This study reported discovering a novel missense variant in a case of autosomal recessive woolly hair in a 31-year-old Chinese woman, which significantly reduced secretion of the encoded protein, likely leading to disease by impairing its hydrolytic function.

In this report, the author shares experiences from a six-month curricular internship, highlighting activities such as arterial pressure monitoring in a community pharmacy and addressing off-label rituximab use at a hospital, alongside discussions of hair loss treatments and nutritional supplementation for dysphagia in the elderly.

This case study reports a good response and tolerability for a combination treatment involving high potency topical corticosteroid, minoxidil 2%, LED, and inosine pranobex in a child with alopecia areata.

The two lotions used day and night may be a good alternative to minoxidil for hair loss treatment with better cosmetic effects and tolerance.

This review discusses scalp skin disorders, their overlapping symptoms, diagnostic techniques, and treatment strategies, emphasizing the importance of accurate differential diagnosis, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that male pattern baldness in European males is strongly heritable and associated with genetic markers linked to earlier puberty, bone density, and pancreatic function.

This study found that longer exposure to 5α-reductase inhibitors significantly increased the risk of persistent erectile dysfunction, especially in younger men exposed to finasteride.
