This systematic review of Mendelian randomization studies reports that autoimmune thyroid disease is associated with increased risk for numerous health conditions, including coronary atherosclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis, while decreasing risks for others, such as lung cancer.

This study found that renin and d-dimer levels were significantly higher in PCOS patients, particularly those also infected with COVID-19, compared to non-PCOS women.

This study found that chronic administration of finasteride affected the isotopic composition of testosterone and nandrolone metabolites, impacting the drug-testing outcomes in athletic contexts.

This study presents a new method for evaluating cosmetic treatments by measuring the resistance of hair to mechanical wear, revealing differences related to hair ethnicity and treatment type.

This study concluded that the Wnt signaling pathway does not significantly influence human keratoacanthoma development, but the overexpression of Sox9 suggests alternate signaling involvement.

This study found that DNA damage in obese women was linked to serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and hair chromium levels, with higher serum vitamin D associated with less damage and higher chromium with more damage.

This study observed that mixed breed cows with alopecia, ill-thrift, and infertility had significant decreases in serum copper, zinc, calcium, inorganic phosphorus, and magnesium, alongside signs of anemia.

This study found that cows with alopecia, ill-thrift, and infertility exhibited significant decreases in serum copper, zinc, calcium, inorganic phosphorus, magnesium, and hematological measures, indicating moderate microcytic, hypochromic anemia.

This study found a positive association between bilateral diagonal earlobe crease and bilateral preauricular crease with coronary artery disease, with both creases together predicting the disease with 90% accuracy.

In this study, researchers developed iron-curcumin-coordinated nanoparticles to enhance curcumin's bioavailability and therapeutic effects, finding that these nanoparticles accelerate wound healing in diabetic mice by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress more effectively than free curcumin.

In this study, researchers developed mango pectin-based hair gels for traction alopecia in black women, finding the gels exhibited beneficial properties for hair and good stability, suggesting potential as phytocosmetic treatments without common adverse effects.

This study found that bioconjugating 16-methylheptadecanoic acid (16-MHA) to damaged hair can mimic the protective properties of 18-methyleicosanoic acid (18-MEA), restoring the hair's structural integrity and moisture homeostasis, even after washing.

This study evaluated herbal formulations, including Neem and Hibiscus soaps and medicated oil, made from certain medicinal plants in India, finding them effective for antimicrobial purposes and beneficial for skin and hair, suggesting they are suitable for public use.

This consensus statement from Saudi Arabia outlines evidence- and experience-based recommendations for diagnosing and managing alopecia areata, focusing on severity assessment, prognostic indicators, and therapeutic options, with special attention to pediatric patients and uncommon cases.

This article provides tables summarizing various medical conditions and symptoms related to COVID-19, sepsis, and cardiovascular issues, but it does not report new research findings.

This study found that COVID-19 patients with skin symptoms had a shorter hospital stay than those without, suggesting these signs may indicate a different disease course.

This study found that integrating Lactobacillus-rich probiotic nutrition and fractional CO₂ laser therapy with clotrimazole in mucoadhesive hydrogels significantly improved clinical and structural outcomes for women with recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis, suggesting a promising advanced therapy, though further validation in larger trials is needed.

This study found that kinematic alignment in total knee arthroplasty leads to a higher proportion of patients requiring smaller femoral components compared to traditional mechanical alignment, with statistical significance observed in femoral sizing differences between the two groups.

This article reviews the unapproved use of testosterone for treating female androgen insufficiency and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that in Korean patients, cardiovascular disease-related risk was significantly associated with male sex, moderate to severe androgenetic alopecia, and particularly FV-type alopecia.

This review discusses the cosmetic and health implications of hirsutism and highlights its potential link to serious underlying disorders, but it presents no new clinical findings.

This study found that Sida cordifolia collected in Colombia is a good source of steroidal saponins, which may contribute to its antioxidant and antifungal properties.

This study found a 6.5% prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome among a population of Caucasian women in Spain, based on specific endocrine criteria.

This study found significant species differences in the enzyme activity and inhibitor affinities of prostatic 5α-reductases from rats, dogs, and humans, with variable potencies for different 3-oxo-4-azasteroid inhibitors across species.

Myrtle has various health benefits and potential for medicine development.

This study found that young women with polycystic ovary syndrome have altered endothelial function associated with insulin resistance and lower adiponectin levels.

In this study, the researchers observed that male pattern alopecia is characterized by miniature follicles, enlarged sebaceous glands, and an increased number of mast cells, without significant abnormalities in enzyme activity.

This review proposes focusing on relationships between neuroactive steroids and psychiatric disorder symptoms, rather than relying on traditional disorder classifications, and reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, Ganoderma lucidum extract was found to significantly inhibit 5alpha-reductase activity and testosterone-induced prostate growth in rats, suggesting potential use for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia.

This study found that the binding of finasteride to the enzyme 5a-reductase occurs at a slower rate than previously assumed, complicating the estimation of its real inhibitory constant.
