In this study, a high prevalence of anabolic-androgenic steroid use was observed among bodybuilding athletes in Sergipe, Brazil, regardless of their socioeconomic backgrounds, highlighting the need for increased awareness about the associated health risks.

This review discusses recent advancements in skin epigenetics, focusing on how epigenetic mechanisms regulate gene expression during normal skin function and their dysregulation in conditions like skin disorders and cancer, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that corticosteroids were the most common treatments for alopecia areata in the USA, but the substantial disease burden suggests a need for more effective options.

This review suggests that 308 nm excimer therapy may offer a well-tolerated non-pharmacologic option for alopecia areata, with more limited evidence for its effectiveness in lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia.

This review highlights that robot-assisted surgery is still in its early stages within plastic surgery, especially for aesthetic procedures, due to challenges like high costs, equipment bulkiness, and limited docking methods despite the precision advantages offered by such technology.

Oral dutasteride, minoxidil, and finasteride may help reduce hair loss in breast cancer survivors, but more research is needed.

This study found that reports of suicidal ideations linked to oral finasteride were significantly higher in 2013–2018 and 2019–2023 compared to 2006–2011, potentially due to increased awareness of post-finasteride syndrome from 2012 onward. No such signals were seen with oral dutasteride.
