This cohort study using real-world data found no significant difference in the risk of developing prostate cancer between finasteride and dutasteride among patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, despite previous suggestions that dutasteride might be more effective.

This article discusses the long-standing use and safety of opioids in anaesthesia, noting that respiratory depression is a manageable side effect due to the availability of opioid antagonists.

This study found that premature hair loss due to stress does not occur in NK-1 receptor knockout or mast cell deficient mice, suggesting a key role for neurokinin substance P and mast cell interaction in stress-related hair follicle changes.

This article reviews plant-based secondary metabolites with potential anticancer properties and highlights the need for new treatments due to the side effects of current cancer therapies, but it provides no clinical results.

This study found that telocytes in human scalp tissue were located around hair follicles and glands and may be involved in skin regeneration and homeostasis.

This review explores the potential role of caveolin-1 in cicatricial alopecia, particularly frontal fibrosing alopecia, and discusses possibilities for targeted therapies without providing new research results.

This study found that dutasteride may reduce the likelihood of hospitalization for BPH-related surgery and newly detected prostate cancer, compared to finasteride, and suggests a budgetary benefit.

The authors concluded that dutasteride is effective and generally safe for managing benign prostatic hyperplasia and may reduce prostate cancer risk.

This review identified evidence gaps in NHIRD, emphasizing the lack of validated diagnostic criteria and the need for further research on ocular and systemic comorbidities associated with AA to enhance patient care and treatment strategies.

This review discusses the potential applications and challenges of small molecules in regenerative medicine, but it reports no new research findings.

This review discusses the varied roles of Wnt7a in development, tissue homeostasis, and cancer, reporting no clinical results; the authors emphasize the need for further investigation on its roles in inflammation and fibrosis.

This review elaborates on the skin side effects of chemotherapy and emphasizes identifying and managing both common and life-threatening skin reactions, without presenting new clinical findings.

This review discusses the molecular mechanisms of masculinization involving androgen signaling and their roles in male embryonic development and conditions like hypospadias and prostate cancer, and reports no clinical results.

In this study, researchers found that deleting Caspase-9 in hair follicle stem cells delayed apoptosis, leading to accelerated wound repair and new hair follicle regeneration by maintaining apoptotic cells as signaling centers.

The document describes various skin conditions, their features, and treatments but lacks detailed study size information.

In this study, the authors observed that treatment patterns for new benign prostatic hyperplasia largely aligned with guidelines, but 5-α reductase inhibitors were used inappropriately based on prostate size as indicated by prostate specific antigen.

This case report highlights a 33-year-old male initially misdiagnosed with Neuromyelitis Optica, whose symptoms may improve with biotin treatment due to late onset biotinidase deficiency.

In this study, trichoscopy was found to be helpful in diagnosing the types of noncicatricial alopecia, and alopecia's negative impact on quality of life was highlighted through the correlation with clinical severity.

In this study, calcium imaging in transgenic mice revealed that non-neuronal TRPV4 in the skin enhances afferent signaling during electrical stimulation, suggesting a role for neuroimmune interaction in acupuncture signal initiation.

TRPV1 helps regulate hair growth cycles.

This study demonstrated that human hair follicle stem cells can be efficiently differentiated into endothelial-like cells using VEGF and bFGF, suggesting their potential as a novel cell source for vascular tissue engineering.

In this study, researchers developed a method to efficiently derive contractile smooth muscle cells from human hair follicle stem cells using TGF-β1 and PDGF-BB, which may advance vascular tissue engineering.

This study found that the herbal combination PRO 160/120 significantly improved nocturnal voiding frequency in patients with moderate-to-severe LUTS/BPH compared to placebo, with similar effectiveness to tamsulosin and finasteride.

This review suggests that telocytes in male reproductive organs help organize tissue structure and paracrine factors, impacting organ development and pathology, but more research is needed on their molecular pathways.

This study reports that prostate volume, operation time, resected tissue weight, and smoking increase risks of blood loss and fluid absorption during PK-TURP, while finasteride treatment and surgeon experience may reduce these risks.

This review highlights the potential of self-powered nanogenerators in revolutionizing biomedical devices by using biomechanical or environmental energy, focusing on applications like regenerative hair growth, drug release patches, and electronic skin while evaluating challenges such as energy efficiency and biocompatibility.

This study found that administering conditioned media from glial cell cultures to late reproductive age rats increased uterine contractile activity, potentially supporting the use of cryopreservation in preserving its biological effects.

This narrative review discusses expert consensus on the optimal use of botulinum toxin injections for cosmetic applications in facial and oral-maxillofacial areas across Asian and Caucasian populations, highlighting injection techniques, effective doses, historical context, and potential complications.

This study found that BNC2 is critical for hair follicle regeneration and other developmental processes, as Bnc2−/− mice exhibit incomplete hair follicle development and developmental defects, and BNC1 cannot substitute for BNC2.

This review highlights the potential of regenerative medicine therapies, particularly stem cells, in treating a range of chronic diseases and injuries, while also discussing advancements and limitations in their application in Malaysia compared to other Asian countries.
