This review highlights recent advancements in engineered probiotics for wound healing, reporting that genetically engineered strains of Lactobacillus reuteri and Lactococcus cremoris have shown promise in promoting faster wound healing in pre-clinical and clinical settings, particularly for diabetic foot ulcers.

This study found that low-dose oral minoxidil (≤5 mg/day) effectively increased hair number and diameter in men and women with androgenetic alopecia, and was generally well-tolerated with mostly mild adverse effects, although serious complications were rare and associated mainly with pre-existing heart conditions.

In this randomized clinical trial, minoxidil at 5 mg was not found to be superior to 2.5 mg for treating male androgenetic alopecia over 24 weeks, though the higher dose more frequently caused side effects like pre-tibial edema and dizziness.

This study reports that low-dose oral minoxidil is generally well tolerated from a cardiovascular perspective, and serious side effects like pericardial effusion are associated with higher doses and pre-existing conditions.

This narrative focuses on the experiences of two women with permanent chemotherapy-induced alopecia, highlighting the severe psychological and social impact along with dissatisfaction over pre-treatment information about hair loss, which they initially believed to be temporary.

This literature review found that Long COVID is a complex condition involving multiple body systems, influenced by factors like pre-existing conditions and vaccination status, with differing manifestations and persistence, complicating diagnosis and treatment efforts.

This study observed that a video-assisted teaching program significantly improved the knowledge of polycystic ovarian syndrome among female computer engineering students, with a notable increase from poor to excellent understanding from pre-test to post-test.

In this review, the authors outline a systematic approach for evaluating infertility in women, emphasizing the importance of prompt, non-invasive, and cost-effective assessments, along with providing necessary pre-pregnancy and genetic counseling and accounting for the psychological impact on couples.

This observational study reported that primary ageing dermatoses were more common than non-ageing dermatoses among elderly patients, especially among those with pre-existing skin conditions.

This report suggests that for prostate cancer patients with cardiovascular disease, prescribing the GnRH antagonist degarelix may reduce cardiac events compared to using GnRH agonists, although prescribing should consider potential cardiac risks, particularly in patients with pre-existing conditions or older age.

This study found that permanent dye application causes initial swelling and subsequent degradation of the hair cuticle, with recovery taking more than 8 weeks to approach pre-treatment conditions.

This review examines the potential of plant-derived compounds like quercetin, curcumin, EGCG, apigenin, and cannabinoids for treating neurodegenerative disorders, while discussing their benefits and limitations, and calls for more extensive pre-clinical and clinical research.

This study observed that a significant number of hospitalized COVID-19 patients in Mato Grosso State, Brazil, experienced persistent symptoms like fatigue, memory problems, and hair loss 6 and 12 months after discharge, with higher prevalence among older, lower-income patients and those with pre-existing conditions.

In this study, women who underwent chemotherapy for breast cancer in Islamabad, Pakistan, reported significant physical and psychological challenges, as well as economic strain; the authors concluded that government support and improved pre-treatment counseling could help mitigate these issues.

This study on women aged 18–40 with polycystic ovary syndrome reported that a three-month treatment involving dietary changes, oral contraceptives, fertility drugs, and supplements significantly improved ovulation, menstrual regularity, BMI, and reduced hirsutism, acne, and certain immune factors compared to pre-treatment and control groups.

In this community outreach, participants in Langkat were educated about the benefits of gotu kola leaves as a natural facial moisturizer, resulting in improved knowledge, especially among children, teenagers, and mothers, as shown by pre- and post-test gains.

This review found that various treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and platelet-rich plasma, combined with supplements, showed positive responses in combating androgenetic alopecia. The study specifically highlighted finasteride's effectiveness in increasing hair growth, with different dosages yielding notable improvements in both men and pre-menopausal women.

This article discusses the premade slit method in hair restoration surgery, emphasizing the importance of a tailored depth control instrument for optimal follicle implantation, but provides no new clinical results.

This study found that PBX1 overexpression reduces hair follicle-derived mesenchymal stem cell senescence and apoptosis by interacting with SIRT1 and PARP1, highlighting a potential mechanism for addressing aging-related diseases.

This study found that using urine tenofovir monitoring for PrEP adherence is well-accepted and may help overcome adherence barriers among participants at a U.S. urban clinical center.

PrEP doesn't increase STI risk in high-risk men, anti-androgen drugs may lower ICU admission for male COVID-19 patients, a 3-point injection is better for crow's feet, and the 'Geriatric-8' tool could help assess frailty in older skin cancer patients.

This article reviews the use of spironolactone in dermatology for conditions like female acne, suggesting it may reduce antibiotic and isotretinoin use, and stresses its long-term safety.

Diffuse alopecia in women may be related to androgens and iron deficiency, and basic hormone and nutrient screening is useful.

This study reported that keratin films lacking keratin-associated proteins showed different appearance, structure, and color deposit properties compared to conventional keratin films, suggesting potential for evaluating hair damage.
