This study found that Ocimum basilicum L. showed the highest 5α-reductase inhibitory activity among ten Thai plants, despite no correlation between enzyme inhibition and total phenolic content.

This study found that dermatology patients with tattoos or piercings may have a higher risk of body dysmorphic disorder tendencies and lower acceptance of their illness.

Among maize plants, this study observed that root hairs tend to grow in air-filled pores at the root-soil interface, but their growth into the soil matrix is limited, posing potential constraints on nutrient uptake, anchorage, and rhizosheath formation.

This study found that among prostate cancer patients undergoing a biopsy, those with metabolic syndrome tended to have a lower Gleason score compared to those without the syndrome.

This study found that the molecular structures of α-keratin and collagen in a 2,100-year-old female cadaver's hair and tendon were preserved, while fibrous molecule aggregations were altered.

This study reported that alopecia can moderately impact patients' quality of life and is linked to a depressive tendency, with frequent medical visits and higher quality of life impairment as risk factors.

This review found that patients with depression generally have higher hair cortisol concentrations compared to healthy controls, while those with PTSD tend to have lower concentrations.

This review analyzed data on alopecia types associated with COVID-19, suggesting androgenetic alopecia may be a risk factor for severe COVID-19, while telogen effluvium often follows infection and alopecia areata tends to relapse in those with preexisting disease.

This case report describes a 45-year-old Japanese woman with metastatic cervical cancer, including rare scalp metastases, who experienced severe scalp tenderness and patchy hair loss before her death.

This study found that the decision board is a reliable and valid tool for assessing treatment preferences in systemic lupus erythematosus patients, who tended to favor oral medication due to concerns about side effects.

This case report highlights the successful use of the Bardach modification of the curved tripod flap for repairing cicatricial pressure alopecia, offering a natural appearance and effective tension distribution in scalp reconstruction.

This study found that bladder outlet obstruction's common complication, detrusor overactivity, tends to persist with medical therapy or watchful waiting but significantly decreases with surgical treatment, especially prostatectomy.

In this study, the HairLux fractional radiofrequency device was found to be effective and safe for stimulating hair growth in androgenetic alopecia, with patients experiencing increased hair density and thickness after ten treatments.

This study found that torsional measurements can effectively distinguish the effects of hair care products on the cuticle versus the cortex of hair fibers, unlike tensile measurements.

This study found that enlarged facial pores in women show distinct microstructural alterations, including regular keratinocyte arrangement and irregular dermo-epidermal junctions, highlighting changes in skin tension linked to pore enlargement.

In this study using mice, researchers found that the Piezo1 channel regulates metabolic changes and immune cell infiltration during skin growth under tension, with altered expression of glycolysis-related genes and increased macrophage activity observed in stretched skin.

This report discusses a case of extensive keloid formation at the donor site following hair transplantation, emphasizing the need for surgeons to be cautious in patients with a history of keloid tendencies.

In this study, hair samples from Mexican women were found to be intermediate in diameter and shape between Asian and Caucasian hair, exhibiting high intra- and inter-individual variability and unexpected levels of tensile damage.

This study found that adding molybdenum to poultry diets depressed growth without affecting feather pigmentation, and copper supplementation tended to counteract the growth inhibition.

In this study, researchers found all donor sites except the neck region suitable for midfrontal hairline restoration in Southeast Asian women, with donor site hair density and diameter tending to decline with age.

This study highlights that wearing religious head coverings, such as hijabs, turbans, and wigs, is associated with traction alopecia due to hairstyling practices creating tension on the scalp, and offers culturally sensitive recommendations to mitigate this risk without compromising religious beliefs.

This report describes a case of temporary hair loss due to telogen effluvium after rhytidectomy, suggesting dermatologic surgeons consider preventive measures to minimize trauma and tension on hair follicles during surgery.

This review discusses the regenerative potential of platelet-rich plasma in military medicine applications, finding inconsistent but generally favorable outcomes across various conditions, including tendon and bone injuries.

This study demonstrates that a bioinspired peptide, PepACS, can efficiently and safely perm hair by interacting with keratin's sulfhydryl group without compromising tensile strength, and it shows potential for hair repair and dyeing applications in the hair care industry.

This study observed that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells cultured in three-dimensionally bioprinted hydrogels with higher stiffness, like 3A8G, tend to differentiate more into hair follicle cells compared to those in less stiff hydrogels, like 1A4G.

This study reported that despite the limited effectiveness of many current therapies for alopecia areata, patients face substantial financial burdens managing the condition, based on an analysis of ten studies involving approximately 16,000 patients.

This study found that combining 308-excimer phototherapy with intramuscular triamcinolone acetonide was effective and well tolerated for treating resistant alopecia totalis, showing a 90% overall response rate in the ten patients studied, with the best results observed in younger patients.

This study analyzed pexidartinib-associated adverse events from FDA data and reported common events such as hepatic issues and systemic reactions. It highlighted sex-specific susceptibilities and reinforced the need for risk mitigation and long-term monitoring in tenosynovial giant cell tumor management.

This study found that women with PCOS and factors like primary infertility, familial history of type 2 diabetes, and specific lipid profiles tend to have less favorable fertility treatment outcomes.

This study found that most Asian patients with androgenetic alopecia in Singapore sought treatment in their thirties primarily for cosmetic reasons, with a strong familial tendency indicating an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern.
