This study concluded that both vaginal TEST and Estring may be effective for treating vaginal dryness in breast cancer patients on aromatase inhibitors, with adverse events being rare and manageable.

In a laboratory study on guinea pigs, Kepok banana peel extract serum at a 30% concentration showed promising effectiveness for hair growth, with results close to those of 5% minoxidil®, suggesting it could be a viable hair care alternative.

In this study, high-dose oral administration of Ramania leaf ethanol extract in Wistar rats resulted in no significant acute toxicity symptoms, though gastric ulcers and hair loss were observed. The extract is classified as non-toxic under specified guidelines, with an LD50 greater than 5000 mg/kg.

In this research on cinnamon and virgin coconut oil hair tonics, F2 and F3 demonstrated stable physical properties and mild irritation potential, while formula 1 remained non-irritating but less stable regarding pH and viscosity.

This source reports that two noninvasive tests, the pull test and a modified wash test, can help diagnose and determine the severity of different types of hair loss in women by assessing hair shedding and characteristics, offering a simple and cost-effective evaluation method.

This study found that finasteride treatment in male rats may lead to changes in connexin 43 expression in the testes of their offspring, potentially affecting spermatogenesis.

This study found no significant differences in hair growth between two formulas of hair tonic from meniran extract, one with a menthol enhancer, despite variations in hair length and weight measurements.

In this study, the combination of binahong leaf and lemongrass extracts was found to effectively inhibit the growth of the dandruff-causing fungus Pityrosporum ovale, with the strongest fungal growth inhibition observed at a 50% concentration of each extract.

This chapter describes two simple, noninvasive methods — the pull test and modified wash test — which can diagnose and assess the severity of female hair loss, including conditions like telogen effluvium and androgenetic alopecia.

This study aimed to identify possible associations between a hair pull test and various pathological, biochemical, and hematological parameters in Czech patients with different types of alopecia.

This study found that Finasteride at doses of 5 mg or higher may reduce the expression of key spermatogenesis biomarkers, potentially impacting male fertility in mice.

This study found that a refined wash test can effectively differentiate shedding hair characteristics among normal individuals, and patients with androgenetic alopecia or telogen effluvium, aiding in diagnosis and monitoring.

This study found that Mueller-Hinton Agar performed better than Dermasel Agar for antifungal susceptibility testing of feline dermatophytes, providing reliable susceptibility data for effective antifungal therapy.

In this study, the NADES extract of mangkokan leaves (Polyscias scutellaria) demonstrated antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, with a total flavonoid content measured at 4.944 mgEQ/gSimplisia using the disc diffusion method.

This study found that a green tea extract gel was stable across various temperatures, did not cause eye irritation, and significantly increased eyelash growth compared to a placebo after two months of use in human volunteers.

This study used a multi-point tension test method to evaluate hair damage over time and found it useful for assessing the effects of cosmetics and metal content on hair strength.

This study found that both a botanical extract and minoxidil significantly downregulated IL-1α gene expression in HaCaT cells, with the botanical extract causing a greater decrease.

This study found that the modified wash test was generally more effective than TrichoScan® for diagnosing hair loss, particularly telogen effluvium, though both methods showed only fair concordance with clinical diagnosis.

In a cell-free test setting, this study found that a novel saw palmetto extract effectively inhibited the 5α-reductase type II enzyme, showing promising bioactivity comparable to finasteride for promoting prostate health.

In this study, red ginger extract gel showed stronger hair growth activity in male rats compared to a 2% minoxidil treatment, while white ginger extract was less effective.

This study found that a hair tonic containing 40% broccoli stalks extract was more effective in promoting hair growth in male white rats compared to lower concentrations, while also maintaining stable physical characteristics and safety during testing.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome have more pronounced metabolic alterations and higher androgen levels compared to women with eumenorrheic hyperandrogenism, suggesting EuHyperA may be a milder form of PCOS.

In this study, Avemor, a tonic containing aloe vera and moringa oleifera, along with varying concentrations of dried moringa leaf extracts, was tested on rabbits for hair growth, but the results showed variable effectiveness compared to a minoxidil control.

This study concluded that hair tonic formulations using extracts of green tea leaves, celery leaves, or their combination can effectively promote hair growth in guinea pigs, with the fastest growth seen using a 2.5% green tea to 7.5% celery leaf extract ratio.

This study found that a mixture of 80% coconut oil and 20% candlenut oil effectively stimulated hair development in Wistar rats, which may be attributed to the high lauric acid content in coconut oil.

This study found that a 5% concentration of terentang stem bark extract was the most effective in promoting hair growth in male rabbits.

This study found that the ethanol patch test effectively indicates the ALDH phenotype in healthy Japanese individuals, suggesting its usefulness for future research.

The 1% ethyl acetate fraction ethosomal gel from Nothopanax scutellarium leaves promotes hair growth but can mildly irritate the skin.

In this study, the genotoxic effects of the 2020 harmful algal bloom event were linked to specific toxic algal groups affecting Tradescantia plants, making Trad-SHM and Trad-MN tests suitable for evaluating HABs' toxic potential.

This study found that a combination of cantigi and henna leaf extracts, in a 1:2 ratio, demonstrated the strongest antioxidant activity with an IC50 value of 29.85 µg/mL.
