In this study, researchers reported that both progestin-only injectable contraceptives, DMPA-IM and NET-EN, significantly decreased serum testosterone and SHBG levels among HIV-negative women in South Africa, yet this did not explain prior findings of no reduction in risky sexual behavior or sexual function.

This study found that a transdermal delivery system using 3% azone and P407 gel may enhance the skin permeation of doxazosin and finasteride for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia.

This study found that a microneedle patch containing tofacitinib-loaded nanoparticles significantly increased hair follicle numbers and promoted hair regeneration with less drug compared to daily topical tofacitinib, suggesting it may be an effective strategy for alopecia treatment by reducing dosing frequency and enhancing drug delivery.

This study found that long-term use of difluprednate ophthalmic emulsion in dogs can lead to HPA axis suppression and potentially cause iatrogenic hyperadrenocorticism, with localized alopecia suspected due to dermal absorption.

The patches could quickly deliver epilepsy treatment and reduce seizures.

This study found that SER120 nasal spray significantly improved nocturia symptoms and quality of life compared to placebo in patients 50 years and older, with both tested doses showing efficacy and an acceptable safety profile over a 12-week period.

This study found that a specific amino-pyridine compound showed potent androgen receptor antagonist activity, stimulating hair growth in mice and reducing sebum production in a hamster model.

In this study, cetirizine hydrochloride was formulated into niosomal and cubosomal gels, showing potential for off-label use in treating androgenic alopecia due to effective skin permeation and acceptable safety profiles; cubosomal gels exhibited superior permeation compared to niosomal gels.

This study suggests that metformin may be more effective than Dianette in treating moderate to severe hirsutism in women with PCOS, while also reducing markers of insulin resistance.

This study found that cetirizine-loaded niosomal gels demonstrated superior skin deposition and retention compared to plain cetirizine gel, suggesting potential for improved topical management of alopecia.

This review examines the potential of swellable microneedles in drug delivery and diagnostics, highlighting innovations and challenges in their use for chronic disease treatment, but noting that issues like physiological responsiveness and long-term stability still require research.

This study reports that a 9-week-old infant with Netherton syndrome showed rapid and sustained symptom improvement, including skin microbiome normalization and developmental progress, after off-label dupilumab treatment, without adverse reactions.

This case study details the successful use of metyrapone to manage severe Cushing’s disease symptoms and stabilize a patient’s biochemical parameters before she underwent pituitary surgery.

Tiny particles carrying roxithromycin can effectively target and deliver the drug to hair follicles without irritation.

This study found that an oral testosterone formulation normalized serum testosterone levels and significantly reduced SHBG in men with experimentally induced hypogonadism after nine days of treatment, suggesting potential efficacy for testosterone deficiency.

This research found that the new combination drug Predstanormix Duo, with dutasteride and tamsulosin, is bioequivalent to established treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia, showing similar pharmacokinetics and safety, potentially improving treatment availability and adherence in high-risk patients.

This study developed dissolving microneedles using specific polymers for transdermal delivery of rizatriptan benzoate, demonstrating improved drug skin penetration and significant alleviation of migraine symptoms in vivo compared to passive diffusion, suggesting potential advantages over conventional treatment methods for acute migraine.

In this study, nifedipine provided rapid symptomatic relief in most patients with severe recalcitrant perniosis, but some experienced side effects that limited dosage and two patients were lost to follow-up.

This study found that hidradenitis suppurativa encounters most commonly occur with family or internal medicine providers, with frequent opiate prescriptions and low use of nonantibiotic systemic treatments.

This study developed innovative silica/natural polysaccharide hybrid nanoparticles encapsulating plant-derived 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors, reporting effective controlled release at hair follicle pH and lower cytotoxicity, suggesting a promising delivery system for antiandrogenic treatments.

Adalimumab significantly improves quality of life for patients with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa.

This case series reported that three pediatric patients with hidradenitis suppurativa showed decreased frequency and severity of disease flares after treatment with oral finasteride, with no significant adverse effects.

This study found that formulation factors like pH, viscosity, and chemical enhancers can significantly influence intrafollicular hydrocortisone permeation in vitro, with higher pH and enhancers reducing follicular contribution.

This study found that administering botulinum toxin A via Flex-PADs to mouse footpads inhibited sweating similarly to traditional injections, suggesting a promising patient-friendly delivery method for hyperhidrosis treatment.

This paper reviews the role of various hormonal therapies in treating hidradenitis suppurativa and does not report new clinical results.

This study described a novel three-dimensional-printed microneedle system designed for improved transdermal delivery of minoxidil to treat hair loss, demonstrating effective hair regrowth and safety in a mouse model while allowing sustainable needle base recovery.

This report covers the diagnosis and treatment of equine pemphigus foliaceus presented by a case study of a Hackney pony mare, showing improvement with prednisolone treatment.

This study evaluated amphiphilic self-assembling peptides as drug delivery systems and found they effectively ensured prolonged release and therapeutic efficacy for timolol in glaucoma and for chemotherapy agents in cancer treatment, with significant tumor size reduction observed in animal models.
