Finasteride effectively treats enlarged prostate and male baldness, improves symptoms of hirsutism in women, but doesn't work for acne, and may delay prostate cancer progression with few side effects.

This study found that platelet-rich plasma combined with other hair restoration therapies significantly increased hair density in patients with androgenetic alopecia, though it did not statistically affect hair shaft diameter.

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 study found that a combined pattern of repigmentation was most commonly observed in vitiligo, with a new 'medium spotted' pattern proposed for areas with few hair follicles.

This study observed that balding was associated with lower total body BMD in men and higher hip BMD in women, possibly due to estrogen use in the latter group.

This article discusses platelet-rich plasma therapy for cicatricial alopecias like lichen planopilaris and reports no confirmed new clinical results; the authors highlight ongoing uncertainty about its effectiveness and potential risks.

This review discusses Aloe Vera's traditional uses and active components but reports no new clinical results, emphasizing its potential benefits from wound healing to hair growth.

In this study, researchers identified a novel homozygous variant in the FAM83G gene responsible for autosomal recessively inherited palmoplantar keratoderma with curly hair in a consanguineous Pakistani family, suggesting FAM83G plays a crucial role in skin and hair homeostasis.

This review discusses medical treatments for lower urinary tract symptoms suggestive of benign prostatic hyperplasia, focusing on their effects, side-effects, and implications for treatment goals, but reports no new clinical results.

This article discusses the importance of oral and maxillofacial surgeons understanding the pathogenesis and treatment of acne vulgaris, but it presents no new research findings.

This review examines recent findings on COVID-19 pneumonia treatment using mesenchymal stem cells and reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight MSCs' potential due to their immunomodulatory and tissue-regenerative properties.

This study found that in cashmere goats aged 2 to 7 years, younger goats (2-4 years) produced more cashmere and had a higher population of active secondary hair follicles than older goats (5-7 years), with the latter showing greater oxidative stress.

This study reported that low-dose oral minoxidil combined with a 5α-reductase inhibitor improved hair density in most men with female pattern hair loss after 6 months or more of treatment.

This study suggests that using antihistamines alongside a regimen of topical corticosteroid and superficial cryotherapy may enhance hair regrowth in patients with mild to moderate alopecia areata.

This study observed that Biota orientalis L. leaf extract may promote hair growth and suppress sebum production in human cells, suggesting potential benefits for hair restoration.

Skin surgery has significantly advanced since 1950, with improvements in chemical peels, hair restoration, lasers, and Mohs surgery, and the development of less invasive techniques and specialized training.

The document concludes that hair restoration has improved with follicular unit transplantation, making it more scientific and precise.

This review discusses various mechanical isolation procedures for tissue-like stromal vascular fraction, such as the nanofat procedure, and highlights the need for controlled trials to assess their regenerative effectiveness.

This study examined 15 female patients with hypothyroidism to investigate the characterization of their alopecia and ruled out other causes, using medical histories, and clinical, trichoscopic, and histologic findings.

This study observed that sebaceous glands were preserved in some patients with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, suggesting early gland loss may not be a key feature of the condition.

Imiquimod improved skin pigmentation in most patients with xeroderma pigmentosum and may prevent further skin cancer, but some treatments can have side effects.

This study surveyed hairline preferences and found that the M-shaped contour was most preferred overall, with lower forehead heights favored by men and those without a history of hair transplantation.

This systematic review of five studies found that intradermal and intramuscular botulinum toxin injections showed promising hair growth outcomes for men with androgenic alopecia, but emphasizes caution due to a lack of control groups and small sample sizes.

This study suggests that side effects of low-dose oral minoxidil for hair loss are infrequent and demographics did not influence this risk, but dosage relative to body weight may affect adverse event incidence.

This systematic review found that topical adenosine may increase hair thickness and density while reducing hair loss, but the strength of evidence is low due to issues with trial design and sample size.

This review found that bimatoprost effectively treats chemotherapy-induced eyelash loss, known as milphosis, in cancer patients, as demonstrated in three small trials, but further research is needed due to limitations like small sample sizes and short follow-up periods.

Perinevoid alopecia can be effectively treated with non-invasive corticosteroids.

This study found that kinematic alignment in total knee arthroplasty leads to a higher proportion of patients requiring smaller femoral components compared to traditional mechanical alignment, with statistical significance observed in femoral sizing differences between the two groups.

Some lung cancer patients treated with EGFR inhibitors may develop a hair loss condition similar to folliculitis decalvans.

Ovariectomy in mice affects hair growth and skin thickness, suggesting potential for obesity treatment research.
