This systematic review of Mendelian randomization studies reports that autoimmune thyroid disease is associated with increased risk for numerous health conditions, including coronary atherosclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis, while decreasing risks for others, such as lung cancer.

This case study reports the first clinical case of besnoitiosis in two donkeys in Italy, suggesting a wider distribution of the disease in European equids than previously expected.

This study found that while new treatments like Optilume, Rezum, and Aquablation have minimal risks of sexual dysfunction, they offer less improvement in lower urinary tract symptoms compared to traditional surgeries like TURP, though Aquablation does reduce ejaculatory dysfunction more effectively than TURP.

This response article concurs with Dr. Lipner's critique that biotin supplementation is largely unsupported for routine use in dermatological conditions, with evidence mostly limited to case reports.

In this study, researchers found that two dominant haplotypes in the EDA2R/AR intergenic region have likely been shaped by demographic changes and selection during human evolution, particularly notable in African and non-African populations.

This article reviews gender differences in planning and managing female cosmetic surgery patients and reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that L-glutamine supplementation in Hanwoo steers under heat stress did not affect growth performance or muscle and adipose tissue gene expression but was associated with increased immune cells and reduced HSP90 expression.

This study found that thermal hair straightening in Asian women was associated with various signs of scalp and hair damage, including CCCA-like hair loss.

In this study, the researchers identified a PBX1-SIRT1-PARP1 axis that plays a crucial role in reducing senescence and apoptosis in hair follicle-derived mesenchymal stem cells.

This review concludes that global literature supports the lipidosterolic extract of Serenoa repens as efficacious and safe for treating lower urinary tract symptoms, with some studies showing equivalence to common pharmacologic agents.

This study suggests that finasteride may inhibit the enzyme PNMT, potentially contributing to its sexual and psychological side effects.

In this study, researchers developed a sensitive assay to measure the inhibition of steroid 5-α reductase (5AR) by chemicals like finasteride and dutasteride, revealing species-specific differences in inhibitor efficacy between human and fish cell lines.

This meta-analysis concluded that 5α-reductase inhibitors may increase the risk of mild depression, particularly with dutasteride, in patients treated for benign prostatic hyperplasia and androgenic alopecia.

This review discusses methods for improving study design and evaluation in sexual health literature and reports no new clinical results; it highlights current methodological issues and the benefits of validated questionnaires.

This study identified 8-hydroxy germacrene B from Curcuma aeruginosa as a highly potent in-vitro 5-alpha reductase inhibitor with significant anti-androgenic activity, while exhibiting mild cytotoxicity on prostate cancer cells without affecting human dermal papilla cells at tested concentrations.

Combination therapy for 9+ months maintains symptom improvements after stopping alpha-blockers or finasteride.

This study found that Meth-A cells induced alopecia in mice, but this effect was blocked by a protein kinase inhibitor, suggesting immunological mechanisms involving lymphokine-activated killer cells.

This review discusses the role of androgens in male sexual differentiation and characteristics and reports no new clinical results; it emphasizes the androgen dependence of male pattern scalp hair loss.

This case report describes a rare patient with Sjogren's syndrome who experienced recurrent pneumothorax, resolved through surgical intervention, highlighting pneumothorax as an unusual complication of the condition.

This study found no significant difference in the prevalence of PCOS between women with and without PSD, although some clinical and blood parameters did differ.

This study observed that among Iranian patients with rheumatoid arthritis, methotrexate treatment was discontinued or reduced in nearly half of the cases due to side effects such as nausea, flu-like symptoms, hepatotoxicity, and hair loss, with hepatotoxicity linked to higher doses and longer treatment duration.

This analysis from Egyptian researchers identified common risk factors associated with chronic telogen effluvium in children, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that injecting xeno-free, three-dimensional cell masses from human adipose-derived stem cells improved blood perfusion and preserved limb function in mice without causing tumors or toxicity, suggesting potential for treating severe ischemic diseases.

This case report describes a pregnant woman diagnosed with Cushing Syndrome, likely due to an adrenal tumor, whose condition worsened during hospitalization, resulting in heart failure, sepsis, and shock.

The meeting discussed medical findings, including benefits of certain treatments for cancer and heart conditions, and highlighted issues like poor adherence to preventive measures and skill gaps among interns.

This study observed that 6.45% of IBD patients treated with anti-TNF therapy developed severe psoriasiform reactions, with notable cases of alopecia universalis suggesting a potential link to previous alopecia areata.

This study highlights the use of data mining techniques to identify malnutrition and nutritional deficiencies contributing to global health burdens, but it presents no new research findings.

This case report describes a 10-year-old girl with advanced puberty signs and resistant acne, highlighting potential early-onset puberty with associated growth patterns.

This review discusses the efficacy of the lipidosterolic extract of Serenoa repens for treating lower urinary tract symptoms and reports no new clinical results; the authors propose further examination of the existing literature and guidelines.

This article discusses the MendelVar webserver, which integrates Mendelian disease data with GWAS findings to prioritize candidate genes for complex traits and reports no new experimental results.
