This retrospective cohort study found no significant association between Janus kinase inhibitors and increased malignancy risk in alopecia areata patients, but traditional immunosuppressants were linked to higher risks of internal and hematologic malignancies.

This review discusses the criteria for evaluating treatments for androgenetic alopecia and emphasizes the importance of shared decision-making, noting no treatment currently meets all desired criteria of efficacy, safety, affordability, and ease of use.

This paper discusses the introduction and advantages of an Insurance-Based Billing Model for scalp cooling devices in the USA, which can enhance access to this treatment for reducing chemotherapy-induced alopecia, particularly benefiting underserved and disadvantaged populations.

This paper discusses photobiomodulation therapy for androgenetic alopecia, focusing on the potential differences in efficacy between laser diodes and LEDs, and reports no new clinical results.

This study reports that clinical trials of finasteride for androgenic alopecia provide insufficient and systematically biased safety data, with most participants unrepresentative of those in pivotal trials that led to FDA approval.

This study found that 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor monotherapy for symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia showed some clinical benefit over placebo but was linked to a higher incidence of sexual side effects.

Platelet-rich plasma therapy helps improve atrophic acne scars.

This meta-analysis found that treating male androgenetic alopecia with 5α-reductase inhibitors increases the risk of sexual dysfunction, with a statistically significant risk for finasteride but not for dutasteride.

This meta-analysis found that autologous cell-based therapies, especially stromal vascular fraction, significantly improved atrophic acne scars over control treatments, enhancing both clinical and patient-reported outcomes.

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 meta-analysis reported no significant differences in vocal alterations and quality of life between women with PCOS and control groups, yet emphasized that the findings are limited by a lack of high-quality studies, suggesting further research is needed.

This study identified aging-related epigenetic and transcriptomic biomarkers and suggested that curcumin might target and inhibit the JUN gene, implicating potential therapeutic strategies against aging.

This study concluded that 5α-reductase inhibitors were linked to increased sexual dysfunction in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia, but not in men with androgenetic alopecia.

This study identified three novel genetic loci associated with PCOS and found similar genetic architecture across different diagnostic criteria, with evidence suggesting genetic links between PCOS and various metabolic and psychological traits.

This genome-wide association study identified 20 genetic signals at 15 risk loci related to severe acne, revealing new insights into its genetic predisposition, particularly affecting skin structure and maintenance.

This study conducted a meta-analysis of gene expression data from alopecia areata patients, identifying 5109 differentially expressed genes and highlighting enriched pathways like JAK-STAT signaling, providing insights into the disease's pathogenesis and potential treatment targets.

This study found that 5α-reductase inhibitors significantly increase the risk of erectile dysfunction and hypoactive sexual desire in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia, compared to placebo.

This study found that stem cell therapy significantly improved burn healing rates in animal models, with hair follicle stem cells showing particularly strong effects.

Finasteride and minoxidil together safely and effectively increase hair growth and density for androgenetic alopecia.

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 study suggests that platelet-rich plasma may improve pain and function in patients with partial-thickness rotator cuff tears and tendinopathy short-term, but the long-term benefits are unclear.

In a systematic review and meta-analysis, the researchers found that intralesional triamcinolone acetonide was more effective than cryotherapy for achieving significant hair regrowth in patients with patchy alopecia areata, although both treatments had distinct safety profiles.

This study found that acupuncture may reduce anxiety and depression in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, potentially through hormonal and neuroendocrine modulation, but further high-quality research is needed to confirm these findings.

In this study, researchers examined a document submitted by Jakeline Ortega related to Joandele Cristina da Silva Barcelos, but results or specific findings are not reported in the abstract.

In this study, researchers estimated that 80% of patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 experienced at least one long-term symptom, with fatigue being the most common.

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.

This systematic review and meta-analysis found 30 genetic loci associated with skin ageing phenotypes, noting shared biological pathways in aspects like pigmentation and wrinkling; researchers suggest further studies targeting the same SNP across populations could clarify these associations.

This study found that oligo-amenorrhea/menstrual irregularity in women is associated with an increased risk of overall cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease, and myocardial infarction, while evidence linking hyperandrogenism or polycystic ovaries to cardiovascular disease remains mixed or unexplored.

This study observed that patients with alopecia areata had significantly lower serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels than healthy controls, with a trend toward even lower levels in more severe cases.

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.
