      research Wound Healing, Cutaneous Therapy, Hair

      November 2008 in “Medical & surgical dermatology”
      A device was made in 2008 to measure hair loss severity. Other findings include: frizzy mutation in mice isn't related to Fgfr2, C/EBPx marks preadipocytes, Cyclosporin A speeds up hair growth in mice, blocking plasmin and metalloproteinases hinders healing, hyperbaric oxygen helps ischemic wound healing, amniotic membranes heal wounds better than polyurethane foam, rhVEGF165 from a fibrin matrix improves tissue flap viability and induces VEGF-R2 expression, and bFGF enhances wound healing and reduces scarring in rabbits.
      Research Snippets: Dermatological Genetics and Conditions

      research Research Snippets: Dermatological Genetics and Conditions

      July 2005 in “British Journal of Dermatology”
      New gene mutations linked to skin conditions were found, bacteria and chemicals may worsen acne, a dog mutation could exist in humans, virus-like elements might be involved in psoriasis, and a vitamin D3 treatment doesn't prevent chemotherapy-related hair loss.
      Testosterone and Female Sexuality: A Skeptical View

      research Testosterone and Female Sexuality: A Skeptical View

      March 2004 in “Current Sexual Health Reports”
      Testosterone's role in women's sex drive is unclear and needs more research, as low levels don't always mean less sexual interest and high levels can cause side effects.

      research Clinical Snippets: Dermatological Studies and Findings

      December 2003 in “˜The œjournal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology”
      Glycerol may improve wound healing and prevent keloids, a device can measure itch intensity, male pattern baldness is highly heritable, and fumaric acid esters may work for psoriasis by causing cell death in T cells.
      Hair Follicle Regeneration In Vitro

      research Hair Follicle Regeneration In Vitro

      December 2016 in “Paleontological Journal”
      Hair growth can be induced by transplanting certain cells, but these cells lose their properties during culturing. The best cell interaction happens in a liquid medium under gravity, and using collagen doesn't help. Future research could focus on using growth factors to stimulate these cells.
      Hair's Zinc Level in Androgenic Alopecia

      research Hair's Zinc Level in Androgenic Alopecia

      January 2016 in “American Journal of Clinical and Experimental Medicine”
      Lower zinc levels in hair are linked to more severe male pattern baldness, but blood zinc levels don't show this link. Age also increases baldness severity.
      Androgens in SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus Infections

      research Androgens in SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus Infections

      5 citations, December 2021 in “Physiological Research”
      Men, particularly those with hair loss, are more likely to get the virus, and those with prostate cancer may have milder symptoms. Testosterone's role in the disease is unclear, and the virus doesn't seem to harm male fertility. Women with PCOS might be at higher risk. More research is needed.
      Correction of the Cornrow Transplant and Other Common Problems in Surgical Hair Restoration

      research Correction of the Cornrow Transplant and Other Common Problems in Surgical Hair Restoration

      2 citations, April 2000 in “Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery”
      Dr. Vogel improved hair restoration by reducing and recycling hair plugs, achieving a more natural look and a 50-80% survival rate for replanted follicles. He emphasized understanding natural hair loss patterns, educating patients about alopecia, and refusing to operate on those who don't understand these aesthetics.
      Abstracts from the 4th Annual Student Medical Summit

      research Abstracts from the 4th Annual Student Medical Summit

      1 citations, May 2021 in “BMC Proceedings”
      The document concludes that more research is needed to reduce frequent hospital visits, addiction medicine education improves with specific training, early breast cancer surgery findings are emerging, nipple smears are not very accurate, surgery for older melanoma patients doesn't extend life, a genetic condition in infants can often be treated with one drug, doctors are inconsistent with blood clot medication, a certain gene may protect against cell damage, muscle gene overexpression affects many other genes, and some mitochondrial genes are less active in mice with tumors.
      Highlights

      research Highlights

      September 2016 in “JAMA Dermatology”
      Melanoma patients can learn to check their skin, early balding in men may indicate similar risks as PCOS in women, certain criteria can help predict skin cancer behavior, small skin cancer may not need extra therapy after surgery, and sterile gloves don't reduce infection in minor surgeries.
      Plain Language Summaries of Dermatological Studies

      research Plain Language Summaries of Dermatological Studies

      June 2014 in “British Journal of Dermatology”
      Eczema patients have a lower skin lipid to protein ratio, older and longer-staying hospital patients are more likely to get pressure ulcers, hair loss in AGA is linked to muscle degeneration, vitamin D deficiency is common in alopecia areata and linked to its severity, standard liver tests don't effectively detect fibrosis in psoriasis patients on methotrexate, and bullous pemphigoid patients have a higher death risk but combination therapy may reduce it.
      Medical Practice: Therapy and Adverse Reactions

      research Medical Practice: Therapy and Adverse Reactions

      July 2003 in “Journal of Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery”
      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.
      Internal Medicine: Retrospective Review of 120 Patients Over a 10-Year Period

      research Internal Medicine: Retrospective Review of 120 Patients Over a 10-Year Period

      July 2003 in “Journal of Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery”
      Certain drugs can cause skin lupus, but stopping the drug usually helps. Vaccines work against smallpox, genital herpes, and a type of human papillomavirus. More frequent light therapy clears psoriasis faster. Certain treatments work for psoriasis and dermatitis. A specific cream effectively treats a type of skin cancer. Low iron levels aren't directly linked to chronic hair loss.
