In this study, researchers found that finasteride undergoes second-order alkaline degradation kinetics and that its degraded form negatively impacts cell proliferation, highlighting the need for careful handling in pharmaceutical manufacturing and storage.

In this study, nifedipine provided rapid symptomatic relief in most patients with severe recalcitrant perniosis, but some experienced side effects that limited dosage and two patients were lost to follow-up.

This report describes a case of widespread Porokeratotic eccrine and hair follicle nevus in a 15-year-old woman with keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness syndrome, involving both eccrine ostia and hair follicle infundibula.

This review examines experimental and clinical evidence on PDRN, a drug derived from salmon DNA that acts via the adenosine A2A receptor and shows promise for tissue repair and treatment of diabetic foot ulcers in regenerative medicine.

This study found that biodegradable hyperbranched polyesters improved the solubility and loading capacity of hydrophobic drugs, with complete pyrene release achieved in 16 days under enzymatic conditions.

This report details a case study where a 40-year-old woman experienced allergic contact dermatitis and angioedema-like symptoms after using PPD-containing hair dye. Patch testing confirmed a positive reaction to PPD, highlighting the substance's potential to cause both T-cell and IgE-mediated hypersensitivity reactions.

This case report identifies a 32-year-old woman with undiagnosed PHPT-1a who exhibited complete pseudo-anodontia and persistent patchy alopecia areata, suggesting these may be new nonclassical features of a GNAS pathogenic variant.

This review critically examines Forensic DNA Phenotyping, highlighting high accuracy in predicting certain traits but also legal and ethical challenges, particularly around regulatory fragmentation and issues of genetic privacy.

This article highlights the health risks associated with adding paraphenylenediamine to mehndi, such as contact dermatitis and asthma, and emphasizes the need for regulatory checks as its use grows among cancer patients, women with alopecia, and pregnant individuals.

In this study, researchers confirmed linkage of a form of hair-nail ectodermal dysplasia to chromosome 12 in a Pakistani family, suggesting a possible non-coding mutation in KRTHB5 or a mutation in an unknown gene.

This study found that overexpression of the metabolic enzyme PHGDH can promote cancer initiation and progression, highlighting its significant role in tumor cell proliferation and tumorigenesis.

This paper discusses various toxicological properties of diphenyl cresyl phosphate, highlighting its low acute toxicity, potential neurotoxicity linked to o-cresyl phosphate content, and the lack of data for inhalation exposure, but presents no new experimental findings.

This article discusses the introduction of the term 'prepubertal pattern hair loss' to describe hair thinning in children under 10 without physical abnormalities, and reports no new clinical findings.

This study highlights the potential of forensic DNA phenotyping using Next Generation Sequencing to predict eye, hair, and skin color, aiding criminal investigations, though adoption faces challenges due to incomplete genetic understanding and ethical, social, and legal concerns.

This study indicates that individuals exposed to PPD mount varying immune responses, with either tolerance, subclinical inflammation, or allergy, suggesting no true non-responders to PPD.

This study found that PNU 157706 is a highly potent inhibitor of human 5α-reductase enzymes, showing a stronger and longer-lasting antiprostatic effect in rats compared to finasteride.

This policy brief found that post-drug syndromes are under-recognized in current pharmacovigilance systems, leading to inadequate risk assessments and prolonged patient harm from persistent drug-induced conditions.

This source explains that Equine Cushing’s disease, or PPID, in horses is due to the degeneration of brain cells producing dopamine, leading to elevated cortisol levels and characteristic symptoms; it outlines diagnosis methods and emphasizes life-long pergolide treatment to manage the condition.

This report documents the first known case of acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy potentially linked to pegylated interferon-alpha 2a in a woman undergoing treatment for chronic hepatitis C.

This study suggests that finasteride may inhibit the enzyme phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase, which could contribute to its sexual and psychological side effects.

This policy brief reports that post-drug syndromes like Post-Finasteride Syndrome are largely overlooked in current pharmacovigilance systems, which prioritize acute drug reactions, resulting in inadequate recognition and management of persistent medication-induced conditions.

PDRN may help with female hair loss, but more research is needed.

This observational study reports a striking correlation between the use of henna hair dye and a specific pattern of hair loss, termed "hennapecia," but calls for experimental research to determine causality.

This study observed that five out of fourteen individuals aged 13-16 years, who were homozygous for the p.C282Y mutation related to hemochromatosis, had increased liver and phlebotomy-mobilized iron levels.

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.

In this rodent model study, the researchers reported that using low-intensity focused ultrasound with phenytoin enhanced its anti-epileptic efficacy by disrupting plasma protein binding in a region-specific manner, reducing seizure frequency and duration.

Acute leukemias with the Philadelphia chromosome may be biphenotypic, and identifying this is important for proper treatment.

This study models the pathways of nandrolone and its metabolites in the body and suggests methods to counteract finasteride's role in enabling PED users to cheat drug tests.

In this study, researchers successfully synthesized a rigid 3a-arylhexahydropentalene-1,6-dione from the easily accessible starting material cyclopent-2-en-1-one, highlighting a structural motif common in natural products and pharmaceuticals.

This review discusses the medical and dental applications of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), highlighting their potential for improving drug delivery and providing biocompatible solutions for medical devices, but reports no new clinical results.
