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.

This study suggests that young women with low prolactin levels may face higher cardiometabolic risk, and reducing cabergoline dosage reversed related metabolic disturbances.

This review found that oral methotrexate plus oral prednisone may improve disease activity or damage in juvenile active morphea compared to placebo plus prednisone, but adverse events may slightly increase.

This study found that while zebularine did not significantly accelerate wound healing, it improved the quality of restored skin in mice, suggesting potential for further research into epigenetic inhibitors.

In this study, the pharmacological action of dobutamine on rabbit retinae was found to be distinct from that of other dopamine analogs like apomorphine and N-methyl-dopamine.

This study found that the Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Company model offers substantial cost savings on men's health medications compared to Medicare and GoodRx, particularly for long-term treatments.

In this study conducted on mouse fetuses, valproic acid was found to reduce Sonic Hedgehog expression in the skin and hair follicles, but the inclusion of vitamin E helped mitigate this effect, supporting its potential role in managing valproic acid-induced changes.

In this study, the researchers found that measuring tacrolimus levels in scalp hair could be a reliable method for monitoring drug exposure in kidney transplant recipients, offering an alternative to frequent blood tests by utilizing self-collected hair samples.

This review summarizes evidence suggesting that the ratio of Myo-Inositol to D-Chiro-Inositol in follicular fluid is crucial for oocyte and embryo quality.

North American ginseng extract helped regrow hair in balding mice.

In this study, estradiol was found to increase VEGF expression in cultured dermal papilla cells at physiological levels similar to pregnancy, suggesting that declining estrogen might contribute to female pattern hair loss in older Japanese women.

This study found that D-004, a lipid extract from royal palm fruit, has a moderate antidepressant effect in mice, which may help treat depressive symptoms in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia.

This research letter observed that patients with severe atopic dermatitis showed normal serum cortisol levels after hospitalization despite continued use of potent topical corticosteroids, though poor adherence may lead to overestimations of actual medication use.

Finasteride toxicity information is limited, poor quality, and biased.

In this study, Ganoderma lucidum extract was found to significantly inhibit 5alpha-reductase activity and testosterone-induced prostate growth in rats, suggesting potential use for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia.

This review covers cross-sex hormone therapy for gender dysphoria, noting improvements in psychological symptoms and quality of life but lacking definitive long-term safety data.

This study reported that the combination of a 308-nm excimer lamp and 10% liquor carbonis detergens significantly improved scalp psoriasis symptoms compared to the excimer lamp alone, with more patients achieving 75% reduction in their Psoriasis Scalp Severity Index.

In this study, nifedipine provided rapid symptomatic relief in most patients with severe recalcitrant perniosis, but some experienced side effects that limited dosage and two patients were lost to follow-up.

This review summarizes existing studies on 5-alpha reductase inhibitors, noting their effectiveness in reducing prostate volume and cancer risk but highlighting an increased risk of higher grade prostate cancer.

In this study, researchers developed a composite paste system using minoxidil-loaded nanoparticles and valproic acid, enhanced by roller-microneedles, which significantly stimulated hair regeneration and perifollicular vascularization in an androgenetic alopecia mouse model, reducing side effects compared to traditional treatments.

This study reported that ritlecitinib 50 mg and baricitinib 4 mg showed similar efficacy in treating severe alopecia areata, with no significant difference in hair regrowth outcomes at Week 24, but there remains considerable uncertainty and a need for further research.

This study reports that a new minoxidil and epigallocatechin gallate co-loaded ionic liquids system showed superior efficacy in promoting hair regrowth in a mouse model of androgenic alopecia by activating hair follicle stem cells and improving microenvironment conditions, compared to existing minoxidil products.

This review examines new formulations for delivering 5-α-reductase inhibitors to improve targeted drug delivery in androgenetic alopecia, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that cationic lipid-based formulations enhanced the delivery of large molecules into hair follicles in human scalp skin, with potential to reach pharmacologically active concentrations in the hair bulb.
