This study found that a low dose of flutamide, both alone and combined with an oral contraceptive, effectively reduced hirsutism in women, with the combination showing more lasting effects post-treatment.

This study found that dermal papilla cells in culture may enhance and attract follicular epithelial cell growth, suggesting their pivotal role in hair and follicle development.

Early diagnosis and multidisciplinary care are crucial for managing PCOS in adolescents.

This report describes two cases where pemphigus lesions developed at sites of cosmetic procedures, suggesting these treatments might trigger the disease and should be distinguished from other post-surgery complications.

In this study, most hair disorders among HIV-1 positive patients were associated with low helper T cell counts, with papulosquamous conditions like seborrheic dermatitis and psoriasis being the most common.

In this study, a sole diet of Leucaena leucocephala caused hypothyroidism and poor weight gain in steers, but mineral supplementation improved some symptoms without normalizing thyroid hormone levels.

This study observed no correlation between Demodex species and skin condition among Aborigines, though D. brevis was associated with sebaceous gland degeneration in one case.

This article reviews advanced dermabrasion techniques for acne scars and skin lesions, detailing patient selection and procedural steps to enhance therapeutic outcomes and avoid pitfalls, but reports no new findings.

This study found no difference in CAG repeat length between Chinese and Australian men, refuting the hypothesis that this polymorphism and central prostate zone volume are markers of long-term androgen sensitivity.

Iron deficiency is not a significant cause of hair loss in women.

This study found significant differences in serum lipoprotein (a) and triglyceride levels between men with androgenetic alopecia and those with normal hair, suggesting a need for dermatologists to monitor lipid profiles in these patients.

In this study, researchers reported a 0.11% occurrence of congenital triangular alopecia, recommending surgical treatment for women but not for men due to later potential development of androgenic alopecia.

In this case study, electron microscopy revealed that harlequin ichthyosis involves giant mitochondria in keratinocytes and abnormal lamellar granule development, which may contribute to pathogenesis through altered lipid metabolism.

The conclusion is that small hair follicles cause baldness in macaques, and treatments like antiandrogens and minoxidil can prevent hair loss and promote regrowth.

This study found that while the steroid mechanisms influencing androgenetic alopecia may be similar for men and women, differences in enzyme activity and receptor content could explain their varied clinical presentations.

This article explores the use of monoclonal antibodies to study the presence and distribution patterns of melanocytes in developing human skin, but reports no new clinical results.

Minoxidil can cause skin irritation like eczema and rash in some users.

This study observed that the thinning and structural abnormalities in monilethrix-affected hair occur at the internodes due to possible periodic dysfunction of the hair matrix, particularly in the cortex.

This article describes incisional slit grafting as an improved hair transplantation method, using smaller grafts and conserving vascular supply to enhance graft yield and achieve a more natural hairline, but reports no new research results.

This study found that while systemic absorption of DHT from liposomes was negligible, the topical biological effect was weaker compared to DHT dissolved in acetone on the female hamster flank organ model.

The authors reviewed cases of six children with both hair-shaft abnormalities and neurological disorders, noting that such hair defects may indicate neurological conditions, including potentially treatable metabolic errors.

This review discusses the use of antiandrogen therapy in dermatology, covering treatments for conditions like acne, hirsutism, and androgenic alopecia but reports no new clinical findings.

This article reviews previous cases and reports of allergic contact dermatitis from minoxidil but does not provide new clinical findings.

This study found that OPC-17116 can be reliably detected in hair, suggesting it can serve as an index of drug exposure and a time-marker in hair analysis.

This study found that women with female pattern androgenic alopecia have significantly higher levels of certain androgens and androgen sulfates compared to normal premenopausal women, suggesting markers for diagnosis and treatment efficacy.

This review discusses current concepts on the role of retinoids in keratinization and does not report new clinical results; the authors emphasize the complexity of retinoid effects on skin.

This article reviews the causes and cultural aspects of traction alopecia in black women and presents a treatment not previously reported, but it offers no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the current understanding of genes coding for hair and avian keratins, highlighting gene structure and protein sequences, but reports no new experimental findings.

This study concluded that spironolactone may be an effective therapy for a subgroup of hirsute patients, as it reduced plasma testosterone and improved certain hair growth measures.
