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

Finasteride is beneficial for BPH but requires careful monitoring due to cancer risks.

This review discusses the evolution and potential of non-invasive imaging techniques for diagnosing scalp diseases, highlighting their advantages and limitations compared to trichoscopy and scalp biopsy, the current diagnostic standards.

This case report describes a postmenopausal woman with virilization linked to ovarian stromal hyperthecosis, highlighting the importance of detailed clinical evaluation and complementary testing for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

In this study, finasteride pretreatment led to EEG changes in rats that suggest a mild reduction in thioacetamide-induced hepatic encephalopathy.

This study observed that human dental pulp stem cells can differentiate into adipocytes and osteocytes, but their potential for neural differentiation remains uncertain due to similar responses seen in undifferentiated cells.

This article argues that polysomnographic studies recommended for factitious leg ulcers in patients may be based on faulty assumptions about causality related to unusual sleep disorders.

This review outlines the potential of soft bioelectronics in wound care, emphasizing their ability to monitor and manage wounds through integrated smart systems and identifying challenges for future advancements in the field.

In this case study, an 80-year-old woman developed lichen planus pigmentosus inversus after receiving multiple intra-articular injections of a homeopathic preparation, suggesting a possible link, though causality remains speculative.

In this study, trichoscopy significantly improved diagnostic accuracy in non-cicatricial alopecia, identifying alopecia areata as the most common cause and effectively aiding diagnosis in 28.2% of ambiguous cases.

In this study, researchers developed a hybrid deep learning model called ScalpViT that accurately diagnosed scalp diseases with 94.3% accuracy, surpassing existing methods like ResNet-50 and EfficientNet-B3, and providing visual explainability for clinicians using GradCAM and Attention Rollout techniques.

In this study, a polyphenol and biotin supplement improved skin roughness and significantly reduced hair shedding, but did not demonstrate clear superiority over placebo in overall skin outcomes.

This study found that camera trap images revealed mange-like skin lesions in snow leopards and other species in Kyrgyz reserves, with detection rates varying widely and raising concerns about disease spread.

This study reports conflicting evidence on whether GLP-1 receptor agonists are associated with various forms of alopecia, suggesting dermatology practitioners should consider monitoring and counseling patients using these medications.

In this retrospective study, dupilumab treatment in young children with alopecia areata and atopic features was linked to full hair regrowth without serious adverse events, though findings from this small cohort should be interpreted cautiously.

The researchers reported creating a Human Hair Atlas that maps over 1200 molecular species in hair, revealing up to 50% variation in metabolite and lipid levels along the hair's length, and identified 122 exposome-related compounds from personal care products.

This article reviews recent advancements in forensic hair testing, emphasizing its growing use for detecting past substance exposure, identifying emerging trends like micro-segmentation and hair scanning, and proposing standardized procedures to improve reliability and application in forensic toxicology.

This study observed that adolescents with alopecia areata receiving ritlecitinib 50 mg daily showed notable hair regrowth over three years, as seen in both clinician- and patient-reported outcomes. However, the decreased number of participants at later stages limits the findings.

This study reports that subcutaneous testosterone pellets in peri- and postmenopausal women provided sustained hormone release and potential benefits for sexual function, but raised concerns about safety, variability, and dosing inconsistencies.

This systematic review reported that among men taking finasteride for benign prostatic hyperplasia, total PSA levels decreased by 30% to 50%, and free PSA by up to 45%, with reductions in prostate volume and PSA density observed as well.

In this study, dental professionals in Pakistan showed limited use of AI but saw potential benefits in diagnostics, particularly noting differences in AI adoption based on specialty and experience levels.

In this study, the researchers reconstructed Abraham's family pedigree from the Bible's book of Genesis to explore potential medical or genetic explanations for reported cases of familial infertility, linking historical accounts with plausible scientific reasoning.

This study found that reports of suicidal ideations linked to oral finasteride were significantly higher in 2013–2018 and 2019–2023 compared to 2006–2011, potentially due to increased awareness of post-finasteride syndrome from 2012 onward. No such signals were seen with oral dutasteride.

This study found that 51.1% of healthcare professionals with confirmed COVID-19 reported dermatological symptoms, with hair loss being the most common, and highlighted a potential link between prophylactic vitamin D use and red papule skin lesions that warrants further investigation.

This study examined the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System database and found significant associations between low-dose oral minoxidil use and adverse events like pericardial effusion, highlighting the need for caution and recommending the use of the lowest effective dose until more safety data are available.

Certain genetic variants and pathways are linked to hair loss.

In this study, researchers observed that graded calorie restriction in mice led to changes in stable isotope ratios and elemental content in bone collagen and hair keratin, potentially indicating intensified mobilization of endogenous proteins and altered bone collagen structure with increased dietary stress.

This correspondence comments on a 2023 study by Nagaoka et al. regarding the maternal–fetal safety of an aqueous extract of Casearia sylvestris leaves in rats, but it does not provide new results or data.

In this in silico study, researchers found that the hair follicle's contribution to dermal permeability of small molecules varies with the lipophilic and hydrophilic properties of substances, highlighting the need for careful characterization of substances filling the follicular route when interpreting experimental permeability data.

Nails are a useful alternative to hair for analyzing long-term substance exposure.
