This review examines AAS-related deaths and finds that anabolic-androgenic steroid abuse may lead to severe cardiac abnormalities, contributing to fatal arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death in young athletes and bodybuilders.

This study reported common skin changes and symptoms associated with thyroid disorders, such as dry skin in hypothyroidism and warm, soft skin in hyperthyroidism, and noted urticaria as a frequent autoimmune association in hypothyroid patients.

This study found that in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis, higher serum dihydrotestosterone levels were associated with increased myocardial hypertrophy, fibrosis, and reduced left ventricular function.

This letter discusses adverse events related to low-dose oral minoxidil for alopecia, highlighting age-related risks and stressing the importance of contraindication awareness with no new clinical results presented.

This letter discusses the state of laser hair transplantation as of its 1996 publication but reports no new findings or clinical results.

This article reports that the use of an ultrasharp tungsten electrode was deemed a useful tool in hundreds of scalp reduction procedures for hair restoration at Peterson Medical Institute.

This article discusses the lack of national credentialing for laser therapy practitioners and emphasizes the need for rigorous self-assessment and expertise, particularly when treating patients with darker skin, without presenting new research results.

Low-dose oral minoxidil is safe for the heart in the short term for hair loss patients.

This case report describes a patient who developed Trichodysplasia spinulosa, a folliculocentric viral infection, after heart transplantation, and experienced improvement in her skin condition following modulation of immunosuppressive therapy and application of topical cidofovir.

This study reviewed existing literature and found that androgenic alopecia may be associated with cardiovascular risk factors, while evidence for alopecia areata and cicatricial alopecias is limited and sometimes contradictory.

This review discusses the mechanisms of laser and IPL hair removal, particularly for darker skin types, and reports no new findings, highlighting potential adverse effects like pigmentation changes or scarring with improper use.

This review discusses the complex process of wound healing and emerging areas of interest in wound treatment, reporting no new clinical findings.

In this case study, long-term treatment with acitretin significantly improved chronic skin conditions like erythematosquamous plaques and follicular hyperkeratoses in a patient, but stopping the treatment led to severe worsening of symptoms.

Hair shaft changes may be linked to CCCA, but their role is unclear.

This study found that the Epilight multiple wavelength pulsed-intense light source was effective for long-lasting hair removal, particularly in individuals with dark hair and light skin.

In this study, changing lifestyle habits, maintaining scalp hygiene, and using medications like Minoxidil were reported to help prevent and treat hair loss conditions such as androgenetic and scarring alopecia, which may otherwise impact brain protection by reducing scalp hair.

This study reported successful outcomes in over 40 patients undergoing reparative surgical techniques for previously unsuccessful hair restoration, with significant improvements in appearance despite potential challenges like limited donor hair and scalp scarring.

This review discusses the uncommon but potentially serious cutaneous reactions to beta-adrenergic blockers and the uncertain pathogenesis, with no new clinical results reported.

In this study, hair follicle transplantation on scars showed varied success rates, with burn scars achieving better results than incision scars, and often requiring multiple procedures for optimal outcomes.

This meta-analysis reports that vertex baldness is associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease, particularly in younger men, while no significant link was found for frontal baldness.

This study found that using cultured mesenchymal stem cells from mouse whisker hair follicle outer root sheath in wound healing reduced inflammation, accelerated closure, and resulted in less hypertrophic scarring in mice.

This Mendelian randomization study suggests possible bidirectional causal links between alopecia and sleep characteristics, but findings require cautious interpretation due to multiple testing, highlighting the need for further research to explore underlying mechanisms and broader applicability.
