This paper reviews the growing use of psychotropic drugs in dermatology due to the link between mental states and skin conditions but does not present new clinical findings.

This article reviews the causes and treatments of hypertrichosis and hirsutism and reports no new clinical findings; the authors compare diagnostic strategies and discuss available treatment options.

This study found that finasteride and its combination with terazosin significantly reduced PSA levels in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, whereas terazosin alone showed no clinically significant effect.

This study concluded that serum Adiol-G levels generally parallel testosterone levels and, therefore, do not effectively serve as a marker of peripheral androgen excess in women with androgenic symptoms.

This article discusses the factors influencing anticancer therapeutic regimens and reviews mechanisms of action and side effects of major chemotherapeutic agents without reporting new research findings.

This study found that JAK inhibitors used to treat alopecia areata have varied safety profiles, with different adverse events associated with each drug; tofacitinib and ruxolitinib had earlier onset of events, while baricitinib and ritlecitinib showed distinct delayed patterns.

In this review, the authors explore the complex interplay between COVID-19 and autoimmune skin diseases, finding that SARS-CoV-2 may trigger or worsen these conditions, with increased risks following infection and vaccination, particularly with mRNA vaccines.

In this case report, the authors described a 46-year-old woman with severe atopic dermatitis and alopecia areata, who experienced significant improvements in both conditions after treatment with the interleukin-13 blocker tralokinumab, suggesting a potential therapeutic role for targeting type 2 cytokine IL-13 in such cases.
