This study found significantly higher hair cortisol concentrations in black children compared to white children aged 1-4 years, suggesting racial differences in cumulative stress as measured by hair cortisol.

This study found low concordance between distal and proximal hair cortisol concentrations during early pregnancy, particularly when measured with different assay methods.

This case study describes a man with long-standing alopecia universalis who experienced hair regrowth after taking testosterone, chorionic gonadotropin, and DHEA-S.

This case report highlights the need to consider complementary and alternative medicine use in endocrine evaluations, as stopping lavender oil use coincided with normalization of a concerning lab finding in a girl with precocious puberty signs.

A 19-year-old male with delayed puberty was successfully treated for a condition that prevents normal hormone production.

This study found that hair cortisol concentrations in mother-daughter pairs are a potential biomarker for cortisol responses to chronic stress, with daughter-mother similarities affected by parenting styles and children's symptoms.

This study found that women with PCOS have higher follicular fluid levels of testosterone and IL-6, despite similar NEFA levels to non-PCOS women, suggesting increased lipotoxicity impact on androgenesis in PCOS.

This case study reports an unusual presentation of erosive lichen planus of the scalp linked to hepatitis C in a patient, highlighting challenges in establishing a definitive correlation between the two conditions.

This compilation reviews multiple dermatologic studies, reporting findings such as the lack of a psoriasis-susceptibility allele in cluster 17, and highlighting a mouse model for studying hair follicle formation, among others.

This letter argues that the lymphangitis reported from using cantharidin on warts is instead a case of aseptic necrosis common to other aggressive wart treatments.

This article explores whether juxta-clavicular beaded and cutis punctata linearis colli are the same condition, finding both similarities and differences, but reports no new definitive findings.

This correspondence reports that using cantharidin on warts can result in lymphangitis, and dermatologists should consider all potential complications of treatments.

In this correspondence, the authors reported that patients on a 500-calorie crash diet with rapid weight loss experienced significant hair loss, which began months after dieting and gradually improved.

This letter to the editor describes two cases where stopping tetracycline treatment coincided with the disappearance of multiple flat warts on the face in young women.

This study developed new graded visual scales integrating macroscopic and trichoscopic images for assessing the severity of androgenetic alopecia in men and women, potentially aiding in more objective disease evaluation.

This study found that both finasteride and low level laser therapy were similarly effective in improving hair regrowth for frontal pattern hair loss in men and women over a 3-month period.

This study found that organ-cultured human scalp hair follicles can mimic chemotherapy-induced damage in vivo and serve as a model to explore molecular targets and protective agents for hair follicle preservation.

This review discusses the role of androgens in women's skin-related conditions like acne, hirsutism, and female pattern hair loss, noting the lack of dermatology guidelines for when to pursue endocrinologic evaluation.

This study found that combining Flutamide and an LHRH agonist in adult male rats effectively inhibited prostatic growth and reduced androgen-sensitive prostatic activity markers to levels similar to castrated rats.

This study suggests that pretreatment with a PPAR-γ modulator may prevent damage to hair follicle stem cells caused by a chemotherapy metabolite, potentially offering a strategy to mitigate permanent chemotherapy-induced alopecia.

In this study, Korean Red Ginseng showed protective effects against chemotherapy-induced premature hair follicle aging in an in vitro model by modulating specific cellular protein expressions.

17-β estradiol and prednisolone may speed up hair regrowth after chemotherapy.

This study found that three mousse products containing chlorhexidine and varying antifungal components maintained significant antibacterial activity against S. pseudintermedius in vitro for up to 10 days, while other mousses did not show significant differences.

This study found that transethosomal gel loaded with propranolol hydrochloride prolonged drug release and increased peak plasma concentration compared to an oral tablet, suggesting a promising alternative for delivery.

This study found that digital perm treatments using sodium thioglycolate lotion led to the most significant reduction in protein content and greater hair damage compared to other methods and lotions.

In this case study, a 2-year-old mixed breed dog with ehrlichiosis was treated successfully with a combination of doxycycline, symptomatic therapies, and environmental measures to eradicate Rhipicephalus sanguineus ticks, resulting in improved symptoms and no further tick infestation.

Chemotherapy can cause skin side effects that affect patients' lives, but they can be managed to avoid interrupting cancer treatment.

This study found that ALRN-6924 effectively protected human hair follicles from cyclophosphamide-induced damage in an ex vivo setting, suggesting it may reduce both acute and permanent chemotherapy-induced alopecia.

This study found that Korean Red Ginseng may protect against chemotherapy-induced alopecia by reducing hair follicle damage in a human hair follicle organ culture model.

A new topical finasteride formulation effectively promotes hair growth with fewer side effects.
