This study found that dutasteride improved maximum urinary flow rate more effectively than finasteride when used in combination therapy with tamsulosin for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia over six months.

This study found that finasteride treatment was effective for male pattern alopecia and that hair loss significantly impacted patients' quality of life and psychological well-being.

This narrative review discusses the initiation and monitoring of gender-affirming hormone therapy in Australia, noting standard testosterone use for trans men and estradiol with anti-androgens for trans women, emphasizing the importance of monitoring cardiovascular and bone health.

In this study, patients with alopecia areata were found to have higher high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T levels compared to healthy controls, indicating a potential link between the condition and cardiovascular risk.

This study found that both finasteride and a new steroidal compound, PM-9, competitively inhibit the 5α-reductase enzyme in Penicillium crustosum broth.

This study developed a sensitive and specific method for detecting testosterone in horse hair, finding trace amounts in samples for up to five months after administering a single dose.

Tanshinone IIA helps protect tissue from low oxygen damage by activating certain cell pathways.

This study found that in PCOS patients, a lower TT/DHT ratio is associated with regular menstruation, while higher ratios are linked to insulin resistance, suggesting its potential as a biomarker for metabolic severity in these patients.

In this clinical study involving individuals with localized alopecia areata, TrA injections were found to significantly outperform MTX, leading to better hair regrowth and higher patient satisfaction, though both treatments had similar mild side effects.

In this study, researchers piloted an asynchronous telemedicine program for isotretinoin management in acne patients, finding that dosing outcomes were similar to synchronous visits and clinicians were comfortable adjusting doses remotely.

This study investigated a nanostructured system using PS-b-PAA diblock copolymer for incorporating the hydrophobic photosensitizer ClAlPc, finding it effective in causing cellular damage in Caco-2 cells under light while demonstrating no cytotoxicity without light, suggesting its potential use in photodynamic therapy.

This study reports on biofeedback treatment for dysfunctional voiding in three adult cases, providing insights into this condition when diagnosed beyond childhood.

The Brigham Eyebrow Tool for Alopecia is a simple and reliable way to measure eyebrow hair loss.

This study found that a hair-coating polyphenol complex significantly enhanced the mechanical strength, UV protection, and antistatic properties of damaged hair, suggesting potential benefits for hair treatment.

In this study of patients with androgenetic alopecia, botulinum toxin type A was found to significantly increase hair counts and improve hair density and coverage, with enhanced results observed when combined with oral finasteride, revealing a safe and effective treatment approach without adverse effects.

This study found that testosterone promotes proliferation, migration, and invasion in human glioblastoma cell lines through its conversion into dihydrotestosterone, which can be inhibited by drugs blocking 5α-reductase activity.

In this animal study, AGO (agomelatine) effectively alleviated testosterone-induced benign prostatic hyperplasia in rats by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation, indicating its potential as a therapeutic option for managing BPH through specific signaling pathways.

This review discusses trichotillomania treatments, highlighting that habit reversal training shows promise for children and adolescents, although further research is needed, as existing literature on this age group is sparse.

Finasteride significantly reduced tics and obsessive-compulsive symptoms in Tourette syndrome patients.

In this case study, a 69-year-old male with a neck swelling was diagnosed with a trichilemmal cyst, highlighting the importance of complete surgical excision for lesions with proliferative or malignant potential.

This study investigated the effects of Akkermansia muciniphila on testosterone-induced hair growth inhibition in mice, finding that both live and pasteurized forms significantly encouraged hair growth and increased hair follicle size and growth factor levels compared to testosterone treatment alone.

This study found that trichoscopic features like exclamation mark hairs and angulated hairs were more indicative of alopecia areata in an Asian population, while features like broken hairs of different lengths and flame hairs were more common in trichotillomania.

This study at Gajra Raja Medical College found that topical methotrexate with tretinoin was more effective but not significantly better than betamethasone with tretinoin for treating alopecia areata over six months, with similar safety profiles between the treatments.

This study explored the use of multiphoton microscopy to monitor changes in tumors and surrounding tissues in breast cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy, finding it may effectively detect treatment response at cellular levels without using exogenous contrast agents.

This study confirmed that microneedle therapy systems (MTS) significantly improve hair growth and skin conditions, including acne and acne scars, without serious side effects.
