This review updates on the understanding and management of eating disorders, noting substantial progress over 30 years but highlighting the need for revised classification, clarified pathogenesis, and improved treatments.

This article proposes two new categories of cicatricial alopecia—“unstable” and “stable”—and suggests surgical excision as preferred over hair transplantation, especially for unstable cases.

This study found no evidence of androgen deficiency or decreased peripheral androgen action in men with persistent sexual symptoms after finasteride use, but identified links to depressed mood and abnormal brain function.

Negative expectations can cause adverse effects in patients even without active treatment, and managing this nocebo effect involves better communication and patient-clinician relationships.

This study found that electrospun short fibrous sponges effectively mimic the 3D extracellular matrix, promoting tissue regeneration, angiogenesis, and wound healing in diabetic rats better than 2D fiber membranes.

This report describes a case of meningioma in a transwoman treated long-term with estradiol and cyproterone acetate, suggesting possible concern over female sex steroids and meningioma risk.

In this study, patients with seasonal affective disorder were found to have increased functional connectivity in certain brain networks and higher low-frequency fluctuations compared to healthy controls, which aligns with their attentional and psychomotor symptoms.

This study suggests that stress may worsen Tourette syndrome symptoms in mice by increasing allopregnanolone synthesis, with findings supporting finasteride as a potential treatment to manage symptom fluctuations.

This review explores potential new roles for Merkel cells, including involvement in magnetoreception, fingerprint formation, and transmitting environmental information, but reports no experimental results.

In this study, researchers identified three molecules in hair that varied with age, suggesting potential markers for aging and targets for cosmetic products.

This research examined the ultrastructure of deer hair fibers and found significant variations in diameter, cuticle thickness, and intermediate filament arrangements among different fiber types.

New treatments for prostate cancer are less toxic and show promise, but more research is needed to enhance their effectiveness and reduce side effects.

This review explores the role of neutrophil recruitment in the inflammation seen in hidradenitis suppurativa and emphasizes potential therapeutic targets within these pathways, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study suggests that in an ex vivo rat glaucoma model, TSPO activation is involved in Allopregnanolone synthesis and may help prevent retinal damage, with TSPO agonists as potential therapeutic agents.

This study concludes that egg shell membrane hydrolysates, particularly Fraction I, may effectively mitigate UV-B radiation-induced wrinkles and promote skin collagen and hyaluronic acid production, suggesting potential use in functional cosmetics.

This study found that Cacumen Platycladi volatile oil promotes dermal papilla cell proliferation and enhances hair growth in mice, outperforming minoxidil and showing no obvious cytotoxic effects.

This review analyzes how androgens impact sexual desire and reproductive behaviors, emphasizing molecular interactions, but provides no new clinical results.

This preliminary study found that poplar seed hair fibers have promising properties for use as environmentally friendly, lightweight insulation, with similar thermal resistance to wool and polyester despite being slightly less effective than down.

This study introduced a novel nonsteroidal androgen receptor antagonist that effectively controls sebum production in the golden Syrian hamster ear model through targeted follicular delivery.

This review discusses the clinical guidelines for hidradenitis suppurativa, detailing its definition, impacts, and treatments, and includes a proposed therapeutic approach algorithm, but reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the wound healing process and the factors contributing to abnormal scarring after thermal injuries, but it reports no new clinical results.

This article discusses scalp tissue expansion as a superior reconstructive option for large defects over traditional skin grafts and flap methods, but reports no new clinical outcomes.

This book discusses various unanswered questions about headaches, including genetic factors, smartphone effects, and botulinum toxin's potential benefits for chronic migraines, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study identified pantolactam based compounds as effective topical antagonists of the androgen receptor, reducing sebum components in a hamster model.

This article discusses the diagnostic and therapeutic approach for immune-mediated central nervous system diseases but reports no new clinical findings.

This study concluded that the GIANT brain atlas, which integrates genetic and neuroanatomical variations, provides a more accurate representation of brain structure than traditional neuroanatomical atlases, allowing for better exploration of genetic influences on the brain.

This study found that stress and its related symptoms were highly prevalent among university students in Egypt during the third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, with most reporting negative coping strategies.

This review discusses the characteristics and potential clinical applications of platelet-rich plasma in Brazil, emphasizing the need for standardized protocols and regulatory oversight to ensure safety and efficacy.

The researchers reported that corticosteroid treatments for alopecia areata led to clinical improvement but did not significantly alter oxidative stress markers, suggesting a limited regulatory effect on these systems.

Burn scars form abnormally due to changes in wound healing, and more research is needed to improve treatments.
