Hair loss linked to higher heart disease risk in both men and women.

This report on a case of cutaneous lymphomatoid granulomatosis underscores the pivotal role dermatologists have in its early diagnosis, which could potentially improve the otherwise poor prognosis.

In this study, finasteride was found to reduce costs associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia compared to watchful waiting and terazosin, especially in men with higher prostate-specific antigen levels.

This study highlights the importance of clinicians understanding the effects of gender-affirming hormones like testosterone, estrogen, and antiandrogens on hair growth, to effectively diagnose and treat androgenetic alopecia in gender minority patients.

This study observed that disrupting the Pnkp gene in adult mice resulted in a premature aging-like phenotype, suggesting PNKP's vital role in maintaining normal growth and survival of certain progenitor cell populations.

This article reviews the recognition and management of Staphylococcus aureus toxin-mediated diseases, but it does not present new research findings.

This study found that deleting the CD98hc protein in mouse skin impairs wound healing and homeostasis, resembling aging effects, due to disrupted integrin signaling pathways.

This study found that the gut microbiota composition in patients with post-finasteride syndrome differs significantly from healthy controls, with reduced diversity and specific microbial changes, suggesting a potential diagnostic marker and therapeutic target.

This review discusses the management options for recurrent ischemic priapism, noting that ketoconazole, finasteride, and other hormonal therapies may be effective but can have significant side effects; it reports no new clinical findings.

This study analyzed self-reports from discussion forums to categorize and understand adverse effects experienced by individuals using finasteride, suggesting a need for further investigation into post-finasteride syndrome.

This review discusses the use of platelet-rich plasma in treating androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata, observing overall positive clinical responses without identifiable complications, and reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses recent advancements in nanotechnology for treating hypertrophic scarring and atopic dermatitis, highlighting the potential of nanotherapeutic platforms in enhancing therapeutic effects by modulating the skin's microenvironment.

In this study, researchers developed mango pectin-based hair gels for traction alopecia in black women, finding the gels exhibited beneficial properties for hair and good stability, suggesting potential as phytocosmetic treatments without common adverse effects.

In this study, the aim was to define the indications, diagnostics, and surgical techniques for eyebrow lift procedures, noting that the primary complication is a visible scar, especially concerning for individuals with a tendency for keloid formation.

This study found that keratin filament networks in SG1 cells of mice undergo dynamic changes during cornification, impacting the barrier function of the stratum corneum.

This study demonstrated that in genetic mouse models, the calcium sensor Stim1, not Stim2, is essential for sweat secretion in sweat glands.

This study found that a water-soluble peptide from chicken egg yolk, named Hair Growth Peptide, improved hair growth in mice and female pattern hair loss through increased IGF-1 and VEGF production.

This study found that external light can rapidly activate hair follicle stem cells in animals via a retinal light-sensing pathway linked to the central and autonomic nervous systems.

This study found that plasma cardiac troponin I levels were highest in subjects with alopecia areata, potentially indicating increased heart remodeling and a need for close cardiovascular monitoring in these individuals.

This study found that sensitive scalp is characterized by increased pH levels, redness, altered sebum composition, and a disrupted microbiome, suggesting these features could inform treatment approaches.

This study found that the detection rate of clinically insignificant prostate cancer increases with the number of repeat prostate biopsies in patients with persistently suspicious prostate cancer.

In this prospective cohort study, male pattern baldness was identified as an independent predictor of prostate cancer, while the 2D:4D finger ratio was not associated with the cancer risk.

This study found that among prostate cancer patients undergoing a biopsy, those with metabolic syndrome tended to have a lower Gleason score compared to those without the syndrome.
