This article discusses defining criteria of social housing and proposes a new definition, without reporting new results.

This study observed that hair loss in captive rhesus macaques varies with season, sex, and housing conditions, and is significantly correlated with HPA axis activity as indicated by faecal cortisol metabolites.

This study reported species and demographic differences in alopecia rates among macaques, with the highest rates in pigtail macaques and noted age-related improvements in alopecia scores.

This study found no significant difference in hair cortisol concentrations between sows confined in farrowing crates and those in loose-housing systems, suggesting confinement may not affect chronic stress levels.

This study highlights the importance of understanding the biology and social behavior of Old World monkeys in biomedical research, noting that improper housing can lead to stress-related behaviors that may impact research outcomes.

In this case study, scurvy was diagnosed in a middle-aged man on hemodialysis with food insecurity and undetectable vitamin C levels, highlighting the diverse risk factors and persistent challenges in managing vitamin C deficiency among patients with complex medical and social issues.

This study found that social hair plucking in captive rhesus macaques is linked to alopecia and possibly relates to stress in females.

The researchers reported that alopecia is common in Japanese macaques, particularly adult females, and varies seasonally and between different populations, with a new scoring system proposed for monitoring.

The study found that social isolation in mice increases the sensitivity of their hippocampal synapses to ethanol's inhibitory effects on long-term potentiation, an effect preventable by finasteride.

This study found significant differences in alopecia rates among rhesus macaques based on their previous housing facilities, suggesting that factors beyond current environment may influence alopecia.

This study found that male 5α-reductase 2 knockout mice showed deficits in social dominance behaviors and reduced dopamine receptor binding in a brain region related to social ranking.

Global oil use will rise, US corn-to-ethanol policy is flawed, and various social and economic issues need attention.

This article discusses the inequalities in COVID-19 outcomes affecting vulnerable groups in the UK and calls for more inclusive global pandemic strategies, but presents no new empirical data.

This review discusses various biologics for hair aging but reports no agent capable of reversing the natural aging process of hair.

This study found no significant difference in hair cortisol concentrations, a chronic stress indicator, between sows in farrowing crates and those in loose-housing systems.

This scoping review examined biopsychosocial markers associated with identifying as an involuntary celibate (incel), highlighting physical appearance perceptions, mental health challenges, and social victimization experiences, and suggesting tailored prevention strategies.

This study found that shea butter is the most used plant among women in Tamale, Ghana, for cosmetic purposes like skin smoothening and hair growth.

Smoking doubles the risk of blindness, and physical exercise helps dyslexic children read better.

This review discusses the role of androgens in hair follicle regulation and suggests that a better understanding could enhance treatments for conditions like hirsutism and alopecia, but does not present new findings.

This study found that Sri Lankan women with polycystic ovary syndrome experienced higher psychological distress and poorer health-related quality of life, primarily linked to hirsutism rather than obesity.

This study found that zip codes in Oakland County, MI with larger Black populations were disproportionately affected by COVID-19, experiencing higher incidence rates, though racial composition was not linked to case fatality.

In this narrative review, the authors found that stigma related to oculocutaneous albinism in Africa is primarily driven by socio-cultural beliefs and structural inequities, affecting individuals' health, education, and psychosocial well-being, with interventions needed to dispel myths and provide specialized healthcare and support.

This article reviews and critiques Tamsin Wilton's arguments on MTF transsexualism, suggesting her work reaffirms Cartesian dualism rather than dismantling it, and emphasizes the need for continued dialogue in transsex, lesbian, and feminist communities.

This article discusses new guidelines recommending finasteride for asymptomatic men during prostate cancer screening to reduce disease risk, but notes no impact on mortality; it reports no new results.

This commentary discusses how environmental epidemiology has largely neglected the impact of racism on health outcomes, suggesting various solutions to better integrate these considerations into research.

Goat hair shows changes in metal levels and stress when goats move from indoors to mountain pastures.

This review discusses the use of hair cortisol concentration as a marker for chronic stress and long-term cortisol secretion in animals, highlighting its benefits and the need for standardized sampling protocols.

In this study, researchers observed that acute stress increased levels of the enzyme 5αR2 in the medial prefrontal cortex of male rats, affecting stress reactivity, but this effect was not seen in females.
