This study demonstrated that using lead-doped keratin film as a calibration standard allows for accurate tracking of lead distribution along hair strands, revealing different exposure patterns among workers in a battery manufacturing factory in Thailand.

This study found evidence that atopic dermatitis may increase the risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis, type 1 diabetes, and alopecia areata, but not other autoimmune diseases.

This study found no significant evidence supporting the effectiveness of platelet-rich plasma injections for treating mild-to-moderate erectile dysfunction compared to placebo.

This study reviewed existing evidence on using PRP to manage ankle osteoarthritis, reporting significant short-term improvements in pain and function in patients with stage II-III OA, but concluded there is insufficient high-quality evidence to establish its overall effectiveness and safety.

This abstract describes a clinical trial registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry, with its first participant enrolled on September 30, 2024; no specific study outcomes are reported.

This study concluded that repeated platelet-rich plasma injections provided greater and more consistent improvements in stress urinary incontinence symptoms compared to pelvic floor muscle training.

In this study, a potentiometric titration method was developed for determining minoxidil, achieving recoveries of 97.4% to 98.7%, and it showed agreement with a chromatographic procedure at a 90% confidence level.

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.

This review explores the potential of platelet-rich plasma therapy for early ovarian reserve decline and premature ovarian insufficiency, indicating some ovarian function improvements in initial studies but highlighting the need for further research.

In this study, a bidirectional Mendelian randomization analysis found a causal link between alopecia areata and hypothyroidism, indicating that each condition may influence the other, while no similar relationship was observed between androgenetic alopecia and hypothyroidism.

This study found that a new quercetin-loaded self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system improved quercetin bioavailability by 149.8% compared to its suspension in rats.

In this study, researchers developed a sensitive LC–MS–MS assay to measure 3α-androstanediol levels in rat plasma and observed that testosterone raises these levels via a 5α-reductase pathway.

This study developed and validated a reliable method using chromatography and mass spectrometry to accurately measure finasteride levels in human plasma.

In a study conducted on mice, researchers observed that exposure to ionizing radiation led to significant metabolic imbalances, including dyslipidemia and disruptions in amino acid metabolism, with activated protein C providing partial protection by normalizing certain plasma metabolites and lipids.

In this Mendelian randomization study, shortened leukocyte telomere length was associated with an increased risk of androgenetic alopecia, but no causal relationship was found with alopecia areata.

This study found that combining adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells with platelet-rich plasma improved key healing markers in bowel anastomoses in rats with induced colitis, suggesting potential benefits for anastomosis recovery even in inflamed conditions.

This study found that women with hirsutism in the Amassoma metropolis had higher levels of testosterone, cholesterol, and glucose compared to non-bearded women.

This study suggests potential causal links between blood levels of glutamine, citric acid, glucose, various lipids, and lipoproteins with alopecia areata, finding glutamine may have a protective effect and noting no evidence of reverse causality. Further research is needed to validate these associations.

This study found that LC-MS/MS assays provided more reliable and precise steroid measurements in human serum compared to traditional immunoassays, particularly at lower concentrations.

This study found that PCOS is common among Iranian women, with phenotypes involving hyperandrogenism exhibiting worse lipid profiles and higher rates of metabolic syndrome compared to healthy women.

In this study, oral broccoli sprouts intake did not affect plasma androgen levels in males, while alfalfa sprouts intake increased testosterone and DHT levels, which may help prevent male late onset hypogonadism.

This review discusses various surgical techniques for treating androgenetic and scarring alopecia and highlights the importance of understanding scalp anatomy and hair physiology, but it does not present new clinical results.

This study developed and validated a highly sensitive LC-MS/MS method for detecting multiple steroid hormones in urine and serum/plasma, demonstrating its potential for use in large-scale biomonitoring studies.

This collection from the 2021 Manfred Donike Workshop outlines advancements in doping detection, highlighting new test methods and challenges, with a focus on steroidal substances, peptide hormones, and gene doping analysis.

This study found that ATR-FTIR spectroscopy combined with machine learning effectively differentiated alopecia areata patients from healthy controls with an AUC of 0.85, and also showed promise in predicting treatment response, particularly through alterations in the Amide I band.

The researchers reported a high incidence of hyperuricemia in women with PCOS, with positive correlations to testosterone, SHBG, HOMA-IR, and LDL levels, but negative correlations to HbA1C, FPG, and FSI.

This study found that cell-free RNA, particularly DNAJB9, shows potential as a biomarker for diagnosing and prognosing female androgenetic alopecia using a machine learning model.

This study found that nuclear androgen receptors are not necessary for androgen self-administration, suggesting that plasma membrane receptors might be involved.

This study found that hair cortisol concentration is a promising stress indicator in cattle but not in pigs, where external factors and lower cortisol response may interfere with its validity.

This study found that the film-trigger applicator system enhanced drug delivery efficiency and skin penetration of dissolving microneedles compared to traditional patch systems in both lab and animal models.
