Fractionated laser therapy, especially erbium-glass laser, effectively increases hair thickness in people with hair loss but doesn't increase the number of hairs.

This study found that methotrexate, when administered according to current recommendations, effectively manages rheumatoid arthritis for many patients in Poland, although regular monitoring is necessary due to possible adverse effects.

This retrospective study found that cyproterone acetate, both alone and with estrogens, was safe, well tolerated, and induced modest feminizing effects in late-pubertal transgender female adolescents.

This study reported that treatment with cyproterone acetate alone and then with incremental estrogen doses induced mild feminizing effects in late-pubertal trans-girls, with further feminization observed after adding estrogen.

Combination therapy with Finasteride is more effective than alpha-blocker alone for BPH symptoms in small prostate volume.

This study found that placebo groups in split-scalp PRP trials for androgenetic alopecia showed less hair loss compared to whole-head trial placebo groups, likely due to PRP diffusion in split-scalp designs.

This review concludes that platelet-rich plasma treatments significantly improve various facial skin parameters, particularly when combined with hyaluronic acid, and stresses the need for standardized preparation protocols.

This review discusses the mechanisms of skin barrier impairment in acne vulgaris and suggests strategies for its repair but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that certain polymorphisms in EGF and EGFR genes may increase susceptibility to alopecia areata in the Korean population, and these genetic variations could be associated with specific symptoms such as nail involvement and body hair loss.

This review discusses hirsutism management guidelines, recommending androgen testing only for women with abnormal hirsutism scores and advocating for combined therapy approaches depending on severity and underlying conditions, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study suggests that antiandrogens may slightly reduce hirsutism severity compared to placebo, but evidence is weak and their relative efficacy remains uncertain.

This article outlines the clinical features, evaluation, and treatment strategies for androgen excess in polycystic ovary syndrome, highlighting important diagnostic and management approaches but reporting no new research results.

This study found that treatment with oral tofacitinib, alone or with other therapies, was associated with clinical improvement in most patients with recalcitrant lichen planopilaris.

This study found that combining low-dose spironolactone with metformin provided greater clinical benefits and improved treatment compliance in women with PCOS compared to either drug alone.

This review discusses medical treatments for hirsutism, focusing on oral contraceptives and other therapies, but reports no new results; the authors emphasize the lack of evidence for insulin sensitizers in treating hirsutism alone.

This study found that over 26% of patients using Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F experienced adverse events, highlighting the need for better strategies to manage these risks.

This review discusses recent advancements in understanding the use of 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors for benign prostatic hyperplasia, indicating that dual isoenzyme inhibitors like dutasteride may enhance treatment outcomes, but no new clinical results are presented.

This study found that dutasteride effectively improved urinary symptoms, reduced acute urinary retention risk, and decreased prostate volume in men with moderate to severe BPH over two years.

This article reviews current treatment options for acne, hirsutism, and androgenetic alopecia in women with PCOS, recommending individualized and multidisciplinary approaches, but reports no new clinical results.

This review examines the pharmacological properties and potential clinical benefits of 5α‐reductase inhibition in prostate cancer but reports no new research findings.

This study provides evidence-based recommendations for the off-label use of topical vitamin D in treating certain skin conditions, but highlights the need for higher quality studies for further validation.

This article discusses the role of interleukin-15 and Janus kinase inhibitors in alopecia areata based on a murine model and reports no new experimental results.
