This study found that Phyllanthus urinaria extract displayed significant anti-alopecia properties in a mouse model, showing potential as an anti-5α-reductase agent for androgenic hair loss.

In this study, researchers developed and tested an herbal antidandruff shampoo using plant extracts like neem, fenugreek seed, aloe vera, and clove, demonstrating antibacterial and antifungal activity against common scalp microbes and offering a potential natural alternative for dandruff treatment.

This study found that age, pre-pregnancy BMI, and family history of diabetes were independent predictors of gestational diabetes in Iranian women, with selective screening missing few cases among low-risk groups.

This article provides an overview of diagnosing Cushing's syndrome, emphasizing the importance of assessing clinical signs and the appropriate use of first-line biochemical screening.

Hair testing is a reliable method for detecting workplace drug use when done with proper sample preparation and confirmation.

This review discusses the prevalence and contributory factors of polycystic ovarian syndrome and reports no new clinical findings; the authors emphasize the importance of early detection through screening.

This study suggests that gender-affirming testosterone therapy in transgender men is generally safe and effective with adequate screening and monitoring, although high-quality long-term studies are lacking.

This study found that 19.5% of young girls screened using the Rotterdam criteria were diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome, highlighting the importance of early screening and intervention.

Finasteride lowers PSA levels in men, certain factors increase testicular cancer risk, and current guidelines for penile cancer may lead to unnecessary surgeries.

In this study, patients with telogen effluvium had significantly lower levels of haemoglobin, hematocrit, and serum ferritin compared to healthy controls.

This study found that men with Cushing syndrome often experience significant hypogonadism, with 65% reporting reduced libido and erectile dysfunction, indicating a need for screening in those with gynecomastia or hypogonadism.

This study observed a significant association between antigliadin antibodies (IgA and IgG) and alopecia areata severity, suggesting that serological tests could help diagnose subclinical celiac disease in these patients, with IgA and IgG showing 100% sensitivity and specificity at specific cutoff points.

This study found that there is substantial variability in laboratory testing practices among dermatologists specializing in alopecia areata across the globe, indicating the need for renewed discussions around guidelines for such testing.

This study engineered a bioluminescent yeast strain responsive to androgenic chemicals, demonstrating rapid and sensitive detection suitable for high-throughput screening and environmental monitoring.

In this study, early-onset androgenetic alopecia in men was associated with a higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome and carotid atherosclerosis compared to controls, suggesting cardiovascular screening might be beneficial for this group.

In this study, the authors reported that depression and anxiety are more prevalent in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome compared to healthy women, reinforcing the need for routine mental health screening in this population.

In this study, the 40-MBR system was shown to enhance drug-screening efficiency by providing reliable, real-time monitoring of cell conditions in 3-D cultures compared to traditional methods.

This study analyzed screening data from 218 alopecia areata patients before starting Janus kinase inhibitors, revealing the importance of pre-treatment screening due to risks of infections like tuberculosis and hepatitis B, with 74.8% of patients proceeding to treatment in real-world settings.

Children with alopecia areata should only get thyroid screening if they have Down syndrome, a family history of thyroid disease, atopy, or signs of thyroid problems.

In men aged 40–60 years with androgenic alopecia, this study found that 1 mg/day finasteride reduced serum PSA concentrations by 40-50% after 48 weeks compared to placebo.

This case report highlights a novel NR5A1 gene variant associated with a severe 46,XY disorder of sex development, stressing the importance of genetic screening in similar cases.

This study found that certain non-dermatophytic moulds, specifically *Absidia* sp., *Cladosporium tenuissimum*, and *Aspergillus welwitschiae*, can cause skin symptoms such as discoloration and lesions in albino mice, suggesting potential virulence due to enzyme activity.

This study developed a DPC cell line by introducing mutant CDK4, Cyclin D1, and TERT, making it a promising tool to study downstream signaling pathways activated by testosterone in androgenetic alopecia.

In this study, researchers differentiated induced pluripotent stem cells into cells with dermal papilla-like properties, demonstrating their potential role in hair follicle bioengineering and drug testing for hair growth.

The researchers reported that shiitake mushroom, buckwheat, soybean, cypress, and seaweed fulvescens showed potential as safe and effective natural ingredients for scalp care and scaling due to their antioxidative and antimicrobial properties.

This review discusses the use of different biological samples, including hair, for drug testing and highlights the complexities and considerations involved in interpreting results; it reports no new findings.

This case study highlights the complexity of managing PCOS and its symptoms in transmen, suggesting hormonal fluctuations may lead to symptomatic relief with low dose estradiol.

This study found that several small molecule peptides based on thymosin β4 significantly promoted cell proliferation related to wound healing, angiogenesis, and hair growth more effectively than established positive controls.

Two new compounds were found that could promote hair growth as well or better than minoxidil.

This study reported that C. procera leaf extracts showed antifungal activity against several dermatophytes, with ethanol extracts demonstrating slightly greater efficacy than aqueous extracts.
