In this study, acetone was not superior to other degreasers for enhancing the efficacy of trichloroacetic acid peels, and its higher flammability suggests using alternative degreasers to reduce workplace hazards.

This study found that cyclosporin A treatment in young nude mice induced dose-dependent hair growth, which stopped after treatment cessation, but did not result in hair growth in older mice.

This article reviews the metabolism and action of androgen in the skin but reports no new experimental results; the author calls for further research.

This study found that in alopecia areata, hair bulbs are blocked in an early growth stage due to impaired metabolic function in the surrounding connective tissue, hindering hair growth.

This study found that 2% ketoconazole solution stimulated hair growth significantly in a mouse model, suggesting potential benefits for male pattern hair loss.

In this study, 31 children with kerion Celsi were treated successfully with antifungal medications, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and treatment to prevent scarring and hair loss.

This study found that androgenic steroids, particularly androstenedione and androstanedione, significantly reduced the growth of certain dermatophytes, suggesting hormonal influence on fungal infections in hair follicles.

This study observed that hair casts, seen in girls with tightly drawn hairstyles, may result from local circulatory disturbances and scalp inflammation.

The review concludes that accurate diagnosis of different types of hair loss requires proper biopsy techniques and understanding the hair growth cycle and underlying causes.

This study suggests that the inner root sheath plays a significant role in maintaining hair follicle homeostasis during the catagen phase's early stages.

Finasteride treats enlarged prostate and baldness, but may cause limited urinary improvement and sex-related side effects.

This study reported that human balding scalp grafted onto nude mice showed reduced linear growth rates of both vellus and terminal hairs.

This pilot study suggests that topical cyclosporin may delay hair shedding and potentially treat alopecia, based on observations in a human scalp skin graft model on mice.

This study found that 2% minoxidil solution was about three times more effective than a placebo in improving hair growth in men with early male pattern alopecia over 24 weeks.

In these studies, among 326 geriatric patients in Ottawa, the most common skin complaints were actinic keratoses, eczema, benign tumors, and malignant tumors.

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia may be caused by changes in how the body processes male hormones.

This case study reported a diagnosis of dermatophytic pseudomycetoma in a Persian cat with dermal nodules, highlighting potential heritable predisposition and suggesting systemic antifungal therapy for fair prognosis.
