November 2018 in “Springer eBooks” Children need early diagnosis and treatment for iron-deficiency anemia to prevent learning problems and promote health.

August 2017 in “Journal of pediatric surgery case reports” This case report details a functioning adrenocortical oncocytoma in a 3-year-old girl with hirsutism and virilization, highlighting its rarity in childhood and including a literature review without new clinical data.
April 2017 in “Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease” This study found that 20% of children initially diagnosed with premature pubarche were later identified with other conditions like central puberty precox or congenital adrenal hyperplasia during follow-up, emphasizing the importance of ongoing differential diagnosis.
This study found that 20% of children initially diagnosed with premature pubarche were later identified with different clinical conditions during follow-up, highlighting the need for careful differential diagnosis over time.
January 2017 in “Clinical & medical biochemistry” This study observed that Greek Caucasian women with PCOS had distinct serum hormone levels and a specific AKT2 gene SNP, which may play a role in the condition's characteristics.
August 2015 in “대한피부미용학회지” This study observed that zinc sulfate improved hair growth in a mouse model of alopecia, suggesting potential as a therapeutic agent, though less effective than minoxidil.
September 2014 in “Springer eBooks” This review discusses how sex hormone levels and local steroid synthesis influence gender differences in aging skin, reporting no new clinical results.
In this study, Fumai Paste was found to enhance EGFR expression and accelerate healing in a rat model of vinorelbine-induced skin injury more effectively than magnesium sulfate or saline treatments.
January 2014 in “Michigan telecommunications and technology law review” This study reported that alcoholic cirrhosis patients with zinc deficiency and skin lesions showed rapid symptom improvement with oral zinc sulfate treatment, confirming the diagnosis.
Iron supplements may reverse premature graying in iron-deficient individuals; ingrown nails are common in diabetics with certain risk factors; topical finasteride may reduce scalp DHT as effectively as oral finasteride; monilethrix treatment is challenging but some medications can help.
January 2012 in “The Journal of Qazvin University of Medical Sciences” This study examined the prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome phenotypes among adolescent females in Shiraz, finding a notable presence of different symptoms and emphasizing the need for early detection.
January 2012 in “ProQuest LLC eBooks” This study found that neonatal finasteride and allopregnanolone alterations were associated with anxiety-related behavior changes and impaired aversive learning in adult rats, potentially due to GABA(A) receptor system changes in the hippocampus.
June 2011 in “Journal of clinical and experimental investigations” This study suggests that oral zinc sulphate may be an effective and safe treatment for thallium poisoning, particularly in improving dermatological symptoms and reducing the progression of the condition.
March 2011 in “Journal of clinical and experimental investigations” This study describes two thallium poisoning outbreaks, highlighting characteristic symptoms like hair loss and peripheral neuropathy, and emphasizes that such poisoning can stem from accidental or criminal ingestion.
January 2011 in “Padua Research Archive (University of Padua)” This study suggests that human skin locally synthesizes active sex steroid hormones, impacting inflammation, cell behavior, and wound healing, with potential implications for therapies in aging and impaired wound recovery.
January 2011 in “The Journal of Secondary Vocational Education” This study found that isotretinoin treatment in adolescents with nodulocystic acne may lead to changes in adrenal hormone levels, and hirsutism and menstrual irregularity can occur during treatment.
November 2010 in “Deleted Journal” This study reported that a newly formulated clear liquid shampoo with lavender oil may be effective and acceptable for dandruff control and overall hair and scalp hygiene, based on tests with twenty volunteers.
December 2009 in “Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (Universidade de São Paulo)” This study found that iontophoresis significantly increased the retention of minoxidil sulfate in hair follicles, potentially improving drug delivery for androgenic alopecia treatment.
This study found that iontophoresis significantly increased folicular delivery of minoxidil sulfate and sustained release when combined with chitosan microparticles, suggesting potential to reduce application frequency for treating androgenic alopecia.
November 2008 in “Central Plains Medical Journal” This study found that combining zinc with topical minoxidil significantly improved curative rates in treating androgenetic alopecia after 9 and 12 months compared to zinc alone.
September 2008 in “Fertility and Sterility” This study found that in female dogs, exposure to free fatty acids increased androgen production, suggesting a potential link to factors characteristic of polycystic ovary syndrome.
September 2008 in “Fertility and Sterility” This study found that pregnancies with gestational diabetes in a Midwestern U.S. cohort demonstrated elevated androgen levels compared to healthy controls, suggesting a common relationship between impaired glucose tolerance and hyperandrogenemia across diverse ethnic backgrounds.
January 2005 in “日本機械学會論文集. C編” This study suggests that minoxidil sulfate and pinacidil do not activate K channel currents in hair follicles, indicating their hair growth effects may occur through other mechanisms like increased blood flow.
January 1995 in “대한피부과학회지” This study found that women with androgenetic alopecia had significantly higher mean plasma levels of DHEA-S and total testosterone compared to normal females, despite most individuals in both groups being within normal hormonal ranges.
