This guideline outlines the management of systemic lupus erythematosus in adults but reports no new clinical findings.

This study reported that while no synthesized compounds surpassed finasteride in 5α-reductase inhibitory activity, certain 4-azasteroid-2-oximes exhibited notable inhibition.

In this study, hyperandrogenemia in young women with polycystic ovary syndrome was linked to higher blood pressure, independent of factors like age, insulin resistance, obesity, or dyslipidemia.

This review discusses various strategies to enhance drug delivery through the skin barrier, highlighting liposomes as promising carriers for increased dermal concentrations in topical therapies, but reports no new research results.

This article outlines manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus, noting rapid joint symptom improvement with corticosteroids and antimalarial drug responsiveness for skin symptoms, and links anti-Ro with photosensitive rash and subacute lupus.

This review discusses the role of the endocannabinoid system in skin health and disease, highlighting its potential for future research and applications, but reports no new experimental results.

This study found significant heterogeneity in transcriptome patterns among SSc patients, identifying prominent fibroinflammatory and keratin signatures that may aid in stratifying patients for targeted treatment approaches.

This study found that mycophenolate mofetil was associated with higher response rates and lower rates of serious side effects, including a lower mortality rate, compared to cyclophosphamide in lupus nephritis treatment.

This review discusses the causes, clinical implications, and treatment options for polycystic ovary syndrome and reports no new results; the authors highlight both approved and emerging therapies.

This study reported a 6.3% prevalence of PCOS among women in a Sri Lankan community, with most cases presenting as oligo/amenorrhea and polycystic ovaries.

This study reported that while no effective treatment exists for frontal fibrosing alopecia, oral 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors showed the most promise, inducing a good clinical response in 45% of patients.

This systematic review indicates that a platelet-rich plasma concentration of 1.0 × 10^6 plt/μL may be optimal for tissue regeneration due to sufficient nutrition supply and effective growth factor diffusion in vivo.

This review suggests that allogenic adipose stem cell and extracellular matrix transplants may be safe and effective for various medical conditions, based on available studies.

This review discusses the cosmetic applications of platelet-rich plasma in dermatology, highlighting its potential benefits and the need for more controlled studies.

This article reviews the current ACR classification criteria for systemic lupus erythematosus, highlighting their dermatologic limitations, and proposes guidelines for a study to update these criteria.

This study found that fibromyalgia prevalence is slightly higher in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus compared to those with arthritis, but fibromyalgia-ness does not bias the SLE Activity Questionnaire.
