This study found that nafarelin treatment significantly reduced androgen levels and improved hirsutism symptoms in women, suggesting it may be useful for managing this condition.

This review discusses the adverse effects of 5α-reductase inhibitors, finasteride and dutasteride, on sexual, psychological, and vascular health, emphasizing the need for physicians to inform patients of these risks.

This study found that both finasteride and flutamide effectively reduce hirsutism in women with polycystic ovary syndrome or idiopathic hirsutism, but flutamide was more effective.

This study concluded that finasteride, cyproterone acetate, and flutamide were similarly effective at reducing hirsutism in women, though they acted through different mechanisms.

This study found that finasteride effectively reduced hirsutism in women during 12 months of treatment, with some effects persisting in the majority after stopping the medication.

This review explores how androgens and growth hormone influence the development of terminal hairs and sebaceous glands, attributing variability in hirsutism and acne to differing genetic sensitivities to androgens, but reports no new experimental data.

This review discusses histopathologic findings in diagnosing primary cicatricial alopecias and emphasizes the importance of correlating histology with clinical presentation for accurate diagnosis; it reports no new results.

In this study, application of salicylic acid solution on mouse skin showed histologic changes without causing wounds or inflammation, observed immediately and up to 48 hours after treatment.

This study found that treatment with leuprolide plus cyclic estrogen/progestin may lead to a faster and greater improvement in hirsutism compared to a standard oral contraceptive regimen.

This review discusses various theories of the causes and management strategies for hidradenitis suppurativa, reporting no new experimental results, with a focus on the immune basis of the disease.

This review examines histochemical and immunohistochemical markers to differentiate apocrine and eccrine sweat glands, highlighting their distinct markers, though it reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that concentrations of haloperidol and its metabolite in human scalp hair significantly correlated with the daily dose and plasma trough levels in patients taking haloperidol.

This study found that in young Taiwanese women with PCOS, low sex hormone-binding globulin levels were associated with low HDL cholesterol levels, independent of insulin resistance and obesity.

In this study, women with idiopathic hirsutism who took finasteride for 9 months experienced a significant reduction in hirsutism scores compared to those receiving a placebo, with minimal side effects.

This study found that both cyproterone acetate and spironolactone effectively reduced hair diameter and plasma testosterone levels in hirsute women, with no significant differences between the two treatments.

This study reported that estrogen-progestin oral contraceptives, antiandrogens, and insulin sensitizers are more effective than placebo in treating hirsutism in women, with combination therapies generally proving superior to monotherapy.

This paper reviews causes of hirsutism in women and emphasizes the importance of identifying underlying conditions for risk assessment, though it reports no new clinical findings.

This article discusses the causes of hirsutism, identifying increased androgen production and heightened skin sensitivity, and provides no new clinical results.

This review discusses medical treatments for hirsutism, focusing on oral contraceptives and other therapies, but reports no new results; the authors emphasize the lack of evidence for insulin sensitizers in treating hirsutism alone.

This article reviews the role of perifollicular regulatory T cells in maintaining hair follicle integrity in the context of hidradenitis suppurativa and calls attention to inflammatory mechanisms without reporting new clinical results.

This review discusses hidradenitis suppurativa's pathogenesis, including its inflammatory nature and the role of smoking as a triggering factor, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that serum 3 alpha-diol G levels in women with idiopathic hirsutism correlated well with their clinical response to treatment, suggesting its usefulness in evaluating treatment outcomes.

This review highlights the increasing clinical applications of high-frequency ultrasonography in dermatology, particularly for assessing the depth of skin tumors and monitoring inflammatory skin diseases, but reports no new clinical results.

This report describes a case where hidradenitis suppurativa developed in a patient receiving lithium, adding to the recognized cutaneous side effects like psoriasis, acneiform lesions, and alopecia.

This study found that women with PCOS reported higher overall psychological distress, but there was no significant link between their perceived hirsutism and this distress.

In this study, treatment with the oral contraceptive containing 30 μg ethinyl oestradiol and 150 μg desogestrel significantly reduced androgen-dependent hair growth in hirsute women over one year.

This review discusses hirsutism in women with PCOS who present with normal androgen levels and highlights diagnostic challenges, reporting no new clinical findings.

In animal models, this study reported that a wound dressing combining quaternized chitin and silk fibroin significantly enhanced vascular reconstruction and hair follicle regeneration, approaching normal tissue levels.

This study found that Diane 35 combined with finasteride led to a greater reduction in hirsutism scores over 12 months compared to Diane 35 alone.

This case report describes an HIV-infected patient on HAART who developed autoimmune diseases, including alopecia universalis and Graves' disease, associated with immune restoration after CD4 cell count increases.
