Many young Sri Lankan women entering university have excessive hair growth.

This abstract discusses the unclear role of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in postembryonic life in marsupials and possibly humans, reporting no new findings.

In this study, oral cyproterone acetate reduced hair density and diameter in women with idiopathic hirsutism, but the effects were not permanent after stopping treatment, and plasma androgen levels remained unchanged.

In this prospective case series, intralesional triamcinolone injections significantly reduced erythema, edema, suppuration, size, and pain in acute hidradenitis suppurativa flares, though the study's small size and design limit the findings.

This review found that intermittent fasting might benefit skin health by enhancing skin regeneration, delaying aging, and improving inflammatory skin conditions; however, most evidence is based on preclinical data, indicating a need for more human trials to confirm these findings.

This study found that six months of using finasteride cream 0.5% did not significantly change the number or thickness of facial hair in women with hirsutism, although patients felt hair growth slowed.

Most women with excessive hair growth have PCOS; treatment varies and focuses on preventing new hair, with electrolysis as the only permanent removal method.

This review discusses the various aspects of insulin resistance and highlights its potential evolutionary benefits, reporting no new experimental findings.

This study identified polycystic ovarian syndrome as the most common cause of hirsutism among patients and found a positive correlation between hirsutism severity and free testosterone levels.

In this study, women with PCOS were found to have higher BMI, insulin resistance, and homocysteine levels, which are key predictors of the condition.

This study suggests that Houttuynia cordata extract may promote hair growth by stimulating dermal papilla cell proliferation and extending the anagen phase through enhanced energy metabolism and gene expression changes.

This study demonstrated that human dermal mesenchymal stem cells can be differentiated into cardiomyocytes using 5-azacytidine, suggesting potential future applications for treating myocardial infarction.

This study reported that patients with acanthosis nigricans and insulin resistance exhibited higher insulin levels and were associated with increased insulin resistance correlating with serum testosterone levels.

This study found that a 532 nm laser at 15 J/cm² enhanced the proliferation and differentiation of tendon-derived stem cells in rats, potentially accelerating tendon healing through the up-regulation of Nr4a1.

This article discusses the physiology of hair growth, how to identify excessive hair growth in women, and when to refer them for further medical assessment, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses various anti-androgen treatments for hirsutism, including androgen receptor blockers and inhibitors, and emphasizes the role of diagnosis in selecting the most appropriate therapy, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses hormone-related hair growth, hirsutism treatment options, and the combination of eflornithine and laser hair removal, reporting no new clinical results.

This study found that a protein-sparing modified fast may safely and effectively help maintain weight loss over a short period when supervised by a physician.

This article presents a protocol for using mouse tail skin to study hair follicle stem cells, enabling visualization of calcium signaling and other cellular features in various conditions but reports no new research data.

Brepocitinib reduces interferon signaling in hidradenitis suppurativa patients.

This study demonstrated that hair follicle cells can be induced to differentiate into cardiomyocyte-like cells in vitro, exhibiting characteristics and spontaneous beating typical of cardiac muscle, without genetic modification.

This review discusses the importance of early diagnosis and the management of hidradenitis suppurativa, reporting no new clinical results but highlighting current therapeutic approaches and need for collaboration in treatment.

This meta-analysis found that combination oral contraceptive pills effectively treat hirsutism but recommends adding an antiandrogen if response is inadequate after six months.

Home photobiomodulation therapy can improve life quality and mobility for disabled individuals.

In this study, topical application of Hominis Placenta significantly promoted hair regrowth and increased hair density in C57BL/6 mice, suggesting its potential as a treatment for alopecia.

In this study, females with hirsutism showed higher levels of certain androgens and reported more frequent symptoms such as infertility and increased skin greasiness compared to those without hirsutism.

This study found that visual hair density is better correlated with hair count and shaft diameter, leading to the development of the Hair Diameter Index used in planning hair restoration procedures.

This study discovered that TTR is expressed in the human placenta as early as 6 weeks gestation, with increased levels in the first trimester potentially facilitating thyroid hormone delivery to the fetus.

This study reported that human hair follicles containing pluripotent stem cells can differentiate into cardiac muscle and other cells, indicating their potential for future clinical applications in heart and nerve regeneration.

The pilot study found that while women with habitual short sleep increased their sleep duration by an average of 40.7 minutes, there were no significant changes in insulin sensitivity, androgens, or leptin levels post-intervention, suggesting further research is needed.
