This study found that adipose-derived stem cells from HIV-infected patients with lipodystrophy associated with HAART demonstrated similar growth and differentiation potential as those from HIV-uninfected patients, suggesting potential for autologous regenerative therapy.

This case report describes an instance of alopecia and severe seborrhoeic dermatitis potentially linked to the immune response from starting combination antiretroviral therapy for acute retroviral syndrome.

This case report documents a woman with HIV who developed severe hair loss after starting lopinavir-ritonavir, which improved upon switching to a different antiretroviral drug.

This study found a high prevalence of sexually transmitted infections, particularly anogenital warts and syphilis, among HIV-infected adults in Serbia, underscoring the importance of education on safe sex practices.

This report documents a rare case of alopecia universalis in an HIV-positive patient in Portugal, highlighting the changing comorbidity spectrum in this population due to increased life expectancy from antiretroviral therapy.

This study observed that in Korean HIV patients, tinea infection, folliculitis, and seborrheic dermatitis were the most common skin diseases, with HAART medications generally reducing folliculitis incidence. Skin disease prevalence differed by immune status, affecting treatment needs.

This study found that in HIV-infected men, erectile dysfunction was influenced by the duration of HIV infection but not associated with serum testosterone or HAART therapy.

This study suggests that early onset androgenetic alopecia in men may indicate a male PCOS equivalent, possibly leading to higher risks of metabolic and cardiovascular disorders later in life.

Men with a certain type of hair loss (AGA) have higher bad cholesterol and lower good cholesterol levels, making them more likely to get heart disease.

This publication discusses the 2021 ESC Guidelines for the prevention of cardiovascular disease in clinical practice and reports no new results.

Captopril may cause hair loss, as shown by a woman's hair regrowing after stopping the medication.

This article discusses the challenges of treating lichen planopilaris, reviews various therapeutic options including minoxidil, and reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that male patients with early-onset androgenetic alopecia were associated with metabolic syndrome, but not insulin resistance, compared to age-matched controls.

People with primary cicatricial alopecia have a higher risk of heart disease and stroke.

This study investigated various animal tissues from adult mice and embryonic chicks, finding that tissue stiffness follows a sub-linear power law relationship with Collagen-I levels, consistent with cellularized collagen gels but not acellular ones.

This study highlights the complex clinical issues associated with using low dose oral minoxidil for alopecia, emphasizing the need for careful cardiology-dermatology collaboration due to rare but serious cardiovascular risks, especially in patients with existing cardiorenal or cardiovascular concerns.

Hair loss may be linked to cardiovascular health problems.

This review discusses the clinical aspects, diagnosis, and treatment options for androgenetic alopecia, ultimately calling for further research, particularly regarding older populations and possible health risks.

This report describes a case of prolonged distributive shock attributed to minoxidil overdose, which involved intentional ingestion alongside trauma and NSAIDs, successfully managed with medications and hydration despite persistent low blood pressure.

This case study reported that an 18-year-old woman ingested a large amount of topical minoxidil, leading to symptoms like low blood pressure, increased heart rate, and elevated liver enzymes, but recovered fully after treatment. Minoxidil toxicity may rarely cause abnormal liver enzyme levels.

In this study, a 37-year-old female with resistant hypertension and signs of Cushing's syndrome and primary aldosteronism was found to have normal cortisol levels but high levels of cortisol and aldosterone via adrenal venous sampling, leading to a diagnosis confirmed by right adrenalectomy.

This review discusses the potential clinical benefits and functional properties of taurine as a conditionally essential amino acid, noting its presence in energy drinks, but reports no new experimental results.

This review discusses the association between alopecia and increased cardiovascular and metabolic risk but reports no definitive clinical results, emphasizing the need for more comprehensive studies on androgenetic alopecia patients.

Lower testosterone levels in men may be linked to a higher risk of severe coronary artery disease.

In this study, the vertex type of male pattern baldness was associated with increased cardiovascular risk factors, suggesting it may serve as a marker for cardiovascular evaluation in men.

In this study, no significant difference was found in serum triglyceride and HDL cholesterol levels between male patients with androgenetic alopecia and those without.

In this study, no significant relationship was found between androgenetic alopecia and hyperlipidemia, but higher levels of cholesterol, LDL, and triglycerides in AGA patients may suggest an increased risk of coronary heart disease.

Six new risk spots for early hair loss were found, which also link to Parkinson's disease and lower fertility. Two genes, FOXA2 and HDAC4, could be new treatment targets. Hair loss might also be connected to heart disease, metabolic syndrome, and prostate cancer.

This review covers recent developments in materials for in vitro and in vivo stem cell manipulation, highlighting innovative substrate properties but does not report new experimental results.

This review compiles data on how the apelinergic system may protect against heart damage caused by doxorubicin cancer treatment, suggesting its potential to mitigate cardiotoxicity, though further research in chronic models is needed to confirm these effects and mechanisms.
