This review discusses skin diseases related to contraceptive use, reporting potential issues with oral contraceptives and infrequent reactions to mechanical or barrier methods without new clinical findings.

In this cross-sectional study, researchers observed that patients with hidradenitis suppurativa, particularly women, had lower 2D:4D finger length ratios compared to healthy controls, suggesting a potential link to prenatal androgen exposure and disease severity, though further prospective research is needed to confirm this hormonal impact.

This study found that women with PCOS had significantly higher levels of several autoantibodies compared to healthy controls, suggesting a potential autoimmune component to PCOS that might aid in better disease characterization and personalized management.

This study observed that in infertile females, those with PCOS had higher BMI, increased LH levels, and altered LH/FSH ratios compared to non-PCOS females, although no significant correlation was found between BMI and hormone levels among the PCOS group.

This study explored non-invasive methods for monitoring low molecular weight biomarkers on the skin's surface, concluding that certain amino acid ratios, such as Phe/Trp, could serve as potential indicators of skin inflammation and cancer.

This study reports that monthly subcutaneous injections of concentrated growth factors improved hair appearance and density in patients with androgenetic alopecia, with no side effects observed in the follow-up period.

This case report described a 9-year-old girl initially suspected to have complete androgen insensitivity syndrome, whose laboratory tests later suggested an alternative diagnosis involving atypical steroid metabolism patterns and hormonal responses.

This study found that a herbal shampoo and solution were more effective than placebo in reducing hair loss and improving hair growth in participants with androgenetic alopecia and telogen effluvium.

This study found that trichoscopic parameters in male androgenetic alopecia deteriorated progressively with increasing disease severity and were significantly linked to genetic, metabolic, and psychosocial factors.

In a mouse model, this study found that exposure to PM2.5 leads to significant postpartum hair loss, apparent via morphological changes and elevated markers of inflammation, apoptosis, and fibrosis, potentially exacerbated by changes in hormone receptors and stem cell populations.

This study found that the type of reporter significantly influences the detection of cancer therapy-induced alopecia signals, highlighting differences in signal amplification between patients and healthcare professionals.

This study analyzed data from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System to evaluate cancer therapy–induced alopecia, finding that reporter type significantly affects signal detection, with docetaxel showing the highest disproportionate association overall, and vismodegib ranking highest among healthcare professional reports.

The study found that metformin alone most effectively reduced insulin resistance in Iraqi women with PCOS, but combining metformin with finasteride produced greater improvements in insulin sensitivity markers.

This study found a higher prevalence of lipid abnormalities in individuals with androgenetic alopecia, especially in severe cases, highlighting the need for early screening and treatment to prevent cardiovascular complications.

This study observed that women with PCOS exhibited higher levels of triglycerides, fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, total testosterone, DHEAS, and LH/FSH ratio, and lower HDL cholesterol compared to healthy controls, with these markers varying across different PCOS phenotypes.

The drinkable supplement increased hair growth and was safe for women with hair loss.

This study found a significant positive association between higher air quality index values and the incidence of alopecia areata, with a clear dose-response relationship observed among the participants.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome showed significant differences in clinical symptoms, hormone levels, and ovarian morphology compared to healthy controls, such as higher body mass index, menstrual irregularities, elevated luteinizing hormone, and polycystic ovarian morphology, suggesting these factors enhance diagnostic accuracy.

In this clinical study, the researchers found that a standardized wheat polar lipid complex, in both oil and powder form, significantly reduced hair shedding and improved hair growth in 99 women with acute telogen effluvium over 56 to 84 days.

In this study, researchers examined vitamin D levels and blood count parameters in children and adolescents with non-scarring alopecia, finding significant vitamin D deficiency but no significant differences in deficiency or insufficiency across different types of alopecia.

This study found that activation of RORA significantly promotes the level of autophagy in rat hair follicle stem cells, suggesting a potential target for research on hair follicle development and treatments for conditions like alopecia.

In this study, Tithonia diversifolia extract was found to improve certain digestive parameters in crossbred sheep but did not enhance growth performance, as the improvements in digestion did not translate into increased body weight or feed conversion.

In this study, researchers found that increased androgen levels, such as testosterone, and insulin resistance are strongly associated with more severe acne in adult women, along with a higher incidence of menstrual irregularities and PCOS characteristics.

In this study, reducing agents like ammonium thioglycolate, L-cysteine, and sodium sulfite in shampoo effectively decreased hair flyaway and frizz without causing damage, as no critical hair damage was observed in structural and tensile strength assessments.

This study reported that peanut callus extract, rich in resveratrol, significantly stimulated hair growth and reduced hair loss in an in vitro model and a clinical trial, showing promise as a cosmetic bioactive ingredient.

This study surveyed the use and potential toxicity of medicinal plants in the Fez-Meknes region of Morocco, documenting 59 toxic species used primarily for cosmetic purposes and minor illnesses, and identified hair loss and rheumatism as having the highest informant agreement ratios.

This study found that the petroleum ether extract of Solanum nigrum may promote hair regrowth in testosterone-induced hair loss in rats, as indicated by increased follicle density and anagen/telogen ratio.

This study suggests that human hair keratin-based gradient hydrogels incorporating silver ions may serve as promising dermal templates for wound healing, demonstrating favorable mechanical properties, cell interaction, and antibacterial activity.

This study reports that trichoscopy and histopathology can effectively diagnose alopecia areata incognito and differentiate it from telogen effluvium or androgenetic alopecia, aiding clinicians in better hair regrowth management.

In this study, injecting dermal sheath cup cells into affected areas of pattern hair loss improved hair thickness and patient-reported hair appearance in 62.9% of the participants, with better results in women, without serious side effects.
