This study evaluated the effectiveness of follicular units and growth factors derived from autologous platelet-rich plasma in improving hair growth and density in 23 male patients with pattern hair loss.

This review discusses different clinical forms, laboratory tests, and treatments for female androgenetic alopecia and reports no new results; it emphasizes the importance of proper management.

This study examined skin biopsies from a woman with Addison disease and found melanocytic hyperpigmentation in the epidermis, with a notable melanocyte/keratinocyte ratio indicating increased melanocyte presence in the arm compared to the thigh.

This study evaluated the Spanish version of the Hair Specific Skindex-29 questionnaire and found it sensitive to changes in health-related quality of life among women with female-pattern hair loss.

In this study, the researchers noted that approximately 15% of hair transplant procedures are performed on women, with candidacy being determined by specific anatomical conditions and hair loss types, such as medium-stage androgenetic alopecia or a high frontal hairline.

This report describes a rare case of elevated serum DHEAS levels in a postmenopausal woman, linked to an ovarian sex cord-stromal tumor rather than the adrenal glands, challenging common assumptions about androgen sources.

In this study, researchers highlight the role of androgens like dihydrotestosterone in the pathophysiology of acne, pointing to the enzyme 5a-reductase type 1 as potentially more active in individuals with acne, which may contribute to hormonal influences in the condition's development.

This article describes psycho-emotional disorders in patients with androgenetic alopecia and emphasizes the importance of identifying these conditions to improve medical care, without providing new experimental results.

This article discusses distinguishing features of Diffuse Alopecia Areata and Fibrosing Alopecia in a Pattern Distribution, but reports no new clinical results.

Spironolactone is safe for treating hair loss in women without causing low blood pressure.

This review discusses the impact of performance-enhancing substances, like androgenic steroids, on female athletes, particularly focusing on female pattern hair loss and associated physical and psychosocial issues, and highlights the need for further research.

This case report details a diagnostic challenge in a postmenopausal woman with severe hyperandrogenism where distinguishing between adrenal and ovarian causes was complicated by elevated 17-OH Progesterone and asymmetric ovarian enlargement; pending surgical pathology is expected to guide further management.

This study examined hair follicles from 14 Caucasian males and found that catagen-phase follicles were more prevalent (7.5%) than previously reported, challenging the established view that telogen-phase follicles are more common.

This abstract highlights that female androgenetic alopecia affects a significant portion of both premenopausal and postmenopausal women, causing considerable psychological distress, yet there are limited treatment options available. Results are not reported.

This integrative literature review suggests that phytotherapeutic products, like Saw palmetto and Green tea, could serve as viable alternatives to current medications like finasteride for treating androgenetic alopecia, potentially offering fewer side effects.

This article discusses the role of androgens in androgenetic alopecia and suggests exploring additional causes and pathways involved, but reports no new clinical findings.

In this randomized controlled trial, researchers found that participants with androgenic alopecia taking an Annurca apple extract supplement showed significant increases in hair density and weight and reduced hair loss compared to a placebo, with good skin and gastrointestinal tolerability over 180 days.

In this study, herbal extract mixtures applied to mice accelerated hair regrowth compared to a control group, suggesting potential hair-growing properties.

This study found that caffeine stimulated hair follicle growth in an ex vivo model of androgenetic alopecia, counteracting testosterone-induced suppression in male patient samples.

This observational study found that 37% of male patients with androgenetic alopecia had a history of preceding COVID-19 infection, suggesting a potential link between the two.

This study suggests that a high frequency of androgenetic alopecia is associated with increased severity of COVID-19 in hospitalized patients.

This case report describes a 54-year-old female erroneously treated for androgenetic alopecia with no improvement, later diagnosed with alopecia areata incognito through histopathological evaluation and appropriately treated.

This article evaluates clinical and scientific literature on post-finasteride syndrome, concluding that finasteride and dutasteride may cause persistent sexual, neurological, and physical adverse side effects in a subset of men.

This article provides an interview with Felix Brockschmidt about his award-winning work on the genetics of male pattern androgenetic alopecia, focusing on the androgen receptor and findings on chromosome 20p11, and reports no new experimental results.

This study found that RSL4 in Arabidopsis thaliana regulates genes necessary for root hair elongation by controlling proteins involved in cell signaling, cell wall modification, and secretion.

This review discusses hirsutism in women with PCOS who present with normal androgen levels and highlights diagnostic challenges, reporting no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the role of elevated androgens in the skin-related symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome, such as acne and hirsutism, and provides insights into the mechanisms behind these manifestations to inform effective treatment strategies.

In this retrospective review, the author discusses key discoveries in understanding androgen excess disorders like PCOS, focusing on genetic and molecular insights gained from 1965 to 2015.

The document discusses male and female pattern hair loss, its diagnosis methods, FDA-approved treatments like finasteride and minoxidil, their side effects, and the role of lifestyle changes.
