This study reports that horizontal sections of scalp biopsies improve the diagnosis of alopecia areata, especially when characteristic inflammatory infiltrates are missing.

This study found that transgenic cashmere goats overexpressing thymosin beta-4 have a higher secondary to primary hair follicle ratio, suggesting potential for increased cashmere yield.

This study found that an 8-week low-starch/low-dairy diet led to weight loss, improved insulin sensitivity, and reduced testosterone levels in women with PCOS.

This study reported that total glucosides of paeony capsules were as effective and safe as compound glycyrrhizin tablets for treating mild to moderate alopecia areata.

This study found that maternal Nano-Se supplementation in cashmere goats improved antioxidant status and promoted secondary hair follicle development in fetuses at 110 days.

This study found that petroleum ether extracts of Citrullus colocynthis reduced hair growth initiation time and advanced more hair follicles to the anagen phase in albino rats compared to untreated controls and minoxidil.

This study found that fasting insulin levels are associated with increased cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

This study found that 6-gingerol, a component of ginger, suppresses hair growth rather than promoting it, both in vitro and in vivo, suggesting potential use in hair removal treatments.

Many women with hard-to-treat acne also have PCOS.

This review discusses the complexities of diagnosing polycystic ovary syndrome and reports no new results; the authors suggest a thorough and careful diagnostic approach to avoid misdiagnosis and unnecessary tests.

This study found that topical fluridil increased the anagen hair percentage in men with androgenetic alopecia without causing irritation or systemic absorption over 9 months.

This study found that a histochemical stain using 4-dimethyl-aminocinnamaldehyde effectively distinguishes between plucked anagen and telogen hairs by causing the root ends of anagen hairs to develop a red color.

This study found that mycophenolic acid promotes dermal papilla cell proliferation and anagen hair follicle induction in mice, suggesting potential as a treatment for hair-loss disorders.

This study reports an increased frequency of the DI genotype of the ACE gene polymorphism among women with PCOS, notably in those with hyperandrogenism, and an association of the II genotype with insulin resistance.

This case report illustrates the risk of skin necrosis in patients with high antiphospholipid antibody levels after stopping anticoagulation therapy, highlighting the necessity for careful monitoring.

This study found that the parietal/occipital hair density ratio decreases significantly only when baldness is visibly present, making it no better than the Hamilton/Norwood scale for assessing baldness severity.

This study found that elevated serum cortisol levels and other immunological changes are significantly involved in the active phases of psoriasis eruptions.

This study conclusively demonstrated that in Merino fetuses, secondary follicle initiation is completed several weeks before birth, with a peak 16 days prior and lower levels observed at and after birth.

In this study, vitamin D supplementation showed no significant effect on androgen levels or clinical hyperandrogenism in PCOS women, but when combined with metformin, it improved testosterone levels.

This meta-analysis suggests that combining Kang-ai injection with platinum-based chemotherapy may improve tumor response, performance status, immune functions, and reduce adverse reactions in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

This study found that men with androgenic alopecia had significantly higher levels of certain urinary steroid metabolites, suggesting increased 5 alpha-reductase activity and possible mild hyperadrenal activity.

This study found that (-)-blebbistatin significantly inhibited liver fibrosis in mouse models by reducing tissue stiffness and myofibroblast activation, indicating potential for developing broad-spectrum antifibrotic drugs.

This study observed phenotypic diversity in hair loss among Japanese individuals homozygous for the LIPH c.736T>A mutation and suggests that differences in hair thickness may contribute to varying severities.

This review discusses the role of dermoscopy in diagnosing hair and scalp disorders, noting its ability to aid in differential diagnosis without the need for biopsies; it reports no new clinical results.

This article reviews the history and current medicolegal challenges of doping in sports, focusing on FIFA's procedures and three urgent legal issues, but presents no new findings.

This study reports that scalp biopsies in white adults usually have 16.5 hair follicles, primarily in the anagen phase, with male samples showing fewer follicular units but more fibrous tracts in certain areas.

This study found that a daily dose of 50 mg DHEA only slightly increased the urinary testosterone/epitestosterone ratio for a short period, without exceeding the IOC's acceptable limit.

This study presents a new approach to automatically remove hair artifacts from dermoscopic images, which reportedly performed well compared to existing methods like DullRazor using the PH2 datasets.

This study found that Cynatine HNS significantly improved hair and nail health in women after 90 days compared to placebo.

This study found that zinc treatment in alopecia areata patients may increase CD8+ cells, suggesting its effectiveness could be due to immunomodulation.
