This article reviews the discovery and various physiological effects of cyproterone acetate, reporting its established indications for several androgen-driven conditions but providing no new clinical data.

This article reviews the regenerative benefits of platelet-rich plasma in various medical fields, particularly in dermatology and aesthetic medicine, without presenting new clinical data.

In this study, researchers observed that the sequence of maturity markers in normal boys showed specific time lags, with some markers appearing before and others after spermarche.

This study observed that in a large, diverse US adult population, skin of color was associated with a higher prevalence of alopecia areata, whereas lower prevalence was seen among those with lower education, income, and lacking health insurance.

This study analyzed post-marketing data from the U.S. FDA Adverse Event Reporting System and identified both known and new safety concerns for Avacopan, an anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies-associated vasculitis treatment, emphasizing the need for monitoring during early treatment stages.

This review concluded that corticosteroids improve muscle strength and function in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy over short-term periods, but evidence on prolonging walking ability remains insufficient, and side effects are common.

In this study, DHT and calculated free DHT were linked to higher risks of incident cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality in elderly men, while total testosterone and calculated free testosterone showed no such associations.

This review compiles epidemiological data on actinic keratoses and suggests promoting strategies like early diagnosis and photoprotection to prevent progression to skin cancer, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This review analyzed data on alopecia types associated with COVID-19, suggesting androgenetic alopecia may be a risk factor for severe COVID-19, while telogen effluvium often follows infection and alopecia areata tends to relapse in those with preexisting disease.

This study suggests that any baldness, particularly moderate balding, is associated with a higher risk of fatal prostate cancer in men, supporting a possible link between hair loss and prostate cancer mechanisms.

This study found that men with a cutaneous melanoma diagnosis had an increased risk of subsequently being diagnosed with prostate cancer compared to those without melanoma.

This review synthesizes data suggesting that managing inflammation and oxidative stress may enhance the effectiveness of PRP therapy for hair regeneration, though standardizing PRP protocols remains challenging.

This study investigated paternal drug exposure using FDA data and identified significant associations with reproductive health risks, including congenital anomalies linked to immunosuppressive drugs, and emphasized specific risk combinations like biologics and abortion, diazepam and small for date baby, and finasteride and cryptorchidism.

This study using Mendelian randomization in UK Biobank data suggests that lifelong increased free testosterone may have mixed effects, including increased bone density and prostate cancer risk, warranting well-powered trials to address uncertainties.

This research investigated immune cell involvement in various types of inflammatory alopecia by analyzing gene expression data from scalp samples, revealing distinct cellular changes in conditions like Alopecia Areata, Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, Lichen Planopilaris, and Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia, which may inform future therapeutic targets.

This study observed that patients with alopecia areata often have comorbidities and experience significant healthcare costs, with treatments like systemic therapies being infrequently used.

The researchers concluded that after the 2013 EMA recommendation, there was an overall reduction in CPA/EE prescriptions, but no substantial change in patient diagnoses or potential concurrent hormonal contraceptive use.

This study found that Taiwanese women with alopecia may have a significantly higher risk of developing thyroid cancer compared to those without alopecia.

This study suggests that hormonal changes may contribute to the persistent symptoms of long COVID, with specific patterns observed in serum hormone levels related to fatigue and sensory dysfunction.

This study found that sex hormone-binding globulin promotes facial aging, while sex steroid hormones such as testosterone and estradiol inhibit it, with growth hormone levels showing no significant effect.

This paper reviews the development of treatments for androgenic alopecia by analyzing historical data and published methods, focusing on the evolution of techniques to address this common hair loss condition.

Alopecia areata is linked to immune system differences, with specific biomarkers like CXCL9 and CXCL10 being key for diagnosis and potential treatment targets.

In this study, researchers analyzed social media data to assess the comparative safety of arthritis medications, finding increased odds of herpes zoster and perforated bowel with certain therapies. Social media posts expressed more safety concerns than favorable opinions about drug safety.

This study found that partial follicular units extracted from the donor area can survive and regenerate new hairs at their original site and when transplanted, effectively creating two hair follicles from one.

This study detected insomnia risk signals associated with various medications, primarily nervous system drugs, using the FDA's Adverse Event Reporting System data from 2004 to 2024.

In this study, researchers found that transverse sections of alopecia areata lesions showed significantly more terminal hair follicles with perifollicular lymphocytic infiltrate compared to longitudinal sections, and this immune infiltration positively correlated with the positive hair pull test in patients.

This study offers evidence suggesting a probable causal role of certain gut microbiota in the development of alopecia areata.

Finasteride lowers PSA levels in men, certain factors increase testicular cancer risk, and current guidelines for penile cancer may lead to unnecessary surgeries.

This study found that bupropion was associated with a higher risk of hair loss compared to other antidepressants, with paroxetine presenting the lowest risk.

In this study, a Monte Carlo-generated synthetic cohort analysis found that higher simulated cannabis exposure was linked to increased self-assessed hair loss severity and reduced follicular density, suggesting potential connections worth exploring in further clinical research.
