This study found that combination therapy with 5% minoxidil and 0.5% anthralin led to hair regrowth in some patients with severe treatment-resistant alopecia areata, but also caused mild to moderate irritant dermatitis in all participants.

This study found that dermatologists in the southeastern U.S. often offer less frequent treatment for children with alopecia areata compared to adults, with more treatment also recommended for more advanced stages of hair loss.

This study found that women with PCOS in Taiwan have a higher luteinizing hormone to follicle-stimulating hormone ratio and lower insulin resistance compared to Western women with PCOS, potentially due to lower average body mass index.

The conclusion is that a more comprehensive and precise approach is needed for diagnosing PCOS to address its broader health risks.

This article reviews the process for diagnosing polycystic ovary syndrome and suggests how it can be applied in clinical practice but reports no new results.

This study reported a 3.86% prevalence of PCOS among tenth-grade schoolgirls in Guangzhou, with higher rates observed in obese girls compared to their lean counterparts.

Among reproductive-aged women in Iran, this study found that the prevalence of PCOS varied significantly depending on the diagnostic criteria used, with estimates ranging from 7.1% to 14.6%.

This article discusses the complexities of diagnosing PCOS and highlights the importance of early recognition and treatment to improve patient outcomes, despite often being overlooked.

This article reviews the metabolic and endocrine complexities of PCOS, emphasizing the importance of lifestyle changes and medical management in addressing its various symptoms and complications, but reports no new clinical results.

Graft-versus-host disease is a complication where donor immune cells attack the recipient's body, often affecting the skin, liver, and gastrointestinal tract.

In this study, vitiligo and alopecia areata were more common among patients with chronic graft-vs-host disease than previously reported, linked to higher NIH skin scores and greater immunosuppressive treatment.

In this study, hirsutism in women with PCOS was strongly associated with hyperandrogenism and metabolic abnormalities, while acne and androgenic alopecia were not effective markers for hyperandrogenism.

This study found that women with early-onset androgenetic alopecia had higher aldosterone levels and blood pressure, suggesting a possible link to the increased prevalence of hypertension in this group.

This report describes a unique case of hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets (HVDRR) in a dog, caused by a VDR gene mutation resulting in severe hypocalcemia and bone issues, which presented with symptoms similar to those observed in humans.

In this study, researchers found that high-dose tryptophan ingestion before symptom onset may be linked to clinical features resembling eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome in patients with eosinophilic fasciitis.

This study found that a thyroid hormone receptor ẞ subtype-selective thyromimetic was effective in promoting hair growth in mouse and monkey models when applied topically.

Epidermolysis bullosa in calves was not caused by mutations in the keratin genes bKRT5 and bKRT14.

This case report identified ovarian hyperthecosis as the cause of recent-onset androgenic symptoms in a 73-year-old woman, which was confirmed by ovary removal and led to symptom improvement.

This review highlights various treatment options for androgenetic alopecia, with a special focus on hair transplantation methods, discussing their benefits, drawbacks, and limitations as drawn from literature published from 1990 to the present.

This study observed that without any treatment, hair counts did not increase, suggesting that counting methods are unlikely to explain the 'placebo-effect' seen in previous minoxidil studies.
