This study found that GI198745 acts as a time-dependent inhibitor of rat 5α-reductase type 2 but a rapid-equilibrium inhibitor of type 1, potentially making it more effective than finasteride in preventing rat prostate growth.

This article reviews the causes and clinical presentation of pseudofolliculitis barbae, highlighting how genetic susceptibility and hair removal practices contribute to its development, but reports no new research findings.

This study found that telogen, a resting phase of the hair follicle cycle, is characterized by dynamic gene expression, including enhanced cholesterol metabolism and immune signaling, suggesting it is an active regulatory phase despite its quiescent appearance.

The exact cause of growth hormone-responsive alopecia in dogs is unclear.

This study found that hair regrowth in Pomeranians with hair cycle arrest treated with melatonin was not associated with a change in oestrogen receptor-α staining.

This study reviews the mechanisms by which SARS-CoV-2 may impact male fertility, noting potential disruptions in spermatogenesis and hormone secretion, and underscores the need for follow-up in recovered men.

This letter details a case report on platelet-rich plasma treatment for a patient with treatment-resistant frontal fibrosing alopecia, but it does not provide new clinical results.

This review outlines various brow-lifting techniques, focusing on the endoscopic brow-lift for its minimal scarring and higher patient acceptance, and reports no new clinical results.

This study suggests that a microemulsion formulation of Minoxidil effectively enhances drug delivery through hair follicles, showing significant follicular response alterations in an alopecia model.

This case report describes a 23-year-old male patient with nail discoloration that may be associated with COVID-19, suggesting possible microvascular damage.

In this study, researchers observed that purpuric, telangiectatic, lichenoid balanitis was the most common histologic pattern in cases of chronic pseudoerythroplastic balanitis, suggesting a possible link to lichen aureus.

This article discusses surgical treatments for male pattern hair loss in black individuals, emphasizing the need for technique adjustments due to specific characteristics of black skin and hair, but reports no new clinical results.

Bald men are not more virile and may have fewer sexual partners.

In this study, the researchers reported that while both propylene glycol and sodium lauryl sulfate enhanced finasteride's skin deposition, ethanol was the only effective enhancer of finasteride's permeation through the skin.

This article describes a 9-year-old girl with whitish granules on her hair, evaluated in a dermatology clinic, but the abstract does not report a diagnosis or new results.

This article discusses the genetic hair disorder monilethrix, characterized by beaded, fragile hair due to defective keratin genes, and reports no effective treatment currently available; variability in severity was noted among affected siblings.

This study observed an alopecia syphilitica-like pattern of hair loss in a woman with frontal fibrosing alopecia, suggesting it may be another atypical presentation of the condition.

This chapter reviews the causes and underlying steroid pathways of hirsutism and virilization in women, detailing relevant conditions and laboratory assays without reporting new clinical results.

This review discusses various environmental and chemical factors that contribute to hair shaft disorders, such as fractures, and highlights the potential roles of cysteine and glutamine in hair health, but reports no new results.

This study identified that trichoscopy can effectively diagnose frontal fibrosing alopecia by highlighting specific scalp abnormalities in postmenopausal women.

COVID-19 can cause various skin issues, including rashes and 'COVID toes', and may worsen autoimmune diseases or affect men with baldness more severely.

This article presents a case of 5-alpha-reductase deficiency in a Saudi individual, reporting no new research findings.

In this study, young Ukrainian men with alopecia areata were found to generally have higher body circumference measurements, particularly in the upper limbs, lower limbs, and trunk, compared to healthy controls, suggesting potential markers for the disease and aiding personalized diagnosis and treatment approaches.

In this randomized clinical trial, the authors reported that after 12 weeks, 5% dapsone gel was more effective than 1% clindamycin phosphate gel in treating mild to moderate acne vulgaris, showing efficacy in 78.2% of patients compared to 52.7% with clindamycin.

This case report details two consanguineous patients with cerebral autosomal recessive arteriopathy, both having the same HTRA1 gene mutation, but exhibiting different clinical presentations, including one with epileptic seizures and lobar hemorrhages—previously undocumented in this condition.

This study introduced a novel framework called SL-HyDE that significantly improved zero-shot dense retrieval accuracy in medical information retrieval without relying on labeled data.

This study reports that a novel Nano-Structured Lipid Carrier system for delivering dutasteride may enhance its anticancer effects while reducing systemic side effects in clinical settings.

This study presents a case of a 6-month-old infant girl with hypotrichosis and an alopecic plaque in the occipital region, characterized by broken and dystrophic hairs with follicular papules and perifollicular hyperkeratosis, suggesting a diagnostic consideration.

In this review, the authors discussed optimal resources and books for dermatology residency training, identifying useful materials by conducting a Google Book search and incorporating their own experiences to recommend an ideal book set for MD students.

In this study involving 30 Kazakh women with systemic lupus erythematosus, the researchers found a strong correlation between disease activity (SELENA-SLEDAI scores) and organ damage (SLICC/ACR scores), which depended on disease duration and reliably reflected cumulative disease activity.
