This abstract provides definitions and descriptions of various medical and scientific terms but reports no new research findings.

This study found that sulfur mustard affects hair follicles and sebaceous glands in the skin by causing cellular damage, inflammation, and disrupting wound healing processes in hairless mice.

This study found that asthma and high testosterone levels were linked to more severe COVID-19 and higher mortality, while progesterone appeared to offer protective effects in pre-menopausal women.

This study evaluated a polyherbal shampoo with pomegranate peel and activated charcoal, finding it offered good cleansing ability, stable foam, and scalp-friendly pH without causing irritation, suggesting it may be a safe and effective alternative to synthetic shampoos for pollution-related hair protection.

In this case report and literature review, researchers observed that black hairy tongue syndrome can be improved by dietary restrictions and local care, identifying factors like antibiotics, malignancies, and certain medications as common triggers, with resolution achieved by eliminating these factors when possible.

This review discusses non-motor symptoms in patients with thymoma-associated myasthenia gravis, suggesting these symptoms, which can be treatable, often go overlooked despite affecting multiple organs.

This meta-analysis found that lower serum SHBG levels are associated with an increased risk of PCOS, and improving SHBG levels through treatment may reduce PCOS complications.

This review highlights the connection between sex hormones and metabolic dysfunction, emphasizing how conditions like male hypogonadism and female hyperandrogenism can increase the risk and severity of hepatic steatosis, which often progresses alongside metabolic syndrome and elevates mortality risks.

This article reports no new data; it describes the role of sebum in influencing the skin microbiome and epithelial tissues and discusses its altered composition during transit through the sebaceous duct.

This review discusses the potential impact of volatile organic compound exposure on the onset and progression of autoimmune diseases and reports no new experimental findings.

The researchers in this experimental study developed a thermodynamic model using the Peng-Robinson equation of state to optimize gas antisolvent system conditions for controlling finasteride particle size, aiming to reduce experimental trials and precisely identify precipitation pressures across different temperatures.

This study found that COVID-19 had more severe outcomes in asthmatic patients, with increased ICU admissions and oxygen needs, particularly when asthma control was poor.

This study found that androgens decreased splenic macrophage FcgammaR expression and impaired the clearance of IgG-coated cells in an experimental guinea pig model.

This review summarizes evidence suggesting that smoking is associated with alopecia and premature hair graying, with smokers showing higher prevalence than nonsmokers.

This review highlights the importance of standardizing pre-analytical procedures for collecting and extracting samples from uncommon biological specimens like breast milk and sweat in clinical metabolomics, to enhance diagnostic and biomarker discovery efforts while minimizing contamination and bias.

This review highlights the significant risks posed by mercury to the endocrine system, including disruptions in hormone synthesis and regulation, stress response, and potential reproductive dysfunction, while noting the need for further research on dose-response relationships and long-term impacts.

This study demonstrated that RNA-seq can effectively expand hair follicle transcriptomic profiling in a multi-center study, offering deeper insights than blood transcriptomics alone.

Poor air quality increases the risk of atopic dermatitis in Taiwan.

This study developed and validated a Gas Chromatography-Flame Ionization Detection method for assessing minoxidil, which shows good precision, accuracy, and specificity for quality control and pharmacokinetic studies.

This study found that monitoring endogenous steroid metabolites in serum may improve the detection of testosterone doping by highlighting promising biomarkers.

This case study reported that endotracheal hair growth following tracheal restructuring with an autograft was associated with cigarette smoking, and was ultimately stopped by argon plasma laser-coagulation and smoking cessation.

This letter to the editor discusses data from a study on troglitazone for lipodystrophy, noting significant increases in subcutaneous fat without dietary changes.

This study found that the developed Finasteride-loaded SMEDDS improved the relative bioavailability of the drug compared to a commercial tablet, offering a promising oral delivery system for glucosteroid analogs.

This study found that exposure to aqueous dispersion resin in aerosol form increased lung weights and caused histopathological changes in animals at higher concentrations, with a no-observable-effect level at 30 mg/m³.

In this case report, a 1.5-year-old Pomeranian named Beb with respiratory and skin issues was diagnosed with pneumonia and demodecosis; following a two-week treatment including antibiotics, ivermectin, and supportive care, Beb's symptoms resolved, and hair regrowth was observed.

This cross-meta-analysis examined policosanol biorefining methods in 18 Ibero-American countries, reporting that Cuba, Spain, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, and Portugal show significant advances, but highlighted the need for better coordination between academia and industry for improved yield efficiency.

This study evaluated a polyherbal shampoo enriched with pomegranate peel extract, reporting good cleansing ability, stable foam, scalp-friendly pH, and no irritation, suggesting it could be a safe, effective alternative for protecting hair from pollution-related damage.

This study found that in young Taiwanese women with PCOS, low sex hormone-binding globulin levels were associated with low HDL cholesterol levels, independent of insulin resistance and obesity.
