This review examines the potential of apigenin and ellagic acid as adjunct or alternative treatments for PCOS, but reports no new clinical results and highlights the need for further trials to confirm their efficacy and optimize dosing and delivery.

This chapter reviews the challenges and future prospects of using nanotechnology and phytochemistry in developing safe, effective, and precision-based therapies for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, without reporting new clinical findings.

This review explores the potential benefits of plant-based diets, herbal remedies, and phytochemicals for managing PCOS, suggesting they may help regulate menstrual cycles, improve metabolic parameters, and reduce androgen levels, offering a promising, holistic approach to treatment.

In this study, the analysis of PCOS subreddit data revealed that lifestyle changes and supplements were perceived positively for managing PCOS symptoms, while contraceptives were often linked with negative experiences, except when they included anti-androgenic progestins.

This review explores hirsutism in women with PCOS, analyzing its pathophysiology and management through both modern medicine and Unani perspectives, and suggests combining these approaches for more holistic care, while calling for future research to enhance treatment efficacy and safety.

This review underscores the importance of phytotherapeutic compounds and adjuncts in managing polycystic ovarian syndrome but does not present new clinical evidence.

This meta-analysis reviewed 25 studies and suggested that herbal interventions could improve reproductive health in women with PCOS, showing benefits across measures such as Body Mass Index, hirsutism, and insulin levels, although results were mixed for fasting glucose and FSH levels.

This study reported that 75.9% of participants aged 20-50 in Tikrit, Iraq, had used herbal treatments at least once, primarily for issues like hair loss, hemorrhoids, and gastritis, with the hope of finding effective alternatives to conventional medicine.

This article reviews the phases of hair growth and differences between androgenetic alopecia and telogen effluvium but provides no new clinical findings on Electric Follicle Stimulation.

This source outlines various antiandrogen and androgen inhibitor drugs used to treat cutaneous disorders of hyperandrogenism, detailing their mechanisms, uses, dosages, and side effects, with emphasis on spironolactone, finasteride, dutasteride, and oral contraceptives.

Hormonal contraceptives are effective for teens but require careful consideration of side effects and individual health.

This chapter reviews dermatological drugs and cosmetics, identifying common allergens and preservatives linked to contact dermatitis without reporting new clinical results.

This study discusses the potential of phytochemicals, such as isoflavones and polyphenols, to manage PCOS symptoms by improving insulin resistance, regulating hormones, and reducing cyst size, highlighting their promise as alternative treatments given the limitations of current pharmacological options.

This study suggests that cortisol measured in human hair can effectively reflect increased production for up to six months, but its retrospective accuracy may be limited due to rapid decline in levels.

This review discusses recent advances in surface modification and endothelialization of biomaterials for vascular grafts, highlighting promising methods like gene engineering and targeting ligand immobilization to improve clinical outcomes.

This study found that specific human hair keratins are differentially expressed in the hair follicle, suggesting a shared pathway of epithelial differentiation between hair cortex and nail plate cells.

This study found that while genetic ancestry affects physical appearance traits in Latin American populations, it accounts for only a modest portion of the observed variation.

This study suggests that skin-derived precursors from Sox2(+) hair follicle dermal cells have the potential to function as dermal stem cells, supporting hair morphogenesis, dermal maintenance, and wound-healing.

This review examines various methods for assessing hair growth in women, highlighting the usefulness of the mFG visual scoring method for diagnosing hirsutism despite its limitations.

This review discusses guidelines for androgen use in women and concludes that more research is needed before recommending testosterone due to insufficient evidence on safety and efficacy.

This review elaborates on the skin side effects of chemotherapy and emphasizes identifying and managing both common and life-threatening skin reactions, without presenting new clinical findings.

This study found that PCOS patients had higher amounts of central abdominal fat compared to weight-matched controls, which was associated with increased insulin resistance.

This study demonstrated that stress-derived neurosteroid THDOC shifts from inhibiting to activating the HPA axis under stress, presenting potential therapeutic targets for stress-related disorders.

In this study, tofacitinib was reported to improve scalp hair regrowth in patients with severe alopecia areata, alopecia totalis, and alopecia universalis, showing a higher response in alopecia areata.

This research overview highlights that although JAK inhibitors show promise as potential treatments for alopecia areata based on recent insights into the disease mechanism, their efficacy has not yet been thoroughly evaluated in a systematic manner.

This study found that the prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome was 16.6% with Rotterdam criteria but decreased to 6.3% or 8.5% when using alternative criteria involving antral follicle count or anti-Müllerian hormone.

This study found that dutasteride increased scalp hair growth in men with male pattern hair loss, particularly at a 2.5 mg dose, and was more effective than finasteride over 24 weeks.

Genetic variation in the androgen receptor gene mainly causes early-onset hair loss, with maternal inheritance playing a key role.

This study found that both genetic and environmental factors influence appearance-related aging in women, with skin wrinkling, hair graying, and sun damage significantly affecting perceived age more than chronological age.

This report concludes that the blend method is the most effective electrolysis technique for permanent hair removal, requiring proper technique and preparation such as shaving before treatment to increase efficacy.
