In this study, treatment with finasteride 1 mg/day for five years significantly reduced the likelihood of further visible hair loss in men with androgenetic alopecia compared to placebo.

This study found that hair loss is common following metabolic and bariatric surgery, particularly among younger women with low serum levels of zinc, folic acid, and ferritin.

This study found that the Chinese version of the Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Quality of Life Questionnaire (Chi-PCOSQ) is sensitive to clinical changes and effectively assesses health-related quality of life in Chinese women with PCOS.

In this study, researchers observed the patterns of hair distribution and scalp anatomy in Chinese young adult males, finding significant variations in hairline shape, hair density, and follicular unit structure.

In this study, finasteride treatment for two years did not significantly reverse miniaturized hair follicles in men with male pattern hair loss, challenging the "reversal hypothesis" as 79 out of 113 miniaturized hairs remained unchanged.

In this study, autologous platelet concentrates and topical steroids similarly reduced lesion size, Thongprasom scale, and pain in oral lichen planus patients, suggesting autologous platelet concentrates as a potential alternative treatment.

Topical caffeine improves hair loss intensity, speed, and shedding, and works better with minoxidil/azelaic acid.

In this study of women aged 18-45 from an endocrine referral group, researchers found that while clinical hirsutism severity is independently associated with biochemical hyperandrogenism, the relationship is modest and suggests different biological aspects are at play.

This clinical trial found that using a 45-degree angled implanter with the bevel facing the skin in FUE hair transplantation significantly reduced insertion resistance, graft popping, and bleeding, while improving efficiency and graft alignment compared to conventional methods.

This review discusses the use of platelet-rich plasma in regenerative dentistry, highlighting its biological principles, clinical applications, and the challenges encountered in PRP-based strategies for oral tissue engineering, but reports no new results.

The study concluded that the Exprecell™ device for preparing anticoagulant-free f-PRF increases volume yield and simplifies the process while maintaining biological activity comparable to conventional methods, suggesting potential clinical utility.

This source discusses how radiotherapy-induced skin fibrosis, a chronic side effect affecting cancer survivors' quality of life, is driven by ongoing inflammation and fibroblast activity, and emphasizes the need for comprehensive dermatologic management and better diagnostic tools.

This pharmacovigilance study identified 19 drugs with high potential risk for causing male infertility, including hormonal agents, antineoplastic drugs, and antidepressants, emphasizing the need for fertility counseling and possible sperm cryopreservation in reproductive-age males before using such treatments.

This narrative review highlights the potential of exosomes in regenerative and aesthetic dermatology, particularly in India, but emphasizes that their clinical use is still investigational due to limited and diverse study data, insufficient long-term safety information, and regulatory challenges.

This case report found that hyperbaric oxygen therapy significantly accelerated postoperative recovery in hair transplantation patients, improving healing, graft integration, and patient satisfaction without complications.

This study developed the SAALIQ, a culturally adapted tool specifically for measuring quality of life in Spanish-speaking patients with alopecia areata, highlighting its strong psychometric performance and the benefit of capturing overlooked domains compared to generic measures.

This systematic review and meta-analysis found that platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is effective in increasing hair density and reducing hair loss for alopecia, with variations in response based on activation status.

This systematic review suggests that intraoperative corticosteroids can reduce postoperative edema in FUE hair transplantation donor areas, but highlights a need for more mechanistic studies to improve understanding of tissue regeneration.

In this study, researchers found that the primary cause of slippage and detachment of keratin capsules in hair extensions is the re-contamination by oily residues from the hairdresser's hands, rather than the use of hair care products like masks or conditioners.

This study introduces a new method to isolate stem cells from the hair follicle outer root sheath of equine skin, demonstrating that these cells, named eMSCORS, proliferate efficiently and can differentiate similarly to adipose tissue-derived MSCs, offering a promising alternative for equine veterinary applications.

This study found that a quantitative system detected subtle asymmetries in frontotemporal hairline regression among male androgenetic alopecia patients, which were not captured by the traditional Norwood classification.

This guide reviews the biology of sebaceous glands and their evaluation methods, emphasizing their roles beyond lipid production in skin health and disease, and reports no new research results.

This study reviewed recent advances in regenerative technologies for aesthetic and reconstructive medicine and found that adipose-derived stem cells and platelet-rich plasma are well-established for tissue repair due to their safety and effectiveness, while emerging technologies like exosome-based therapies hold future potential.

This review highlights that effective management of PCOS-related dermatological issues, such as hirsutism and acne, requires a multidisciplinary approach involving hormonal therapies, metabolic interventions, and lifestyle changes.

This review compares regulations for herbal hair products' labeling and claim validation across various regions, identifying existing discrepancies and discussing the need for global standardization to improve consumer protection and trade facilitation.

This review discusses various applications of low level laser therapy and argues for a holistic evaluation of patients but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that platelet-rich plasma therapy significantly increased hair diameter and density in male androgenetic alopecia patients over six months, particularly in those with AGA durations up to five years.

This review discusses the diverse phytochemical constituents and medicinal applications of Asteraceae family plants, noting their significance in traditional and modern medicine, but provides no new clinical results.

In this study, a comprehensive literature review identified 181 plant species traditionally used for hemorrhoid treatment in Thailand, highlighting key species with pharmacological activities such as anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, which are poised for potential pharmaceutical development.

This study revealed significant signals of drug-related cognitive disorders in several medications that lack relevant FDA label warnings, suggesting a need for increased clinical awareness and potential label updates.
