This study reports that clinical trials of finasteride for androgenic alopecia provide insufficient and systematically biased safety data, with most participants unrepresentative of those in pivotal trials that led to FDA approval.

This meta-analysis reports that vertex baldness is associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease, particularly in younger men, while no significant link was found for frontal baldness.

This meta-analysis found that chromium supplementation was associated with decreased insulin resistance but increased testosterone levels in women with PCOS, with no significant benefits for other metabolic or hormonal indexes.

This study found that 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor monotherapy for symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia showed some clinical benefit over placebo but was linked to a higher incidence of sexual side effects.

This article compares the immunology of cancer and the placenta and suggests that immunotherapy for pregnant cancer patients could be feasible with careful exploration, though no new clinical results are reported.

This study found that young men with early-onset androgenetic alopecia have a worse glycolipid profile and hormone pattern similar to women's PCOS, suggesting a possible male PCOS-equivalent syndrome.

This study found that an 8-week practice of pranic meditation was associated with improved quality of life and mental health scores in breast cancer survivors, though further research is needed for confirmation.

This review discusses the evidence for using oral medications to treat central serous chorioretinopathy, highlighting eplerenone as having the most support despite a lack of robust efficacy across studies.

This case report identified two new SLC39A4 mutations in twin patients with acrodermatitis enteropathica, suggesting that different mutations in this gene may lead to varying clinical manifestations of the disorder.

This study described the range and treatment of skin disorders among pediatric inpatients at a teaching hospital, finding allergic skin diseases as the most common group, primarily diagnosed clinically.

This meta-analysis reported that individuals who frequently use hair dye or have used it for over 20 years have an increased risk of developing non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

This study found increasing public interest in hair loss treatments on YouTube, but reported that videos with high viewer engagement are often biased towards promoting dermatology and hair restoration clinics.

This review discusses the safety of dermatological medications used during pregnancy, highlighting that retinoids have strong teratogenic risks and should be used with caution; it reports no new clinical results.

This study analyzed pexidartinib-associated adverse events from FDA data and reported common events such as hepatic issues and systemic reactions. It highlighted sex-specific susceptibilities and reinforced the need for risk mitigation and long-term monitoring in tenosynovial giant cell tumor management.

This meta-analysis reviewed observational studies and found that androgenic alopecia, particularly in younger men, may be associated with an increased risk of heart disease.

This study observed that bacterial communities on scalp hair collected through non-invasive swabbing showed similar diversity and composition to those obtained by cutting or removing hair, suggesting that swabbing is an effective method for microbiome analysis on hair.

In this study, researchers found that 24.7% of female medical students were diagnosed with PCOS, significantly affecting their academic success and social interactions due to symptoms like BMI abnormalities and acne, suggesting that educators should enhance support and awareness to address these challenges.

This research reports the presence of various physicochemical constituents and nutrients in glycine max (soybean) milk and okara, highlighting its potential medicinal and nutritional benefits.

This study reviews the performance and safety of synthetic medications like minoxidil and finasteride compared to herbal remedies such as saw palmetto for treating alopecia, highlighting the need for more research to better understand their therapeutic roles and optimize patient care.

This study reported that Sintilimab combined with chemotherapy may improve outcomes in advanced NSCLC patients but carries a higher risk of certain side effects, including hypothyroidism.

This study reports that ritlecitinib, when used for up to 24 months in patients aged 12 and older with alopecia areata, has an acceptable safety profile, with a similar proportion of adverse events in both ritlecitinib and placebo groups in the placebo-controlled cohort.

This meta-analysis reviewed 25 studies and suggested that herbal interventions could improve reproductive health in women with PCOS, showing benefits across measures such as Body Mass Index, hirsutism, and insulin levels, although results were mixed for fasting glucose and FSH levels.

This study observed that testosterone concentrations in hair segments show some stability over time, but are influenced by factors like sebum integration, hair washing frequency, and individual hair growth rates.

This study found that hair testosterone concentrations show some consistency over time, but factors like hair washing and individual growth rates influence these levels, suggesting the need for careful sampling and analysis adjustments.

This study found that metformin, insulin, and ACE inhibitors were associated with lower PSA levels, but statins did not decrease PSA, whereas low dose finasteride (1 mg) reduced PSA levels similarly to the higher 5 mg dose.

This study found that cardiac fibroblasts significantly enhance the maturation of neonatal mouse and human embryonic stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes, suggesting a pivotal role in postnatal heart development and disease.
