrations increased the MDA levels in cultured human hair follicles, while 0.01 mmol/L sodium selenite reduced this effect at lower fluoride concentrations.

In this study, researchers investigated how 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) impacts hair follicle cells, finding that it delays hair growth by inhibiting angiogenesis and β-catenin signaling. This discovery could help develop treatments for chemotherapy-induced alopecia in cancer patients receiving 5-FU.

This review discusses the complexities of diagnosing polycystic ovary syndrome and reports no new results; the authors suggest a thorough and careful diagnostic approach to avoid misdiagnosis and unnecessary tests.

This chapter reviews trichoscopic criteria and diagnostic features for various hair and scalp conditions, emphasizing their utility in non-invasive diagnosis, but reports no new clinical results.

This study suggests that using ex vivo dermatoscopy can improve the accuracy of scalp biopsy processing by correctly guiding tissue bisection and potentially reducing laboratory costs and turnaround time.

This study reports a new method for selectively synthesizing finasteride Form-I in good yield using water as an ecofriendly solvent at room temperature.

This study concluded that intraprostatic injection with drugs and high frequency thermotherapy was more effective for treating prostatitis after TURP than a combination of antibiotherapy, tamsulosin, and finasteride.

This review discusses the evolution of surgical robotics and examines the potential and current limitations of autonomous and intelligent systems in robotic-assisted surgeries.

In this study, researchers observed a dose-dependent occurrence of persistent radiation-induced alopecia in patients with primary CNS tumors or head and neck sarcomas, noting distinctive patterns and features, and suggesting potential benefits of topical minoxidil and procedural interventions for treatment.

This study found that utilizing a clinical pharmacist in perioperative urological services reduced surgical cancellations and resident overtime while improving service efficiency and financial sustainability.

This study reviewed existing evidence on using PRP to manage ankle osteoarthritis, reporting significant short-term improvements in pain and function in patients with stage II-III OA, but concluded there is insufficient high-quality evidence to establish its overall effectiveness and safety.

This case report describes a 26-year-old man whose abdominal pain and other symptoms led to a diagnosis of celiac disease-induced small-bowel intussusceptions, which resolved with a gluten-free diet.

This review explores current advancements and applications of intravital imaging techniques for studying stem/progenitor cells in craniofacial and dental tissues, but it reports no new experimental findings.

This study suggests that while low-cost videomicroscopes can correctly identify hair shaft alterations, they may be unreliable for detailed follicular and perifollicular trichoscopic examination compared to standard videodermatoscopes.

This review of teriflunomide for relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis examines its clinical and safety outcomes, finding it significantly reduces relapse rates and disability progression while being generally well-tolerated.

This study reported that trichoscopy can identify specific hair shaft abnormalities linked to increased serological activity, highlighting its use as a valuable non-invasive diagnostic tool in pediatric dermatology for neonates with ECS.

This study found that trichoscopy can confirm the diagnosis and assess the clinical severity of female androgenetic alopecia, correlating specific features with different severity grades.

This research found that modifying brachytherapy seeds with contrast-enhancing materials in photoacoustic imaging increased signal-to-noise ratios and imaging depth, and demonstrated potential for tissue differentiation by analyzing temperature-induced changes in PA intensity.
