This letter discusses the emergence of the dermatology hospitalist model and reports no new clinical outcomes; single institution studies suggest these services may enhance diagnostic accuracy and decrease readmissions.

In this retrospective cohort study, researchers found that Taiwanese mothers with atopic dermatitis had a higher risk of various pregnancy complications and that their children were more likely to develop certain conditions like AD, asthma, and ADHD, compared to non-AD mothers and their children.

This study found that elevated 1-hour plasma glucose in women with PCOS was associated with increased risk of metabolic disorders and gestational diabetes, indicating it may be a useful marker for adverse metabolic status.

Men with early balding may have a higher risk of prostate issues, and surgery for prostate cancer has a slight survival benefit over radiation.

The authors concluded that while finasteride 1 mg affects prostate-related pathways, evidence is insufficient to prove clinical benefits for prostate outcomes compared to the established effectiveness of finasteride 5 mg.

This Swedish cohort study found no association between the use of anti-androgenic 5α-reductase inhibitors and improved 5-year all-cause or disease-specific mortality in oesophago-gastric cancer patients, challenging the hypothesis that these drugs enhance survival outcomes.

In this retrospective cohort study, researchers found that Taiwanese mothers with atopic dermatitis face higher risks of various pregnancy complications, such as premature labor and preeclampsia, while their children have increased risks of conditions like asthma and ADHD compared to mothers without atopic dermatitis.

In this study, the researchers found that worse sleep scores were associated with progression of lower urinary tract symptoms and suggestively linked to their development in asymptomatic men.

In this case study, a 69-year-old woman with severe hypercortisolism developed acute adrenal insufficiency after starting ketoconazole treatment, highlighting the need for cautious dosing and close monitoring of adrenal function, particularly in patients with prior glucocorticoid exposure.

This study found that JAK inhibitor treatment in patients with alopecia areata was associated with a lower incidence of major depressive disorder and decreased antidepressant usage.

This review suggests that finasteride at 1 mg/day reduces PSA levels similarly to 5 mg/day, but differences in prostate dihydrotestosterone levels may affect prostate cancer diagnosis and prevention.

This study found that in Chinese women with PCOS, pretreatment with ethinylestradiol/cyproterone acetate was associated with a lower risk of gestational diabetes, pregnancy-induced hypertension, and premature delivery compared to those without pretreatment.

This study in the UAE found that approximately 49% of previously hospitalized COVID-19 patients experienced Long COVID, which was linked to worsened self-perceived health and functional limitations; risk factors included female sex, intensive care needs, multiple comorbidities, and numerous initial symptoms.

Among a Han Chinese cohort, this study found that a higher genetic risk score was linked to increased susceptibility to BPH, larger prostate size, reduced effectiveness of 5ARI treatment, and a higher risk of undergoing TURP.

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.

In this study, infants born to mothers with alopecia areata had a higher risk of adverse birth outcomes, including preterm birth, low birth weight, Caesarean section, and congenital malformations.

This review explores how sex differences influence the pathophysiology, incidence, and treatment outcomes of ischaemic heart disease, and emphasizes the need for more sex-specific research.

In this prospective cohort, baseline severity, disease activity, and relapse history were identified as key factors influencing response and recurrence in alopecia areata, suggesting that implementing standardized assessments could enhance risk stratification and personalized care approaches.

This source highlights the potential benefits of identifying risk factors and intervening early to mitigate acne scarring and improve quality of life. It also emphasizes the importance of recognizing acne severity predictors to guide preventive strategies and optimize patient outcomes.

This study in Tehran found that, after adjusting for confounders, women with PCOS had no different risk of non-pregnancy after assisted reproductive treatment compared to women without PCOS.

This study found that genetic risk factors for PCOS are linked to increased body mass index and earlier developmental milestones in childhood, indicating that PCOS may affect both sexes from early life.

Regular follow-up visits, especially with dermatologists, can lower death rates for melanoma patients, with socioeconomic factors also affecting outcomes.

This study found that melanoma on the posterior scalp is associated with worse survival compared to other body sites, while sun-exposed areas showed better survival outcomes.

This meta-analysis reports that 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors are associated with a 31% increased risk of depression, with varying outcomes depending on the comparator group, highlighting significant heterogeneity across studies.

In a systematic review and meta-analysis, the researchers found that intralesional triamcinolone acetonide was more effective than cryotherapy for achieving significant hair regrowth in patients with patchy alopecia areata, although both treatments had distinct safety profiles.

This study found that tamsulosin, finasteride use, and aging are significantly associated with increased risk of intraoperative floppy iris syndrome during cataract surgery, while doxazosin does not appear to pose this risk.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome had a higher risk of fractures, including osteoporotic and specific types like spine and forearm fractures, compared to those without the condition.

This study found that glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist therapy was independently associated with an increased incidence of non-scarring hair loss, including telogen effluvium and androgenic alopecia, in adults but not alopecia areata.

This study found a strong dose-related increase in the risk of intracranial meningiomas associated with high doses of cyproterone acetate, with some reduction in risk after stopping the treatment.

This systematic review suggests that current evidence does not support routinely discontinuing gender-affirming hormone treatments before surgery, especially testosterone and spironolactone, due to limited data on related perioperative risks.
