This study found that hydroxychloroquine was less effective than betamethasone oral mini pulse therapy in managing alopecia areata, with patients on hydroxychloroquine experiencing score increases and more relapses at 24 weeks, though adverse event rates were similar between the groups.

This study found that a novel effervescent formulation significantly increased minoxidil sulphate accumulation in hair follicles and skin compared to a standard minoxidil solution.

In this prospective clinical trial, azathioprine with steroid minipulse therapy and methotrexate with steroid minipulse therapy both improved hair regrowth in alopecia areata patients, but methotrexate showed slightly higher efficacy.

This study observed that Betamethasone oral mini-pulse therapy showed a good response in 60% of lichen planus patients, though further research is needed to confirm its efficacy.

This document studied minoxidil in healthy volunteers. Minoxidil is quickly absorbed and eliminated from the body.

This study found that minoxidil effectively reduced blood pressure in patients with severe hypertension and renal failure resistant to conventional drugs, though side effects like hirsutism and edema were common.

This study found that the new minoxidil formulation, DC0120, was noninferior to the marketed product ALOSTIL® in promoting hair growth for men with androgenetic alopecia over 16 weeks.

In this study, researchers found that certain vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms are significantly related to insulin concentration during a glucose tolerance test in young women with hyperandrogenism, but these polymorphisms did not affect bone metabolism or other biochemical parameters.

In this study, early prenatal treatment with Minoxidil, a lysyl hydroxylase inhibitor, partly improved cardiac outflow tract septation in Tbx1 mutant mice, suggesting that inhibiting collagen cross-linking may mitigate some effects of Tbx1 mutation associated with DiGeorge syndrome.

This review discusses the effectiveness and mechanisms of combined oral contraceptives in treating acne vulgaris but reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight their antiandrogenic effects for managing acne and related endocrine disorders.

This study observed that vitamin and iron deficiencies were similarly prevalent in the first post-surgical year for patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, except for more frequent vitamin B6 deficiency in sleeve gastrectomy patients.

This review examines Ayurvedic herbs and formulations described in ancient texts for cancer treatment, noting a lack of evidence-based research on their efficacy and potential use in oncology.

This study found that using a combination of 10% topical minoxidil, oral finasteride, and microneedling for six months effectively improved male pattern baldness with moderate to excellent responses and high patient satisfaction, without major side effects among the 25 participants.

This study found no conclusive link between prolonged mibolerone treatment and perifollicular mineralization in toy poodles, suggesting it may instead be a senile change common in the breed.

This study found that rapidly administered intravenous cimetidine may cause a significant drop in blood pressure in critically ill patients, whereas ranitidine does not appear to have the same effect.

This source notes that while low-dose oral minoxidil is effective for treating androgenetic alopecia, it has been associated with electrocardiogram changes and palpitations even at low doses.

This study found that intralesional corticosteroids remain the preferred treatment for alopecia areata with limited involvement, while platelet-rich plasma showed promise, particularly in children and extensive cases.

This study found that combining oral finasteride with topical minoxidil resulted in the greatest improvement in hair growth for male patients with androgenetic alopecia, compared to using any single treatment.

This study found that 1 mg/day low-dose oral minoxidil significantly increased hair count compared to 0.25 mg/day over 24 weeks in women with female pattern hair loss, though no differences were observed in hair-shedding and quality-of-life scores between the two doses.

In this study, researchers aimed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of low-dose oral minoxidil in adolescents, as existing data on its use in this population are limited and there are no specific pediatric guidelines for prescribing it. Results are not reported.

This study reviewed literature on low-dose oral minoxidil as a treatment for hair loss, finding good compliance and tolerability, with mild adverse effects like hypertrichosis, which increase with higher doses.

Topical caffeine improves hair loss intensity, speed, and shedding, and works better with minoxidil/azelaic acid.

This review discusses the potential strategy of continuing topical minoxidil when starting low dose oral minoxidil to mitigate initial hair shedding in alopecia, but reports no new clinical results.

This study presents a case report of a 25-year-old woman with PCOS who experienced irregular menstruation, weight gain, and depression, highlighting improvements in her symptoms and menstrual regularity after three and a half months of treatment with Ayurvedic medicine and yoga.

This letter highlights the lack of evidence on managing persistent alopecia induced by chemotherapy and endocrine therapy in breast cancer patients, noting that prior studies have not included endocrine therapy-induced alopecia.

In this study, a hair tonic formulation with bean leaf juice increased hair growth in male rabbits, with concentration-dependent improvements in hair length and weight compared to a control.
