This study reported that anti-androgens combined with lifestyle modifications were more effective than metformin and lifestyle in reducing hirsutism and certain hormonal measures in women with PCOS, but they were not more effective than a placebo combined with lifestyle changes.

This source reports that a network meta-analysis found oral baricitinib and ruxolitinib to be effective and safe for treating alopecia areata, significantly improving response rates over placebos and showing fewer adverse effects than steroid treatments, though precise dosing needs further study.

This review highlights platelet-rich plasma as a promising nonsurgical treatment for female pattern hair loss, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that patients with alopecia areata had significantly lower serum vitamin D levels and higher odds of vitamin D deficiency, but no significant difference in serum calcium levels, compared to controls.

Vitamin D and zinc may help treat alopecia areata.

In this review and meta-analysis, the authors concluded that 5α-reductase inhibitor therapy is not consistently associated with significant increases in serum testosterone levels in men.

This Cochrane review found no clear superiority among treatments for central serous chorioretinopathy, with low-dose photodynamic therapy, supplements, and eplerenone showing slightly higher probabilities of improving visual acuity, but evidence remains uncertain due to biases and small study sizes.

This study found an association between atopic dermatitis and autoimmune diseases in both adults and children, with women more likely to experience these complications, but further research is needed due to limited participant numbers.

This study found that a ketogenic diet was linked to lower weight loss outcomes in obese or overweight women with PCOS.

This study found that topical metformin was as effective as triple combination cream in reducing melasma severity, with minimal adverse events.

This study found that JAK inhibitors effectively improve alopecia areata outcomes, as indicated by SALT scores, but they were associated with an increased risk of adverse effects, with 921 out of 1508 patients experiencing adverse reactions.

This systematic review and meta-analysis reports that patients with alopecia areata have significantly higher serum levels of IL6 and CRP, and lower levels of vitamin D, compared to healthy controls.

This study found that people with alopecia areata have a higher likelihood of experiencing anxiety and depression, and a moderate negative impact on their quality of life compared to healthy individuals.

This review found that patients taking antiandrogens, 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors, and spironolactone have an increased risk of developing gynecomastia, potentially due to hormonal changes.
