This review discusses the historical and modern use of silver for reducing infections and aiding healing in burns, wounds, and medical devices, noting its benefits and limitations in various applications.

This review describes the approved use and adverse effects of gefitinib in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer, without presenting new clinical findings.

This review discusses the adverse skin effects of EGFR inhibitors used in cancer treatment, exploring their mechanisms and offering strategies for prevention and management, but reports no new experimental findings.

This review compiles data on how the apelinergic system may protect against heart damage caused by doxorubicin cancer treatment, suggesting its potential to mitigate cardiotoxicity, though further research in chronic models is needed to confirm these effects and mechanisms.

This review discusses the mechanisms of zinc transport, its role in human health, and the effects of zinc imbalance, without reporting new results.

This study reports the synthesis and structural characterization of a novel dinuclear platinum(III) complex with potential antitumor and catalytic activity.

This study suggests that bioactives like Curcumin, Quercetin, and "Tulsi" may relieve chemotherapy-induced adverse drug reactions in cancer patients, potentially reducing resistance and recurrence.

This report discusses a rare case of polypoid cystitis in a 45-year-old Asian man, which mimicked a bladder tumor and caused bilateral upper tract obstruction that was successfully treated through staged endoscopic management, ureteral stenting, and oral steroids.

This study observed that 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 restored rickets symptoms in genetically modified rats, suggesting its direct action through vitamin D receptor pathways.

This study established an androgen-responsive human organ culture model using hair follicles, demonstrating that women's intermediate facial follicles grow more hair in response to men's higher androgen levels.

Androgens can cause hair growth in some areas and hair loss on the scalp.

This study found that longer exposure to 5α-reductase inhibitors significantly increased the risk of persistent erectile dysfunction, especially in younger men exposed to finasteride.

This article reviews sex disparities in COVID-19 outcomes and explores the influence of sex hormones on disease severity, but it reports no new results; further studies are ongoing.

This review describes techniques to manage intraoperative floppy iris syndrome linked to alpha-1 blocker use in cataract surgery, highlighting the need for patient disclosure of medication use but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the potential persistent adverse effects associated with 5α reductase inhibitor treatment for androgenetic alopecia but provides no new clinical results; it emphasizes the importance of discussing these risks with patients.

This study found that finasteride treatment significantly reduced hirsutism scores in women with idiopathic hirsutism over 6 months and was well tolerated.

In this study, oral finasteride treatment for four weeks reduced the weight of the corpus cavernosum in rats but did not significantly affect erectile function.

This article reviews the interaction between sex hormone pathways and morphogenesis-related signaling in epithelial organ development, using a chicken model to propose testable hypotheses, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that a composition including Serenoa repens extract and anti-inflammatory agents effectively suppressed inflammation-related gene expression in a keratinocyte model, suggesting a potential dual strategy for treating androgenetic alopecia.

This review examines the diverse roles of SRD5α enzymes across species, focusing on their involvement in steroid synthesis, sexual development, and various physiological processes, but reports no new clinical results.

In this laboratory study with rats, treatment with finasteride reduced dihydrotestosterone levels and fertility parameters, with a 30-day recovery period proving insufficient to fully restore sperm function and fertility.

This study found that compound 10 inhibited testosterone conversion to DHT in hamster flank organs and seminal vesicles, whereas compound 11's inhibitory effect varied with dose, linked to halogen electronegativity differences.

This review summarizes how common polymorphisms in androgen and estrogen receptor genes may influence aging-related symptoms and diseases in men, but it reports no new clinical results.

Finasteride reduces testosterone conversion, progesterone lessens this, and levamisole enhances finasteride's effect.

This study found that intracrine androgen signaling via 5α-reductase is essential for optimal endometrial decidualization and vascular development during this process in mice.

This review found that patients taking antiandrogens, 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors, and spironolactone have an increased risk of developing gynecomastia, potentially due to hormonal changes.

This study found that intracrine androgen signaling, mediated by steroid 5α-reductase, is essential for optimal decidualization and vascular development in the endometrium during pregnancy, indicating potential targets for improving age-related fertility issues.

In this study, flutamide at therapeutic doses caused significant histological changes in the testes and epididymis of adult albino rats, reducing androgen receptor immunoreactivity and increasing estrogen receptor immunoreactivity.

This study found that the total testosterone/dihydrotestosterone ratio is significantly higher in women with polycystic ovary syndrome and is associated with a worse metabolic profile in both PCOS and healthy women.

This study found that testosterone therapy improved physical performance and strength in older men with low testosterone over 36 months, whether administered alone or with finasteride.
