This study found that neonatal administration of finasteride affected adult learning and memory in rats, enhancing object recognition but impairing aversive learning, with no effect on anxiety-like behavior.

This study concluded that 16β-methyl-17α-benzoyloxypregnen-4-en-3,20-dione may be a promising treatment for androgen-dependent diseases and epilepsy due to its antioxidant effects and impact on GABAergic and serotonergic metabolism in rats.

This study found that various steroids affected the mRNA expression of enzymes involved in lipid metabolism in hamster flank organs, with different impacts depending on the steroid and combination used.

In this clinical study, researchers reported that both sodium valproate-loaded nanospanlastics and topical corticosteroids showed comparable modest efficacy in treating patchy alopecia areata, recommending further investigation into sodium valproate's role combined with other therapies.

In this 48-week trial, 5% topical minoxidil was more effective than both 2% minoxidil and placebo in promoting hair growth in women with female pattern hair loss, with notable improvements in nonvellus hair count and hair growth assessments.

This study found that topical fulvestrant did not significantly improve hair growth parameters in men and postmenopausal women with androgenetic alopecia, unlike minoxidil, which was more effective in men.

This study observed that a tacrolimus solution (0.1%) applied to the scalp was effective and well-tolerated for treating inflammatory scalp conditions, with 72.7% of patients showing an excellent response after 2 months of treatment, which persisted after 6 months.

This study found significant species differences in the enzyme activity and inhibitor affinities of prostatic 5α-reductases from rats, dogs, and humans, with variable potencies for different 3-oxo-4-azasteroid inhibitors across species.

This study found that women with female pattern androgenic alopecia have significantly higher levels of certain androgens and androgen sulfates compared to normal premenopausal women, suggesting markers for diagnosis and treatment efficacy.

This article discusses the clinical presentation and management challenges of menopausal acne, noting its multifactorial etiology and recommending tailored treatment approaches based on acne severity and associated features, without reporting new clinical results.

This study found that LY320236 is a competitive inhibitor of type I and a non-competitive inhibitor of type II steroid 5alpha-reductase, indicating its potential as a dual inhibitor with differing modes of activity.

This study found that low-dose finasteride treatment in men with premature androgenetic alopecia decreased levels of 5α-reduced steroids, which may be linked to increased depression symptoms.

This review discusses recent studies on the hepatotoxic effects of anabolic androgenic steroids and selective androgen receptor modulators, including liver damage, tumors, and related conditions, and reports no new primary research results.

This study found that certain steroidal compounds, especially 10a–10c, demonstrated strong antiandrogenic activity by binding to the androgen receptor and reducing prostate weight in a hamster model.

This study found that neuroactive steroids like DHEA and pregnenolone influence cocaine-induced appetence in mice through their interaction with the ς₁ receptor, suggesting a role in individual vulnerability to addiction.

This study found that low-dose methotrexate significantly reduced the steroid requirement in subjects with corticosteroid-requiring asthma without altering their clinical status or causing significant complications.

This study found that a topical solution combining 0.25% finasteride with 3% minoxidil significantly improved hair growth, as measured by hair density, diameter, and global assessment, in men with androgenetic alopecia, compared to 3% minoxidil alone, over 24 weeks without systemic adverse effects reported.

Liposomes can make the antiandrogen RU 58841 more effective for skin application by reducing absorption, increasing skin retention, and targeting sebaceous structures.

This study found that measuring specific steroid hormone levels can aid in diagnosing P450 oxidoreductase deficiency, a subtype of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, by distinguishing affected patients from healthy individuals.

In this study, researchers observed that a new peptide complex helped increase hair density in postmenopausal patients with female-type hair loss by promoting the transition of hair follicles from a resting stage to a growth stage.

A woman developed a scalp condition from using minoxidil, which improved with a different treatment but left scarring.

In this study, the combination of finasteride and minoxidil significantly increased hair growth in balding male stumptail macaques compared to each drug alone.

A man developed an allergic skin reaction after using brimonidine for rosacea.

This letter discusses a case of iododerma in pregnancy linked to iodinated multivitamin use, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study examined how different surgical techniques tailored to individual patient characteristics affected outcomes in secondary female hairline correction surgery, finding that patient-specific approaches can lead to satisfactory results.

A young man with an eating disorder had a life-threatening adrenal crisis due to an autoimmune condition, highlighting the need for better education on managing hormone treatments.

A woman with a drug allergy to anakinra was successfully desensitized, allowing her to continue treatment without allergic reactions.

This article reviews the pathogenesis, complications, and management of lichen planus, especially its persistent oral form, and highlights the need for further prospective studies.

This review discusses evidence-based treatments for common hair loss forms, noting robust support for androgenetic alopecia therapies but limited long-term data and fewer high-quality studies for alopecia areata and cicatricial alopecias.

This review focuses on the various skin symptoms associated with COVID-19 but reports no new clinical findings.
