This case report describes a woman with HIV who developed iatrogenic Cushing syndrome and adrenal insufficiency due to the interaction between fluticasone and ritonavir, highlighting the need for careful management of corticosteroid use in patients on protease inhibitors.

This review argues that the immunocompetence hypothesis, linking masculine facial features to attractiveness through health benefits, lacks sufficient evidence and sidesteps alternative explanations.

This study found that sampling hair for cortisol analysis in mother-toddler dyads living in low-income U.S. homes is feasible, with 66% of approached dyads participating.

This review discusses the role of nanoparticles in cancer diagnosis and treatment and outlines their potential to improve outcomes by reducing systemic toxicity and overcoming multidrug resistance, though it reports no new clinical results.

This source discusses how radiotherapy-induced skin fibrosis, a chronic side effect affecting cancer survivors' quality of life, is driven by ongoing inflammation and fibroblast activity, and emphasizes the need for comprehensive dermatologic management and better diagnostic tools.

This study suggests that the GPX-PDE1 and GPX-PDE2 genes in white lupin enhance root hair development and contribute to Pi limitation acclimation by facilitating glycerophosphodiester degradation.

This study concluded that qiviut cortisol can be used as a measure of HPA axis activity in muskoxen, with hair growth phase and body region affecting cortisol levels.

In this chemical investigation, cyclospongiaquinone 1 from the sponge Verongula cf. rigida showed strong steroid 5α-reductase inhibitory activity, comparable to that of finasteride.

This study found that inhibiting the interaction between HOTAIR and EZH2 can block pro-fibrotic gene expression in fibroblasts and interfere with tissue remodeling in systemic sclerosis patient skin.

This study reports that novel hexahydrobenzoquinolin compounds fully inhibited 5α-reductase activity in human genital skin fibroblasts, suggesting their potential for treating conditions like benign prostatic hyperplasia and male pattern baldness.

This study found that patients taking hydroxychloroquine had a significantly higher likelihood of indeterminate QuantiFERON-TB Gold test results compared to those not on the medication, independent of other immunosuppressive drug use.

This study found that certain molecular quantum descriptors can be directly correlated with the biological activity of benzo[c]quinolizin-3-ones, potentially aiding in the identification and design of active compounds.

This article discusses the use of imiquimod as a treatment for actinic keratosis, basal cell carcinoma, and human papillomavirus warts, noting both its therapeutic benefits and common side effects such as local inflammation and flu-like symptoms.

The researchers reported that QR678 Neo® combined with intralesional steroids significantly improved hair regrowth and patient satisfaction in treating alopecia areata compared to steroids alone.

This study found that QV Face Rescue Gel effectively induces collagen production, reduces UV-induced erythema, and decreases transepidermal water loss on sensitive facial skin, while being nonstinging, nonirritating, and noncomedogenic.

This study found that the Qing Cuo Formula significantly reduced serum androgen and inflammatory cytokine levels in hamsters with damp-heat acne and identified potential molecular mechanisms and active compounds involved.

In this study, a novel VDR gene mutation was identified in a child with HVDRR, and the researchers observed that high-dose intravenous calcium therapy led to significant and sustained improvement in rickets symptoms.

This study validated the VQ-Dermato, the first dermatology-specific quality of life instrument in French, and found it to be reliable, acceptable for routine use, and more responsive than the SF36.

In this study, eight patients with hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets who share a specific VDR mutation showed improved clinical symptoms except alopecia after up to 11 years of treatment.

This study found that 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone was the most effective inhibitor of steroid 5α-reductase, showing stronger inhibition than avicequinone C in HaCaT cell assays.

This study found that phenolic compounds from Quercus acutissima, particularly casuarinin, showed strong antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, and antiacne effects in mouse macrophage cells, suggesting potential therapeutic candidates for acne.

In this study, researchers found that the female plumage color variations in the common cuckoo are linked to the female-restricted genome and suggest this pattern is maintained by balancing selection, sharing ancestry with the oriental cuckoo.

This study identified novel compounds as selective inhibitors of the type 1 isoenzyme of 5α-reductase, displaying promising potential for treating DHT-dependent disorders such as acne and androgenic alopecia.

This study found that intradermal QR678 Neo® therapy improved scalp condition in men and women with seborrheic dermatitis unresponsive to standard treatments, reducing flaking and inflammation after eight sessions, with high patient satisfaction reported.

This study found that a synthetic avicequinone C analogue, 5e, was significantly more potent in inhibiting steroid 5α-reductase type 1 activity in human keratinocytes compared to the original isolated compound.

This study observed significant clinical effects, such as hair loss and testicular changes, in common quail treated with the steroids IVF-C Inj and Diane-35, especially highlighting cyproterone acetate's impact on vital organs like the liver.

The HAIR-Q is a reliable tool for assessing patient satisfaction with hair loss treatments.

In this retrospective study of eight Saudi children with hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets, researchers observed that adjunctive cinacalcet appeared safe and showed initial promise in improving serum PTH levels, though further investigation is needed to confirm its efficacy.
