In this study, researchers identified two person-centered sexual function profiles among women, linked to physical and psychological factors, with PCOS showing greater, though not significant, presence in the dysfunction profile. The dysfunction was associated with higher adiposity and body-image distress.

This study found that psychological and social reporting after trauma with scarring can indicate a person's reaction and susceptibility to psychopathology.

This study identified key genes and miRNAs involved in feather morphogenesis in Zhedong White geese, highlighting a negative correlation between FOXO3 and miR-144-y.

In this study of women with androgenetic alopecia, researchers found no significant correlation between migraine occurrence and hair loss severity, although a significant relationship was observed between hair loss severity and pain intensity in those with migraine.

This study found that women with PCOS, especially those who are obese, showed higher oxidative stress and decreased antioxidant levels, correlating with metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease risk factors.

This study found variable outcomes in hair loss treatment with autologous cell-based therapy using DSC cells, with certain gene markers showing inconsistent correlations with treatment efficacy.

This study developed a validated gas chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry assay to assess sex steroid hormones in cerebrospinal fluid, finding substantial levels of DHEA, androstenedione, and testosterone, with strong correlations to serum levels, providing insight into sex steroid dynamics in the human CNS.

This study found that hair manganese levels did not vary by acute coronary syndrome or stable coronary artery disease severity, but a modest, non-significant correlation with body mass index suggests a potential link between manganese homeostasis and cardiometabolic status that warrants further investigation.

In this study conducted at Afzalipour Hospital in Iran, researchers found a significant prevalence of alopecia, particularly resembling telogen effluvium, among COVID-19-recovered patients, with hair loss being more common in females and correlating with arterial oxygen saturation levels.

This study found that collecting hair samples for cortisol analysis is feasible in community-dwelling individuals with longstanding multiple sclerosis, although no significant correlation between hair cortisol levels and perceived chronic stress was observed, highlighting the complexity of stress measurement in this population.

In this study, isotretinoin treatment significantly increased p53 expression in the skin of acne vulgaris patients, correlating with reduced acne severity and suggesting mechanisms for sebum suppression and side effects.

This study found that hair steroid profiling is a feasible, non-invasive alternative to serum analysis in adolescents, with androgen levels correlating more strongly with body size and composition in boys than girls.

In this study, digital treatment for androgenetic alopecia over six months led to significant improvements in quality of life among Brazilian men, particularly for those with consistent program adherence, although the absence of an in-person comparator limits causal conclusions.

In this study, researchers found a significant relationship between mid-luteal progesterone levels and 25-hydroxy vitamin D levels in infertile patients, suggesting that about 20 ng/mL of vitamin D may be necessary to trigger ovulation or support progesterone secretion.

In this study, researchers observed low variability in hair formoterol concentrations for COPD patients with stable adherence, but inter-patient differences and other factors may limit the effectiveness of hair analysis as a reliable tool for assessing medication adherence.

This study found that high-frequency ultrasound was effective in localizing deep tumor margins in basal cell carcinoma, suggesting its utility in selecting therapeutic approaches.

This study observed that the relationship between AA disease severity and psychological issues like anxiety and depression varies by country, sex, and age, indicating more detailed research is needed to fully understand its global mental health impact.

This meta-analysis found a consistent positive association between glucocorticoids in hair and obesity measures, with the relationship between hair cortisone and waist circumference being particularly clinically relevant.

This study found that both Japanese male and female hair darkens with age, with significant sex differences in melanin composition and melanosome morphology influencing hair color.

People with alopecia who are more resilient tend to feel less stressed.

This review found that the DLQI is widely used as a benchmark in the development and validation of dermatology quality-of-life measures.

This study found that applying a cosmetic active ingredient improved the Young's modulus of chemically damaged human hair fibers, suggesting enhanced mechanical properties compared to untreated fibers.

This study found that patients with alopecia areata had significantly higher serum MIF levels compared to healthy controls, which correlated with greater disease severity and duration.

This study analyzed the genetics of the patchiness phenotype in New Zealand rabbits and found that the gene KRT82, with identified SNPs in its promoter, may serve as a potential biomarker for breeding these rabbits.

This study reports that high expression of proteins ST14 and TMEFF1 in ovarian cancer correlates with higher tumor malignancy and worse prognosis, and reveals an interaction where ST14 regulates TMEFF1 to promote cancer cell proliferation, migration, and invasion.

This study found that cashmere goats with greater fasted live-weight gain during the non-growing period had increased cashmere yield and staple length, likely due to higher secondary hair follicle activity.

In this study, hair shaft miR-29a levels were significantly lower in scleroderma patients than in controls, suggesting that hair microRNAs could serve as independent biomarkers for the disease.

This study suggests that mechanical stress may influence androgenic alopecia patterning through a stretch-induced and androgen-mediated mechanotransduction mechanism in dermal papilla cells.

In this study, micronutrient intake was associated with androgen levels in women with PCOS, with the association more pronounced in NA PCOS compared to HA PCOS groups.

In this study, the Swedish Hairdex-S was well-received by alopecia areata patients and demonstrated strong psychometric properties and consistency with the original version, supporting its use for patient quality of life evaluation and research.
