Finasteride reduces testosterone conversion, progesterone lessens this, and levamisole enhances finasteride's effect.

This case report describes a 52-year-old woman who developed retiform purpura after using cocaine likely adulterated with levamisole, highlighting the need for levamisole detection in such cases.

This study suggests that levamisole and finasteride can significantly reduce DHT levels in human gingival fibroblasts, potentially addressing phenytoin-induced gingival overgrowth.

This study found a high prevalence of parasitic infections in cattle in the Mymensingh district of Bangladesh, with mixed infections being more common and highlighting the need for improved management practices.

This review discusses adverse reactions to antihelminthic drugs and highlights that levamisole, a common street cocaine adulterant, can cause serious side effects, including skin necrosis and vasculitis.

Melatonin may help with nerve pain, a hepatitis C drug is effective but has side effects, a treatment for mouth sores works but can cause blood issues, ear reconstruction with an implant is safe, HIV transmission from mother to child in Taiwan is now 0% with treatment, certain blood problems are more common in people with a tongue condition, a gene and being overweight are linked to hair loss in some women, a new technique could reduce radiation for lung nodule patients, a hepatitis treatment may lower cancer recurrence after a procedure, and adding extra screening improves tuberculosis detection in patients with lung infections.

This article discusses hair loss linked to lithium treatment but reports no new clinical findings.

This review highlights the promising potential of microemulsions and nanoemulsions in (trans)dermal drug delivery, noting a gap in understanding their distinct mechanisms and composition-related effects on skin permeability, while emphasizing the limited clarity on mesostructures and cosolvent impacts.

This report describes a case of temporary hair loss due to telogen effluvium after rhytidectomy, suggesting dermatologic surgeons consider preventive measures to minimize trauma and tension on hair follicles during surgery.

This study reports that retinol acetate inhibited the pro-oxidant effects of benoxaprofen on polymorphonuclear leucocytes in vitro.

This study found that both superficial cryotherapy and intralesional corticosteroid injections significantly improved hair growth in patients with alopecia areata, with similar efficacy between the two treatments, establishing cryotherapy as a simple and noninvasive treatment option.

This study found that liquid nitrogen cryotherapy resulted in good responses in 33% of patients with recalcitrant alopecia areata, although nearly 30% showed no response.

This article describes how recognizing distinct trichoscopic features aids in diagnosing various dermatological conditions and hair loss, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that all lesions in mice treated with a new topical formulation, WR 279,396, healed completely without relapse, outperforming other formulations and showing no toxicity.

This study describes presumed albendazole toxicosis in alpacas, suggesting that repeated doses as low as 19 mg/kg can lead to severe neutropenia, enteropathy, and potentially death in this species.

Lichen Planus is a less common condition affecting skin and mucous membranes, with various types and associated risk factors, challenging to diagnose, significantly impacts life quality, and may have a risk of cancerous changes in oral lesions.

This review elaborates on the skin side effects of chemotherapy and emphasizes identifying and managing both common and life-threatening skin reactions, without presenting new clinical findings.

This study found that dermal papilla and peribulbar dermal sheath cup cells in mice can both induce hair follicle formation, suggesting they may have similar functional roles in hair growth.

Treatments for melanin disorders exist, but more effective options needed.

This article discusses the history and terminology of toxic epidermal necrolysis but reports no new clinical results.

This study identified diltiazem, a calcium channel blocker for hypertension, as a promising repurposed treatment for influenza, enhancing antiviral efficacy when combined with oseltamivir.

This study revealed that deficiency in the enzyme FA2H in mice affected sebaceous gland function, altered sebum composition, and caused cycling alopecia, highlighting FA2H's role in hair follicle homeostasis.

In this study, rituximab treatment for children with steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome was associated with a longer remission time and fewer side effects compared to cyclophosphamide.

In this study, Geranium sibiricum L. extract promoted hair growth in vitro with human dermal papilla cells and in vivo in mice, outperforming minoxidil by proliferating cells and stimulating growth factor expression, suggesting its potential as a hair growth treatment.

This study found that BMP6 and Wnt10b competitively regulate the transition between hair follicle growth phases, offering new insights into hair follicle cycling and potential hair loss treatments.

This review discusses medication-induced gray hair repigmentation, highlighting that certain anti-inflammatory drugs and melanogenesis stimulators can cause diffuse repigmentation, though evidence remains low-quality and these medications are not currently indicated for this purpose.

This study found that macrophage-stimulating protein (MSP) enhanced hair growth in both human hair follicles cultured in vitro and in mice through the promotion of anagen phase induction.

Minoxidil in breast milk may harm nursing infants.

This study found that high-dose radiation can induce accelerated cellular senescence, inflammation, and loss of epithelial stem cells in mouse and human skin, contributing to radiation dermatitis.
