In this study, women with polycystic ovary syndrome showed significantly higher levels of DHEA, IL-6, and TNF-α compared to healthy controls, indicating a possible link between these biomarkers and PCOS.

In this study, 15d-PGJ2 administered in a topical cream inhibited oxidative and inflammatory skin changes caused by UVB radiation in hairless mice, suggesting it as a promising treatment approach.

This study found that 5‐α‐reductase inhibitors reduce the risk of being diagnosed with prostate cancer in men who undergo regular screening, but increase the risk of sexual and erectile dysfunction.

This review discusses the efficacy and safety of 5-alpha reductase inhibitors for treating androgenetic alopecia, noting concerns about sexual side effects, which are typically uncommon and often resolve over time.

This review summarized existing research on finasteride and erectile dysfunction, finding a correlation between finasteride use for benign prostatic hyperplasia and ED, but not strongly for male androgenetic alopecia.

This study found that dutasteride use is associated with increased reports of sexual dysfunction, based on data from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System.

This study found that participants with normal hemoglobin but low ferritin experienced significantly more symptoms like restless leg syndrome, dizziness, and shortness of breath compared to those with normal ferritin.

This review discusses persistent adverse effects of 5α‐reductase inhibitors, like diminished libido and erectile dysfunction, in some patients and highlights the need for patient discussions before therapy, especially for androgenetic alopecia.

New treatments for male hypogonadism are effective and should be personalized.

This study identifies six novel keratin genes from the chromosome 17q21.2 region, suggesting their association with hair follicles, while all 27 keratin genes in the domain have been characterized transcriptionally.

This study found that longer exposure to 5α-reductase inhibitors significantly increased the risk of persistent erectile dysfunction, especially in younger men exposed to finasteride.

This article proposes criteria to differentiate between medicalization and over-medicalization, examining the consequences and ethical considerations of misidentifying medical issues, and suggests guideline questions to help draw clearer boundaries in medicine.

This review discusses the use of contact sensitizers for topical immunotherapy in dermatological conditions such as alopecia areata and viral warts, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This report describes a study of estuarine bed-sediment quality in New Jersey and New York post-Hurricane Sandy, focusing on contamination extent and potential long-term impacts, with no new findings included.

This review suggests that while finasteride for male pattern hair loss was previously considered safe, there is now evidence associating 5-α reductase inhibitors with significant sexual and reproductive side effects.

This study found that co-administering glucocorticoids with 5α-reductase inhibitors exacerbated the adverse metabolic effects of glucocorticoids in healthy men.

This review covers nonsteroid-based therapies for alopecia areata, finding potential in PRP, UVR, and laser treatments, but highlights a lack of high-quality evidence for their efficacy.

This review discusses post-finasteride syndrome, emphasizing its serious psychological and cognitive symptoms and the need for more research and awareness in the medical community, but provides no new clinical findings.

This study found that finasteride use was associated with significantly higher odds of obstructive sleep apnea and insomnia compared to other medications.

This study assessed the potential for Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion power in Fiji, finding higher power output and efficiency during summer due to greater temperature differences between surface and deep sea waters.

In this study, researchers documented the use of 69 plant species across 38 families in traditional medicine by herbal practitioners in Raichur District, detailing their therapeutic properties for 22 ailments such as fever, epilepsy, and diabetes, though interest in traditional practices is declining.

This review supports iron deficiency anemia as a valid cause of chronic generalized pruritus and suggests potential mechanisms by which iron deficiency may lead to pruritus, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the link between polycystic ovary syndrome and sleep problems, primarily obstructive sleep apnea, and calls for more research on other sleep disturbances in affected women and adolescent girls.

This review explores traditional Ayurvedic methods in Bhela Samhita for assessing health through physical parameters, and calls for further research to validate these practices.

This article discusses the role of hyperarousal and brain activity in insomnia and its potential link to sleep disturbances in depression, but it reports no new empirical findings.

In this study, researchers identified a gene regulatory network in Arabidopsis that controls root hair growth under low-temperature conditions, revealing specific transcription factors and downstream targets that contribute to this growth response despite overall plant development being halted.

This study found that keratin-75, discovered in enamel tissue, is secreted by ameloblasts using an unconventional pathway involving the ER-Golgi-Intermediate-Compartment and Golgi, differing from typical cytokeratin localization.
