A thorough initial check-up is essential before sperm banking to ensure the best chance of preserving good quality sperm.

This review suggests that finasteride at 1 mg/day reduces PSA levels similarly to 5 mg/day, but differences in prostate dihydrotestosterone levels may affect prostate cancer diagnosis and prevention.

The document explains how certain drugs block hormones to treat cancers like breast and prostate cancer.

This study established a pluripotent stem cell line from a patient with androgenetic alopecia, which can potentially be used to study the disease's pathological mechanisms.

This review discusses medical and surgical therapies for alopecias in Black women, focusing on the impact of hair-care practices and the importance of patient education, but reports no new clinical results.

This protocol outlines a planned Cochrane Review to evaluate the effects of 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors on lower urinary tract symptoms caused by benign prostatic obstruction, and it reports no new findings.

This study found that a combination of topical and oral treatment led to greater improvements in hair density, thickness, and anagen/telogen ratio in patients with androgenetic alopecia compared to topical treatment alone, with significant benefits observed over a 3-month period.

Vitamin D and zinc may help treat alopecia areata.

This study reported that a 10-week course of clindamycin and rifampicin was commonly used for treating folliculitis decalvans but the evidence on its efficacy remains inconclusive due to the low quality of available studies.

This study concluded that mixtures of weak endocrine disruptors, such as parabens and azole fungicides, can produce combination effects that should be considered in regulatory risk assessments to avoid underestimating potential risks.

This review highlights that scalp pruritus is a complex condition with various underlying causes, making it a challenge to diagnose and manage effectively. It emphasizes the need for comprehensive patient evaluation, history-taking, and personalized treatment strategies to address quality of life impacts.

This study found that children with pituitary dwarfism had higher zinc and copper hair concentrations and lower manganese concentrations compared to healthy children.

Spironolactone is effective for treating female hair loss, with new treatments like clascoterone showing promise.

This study found that various dietary supplements positively impacted hair density and were well-tolerated among patients with androgenetic alopecia, suggesting they may be useful adjuncts or alternatives to standard treatments.

This study reports that using a hydrogel-based therapy that dynamically regulates reactive oxygen species helps achieve skin regeneration in infected wounds, promoting organized dermal architecture with improved hair follicle and blood vessel formation, rather than scar formation.

This review discusses the pathophysiology, diagnosis, management, and psychosocial impact of skin manifestations in PCOS and emphasizes the need for holistic, personalized care without reporting new results.

This article explores the role of ketoconazole shampoo in hair care beyond treating dandruff and seborrhoeic dermatitis, suggesting it may reduce hair shedding and chronic scalp inflammation, potentially complementing treatments for androgenetic alopecia.

This systematic review found no consistent evidence supporting the effectiveness of biotin supplementation for alopecia treatment unless there is a documented deficiency.

This study found that a combination of probiotic strains of Lactiplantibacillus administered over 16 weeks reduced the number and density of telogen hairs in individuals with androgenic alopecia, while increasing the abundance of Lactobacillus in their gut microbiota.

This study reported that selenium supplements do not reduce cancer risk and may increase the risk of type 2 diabetes and high-grade prostate cancer, while observational studies suggest mixed associations between selenium exposure and cancer incidence.

This study identified that high concentrations of selenium in a liquid dietary supplement caused a widespread outbreak of poisoning, revealing the importance of stricter manufacturing standards.

This review discusses the various adverse health effects of chronic selenium exposure in humans, including effects on endocrine and immune function, and suggests current exposure limits may be insufficient.

This study reports that selenium deficiency in children on long-term total parenteral nutrition may lead to symptoms like erythrocyte macrocytosis and skin and hair depigmentation, which improved with selenium supplementation.

This study observed that the intestinal absorption of selenium varies depending on its chemical form, with selenomethionine being absorbed efficiently and selenium as selenodiglutathione or selenodicysteine being absorbed faster than selenite.

This review concludes that although observational studies suggest a potential inverse association between selenium exposure and cancer risk, randomized trials show no convincing evidence that selenium supplements prevent cancer in humans and may indicate harmful effects.
