This study observed that electro-acupuncture reduced global DNA methylation and DNMT3b expression in a PCOS-like rat model, suggesting a role of hypothalamic DNA methylation in PCOS development and treatment.

In this study, vitiligo and alopecia areata were more common among patients with chronic graft-vs-host disease than previously reported, linked to higher NIH skin scores and greater immunosuppressive treatment.

Many women with hard-to-treat acne also have PCOS.

This study reports an increased frequency of the DI genotype of the ACE gene polymorphism among women with PCOS, notably in those with hyperandrogenism, and an association of the II genotype with insulin resistance.

This study found that dual-frequency ultrasound with microbubble cavitation significantly enhanced minoxidil delivery and hair growth in both lab and animal models compared to single-frequency ultrasound, without damaging the skin in mice.

This study observed a high incidence of transient infantile zinc deficiency among breastfeeding infants in Northern Ethiopia, but could not determine if genetic or nutritional factors or both contributed to it.

This article reviews historical approaches to electrolysis for permanent hair removal and suggests improvements in equipment, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that combining high-frequency ultrasound with clinical examination significantly improved the diagnostic accuracy of invisible subcutaneous lesions from 47.3% to 80.8%, especially for conditions like epidermoid cysts and lipomas, although it was less effective for rarer lesions such as dermatofibromas.

This study found that exposure to extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields at specific intensities significantly enhanced human hair follicle cell activation and proliferation, suggesting a potential new treatment approach for alopecia.

This study found that patients with GERD and UCTD have significantly more frequent phenotypic and visceral markers than those with GERD alone, which should inform early diagnostic and treatment strategies.

This article reviews the use of high-frequency ultrasonography to visualize nail units and scalps in dermatology, highlighting its potential benefits for disease assessment and treatment monitoring, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that high-frequency ultrasonography may effectively distinguish different stages of alopecia areata and differentiate it from other scalp conditions.

This study found that 37.4% of high-school students in rural Eskisehir had alopecia, with affected students experiencing poorer health-related quality of life, particularly in general health perception, vitality, and mental health.

This study found that in a sample of female adolescents in Shiraz, the most common PCOS phenotype was hyperandrogenic with polycystic ovary syndrome, warranting further investigation due to associated risks.

This study found that certain Y-chromosome alleles may influence susceptibility to prostate cancer among Iraqi males, suggesting potential genetic screening markers for the disease.

This study demonstrated that exposing hair follicle organ cultures to extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields at 10 G intensity for 60 minutes promoted hair growth, suggesting its potential as a treatment for hair loss.

In this study, researchers observed that exposure to low-frequency electromagnetic fields enhanced hair follicle regeneration and formation of hair follicle-like structures in bioengineered skin in nude mice.

This study found that patients with androgenetic alopecia had thinner scalp and subcutaneous tissues, narrower and shorter hair follicles, a lower hair follicle count, and fewer color flow signals compared to healthy volunteers, as measured by 22 MHz ultrasound.

This study tested five different brands of hair building fibers, examining their electrostatic and dielectric properties as well as analyzing their fiber structure with scanning electron microscopy.

This descriptive literature review suggests that rosemary essential oil may stimulate hair growth in androgenetic alopecia with effects similar to 2% minoxidil, yet highlights the need for more robust clinical trials to confirm these findings and assess complementary methods like scalp massage and high-frequency treatment.

This study investigated the effectiveness of combining microneedling with 2% topical minoxidil in women with mild-to-moderate androgenetic alopecia and found that adding microneedling every 2 or 4 weeks did not enhance outcomes compared to using minoxidil alone over 24 weeks.

Low-frequency electromagnetic fields may help treat hair loss by promoting hair regrowth.

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

In this study, the combination of castor or cedar oils with high-frequency treatment was associated with the growth of new hair, improved hair density, and increased hair strand thickness among patients with androgenetic alopecia, although it did not significantly affect scalp oiliness.

This study reports that high-frequency ultrasound can characterize frontal fibrosing alopecia by assessing dermal atrophy, hair follicle changes, and subclinical inflammation.

This study found that among patients with suppurative hidradenitis, 45.8% had severe acne and 33.3% had pilonidal cysts, with a higher prevalence in men, and these conditions were associated with the severity of hidradenitis and comorbidities like depression, peripheral neuropathy, and lymphoma.

In this study, researchers observed that all kidney transplant patients at a Mexico City hospital developed at least one type of skin condition, with infectious dermatoses being the most common. The authors recommend dermatological assessments before transplantation to manage dermatoses, potentially reducing related health risks.

This case-control study observed that individuals with alopecia universalis and patchy alopecia areata had a higher frequency of fatty liver compared to controls, though the differences were not statistically significant.

Drinking alcohol 1-2 times a week may reduce urinary symptoms, but drinking more often might increase the risk.

This study quantified the effects of chemical treatments like oxidative bleaching and hair relaxing on the movement characteristics of hair strands using a novel high-speed recording method.
