This review concluded that corticosteroids improve muscle strength and function in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy over short-term periods, but evidence on prolonging walking ability remains insufficient, and side effects are common.

This study found that lambertianic acid from Platycladus orientalis leaves may protect against dexamethasone-induced skeletal muscle atrophy by reducing atrophy-related proteins without affecting cell viability.

This article provides contact information for Professor A. Brew Atkinson and reports no new research findings; it is not a study abstract.

In this controlled registry study, 8 years of testosterone therapy in hypogonadal men led to a significant decrease in waist circumference, weight, and BMI compared to those without the therapy.

This report describes two cases of glucocorticoid resistance syndrome highlighting genetic diversity; one patient improved with low-dose dexamethasone despite negative genetic testing, while the other is monitored with a novel NR3C1 variant.

In this study, BCC therapy reduced oxidative stress and cell damage in cardiomyocyte cells, suggesting it may serve as a new treatment alternative for heart disease.

This study found that magnesium deficiency in rats led to elevated diastolic blood pressure and altered vascular responses, although the mechanisms remain unclear.

This study reported that among obese women with PCOS, neither early time-restricted eating (eTRE) alone nor combined with probiotics showed significant improvements in blood pressure, inflammatory markers, oxidative stress, or antioxidant capacity compared to a standard reduced-calorie diet.

In this study, researchers observed that Finasteride improved cardiac function by enhancing antioxidant levels and reducing oxidative stress in obese and aging rats, though it did not benefit metabolic status and induced insulin resistance in normal diet-fed rats.

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.

Transgender women have similar fitness to cisgender women, while transgender men have higher fat and lower strength than cisgender men; hormone therapy affects body composition and strength.

This article discusses the considerations and challenges surrounding a proposed large-scale trial on testosterone-replacement therapy in older men and reports no new results.

In this case report, a 40-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus developed Type B Insulin Resistance Syndrome, characterized by severe hyperglycemia despite high insulin doses, requiring immunosuppressive therapy to manage refractory symptoms.

This review examines the development, pathogenesis, and effects of insulin resistance, highlighting its connections to numerous health conditions, without presenting new research findings.

This article reviews the potential of inhalation therapy to restore pulmonary elastin fibers in COPD patients and highlights the need for studies to test its feasibility; it reports no new research findings.

This study describes a case of vitamin D resistant rickets in a young girl due to end organ unresponsiveness, highlighting a possible new subtype of the disorder with distinct clinical features.

This review explores whether oligomenorrhoea in exercising women is a mild subclinical phenotype of PCOS or part of a spectrum of energy deficiency-related menstrual disturbances, without new clinical results.

This study found that testosterone therapy improved physical performance, strength, lean body mass, and serum cholesterol in older men with low testosterone levels, with or without the addition of finasteride.

This study demonstrates that warming hands can restore normal blood flow in patients with systemic sclerosis, making their response to cooling similar to that of healthy controls.

Psoriasis patients should do moderate exercise like walking or yoga for 30 minutes, 4-5 times a week.

Hair care practices and concerns about maintaining hairstyles can reduce how often African American women exercise.

In this study, bezafibrate treatment improved certain aging-like features in a mouse model with mitochondrial dysfunction, but did not enhance muscle function or lifespan.

This case report demonstrates that physical activity, possibly enhanced by social support and motivation from a relationship, may improve menstrual regularity and insulin resistance in a woman with polycystic ovary syndrome, even during a placebo period.

In this study conducted at the Royal Care Center in Tanta, Egypt, eight women aged 35 to 45 with supraspinatus tendonitis received platelet-rich plasma injections, but specific results of this intervention were not reported.

This study found that men with early-onset androgenic alopecia are less responsive to the cardiometabolic effects of bromocriptine compared to men with normal hair growth.

This study concluded that repeated platelet-rich plasma injections provided greater and more consistent improvements in stress urinary incontinence symptoms compared to pelvic floor muscle training.

Minoxidil with propranolol and diuretics lowers blood pressure but causes fluid retention and hair growth.

This study found that certain fatty acids and triterpenoid-glycosides from Eclipta prostrata L. leaves exhibit potent inhibitory effects on the protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B enzyme, suggesting potential anti-diabetic and anti-obesity benefits.

This study observed that a 24-hour pre-treatment with MitoQ significantly protected H9c2 myoblasts from doxorubicin-induced damage while enhancing doxorubicin's effectiveness in prostate cancer cells, outperforming dexrazoxane's effects without compromising the anti-cancer efficacy.

This study found that long-term minoxidil treatment, despite improving hemodynamics and left ventricular function, was associated with more frequent clinical events and a poorer clinical course in patients with chronic left ventricular failure.
