This review explores modern scientific approaches in using bioelementology to diagnose and treat different forms of alopecia, reporting no new clinical results but identifying gaps needing further research.

This article discusses the author's experience with prescribing generic finasteride for hair restoration but reports no new clinical findings.

Radioiodine-131 significantly accumulates in skin and hair.

A new antiandrogen compound was made and its detailed three-dimensional shape was described.

The study observed that rice strains IR 97477-115-1-CRB-0-SKI-1-SKI-0-2 and IR 97477-115-1-CRB-0-SKI-3-SKI-0-2 demonstrated stable high yields and zinc content across different agro-climate conditions.

The researchers reported that sterol surfactants with a bulky planar structure effectively solubilized ultraviolet ray absorbers, offering a stable solution more efficiently than other surfactants.

This study reports that spironolactone, a potassium-sparing diuretic with antiandrogenic activity, effectively improves hair density, reduces shedding, and stabilizes symptoms in female pattern hair loss, though symptoms often recur after discontinuation, suggesting the need for sustained therapy.

This study found that spironolactone reduced serum androstenedione and anagen hair shaft diameter in hirsute patients but did not significantly alter unbound testosterone levels, suggesting its effects are primarily peripheral.

In this phase 2 trial, STS01 1% significantly improved hair regrowth in patients with mild to moderate patchy alopecia areata compared to placebo, with a manageable skin irritation side effect profile.

This article provides guidelines by ASPEN for managing parenteral nutrition shortages but reports no new clinical findings.

This study observed that radioactive sulphur appeared in rat and mouse hair follicles more quickly than in lambs, possibly linked to faster hair growth rates in the rodents.

This article discusses hyperandrogenism syndrome in women, highlighting systemic antiandrogenic therapy as advisable for severe or moderate hirsutism but reports no new clinical results.

This case report describes a 3-year-old boy with trichothiodystrophy, highlighting specific MRI findings of diffuse dysmyelination and osteosclerosis that may be unique to the disorder.

This study found that cryptotanshinone improved bone mass, inhibited osteoclast differentiation, and protected against kidney damage in ovariectomized rats, suggesting potential benefits for clinical use.

This review discusses the controversial cardiovascular safety and efficacy of subcutaneous testosterone therapy in postmenopausal women, noting that its long-term use appears safe, but CV risk assessments remain disputed.

In this study, researchers found that progesterone promotes breast tumor growth in mice through its metabolite 5αP, which can be blocked by the 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride.

This review suggests that brassinosteroids may have similar biological activities in both plants and other organisms, prompting further exploration of steroid regulation mechanisms across different life forms.

This study aims to conduct the first double-blind randomized trial comparing spironolactone and doxycycline for female acne treatment, with the goal of establishing spironolactone as a potentially superior alternative, especially given concerns about antibiotic resistance.

This study found that administering spironolactone or canrenone to castrated male rats significantly decreased the availability of cytoplasmic androgen receptor binding sites, suggesting canrenone mediates spironolactone's antiandrogenic effects in skin.

This study found that progesterone implantation in castrated male rats mitigated stress-induced increases in corticosterone levels and protected against spatial memory impairment and increased exploratory behavior.

This article reports a rare case of squamous cell carcinoma with miliary calcification in a cutaneous horn, suggesting possible involvement of calcium-binding proteins in this unique presentation.

This review discusses the pharmacological properties of progestins used in contraception and hormone replacement therapy, focusing on drospirenone's unique effects, but reports no new experimental findings.

In this case study, a 51-year-old Japanese man was diagnosed with desmoplastic trichoepithelioma after histological examination of surgically excised facial plaques.

This study found that oral spironolactone improved certain biomarkers in central serous chorioretinopathy patients, but recurrence, especially in older patients, was relatively common.

This study suggests that hair analysis could serve as a diagnostic tool for detecting calcium channel activity, which influences hair calcium levels and may indicate calcium deficiency or related disease states.

In this study, trilostane was generally effective and well-tolerated for treating canine Cushing's syndrome, though some dogs experienced signs of hypoadrenocorticism, and dose adjustments were necessary over time.

This study reports that oral spironolactone may be a useful and low-cost first-line treatment for hidradenitis suppurativa in women, with relatively few side effects.

This study found that X-irradiation causes hair dysplasia through two mechanisms influenced by oxygen, and cystamine injections after irradiation enhance this effect.

In this case study, divisional thallium intoxication in an adolescent led to progressive optic and peripheral neuropathy, with neurological deterioration occurring more rapidly after a second ingestion.
