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.

This case study describes a 45-year-old male with black hairy tongue who experienced complete resolution of tongue discoloration and improved halitosis after receiving treatment focused on enhanced oral hygiene, tongue brushing, and smoking cessation.

This study quantified around 60 organic pollutants in hair samples from mothers and infants in Spain, finding significant correlations between pollutant levels and factors like residence, dietary habits, and maternal age, with common exposure sources identified for several pollutant classes.

This study found that among bodybuilder-intended drugs from the black market, 33.8% of labeled products and 52.5% of steroidal oily solutions contained ingredients not matching their labels.

In this study, researchers characterized a dehydroepiandrosterone hydroxylating enzyme system in hair follicles similar to the liver monooxygenase system, noting its inhibition by carbon monoxide and its dependence on NADPH.

This dissertation investigates how environmental exposures, such as air pollution and endocrine disruptors, impact women's reproductive and gynecological health throughout life, highlighting associations with earlier menarche, decreased ovarian reserve, and increased PCOS risk, and emphasizing healthcare system shortcomings in properly diagnosing these conditions.

In this case report, mogamulizumab treatment for Sézary syndrome was associated with rashes and alopecia in a patient, highlighting the potential for immune-mediated side effects and suggesting that such adverse effects might indicate a favorable prognosis, though further studies are needed.

This study suggests that particulate matter can induce inflammation in human outer root sheath cells, potentially affecting hair growth, through oxidative stress-dependent MAPK and JAK-STAT signaling pathways.

This review discusses the challenges in diagnosing and managing asthma in older adults and reports no new results; the authors emphasize the importance of addressing comorbidities and potential medication adverse events.

This study found that GAGS scores for acne were higher in younger women with PCOS and a lower BMI, but showed no association with levels of androgen hormones.

In this study, distinct androgen excess subtypes were identified in women with PCOS, with the adrenal androgen excess cluster showing significantly higher rates of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, suggesting 11-oxygenated androgens as potential drivers of metabolic risk.

This study found that Minoxidil can interfere with hair drug analysis for cocaine by producing peaks that obscure the detection of cocaine and its metabolites in chromatograms.

This review discusses various environmental pollutants and their potential role in promoting mitochondrial dysfunction, which may contribute to aging-related diseases, cancer, and other adverse health outcomes, but reports no new experimental results.

This article discusses how lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from gram-negative bacteria activates platelets and affects vascular responses, emphasizing the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in these processes, without reporting new experimental findings.

This study highlights the prevalence of photographic bias in before-and-after images in dermatology, emphasizing how factors like lighting and camera angles can mislead patients and influence expectations, often leading to dissatisfaction and unrealistic aesthetic standards.

This study proposed a method to determine residual levels of dichloromethane and chloroform in finasteride using SPME-GC, reporting high linear correlation coefficients for both solvents.

This study found that current clinical, microscopic, and laboratory analyses did not reliably distinguish Alaskan malamutes with coat funk from normal dogs, indicating more research with larger samples is needed.

The researchers monitored various pollutants in real cosmetics industry wastewater and reported high removal efficiencies for parameters like Chemical Oxygen Demand and heavy metals through coagulation-flocculation, yet suggested that more effective COD treatment alternatives are necessary to better protect the environment and human health.

This study found that men who smoke are more likely to develop androgenetic alopecia and experience disease progression compared to non-smokers.

This article discusses Dr. Jane Hightower's findings on mercury poisoning linked to fish consumption in patients and reports no new clinical results; it highlights ongoing debate and regulatory actions.

This paper details a method for measuring testosterone metabolism into seven androgens using digital autoradiography, which offers high sensitivity and reduces the need for radioactive materials.

This study observed that Taiwanese men aged 40–91 who smoked 20 or more cigarettes daily had a higher incidence of moderate to severe androgenetic alopecia.

This study observed that tributyltin pollution induces imposex, reduces reproductive success, and leads to population decline in Ocinebrina aciculata, highlighting its sensitivity compared to other prosobranch species.

This article discusses the Guidelines Project by the Brazilian Medical Association, which aims to standardize medical practices and improve doctors' decision-making, but reports no new study results.

This study confirmed significant and dramatic ophthalmic and mucocutaneous sequelae from Stevens-Johnson and Lyell syndromes in Morocco, affecting the social and professional integration of mostly young patients.

This piece discusses the conditions of three children with disparate symptoms—suggesting silent aspiration, exogenous androgen exposure, and long QT syndrome—and emphasizes comprehensive assessment and history for correct diagnosis and management.

This study found that a three-month regimen of leucoselect phytosome, a grape seed extract complex, was well tolerated and significantly reduced bronchial proliferation markers in heavy active and former smokers.

This publication discusses the 2021 ESC Guidelines for the prevention of cardiovascular disease in clinical practice and reports no new results.

In this study, researchers observed that TCDD exposure in mice enhanced sebaceous gland differentiation and lipid production before causing seboatrophy, providing insights into the cellular events that may contribute to chloracne pathogenesis.
