A drug improved schizophrenia-like symptoms in stressed rats by changing brain steroid levels.
research Chronic Crusted Scalp Lesion of an Elderly Male
An elderly man's non-healing scalp lesion was successfully treated with a strong topical steroid.
research Factors Predicting Response to Oral Methylprednisolone Tapering Treatment in Alopecia Areata: A Retrospective Study
Younger patients and those with more hair loss are less likely to benefit from oral steroid treatment for hair loss, and low vitamin D may predict relapse.
research Alopecia Areata and Acitretin: A Case Report and Review
A woman's hair grew back after stopping acitretin for psoriasis and getting steroid treatment, and low vitamin D might be linked to alopecia severity.
research A Rare Case of Isolated Pulmonary Involvement in Lymphoid Variant Hypereosinophilic Syndrome
A man with a rare lung-focused form of hypereosinophilic syndrome improved with steroid treatment.
research Histopathological Insights Into Hair Loss in Cronkhite-Canada Syndrome: Diffuse Anagen-Telogen Conversion Precedes Clinical Hair Loss Progression
Hair loss in Cronkhite-Canada syndrome is reversible by treating the gut issues and doesn't need steroid treatment for the hair itself.
research Alopecia-Associated Pseudocyst of the Scalp
A rare scalp condition causing hair loss and cysts in young men can be treated effectively with a specific steroid injection.
research Androgen Receptor Activation Integrates Complex Transcriptional Effects in Osteoblasts, Involving the Growth Factors TGF-β and IGF-I, and Transcription Factor C/EBPδ
DHT affects bone growth by altering gene activity in osteoblasts, potentially complicating steroid use.
research Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Action of 5α-Reductase Inhibitors May Be Mediated by Dehydroepiandrosterone
Certain drugs like Dutasteride and Finasteride might help fight SARS-CoV-2 by increasing levels of a steroid called DHEA, which can protect the heart and increase nitric oxide to counteract the virus.
research Synthesis and Study of Some 17a-Aza-D-Homo Steroids as 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
The research found that compound 6, a newly created steroid, is more effective at inhibiting 5α-reductase (an enzyme) than current treatments, suggesting it could be a better option for treating urinary tract symptoms in men.
research Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia Amalgamated with Alopecia Areata: Immunologic Findings
The patient with both scarring and non-scarring hair loss showed complex immune reactions and improved with steroid treatment.
research Effect of Finasteride on Adrenal Steroidogenesis in Men
Finasteride, when taken daily, lowers dihydrotestosterone levels but doesn't noticeably affect adrenal steroid production, except by blocking the 5 alpha-reductase enzyme.
research Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Presenting With Bullous Lesions, Cutaneous Vasculitis and Laryngeal Ulcerations - A Rare Association
A woman with lupus had unusual symptoms like blisters, skin inflammation, and throat ulcers, which improved with steroid and dapsone treatment.
research Epidermolysis Bullosa Pruriginosa, Muscular Dystrophy, and Immune-Mediated Myasthenia Gravis in a Patient With Homozygous Nonsense PLEC Mutation
A patient with a PLEC mutation has epidermolysis bullosa, muscular dystrophy, and myasthenia gravis, which improved with steroid treatment.
