This review explores the role of the TMPRSS2 gene in facilitating SARS-CoV-2 infection and its potential as a therapeutic target in COVID-19 and other respiratory infections, highlighting challenges in developing selective inhibitors.

This review suggests that understanding the biological and molecular reasons for more severe COVID-19 in men, particularly those at risk for prostate cancer, could improve management of these patients, but reports no new results.

This study observed that cyclosporine, an immunosuppressive drug used in renal transplantation, can cause temporary hypertrichosis, with patients experiencing significant hair loss after discontinuing the medication.

This study found that among pediatric patients with alopecia areata, elevated eosinophilic hematological ratios were observed, suggesting these could serve as markers for disease exacerbation and the pathophysiology of the condition.

This case study describes a patient who developed mild eosinophilia and a skin rash after starting clozapine, which resolved without discontinuing the medication.

This retrospective cohort study found that patients using 5α-reductase inhibitors had reduced bladder cancer-related mortality compared to nonusers, with no significant effect on bladder cancer recurrence or upper tract urothelial carcinoma mortality.

This review assesses the current literature on COVID-19's effects on male sexual and reproductive health, highlighting significant research gaps and providing guidance for patient counseling.

In this study, 19.6% of COVID-19 vaccine recipients reported post-vaccination mucocutaneous effects, mostly mild and self-limiting; the reactions were similarly frequent for Covishield and Covaxin.

This study suggests that varicella-zoster virus infection in skin cells may play a role in segmental vitiligo's progression and depigmentation.

This study reported a significant relapse in alopecia areata among patients infected with COVID-19, possibly due to the infection's inflammatory response and stress from quarantine.

This article discusses pharmacologic treatments for male sexual offenders, focusing on reducing sexual drive through nonhormonal or hormonal means, but it reports no new clinical results.

The study found that the quality of cord blood units remains consistent before freezing and after thawing, indicating that attached tube segments reliably represent the graft's properties.

A kidney transplant patient on cyclosporin experienced unexpected severe hair loss, which improved with treatment adjustments.

This study found that veterans with obstructive sleep apnea were nearly twice as likely to develop herpes zoster compared to those without the condition.

This article discusses the reversibility of alopecia caused by chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that while a transscrotal testosterone patch increases serum testosterone levels in hypogonadal men with AIDS and weight loss, it does not improve weight, body cell mass, or quality of life.

This study describes the first reported case of a 37-year-old woman developing alopecia universalis after switching from rituximab to ocrelizumab for progressive multiple sclerosis, suggesting that ocrelizumab may trigger autoimmune reactions in immunocompromised patients.

This case report describes a female SLE patient with CNS involvement who developed an acute West Nile virus infection, highlighting the diagnostic challenges in differentiating infection from a disease flare in immunosuppressed individuals.

In this study, the use of 5 alpha reductase inhibitors was associated with an increased risk of dementia during the first two years of treatment, but the risk was not significant with longer exposure.

This study found that prophylactically administering amotosalen-treated allogeneic donor T cells at transplantation significantly improved immune reconstitution and protection against murine cytomegalovirus infection without inducing graft-versus-host disease.

This study documented an increased health care burden due to post-COVID conditions in the 6 months following the acute phase of infection, providing vital evidence for resource planning.

The researchers reported three cases where systemic lupus erythematosus appeared 4-6 weeks after mild COVID-19 in women, suggesting further studies are needed to explore this potential connection.

Non-white organ transplant patients have worse skin cancer outcomes due to later diagnosis and treatment.
