research Autoimmune Alopecia Areata Due to Thymoma Without Myasthenia Gravis: A Case Report
A woman's hair loss improved after removing a tumor in her thymus gland, suggesting hair loss can be linked to such tumors even without a specific muscle weakness condition.
research Androgen Antagonists in Androgen Target Tissues
Antiandrogens have important biological effects, but more research is needed to understand them fully and compare their effectiveness and side effects to other treatments.
research The 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3-Independent Actions of the Vitamin D Receptor in Skin
The vitamin D receptor helps regulate skin and hair health independently of its usual vitamin D ligand.
research 37-Year-Old Man With Fatigue and Erectile Dysfunction
The man's fatigue and erectile dysfunction were improved by treating his obesity-related low testosterone without needing testosterone replacement.
research Repurposing of Approved Cardiovascular Drugs
Some heart drugs show promise for other conditions, but more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness and safety.
research Evidence That Mirex Promotes a Unique Population of Epidermal Cells That Cannot Be Distinguished by Their Mutant Ha-ras Genotype
Mirex seems to promote a unique group of skin cells different from those affected by another tumor promoter, TPA.
research Prostate-Specific Antigen as a Marker of Hyperandrogenism in Women and Its Implications for Antidoping
PSA levels could help detect illegal steroid use in female athletes but face challenges like cost and PCOS prevalence.
research The Androgen Receptor and Its Use in Biological Assays: Looking Toward Effect-Based Testing and Its Applications
Scientists have developed a new method to detect steroid abuse in athletes using cell-based tests, which could be the future of anti-doping methods.
research Effect of Estrogens on Skin Aging and the Potential Role of SERMs
Estrogens help reduce skin aging, and SERMs might offer similar benefits without the risks of hormone therapy.
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 Diseases of the Skin: Treatment of Scalp Disorders
The document concludes that scalp disorders can be treated with hair washing, specific shampoos, medications, and sometimes surgery or hair transplants, but hereditary baldness is untreatable.
research Combined Melanocytic Nevus Presenting with Scalp Alopecia Associated with Alopecia Areata: Coincidence or Causal?
A man's scalp hair loss was due to a combined melanocytic nevus and alopecia areata, suggesting a possible link between the two conditions.
research Targets to Treat Androgen Excess in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
The conclusion is that while oral contraceptive pills are effective for PCOS-related high androgen levels, new treatments with fewer side effects are needed.
research Incidence of Adverse Cutaneous Drug Reactions in a Mexican Sample: An Exploratory Study on Their Association to Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha TNF2 Allele
Mexican patients had a lower incidence of skin reactions to drugs and no significant link between these reactions and the TNF2 gene variant.
research Hormonal and Clinical Evaluation of Patients with Moderate Body Hair Growth
Women with moderate body hair have higher levels of certain hormones and may benefit from treatment that increases sex hormone-binding protein.
research Lupus Erythematosus and the Skin
Lupus affects the skin in various ways, and proper skin examination is crucial for diagnosis and treatment.
research Ovarian Leukocyte Distribution and Cytokine/Chemokine mRNA Expression in Follicular Fluid Cells in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Women with PCOS have fewer activated T cells in their ovarian follicles, which might affect fertility.
research Congenital Combined Melanocytic Nevus of the Scalp With Associated Alopecia Areata
A man with a birthmark on his scalp developed hair loss that improved with treatment, but the link between the birthmark and hair loss was unclear.
research Managing the Adverse Effects of Cytotoxic Chemotherapy at the Level of Primary Healthcare
Primary healthcare clinics are key in managing chemotherapy side effects using various medications and treatments.
research Impaired Prolactin-Lowering Effects of Metformin in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Metformin lowers prolactin in women without PCOS but not in those with PCOS, where it reduces other hormones instead.
research Anti-Androgen Treatment of Hirsute Women: A Study on Stress Responses
The treatment reduced hair growth and testosterone in women with excess hair and had some effects on stress responses.
research Cutaneous Reactions to Drugs
Skin reactions are a common reason for emergency visits due to drug allergies, with some severe cases needing intensive care.
research Lower Prostate Cancer Risk in Swedish Men with the Androgen Receptor E213 A-Allele
Swedish men with the E213 A-allele of the androgen receptor have a lower risk of prostate cancer.
research Specific Inhibition of FGF5-Induced Cell Proliferation by RNA Aptamers
RNA aptamers can specifically block FGF5-related cell growth, potentially treating related diseases or hair disorders.
research Surgery And Laser
Various skin conditions like cutaneous lupus erythematosus, psoriasis, and basal cell carcinoma can be effectively treated with antihypertensive agents, NB-UVB phototherapy, and imiquimod cream respectively. Vaccines are effective against genital herpes and HPV-16 infection. Early intervention is crucial for conditions like diabetic foot ulcers and neonatal herpes. Certain dyes can cause hand dermatitis, and there's a link between smoking/drinking and psoriasis in men. No direct link was found between low iron levels and chronic hair loss in women.
research Approach to Investigation of Hyperandrogenism in a Postmenopausal Woman
Postmenopausal hyperandrogenism, a condition with symptoms like increased hair growth and acne, is usually caused by PCOS but can also be due to other factors. It's diagnosed by checking testosterone levels and treated either by removing the adrenal tumor or through antiandrogen therapy.
research Medical Practice: Therapy and Adverse Reactions
Blood pressure drugs can cause skin lupus, but it improves after stopping the drug. The glycoprotein D vaccine works against genital herpes in some women, and the HPV-16 vaccine reduces HPV-16 infection and related diseases. More frequent light therapy clears psoriasis faster. A cream called imiquimod effectively treats a type of skin cancer. Iron supplements don't necessarily help with chronic hair loss in women.
