This study found that salivary testosterone levels were significantly lower in oligospermic and azoospermic men compared to normal men, suggesting its potential use in assessing male androgen status.

This study reported that 12% of female Qassim University students had been diagnosed with PCOS, with misconceptions about the condition and treatments observed despite high awareness.

This study found that in Asian patients aged 12 and older with alopecia areata and significant hair loss, ritlecitinib showed clinical efficacy in improving hair regrowth and eyebrow and eyelash scores over 48 weeks, with an acceptable safety profile observed throughout.

This review explores whether SARS-CoV-2 could trigger or worsen α-synucleinopathies, like Parkinson's disease, by affecting α-synuclein misfolding and aggregation, potentially linking COVID-19 with the development of parkinsonism-like symptoms.

In this study, using a 15-day regimen combining a scalp scrub and serum significantly improved dandruff and scalp health in participants, reducing flaking, increasing hair density and thickness, and enhancing hydration and overall scalp appearance.

In this prospective phase II clinical trial, researchers are investigating whether adding dutasteride to combined androgen blockade can improve the response rate and clinical outcomes for patients with androgen receptor-positive recurrent or metastatic salivary duct carcinoma.

This study reports that adding androgen deprivation therapy to salvage radiation therapy for patients with non-metastatic biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy improves progression-free survival, particularly in those with higher post-prostatectomy PSA levels.

In this study, the authors reported that Sargassum wightii seaweed-based biostimulants improved soil quality and enhanced rice plant growth and yield by ameliorating acid soil effects, boosting antioxidant enzyme activity, and facilitating nitrogen uptake, photosynthesis, and water use efficiency.

In this retrospective cohort study, researchers reported that 77% of 300 COVID-19 survivors experienced long COVID-19 symptoms such as fatigue and hair loss, with symptoms more likely in females, younger age groups, and hospitalized patients.

In this study, ritlecitinib, an oral JAK3/TEC inhibitor, was evaluated for safety in patients aged 12 and older with alopecia areata across four clinical trials up to 36 months, showing a safety profile with reported adverse events and lab abnormalities summarized per dosing groups.

This study found that JAK inhibitors effectively improve alopecia areata outcomes, as indicated by SALT scores, but they were associated with an increased risk of adverse effects, with 921 out of 1508 patients experiencing adverse reactions.
