This study found that a modified Ferriman-Gallwey score of 11 may be appropriate for diagnosing hirsutism in Turkish women, but should be adjusted based on individual factors like age, skin type, and family history.

This study found that self-assessed mFG and Hirsuta scores have low specificity for diagnosing hirsutism in clinical settings, though they may still be useful for screening in epidemiological studies.

This review highlights the potential of TCM medicinal foods for managing post-COVID disorders and suggests they could provide a safe and efficient long-term therapy due to their milder nature.

This study observed that 2.5% of patients with mycosis fungoides or Szary syndrome experienced alopecia, predominantly within skin lesions, with scalp metastases from other cancers also potentially causing hair loss, highlighting the diagnostic value of trichoscopy in differentiating alopecia types.

This case report highlights an unusual presentation of mycosis fungoides with photo-exacerbated lesions and a rare CD4+/CD8+ immunohistochemical phenotype, complicating diagnosis and treatment.

This study found that MF patients with darker skin types show slower initial improvement with NB-UVB phototherapy, highlighting disparities in treatment efficacy that warrant further investigation.

This study found that Mf-rich-fiber in human hair underwent significantly greater degradation by proteases than Ma-rich-fiber, especially when treated with Proteinase K.

This study found that in women with PCOS, insulin resistance is closely associated with hyperandrogenism, indicating it may independently predict increased androgen levels.

This study highlights the global prevalence of hirsutism in women and reviews its diagnostic criteria, potential underlying causes like polycystic ovary syndrome, and treatment options, emphasizing the need for tailored, multifaceted management and acknowledging the distress it causes patients.

In this study, researchers developed a microfluidics-based method to generate hair follicle germs on a large scale for potential hair regeneration therapies, demonstrating efficient hair follicle regeneration following transplantation into mice.

In this study, hirsutism negatively affected quality of life in Turkish patients, as measured by the Dermatology Life Quality Index, although no significant relationship was observed between the severity of hirsutism and quality of life scores.

Different treatments for skin conditions were found to be effective and generally safe, with biologics recommended as the first choice for generalized pustular psoriasis.

In this randomized controlled clinical study, researchers found that Neem and Zanjabeel treatment was as effective as standard hormonal therapy in reducing hirsutism and improving biochemical and hormonal parameters in women with polycystic ovarian disease, while also significantly lowering fasting insulin and lipid levels.

This study reports that a multifunctional artificial skin using photothermal-triggered drug delivery improved full-thickness wound healing and skin appendage regeneration by coordinating the release of several therapeutic agents.

This study highlights the role of immune dysregulation, microRNA modulation, and SIRT1 pathways in alopecia areata, suggesting antisense oligonucleotides targeting miR-485-3p as a promising therapeutic strategy for promoting hair regrowth and reducing inflammation in murine models.

This study found that stress hormones, particularly CRF, can inhibit hair growth and induce hair loss by affecting human dermal papilla cells and hair follicles, suggesting a functional HPA axis in these cells.

In this study, an injectable hydrogel incorporating antibacterial agents was shown to effectively heal wounds and promote hair follicle and capillary regeneration, offering a promising approach for skin tissue engineering.

This study observed mycobacterial infection with M. xenopi in a pet ferret, noting its resistance to doxycycline, and highlighted the potential zoonotic transmission risk associated with such infections.

In this study, among Iraqi women with hirsutism, researchers found no significant differences in hormonal markers compared to healthy controls, but identified a strong association between the modified Ferriman-Gallwey (mFG) score and hirsutism, highlighting the mFG score's utility in diagnosing the condition.

This study observed that patients with isolated neutropenia exhibit significant differences in certain lymphocyte and monocyte subtypes compared to healthy controls, including higher neutrophil/lymphocyte MFI ratios and lower percentages of natural killer cells.

This study found that for metastatic colorectal cancer patients, substituting calcium folinate with disodium folinate in combination with fluorouracil and oxaliplatin showed similar effectiveness and safety as the mFOLFOX6 regimen.

This study found that azelaic acid entrapped in transethosomes exhibited enhanced antidermatophyte activity and improved treatment outcomes in guinea pig models of dermatophytosis compared to free azelaic acid.

In this study, extracts from Chenopodium quinoa, Glycine max, and Malpighia emarginata demonstrated stability, low toxicity, and effective cleaning potential as surfactants in shampoo formulations, showing performance similar to or better than commercial shampoos in terms of surface and interfacial tension and sebum removal.

This review discusses the evolution and development of smart and multifunctional microneedles, highlighting their potential future importance in medical applications, but it reports no new experimental results.

This study observed that using serial sectioning and d-PAS staining improved detection of Malassezia folliculitis, notably in lesions on the trunks of male patients.

This study found that Malassezia folliculitis, common among young adult males, can be distinguished from truncal acne by its clinical features and responds well to antifungal treatment.

This case study describes a patient with rapidly progressing follicular mycosis fungoides, highlighting its unusual histology and challenges in diagnosing it against cutaneous B-cell lymphoma.

This case report describes the first use of laser capture microdissection to confirm that atypical lymphocytes in a folliculotropic mycosis fungoides case involving the central nervous system were part of the same tumor clone.

This meta-analysis found that the combination of topical minoxidil-finasteride was more effective than minoxidil alone in improving hair density, hair diameter, and global photographic assessment for male androgenetic alopecia, though larger standardized trials are needed to confirm long-term outcomes.

This study found that P311 triggers transdifferentiation of epidermal stem cells into myofibroblast-like cells via TGFβ1/Smad signaling during wound healing.
