This review covers the variability in methods for preparing platelet-rich plasma and reports no new clinical results, suggesting that this variability may contribute to inconsistent efficacy in clinical trials.

The researchers reported that alopecia is common in Japanese macaques, particularly adult females, and varies seasonally and between different populations, with a new scoring system proposed for monitoring.

In this study, children with classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia were found to have increased epicardial fat thickness, which was associated with subclinical atherosclerosis markers and left ventricular dysfunction, especially in poorly controlled cases.

In this study, the safety of finasteride in rats varied depending on dosing time, while its effectiveness on prostate weight reduction remained consistent.

This case study from Boston University details a 35-year-old woman diagnosed with congenital adrenal hyperplasia, treated with dexamethasone, leading to normalized androgen levels and successful conception.

This study evaluated a new anti-baldness product, IPSTiC patch hair, designed to treat androgenetic alopecia, and reported that it effectively inhibits NO radical and 5α-reductase activity while maintaining safety and stability, suggesting its potential for topical use.

This review discusses the relationship between alopecia and psychological disorders and reports no new results.

This study found that age is the most significant risk factor for hemorrhagic cystitis after hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation, with additional risk factors including cyclophosphamide-based prophylaxis and, among male recipients, prostatic hyperplasia.

PRP treatment satisfies 58% of female hair loss patients, with most noticing fuller, thicker hair and less shedding.

This review of 32 articles suggests a stronger association between alopecia areata and allergic rhinitis than asthma in both adults and children, indicating a potential Th2-mediated component.

This study observed elevated serum homocysteine levels in patients with psoriasis and cutaneous-oral lichen planus compared to healthy controls, but found no significant difference between the two patient groups.

In this study, researchers used Mendelian randomization to find a significant genetic association between rheumatoid arthritis and an increased risk of alopecia areata, suggesting RA patients should be vigilant for potential AA development.

This study found that topical bimatoprost significantly improved eyelash growth in individuals with idiopathic and chemotherapy-induced eyelash hypotrichosis compared to a vehicle treatment.

In two phase 3 clinical trials, this study found that adults with severe alopecia areata receiving baricitinib experienced significant hair regrowth on the scalp, eyebrows, and eyelashes over 36 weeks compared to placebo, although longer-term data are needed to fully assess benefits and risks.

This study analyzed data from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System and found that enfortumab vedotin, used for urothelial carcinoma, is linked to various cutaneous adverse events, including severe reactions like Stevens–Johnson syndrome, typically occurring early in treatment and predominantly affecting elderly male patients.

In this case study, a woman with congenital adrenal hyperplasia experienced substantial improvement in musculoskeletal and neurobehavioral symptoms after low-dose testosterone therapy, highlighting its potential role in managing chronic glucocorticoid overtreatment effects.

In this retrospective chart review, researchers found that keratinocyte carcinomas on the scalp and forehead of non-alopecic women occurred more frequently in the part line of the scalp, with basal cell carcinoma being more common than squamous cell carcinoma.

This study identified three Ayurvedic compounds that may serve as potential treatments against the macrolide-resistant enzyme murE of *Tropheryma whipplei*, addressing challenges in treating Whipple disease.

This meta-analysis found that patients with alopecia areata, particularly those with more extensive forms like alopecia totalis and universalis, may face a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, though no links were found with specific conditions like ischemic stroke or myocardial infarction.

In this study, researchers presented cases of cellular neurothekeoma in three male family members with early-onset in infancy, suggesting a potential genetic component and inheritance pattern, which deviates from the typical presentation seen mostly in women between 20–30 years.

This study found that ethosomes containing 30% ethanol slightly improved the targeting of dutasteride to hair follicles in vitro, with a higher targeting factor compared to dried ethosomes and controls after 24 hours on porcine skin.

This study found a high prevalence of alopecia in adolescents from northern Sudan, especially among females, and identified iron deficiency as significantly associated with the condition.

This study found that oral tofacitinib significantly reduced alopecia severity and improved quality of life over 12 months for children with moderate to severe alopecia areata, though the authors recommend more research due to the small sample size and absence of a control group.

This study found that dutasteride-loaded transfersomes, compared to traditional liposomes, better target hair follicles by releasing the drug in a more controlled manner, as shown in vitro with enhanced follicular targeting (Tf = 0.32 versus 0.15, p < 0.005) using porcine ear skin.

In this study, ritlecitinib, an oral medication approved for adolescents and adults, significantly reduced scalp hair loss and promoted eyebrow and eyelash regrowth in severe alopecia areata patients, with benefits sustained over 48 weeks and generally well-tolerated minor side effects.

In this nonrandomized controlled trial, tenon capsule injection of platelet-rich plasma improved capillary perfusion and may enhance short-term vision in patients with acute nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy.

This study developed and validated a reliable RP-HPLC method for accurately quantifying dutasteride in pharmaceutical formulations and bulk pharmaceuticals using a Shiseido C18 analytical column, demonstrating precision, accuracy, and sensitivity across a concentration range of 10 to 22 ppm.

In this study of 50 rural children with tinea capitis, 64% had the non-inflammatory type, while 28% had the inflammatory type, with most cases showing positive results in KOH examinations.

This article reviews various topics including medically important plants in dermatology, supporting medicinal herbs for primary dysmenorrhea, and several drug delivery systems, without providing new clinical findings.

This review discusses the role of biotin in enzyme function and its effects on hair, skin, and nail health, noting that significant improvements are mostly seen in people with biotin deficiency, and reports no new clinical results.
