This study found that hypertensive patients with severe androgenic alopecia exhibited impaired coronary microcirculation, suggesting they may face increased cardiovascular risk.

This study found that Cornus officinalis fermented with Lactobacillus rhamnosus enhanced hair regrowth in mice, outperforming a minoxidil control.

This study found that Cornu cervi pantotrichum pharmacopuncture solution significantly promoted hair growth in mice by enhancing hair follicular cell proliferation and up-regulating FGF-7 expression.

This review discusses the potential link between androgen deficiency and increased COVID-19 severity in aging men, but reports no new clinical results; it suggests that low testosterone levels may pose a risk factor.

This study reported that novel adipose slurry injections improved rhytides and dermis density in patients receiving facial wrinkle treatments based on evaluations at multiple follow-up intervals.

This phase 1 study reported that after administering supratherapeutic doses of cortexolone 17α‐propionate, a topical antiandrogen intended for hair loss treatment, there was no effect on the QTc interval, indicating no measurable cardiac safety concerns in the concentration range tested.

This study found that in patients with alopecia areata, serum granulysin levels decreased significantly after treatment with tofacitinib and correlated with reduced disease severity, suggesting serum granulysin as an indicator of immunological activity and response to therapy.

This study found that combining microfocused ultrasound with autologous blood cell factors significantly improved skin rejuvenation compared to using microfocused ultrasound alone.

This study observed that the molecular structure of keratins in hair fibres' discrete transition zone differs in breast cancer patients, with altered lipid ester absorption bands reverting post-cancer removal.

This study found that using methotrexate with corticosteroids may support hair regrowth in severe alopecia areata, but adverse effects and relapses were common, suggesting more controlled trials are needed.

This study found a positive association between bilateral diagonal earlobe crease and bilateral preauricular crease with coronary artery disease, with both creases together predicting the disease with 90% accuracy.

In this study, researchers observed that patients with Alopecia Areata had significantly lower serum zinc and higher copper levels compared to healthy controls, indicating a disrupted zinc-copper balance that may contribute to the disease's pathogenesis.

This study examined the relationships between the Dermatology Life Quality Index and trichoscopic and clinical-anamnestic characteristics in young Ukrainian men with alopecia areata, finding varying strengths of mostly non-significant correlations, especially in those with grade I and III alopecia.

This study found that certain gene polymorphisms in keratin 27 and ELOVL4 are linked to improved cashmere fineness and production traits in Liaoning cashmere goats.

This study observed that among 120 patients recovering from COVID-19, severe diffuse hair loss typically began less than two months post-infection, with the majority of patients experiencing a severe degree of hair loss and positive hair pull tests, often alongside vitamin D deficiency.

This case study reports a patient with ACTH-driven cortisol secretion 14 years after adrenalectomy, suggesting possible residual adrenal tissue or extra-adrenal steroid synthesis, challenging the need for lifelong steroid replacement.

In 1995, international medical graduates did better than U.S. graduates on a medical exam.

In this animal study, finasteride was found to significantly lower cortisol and increase testosterone levels in female rats, indicating its broader impact on endocrine regulation by altering adrenal and gonadal hormones.

This narrative review provides an overview of the persistent dermatological side effects experienced by cancer survivors due to treatments, highlighting their impact on quality of life and the need for structured dermatological care during survivorship.

This source discusses ichthyosis, a disorder causing dry, scaly skin, by exploring its genetic causes, potential systemic associations, and treatments, and correlates modern medical insights with Unani medicine principles focused on humoral balance and holistic care.

In this review, researchers examined the concentration of cortisol in scalp hair of individuals with alopecia areata to explore its relationship with disease variables, as cortisol in hair can indicate chronic stress, which may impact alopecia areata pathogenesis.

This study found that patients with alopecia areata had significantly higher serum T3 and cortisol levels compared to healthy controls, although both remained within normal ranges, highlighting potential hormonal involvement in the condition. However, no significant differences were observed in T4 and TSH levels.

This review explores the potential impact of SARS-CoV-2 on benign prostatic hyperplasia and related lower urinary tract symptoms but reports no new clinical results, emphasizing the need for further studies to quantify these changes.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome had significantly higher serum lactate dehydrogenase levels and lower levels of cortisol, dopamine, zinc, and vitamin D3 compared to healthy controls.

This study observed that transgenic mice with overexpression of HE4 developed keratitis and severe corneal opacity, suggesting that HE4 may significantly influence keratopathy and inflammatory responses in the eye.

In this study, researchers found that increased androgen levels, such as testosterone, and insulin resistance are strongly associated with more severe acne in adult women, along with a higher incidence of menstrual irregularities and PCOS characteristics.

This study, assessing PCOS patients, found a significant positive correlation between increased ovarian volume and elevated insulin resistance, suggesting that larger ovaries may indicate a higher degree of insulin resistance.

In this study, researchers in Baghdad observed that women with PCOS who tested positive for CagA-IgG, a marker for H. pylori infection, showed significantly elevated insulin resistance and fasting blood sugar levels, regardless of metformin treatment, compared to controls.

This study found that methanolic extract of Cordia plathytyrsa increased testosterone levels in male rats but did not affect other evaluated metabolic parameters.

In this study, metabolic syndrome and hypertension were significantly more prevalent in patients with plantar callosities compared to controls, suggesting potential links that warrant further investigation.
