This study found that patients with alopecia areata had an increased risk of mortality from self-harm, psychiatric diseases, and lung cancer compared to the general population.

This study reported that patients with alopecia areata or alopecia totalis/universalis have a slightly increased overall cancer risk compared to controls, with specific increases in thyroid, bladder, and prostate cancers depending on the alopecia type.

This study found that, among COVID-19 patients in South Korea, hypertension, diabetes, and other comorbidities significantly increased mortality risk, with the age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index being a strong predictor of death.

This review examines complementary and alternative medicine for alopecia and finds limited support from robust clinical trials, highlighting the need for standardized studies to evaluate efficacy and safety.

This study found that GLI2 plays a key role in activating follistatin, an activin/BMP antagonist, in response to hedgehog signaling in human epidermal cells, with implications for hair follicle development and basal cell carcinoma.

This review covers the ongoing debate on measuring underinsurance in health coverage and reports no new empirical results, recommending a national effort to standardize underinsurance metrics.

This study highlights the urgent need for health policies in Korea that focus on diseases with rising burdens and groups experiencing high health burdens, as a step toward improving population health and achieving health equity.

This study found that compared to influenza patients, COVID-19 patients had fewer complications overall, but exceptions with higher risks were seen in hair loss, heart failure, mood disorder, and dementia.

This study found that while GPT-4 shows high accuracy and efficiency in clinical decision making, physicians' critical thinking and lifelong learning skills remain essential, particularly in addressing and interpreting AI errors in medical settings.

This study suggests that the use of 5α-reductase inhibitors in men may be associated with macular abnormalities, characterized by cystoid changes and foveal cavitation, potentially progressing to more severe defects.

This review examines the antitumor effects of metformin and highlights discrepancies between basic and clinical study results, noting that these may be due to different dosing levels.

The literature review concluded that while 5α-reductase inhibitors hold promise for managing prostate cancer, they raise significant safety concerns regarding their association with high-grade tumors and mortality, highlighting the need for careful consideration in their clinical use.

This study found that long-term use of 5α-reductase inhibitors is associated with improved overall survival in men with renal cell carcinoma, particularly those with low comorbidity not receiving surgery or systemic therapy, suggesting a potential role for androgen modulation in disease management.

This case report describes a 24-month-old girl from Nigeria with idiopathic precocious puberty, emphasizing the financial barriers to necessary treatment in developing countries.

This study found that an age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index of four or more strongly predicts mortality in South Korean COVID-19 patients, highlighting the impact of comorbidity burden and older age on disease severity.

This study found that Biofield Energy Healing Treatment significantly increased the proliferation of human hair follicle dermal papilla cells in vitro, suggesting potential as a hair growth enhancer.
