This study developed a stable and reliable HPLC-ESI-MS method for determining finasteride levels in human plasma, suitable for pharmacokinetic studies.

This report describes a 60-year-old female with pretibial pruritic papular dermatitis who showed significant improvement of skin lesions after one month of treatment with oral pentoxifylline. The authors highlight the unique clinical and histological features of PPPD and propose pentoxifylline as a potential therapy.

This study found that the natural alkaloid cepharanthine effectively inhibited porcine epidemic diarrhea virus infection in newborn piglets.

This study found that the cocrystal of mycophenolic acid with isonicotinamide significantly improved solubility and dissolution rate, while two other cocrystals showed decreased performance in these areas.

This study observed that propranolol, flunarizine, and divalproex sodium were equally effective in managing migraine across a three-month period in a group of 84 patients, with various side effects noted among the drug groups.

This study found that Dex-loaded hyaluronic acid hydrogel microneedles significantly reduced pain in an acute inflammatory visceral pain model without sedation, suggesting a promising and patient-friendly alternative to intravenous delivery.

In this single-blind clinical trial, adding 1% topical cetirizine to 5% topical minoxidil for 16 weeks did not show improved hair growth outcomes in patients with androgenetic alopecia compared to minoxidil alone, although patient satisfaction was higher with the addition of cetirizine.

This report describes three cases of erythromelanosis follicularis faciei et colli showing significant improvement in facial telangiectasia following treatment with a 595-nm pulsed dye laser, with minimal recurrence observed during follow-up.

In this study, BPA rapidly increased dendritic spine and synapse densities in cultured rat hippocampal neurons, with involvement of estrogen receptors and ERK1/2 and p38 pathways, but disrupted dihydrotestosterone's effects on synaptic plasticity.

In this study, cyproterone acetate was found to be effective in treating 'idiopathic' hirsutism, while a combination of ethinyloestradiol and lynoestrenol reduced hair growth in fewer patients despite uniformly lowering testosterone levels.

This review discusses finasteride's use in manipulating neuroactive steroid levels and its potential effects on behavior, reporting preclinical evidence and clinical observations but providing no new experimental results.

This study found that aminomethylpyrazole compound 10l inhibited hair growth in a mouse model and showed a low risk for photo-irritation, though it was slightly less effective than eflornithine.

This study reports that novel hexahydrobenzoquinolin compounds fully inhibited 5α-reductase activity in human genital skin fibroblasts, suggesting their potential for treating conditions like benign prostatic hyperplasia and male pattern baldness.

This study will explore whether combination therapy with either dutasteride or finasteride and an α1 blocker is more effective than monotherapy for treating BPH, but it reports no new results.

This meta-analysis reports that male sex, hypertension, tamsulosin, finasteride, benzodiazepines, and antipsychotics are significantly associated with increased risk of developing intraoperative floppy-iris syndrome during cataract surgery.

This study found that several synthesized pregnane derivatives exhibited significant inhibitory effects on testosterone conversion to dihydrotestosterone and reduced related androgenic parameters in multiple pharmacological models.

This study developed and validated an HPLC method for detecting a novel 5α-reductase inhibitor in human plasma, supporting its pharmacokinetic evaluation at low doses.

In this study, the ethanol extract of Puerariae Radix was found to promote proliferation and ERK activation in human dermal fibroblasts, suggesting its potential as a new cosmetic ingredient.

This study reported that pentoxifylline-loaded liposomes, optimized using a statistical design method, achieved a maximum encapsulation efficiency of 84.23% and a controlled 72-hour drug release, potentially improving therapeutic delivery of the drug with limited bioavailability.

This review summarizes the adverse effects associated with 5α‐reductase inhibitors, noting slightly increased rates of decreased libido, erectile and ejaculatory dysfunction, gynecomastia, depression, and anxiety, with further studies needed to explore symptom prevalence and persistence.

This study evaluates the compatibility of six active pharmaceutical ingredients, including finasteride and spironolactone, with TrichoFoam™, a foam vehicle used in personalized treatments for alopecia, though it does not report specific results.

Doxazosin alone or combined with finasteride improves prostate symptoms better than finasteride alone, without extra benefits.

This case report describes a 17-year-old patient diagnosed with Netherton syndrome, characterized by pruritic dry skin, short brittle hair, and elevated IgE levels, treated with antihistamines and emollients.

In this study, a new formulation of human placental extract showed antioxidant and neurite outgrowth activities, significantly reduced hair graying in mice, and alleviated neuropathy symptoms, suggesting potential therapeutic benefits.

Estetrol may help prevent hair loss and support hair growth in women.
