This study found that the Massachusetts General Hospital Hairpulling Scale has acceptable internal consistency and divergent validity for assessing Trichotillomania severity, but demonstrated inadequate test-retest reliability and mixed convergent validity.

This study introduces three spectrophotometric techniques for accurately determining finasteride and tadalafil in their combined pharmaceutical form, demonstrating their sustainability, sensitivity, and suitability for quality assurance, alongside a dissolution study following FDA guidelines.

This pilot study employed in-vivo multiphoton microscopy to visualize pigment-producing melanocytes in vitiligo patients, aiming to enhance understanding of treatment impacts and potentially improve transplantation therapies.

This study found that S. rautanenii bark extract has an anti-proliferative effect on D. dorotocephala, suggesting it may have potential anticancer properties when evaluated using inexpensive planaria assays.

This study developed a validated method to detect prohibited drugs in dietary supplements, finding minoxidil, triaminodil, and finasteride in some samples.

This abstract reports that topical minoxidil is currently the only FDA-approved treatment for pattern hair loss in both men and women.

This study utilized a novel mass spectrometry imaging technique to demonstrate that argan, avocado, and coconut oils are incorporated into hair fibers during cosmetic treatments, supporting their potential use in formulations for enhancing hair health and treating conditions like alopecia.

This study found that high-dose minoxidil, a potassium channel opener, may protect neuronal tissue from damage following transient focal cerebral ischemia in mice.

This study found that four bacterial isolates from a microbiology laboratory collection demonstrated resistance to selenate, with molecular analysis showing they closely resemble different strains of Bacillus megaterium.

This study found that a new deoxycholic acid derivative may offer a similar prostatoprotective effect to finasteride with lower toxicity in rat models.

This case report describes a 20-year-old female who ingested an unknown quantity of minoxidil tablets in an overdose, presenting with cardiovascular symptoms, but her condition stabilized after supportive care.

This study introduces genital sex differentiation parameters (GSDP) to analyze sexual differences in external genitalia and perineum development in mice, revealing varied sensitivity to androgen inhibition in genital structures.

This study found that microbial transformation of dihydrotestosterone with two types of fungi produced eight metabolites, among which metabolites 5–7 were significant inhibitors of butyrylcholinesterase, suggesting potential in Alzheimer's disease management.

Hair can show daily calcium changes, linked to body calcium levels and influenced by hormones, and can help assess calcium metabolism issues.

In this study, men with pre-diabetes seeking treatment for erectile dysfunction had worse hormonal and metabolic profiles and a higher risk of severe erectile dysfunction compared to those without pre-diabetes.

This study used a novel extraction method to detect and measure mineralocorticoids and glucocorticoids in hair follicles, concluding these steroids may serve as effective biomarkers for diagnosing conditions related to steroid excess or deficiency, such as Cushing’s syndrome and congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

This study found that copper levels varied significantly by gender, while young infants had higher levels of copper, zinc, calcium, magnesium, and iron compared to older age groups.

In this case study, a daily morning Detox Drink combined with Malasana improved bowel frequency, stool consistency, and other constipation-related symptoms in a 37-year-old woman with chronic Malabaddha.

In this review of permanent hairstyles like perms, the authors discuss the chemical processes involved and highlight potential risks such as hair and scalp damage, emphasizing the need for careful client assessment and safe application techniques to mitigate these risks.

Women's hair has more sulfur, and black hair has more calcium than white hair.

This study demonstrated that using a mass spectrometry imaging technique, researchers were able to visualize the incorporation of argan, avocado, and coconut oils into hair fibers, suggesting their potential in cosmetic and alopecia treatments by confirming oil absorption and fiber modification.

This study introduces a five-modal microscopy technique that allows label-free, in vivo observation and quantitative analysis of various wound healing processes.

In this study, the researchers found that trichoscopy can effectively visualize scalp micropigmentation, identified by homogenous, grey to black circular dots similar to closely cut hair, potentially reducing the need for invasive procedures.

This study identified a sulfotransferase activity in rat liver that catalyzes the sulfation of minoxidil, contributing to its delayed hypotensive effects.

This study found that Finasteride may spontaneously diffuse into an SDS-based model cell membrane at a significant rate, with distinct behavior in polar and non-polar solutions.

This study found that a histochemical stain using 4-dimethyl-aminocinnamaldehyde effectively distinguishes between plucked anagen and telogen hairs by causing the root ends of anagen hairs to develop a red color.

Finasteride treatment changes certain urine metabolites in male pattern baldness patients.

This study reports a highly sensitive MEMS silicon-hair device that mimics hair follicle functions by detecting minimal forces and moments, including electrostatic attraction and surface tension of liquids.

This study established a method using reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography to determine finasteride concentration in hair cosmetics, showing a strong linear relationship with mass concentration and recoveries between 90.3% and 102.0%.
