This article reviews the history and impacts of direct-to-consumer advertising of prescription drugs in the U.S. and reports no new research findings; it discusses implications for health policy debates.

This study found that microwave-assisted Opuntia humifusa extract improved antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties to counteract particulate matter's harmful effects on HaCaT keratinocytes.

This study established an androgen-responsive human organ culture model using hair follicles, demonstrating that women's intermediate facial follicles grow more hair in response to men's higher androgen levels.

The study found that social isolation in mice increases the sensitivity of their hippocampal synapses to ethanol's inhibitory effects on long-term potentiation, an effect preventable by finasteride.

This study found that sampling hair for cortisol analysis in mother-toddler dyads living in low-income U.S. homes is feasible, with 66% of approached dyads participating.

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.

This paper highlights the distribution and potential economic and medicinal values of aquatic macrophytes in northern Bihar's wetlands, emphasizing their importance to local livelihoods and the risks of habitat degradation.

This review discusses the regulations and clinical safety aspects of hair care cosmetics, highlighting the FDA's recommendation to evaluate these products for allergic reactions, avoid contamination, and include antimicrobial agents to ensure consumer safety, with ongoing monitoring through consumer feedback.

This joint consensus statement from several Polish professional associations discusses strategies for improving obesity treatment and enhancing primary care's role in managing obesity, with no new empirical data reported.

This study found that finasteride treatment of male rats led to changes in their male offspring's testicular gene expression, potentially affecting sperm function in response to odorant-like signals.
