In this retrospective, population-based cohort study, researchers found no significant difference in age-related macular degeneration incidence between BPH patients using 5α-reductase inhibitors and those on tamsulosin, but observed a slight increased risk with dutasteride compared to finasteride.

In this study, AMD was observed more frequently in AGA patients, and a higher monocyte/HDL ratio was associated with increased AMD severity, especially in men.

This study found that Wet-type Age-Related Macular Degeneration patients had higher oxidative stress and HMGB-1 levels compared to healthy controls, suggesting a link to increased tissue inflammation and necrosis.

This description of dystrophy hypotrichosis associated with juvenile macular dystrophy provides an overview of this rare disorder characterized by short hair from birth and progressive loss of central vision but reports no new findings.

This case report describes a 4-year-old girl with hypotrichosis and juvenile macular dystrophy, linked to mutations in the cadherin 3 gene affecting P-cadherin expression.

This study identified a novel CDH3 mutation associated with sparse hair and pigmentary macular changes in two siblings with hypotrichosis but no visual symptoms.

In this study, Jeffi Chao Hui Wu documented physiological transformations from his "Danben Origin" practice, including the natural reversal of conditions like androgenetic alopecia, macular degeneration, and carpal tunnel syndrome.

Pharmacists play a crucial role in customizing treatments and ensuring medication safety.

This review discusses the development and potential therapeutic effects of nitroxide small molecule agents for age-related macular degeneration and cardiovascular disease, but reports no new clinical results.

This report describes a novel mutation in the CDH3 gene in an 11-year-old Iranian boy with hypotrichosis and juvenile macular dystrophy, indicating a new genetic variant associated with the disorder.

This case report describes a novel mutation in the CDH3 gene in an 11-year-old Iranian boy with sparse scalp hair and macular dystrophy, leading to altered P-cadherin synthesis.

This study found that delivering math1 via an adenovector led to vestibular hair cell regeneration and improved balance function in ototoxin-treated adult mice.

This review discusses the potential of using triads of repositioned medicines targeting multiple pathogenic mechanisms to prevent or delay retina degeneration, but reports no new results.

Smoking doubles the risk of blindness, and physical exercise helps dyslexic children read better.

This review concluded that near-infrared and red light photobiomodulation shows potential for certain ocular conditions like age-related macular degeneration and dry eye disease, but clinical evidence is still mixed and insufficient to establish it as a standard therapy.

In this Stanford study, verteporfin was used to promote scarless skin regeneration by inhibiting YAP activity in a 27-year-old female, resulting in increased hair density at the treated site compared to the untreated control.

In this study, two male patients with androgenetic alopecia who had previously undergone hair transplants showed increased hair regrowth after receiving verteporfin injections, with a 63% mean increase in dense donor sites, 38% in thinning areas, but no growth in bald areas.

This study suggests that human hair follicles may serve as a model for molecular analysis of ABCA4 gene splice-site variants, facilitating research into the pathogenicity of ABCA4 retinopathies.

This review synthesizes knowledge on HTRA1-associated disorders, highlighting how mutations in the HTRA1 gene are linked to cerebral small vessel disease and systemic conditions, and discusses emerging diagnostic and therapeutic strategies aimed at precision medicine.

This review explores the potential roles of extracellular vesicles in various medical fields, emphasizing their promise but noting the need for standardization and clinical testing before widespread application.

This research reports that partial orthokeratology combined with daytime spectacle correction effectively slowed myopic progression in high myopes, with a 63% reduction in axial elongation compared to spectacle use alone.

This review discusses the broader roles of angiogenic factors, like VEGFs and FGFs, beyond angiogenesis, highlighting their involvement in various biological and pathological processes.

This review highlights pigment epithelium-derived factor's roles in ageing and development, focusing on its antioxidant functions and support of stem cell survival, but reports no new experimental results.

Tailored medication preparation and ongoing education are crucial for effective treatments.

This study examines the effects of excessive or prolonged exposure to blue light on retinal function and highlights its potential health implications, noting that both photoreceptor and intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) are particularly sensitive to blue wavelengths.

This review discusses the implementation and mechanisms of photobiomodulation therapy in various medical fields, including ophthalmology, and reports no new clinical results.

This article reviews the design and objectives of the Rotterdam Study, as well as summarizes major findings, without reporting new results.

Mammalian organs regenerate using stem cells and cell plasticity, but this ability declines with age.

In this study, mutations in the CDH3 gene were identified as the cause of hypotrichosis with juvenile macular dystrophy, and the researchers observed substantial phenotypic variability among affected individuals.

This study suggests that the use of 5α-reductase inhibitors in men may be associated with macular abnormalities, characterized by cystoid changes and foveal cavitation, potentially progressing to more severe defects.
