This case report highlights an atypical presentation of favus in an immunocompetent adult, where a psoriasiform plaque over the 'bindi' area was successfully treated with systemic itraconazole, achieving complete resolution without relapse. Simple stains proved essential for diagnosis in this resource-limited setting.

In this study, researchers demonstrated that treating platelet rich plasma with microsecond pulsed electric fields effectively activates platelets and induces similar or higher growth factor release compared to traditional bovine thrombin, suggesting a potential clinical use that may be more cost-effective and practical.

This study concluded that the modified Ferriman-Gallwey score was more effective in detecting hyperandrogenism in PCOS patients compared to serum testosterone and free androgen index in Sri Lankan women.

Certain factors like being female, having high cholesterol, using Medicaid, and previous non-biologic treatments increase the risk of multiple biologic failures in psoriasis patients.

This review discusses fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution and highlights diagnostic features, but reports no new clinical results; the authors emphasize the value of trichoscopy and histology in diagnosis.

This review provides a detailed analysis of frontal fibrosing alopecia, focusing on its prevalence in postmenopausal Caucasian women, associated comorbidities, and potential autoimmune, genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors; it emphasizes the need for improved understanding to enhance diagnosis and treatment.

This study found that phosphodiesterase inhibitors may suppress the proliferation of benign prostatic hyperplasia epithelial cells by modulating CCL5 levels in low androgen conditions.

This article discusses the pseudo 'fringe sign' in frontal fibrosing alopecia, highlighting that it is not solely related to traction, and it reports no new clinical results.

This policy brief highlights that post-drug syndromes remain under-recognized in pharmacovigilance, leading to inadequate risk assessments and patient care. It identifies systemic failures in current frameworks and recommends actions to improve long-term drug safety monitoring and education, affecting public health outcomes significantly.

Bullous pemphigoid can look like erythema multiforme, so awareness is needed for proper treatment.

This study found that in young men with post-finasteride syndrome, there are potential genetic risk factors associated with psychological and sexual dysfunctions, suggesting genetic screening may be beneficial before prescribing finasteride.

This case series highlights the real-world challenges and experiences of US healthcare providers using pegvaliase for phenylketonuria treatment, emphasizing patient education on adverse events and dietary changes, and tailored titration schedules, while reporting that most patients achieved treatment efficacy despite initial adverse events.

This study identified distinct and significant adverse event patterns across different drug classes used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia, confirming known risks and suggesting novel safety signals for further investigation.

This study found that in beagles with benign prostate hyperplasia, finasteride treatment increased blood volume and decreased vessel leakiness in the prostate's parenchymal zone as shown by dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI.

This study found that compound 4 from Urtica triangularis subsp. pinnatifida exhibited stronger anti-BPH activity against BPH-1 cells with an IC50 of 79.75 μM compared to finasteride's IC50 of 91.8 μM, while compounds 1, 2, and 5 showed moderate activity.

Female Pattern Hair Loss affects women's quality of life, with limited treatment options and a need for more research.

Frontal fibrosing alopecia is a scarring hair loss condition mainly affecting postmenopausal women, with unclear causes.

In this study, deleting the transcriptional pause factor Nelfb in mouse preadipocyte lineages led to defective dermal fat formation and lethal outcomes, while interventions targeting Pparg could rescue adipocyte differentiation and promote dermal white adipose tissue formation, underscoring Nelfb's critical role in adipogenesis.

This research developed a pig graph pangenome assembly of 27 genomes, revealing the importance of structural variations in adaptation and breed-specific traits, with BTF3 identified as a key gene influencing intramuscular fat and meat quality.

PCFCL may have unrecognized subtypes and needs more research.

This study found that frontal fibrosing alopecia had higher long-term remission rates compared to lichen planopilaris, highlighting differences in their clinical presentations and outcomes.

This study found that three sessions of injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF+) significantly improved hair follicle density, hair volume, and thickness, as well as patient satisfaction in women with female pattern hair loss, with only minor self-limited adverse effects reported.

Finasteride may cause pseudoporphyria, a blistering skin condition.

This review discusses the regulation of the MiT-TFE family transcription factors, particularly TFEB, through phosphorylation-mediated subcellular localization and reports no new clinical results.

This article examines the PCPT study on whether daily finasteride can reduce prostate cancer incidence, describing its methodology and findings but reporting no new clinical results.

This study found that BBS7 is crucial for maintaining Sonic hedgehog signaling activity and periodontal ligament homeostasis, with changes in gene expression observed in occlusal hypofunctional PDL.

This study found that 10.3% of female high school students in Islamabad screened positive for PCOS, with associations including irregular menstrual cycles and higher BMI among those testing positive.

This study suggests that the downregulation of BBS7 in occlusal hypofunctional periodontal ligament impairs Shh signaling, which is essential for maintaining periodontal ligament homeostasis.

This case report suggests that Post-Finasteride Syndrome may involve a sustained imbalance in gut bacteria, with fermenting and hydrogen sulphide-producing bacteria disrupting hormone and mitochondrial functions.

In this study, Trapa bispinosa Roxb. pericarp extract demonstrated inhibitory effects on 5α-reductase activity both in vitro using LNCaP cells and in vivo in a mouse model of benign prostatic hyperplasia, suggesting its potential role in managing the condition.
