This study reports an increase in the use of tamsulosin/finasteride for benign prostatic syndrome in Germany but highlights that reliable comparisons with monotherapies are lacking due to study design deficiencies.

Polygenic Score can help predict severe psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.

This survey found support among BAAPS members for using procedure-specific consent forms to improve clarity and consistency in patient information for aesthetic procedures.

This case report details a rare instance of a young male with coexisting autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 2 and anti-GAD65 antibody-associated stiff person syndrome, where symptoms improved by adding intravenous immunoglobulin therapy, emphasizing the importance of awareness for early diagnosis and treatment.

This study found that women with PCOS reported significant appearance-related distress and social anxiety, especially in social settings.

This study found that the oral Janus kinase inhibitor CP-690,550 has a direct effect on reducing pruritus in patients with psoriasis, independent of clinician-assessed improvements in psoriasis severity.

This review examines the contentious issue of post-finasteride syndrome linked to 5-alpha reductase inhibitors and reports mixed findings on its sexual, physical, and psychological effects; the authors call for more rigorous studies.

No link found between hair loss severity and PSA levels in men.

This review discusses post-SSRI sexual dysfunction and post-finasteride syndrome, highlighting unknowns about their true incidence and underlying causes, and reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses various treatment recommendations for Chronic Prostatitis/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome, noting the need for further trials on herbal therapies and specific indications for surgical intervention, but reports no new clinical results.

Among a Han Chinese cohort, this study found that a higher genetic risk score was linked to increased susceptibility to BPH, larger prostate size, reduced effectiveness of 5ARI treatment, and a higher risk of undergoing TURP.

This study found that males treated with serotonergic antidepressants had an increased risk of erectile dysfunction, with an adjusted odds ratio of 3.2, and the risk for post-SSRI sexual dysfunction was 0.46%, emphasizing the importance of informed consent due to these potential irreversible side effects.

This study found that women with PCOS had significantly elevated plasma levels of PAI-1, which correlated with insulin resistance and obesity.

In this study, finasteride alone or combined with terazosin significantly reduced PSA levels in men with BPH, while terazosin alone did not affect PSA levels.

This study aimed to identify characteristics of patients who fail to void during pressure-flow studies, which limits the determination of the cause behind their lower urinary tract symptoms.

This study found that finasteride and its combination with terazosin significantly reduced PSA levels in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, whereas terazosin alone showed no clinically significant effect.

This study found a significant association between the IRS-2 gene variant and an increased risk of PCOS, especially in non-obese women in the Chinese population from Taiwan.

This study found that in young men with post-finasteride syndrome, there are potential genetic risk factors associated with psychological and sexual dysfunctions, suggesting genetic screening may be beneficial before prescribing finasteride.
