This review discusses a new multidisciplinary guideline for treating male hypogonadism and emphasizes a comprehensive approach but reports no new experimental results.

This study found that low-level laser therapy may improve hair growth in patients with androgenetic alopecia, either as a standalone treatment or combined with minoxidil or finasteride, without reported adverse reactions.

This study reported that a single treatment with a short-pulsed 755-nm alexandrite laser effectively treated trichostasis spinulosa in patients with skin types II to V, providing rapid results with minimal pain and no recurrence during a 3-month follow-up.

In this study, researchers found that the thyroxine receptor agonist TDM10842 accelerated the onset of anagen, a hair growth phase, in C3H mice, potentially through activation of the Wnt/beta-catenin and Hedgehog pathways, with Pclaf playing a key role in this process.

In this report, an 18-year-old female with trichotillomania was successfully treated using the glutamate modulator n-acetylcysteine.

This study suggests that supplemental testosterone therapy in men with hepatitis C virus may be associated with a modest reduction in hepatocellular carcinoma risk, challenging concerns about its potential to increase cancer risk.

This article reviews the genetic and phenotypic characteristics of Trichothiodystrophy and discusses the associated DNA repair defects, but does not report new clinical findings.

This report details two cases of Lichen spinulosus in the submental area, treated effectively and safely with topical tacalcitol cream.

This source reports that a comprehensive review of LSS gene variant phenotypes enhances understanding of congenital hypotrichosis 14 and could guide more precise genetic counseling and future research into disease mechanisms and potential therapies.

In this case report, an 11-year-old girl with hypothyroidism was found to have Hashimoto thyroiditis after presenting with hair loss, short stature, and pubertal disturbances; the study emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and personalized thyroid hormone therapy for better outcomes.

This study found that mice deficient in the enzyme cathepsin L exhibited impaired degradation of autophagolysosomal content, leading to an accumulation of large, abnormal vesicles in various tissues.

This study found that expressions of TLR-3, TLR-7, TLR-8, and TLR-9 were significantly higher in alopecia areata patients compared to healthy controls, indicating a potential role in disease autoimmunity.

The researchers reported a case of falsely elevated testosterone in a teen, due to immunoassay interference, demonstrating that liquid chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry provides more accurate testosterone measurement, emphasizing the need for thorough analysis when clinical results are inconsistent.

This study concluded that patients with chronic telogen effluvium had significantly lower levels of serum ferritin and lactoferrin compared to controls, suggesting potential benefits of supplementation.

Most patients with Tuberous sclerosis had neurological or skin issues, and over half had psychiatric problems.

This case report describes common thyroid disorders in a β-thalassemia patient with frequent blood transfusions, emphasizing the need for monitoring thyroid function in such patients.

This review highlights the promising clinical outcomes of sacituzumab tirumotecan (sac-TMT), an antibody-drug conjugate for breast cancer that targets TROP2, demonstrating improved response rates and progression-free survival, with manageable safety concerns including primarily mild-to-moderate nausea and alopecia.

This study found that low-level laser therapy accelerates skin regeneration in gamma-irradiated mice and enhances the biostimulatory effect on hair follicles.

ICL is a condition with low CD4+ T cells like AIDS but not caused by HIV, and normal CD4+ T cell counts may vary between men and women.

In this study of HIV+ men with low CD4 and testosterone levels, testosterone replacement therapy significantly improved sexual interest, erectile functioning, and sexual satisfaction over an eight-week period.

This study found that a 532 nm laser at 15 J/cm² enhanced the proliferation and differentiation of tendon-derived stem cells in rats, potentially accelerating tendon healing through the up-regulation of Nr4a1.

Tacrolimus treatment for autoimmune hepatitis can cause hair loss.

This commentary highlights that the loss of the Y chromosome may disrupt UTY/TLE1-RUNX1 interactions, potentially impacting male hematopoietic cell development and leading to conditions like acute myeloid leukemia and T-cell acute lymphoblast leukemia.

Hormone therapy is safe and effective for transgender adults, but requires regular monitoring and mental health support.

This study found that the CYP3A4 rs4646437 genotype was significantly associated with ALT elevation in Japanese patients undergoing asunaprevir plus daclatasvir therapy for chronic HCV infection, suggesting genotyping may help in monitoring patients safely.

This article reviews the use of cross-sex hormonal therapy in transmen and reports that it is reasonably safe, suggesting monitoring should be frequent initially but can be less frequent over time.

Stopping methotrexate might reverse lymphoma-like conditions in some patients.

In this study, gelatin-coated transferosomes were developed to deliver tofacitinib specifically to hair follicles, resulting in 80% hair regrowth in alopecia areata patients with recalcitrant lesions after 12 weeks of treatment.

This study observed that temporal triangular alopecia in infants presents with distinct clinical and dermatoscopic features, indicating the usefulness of dermatoscopy for diagnosis and differential diagnosis.
