This study concluded that isolated trichotillomania of the eyebrows and eyelashes, identified by specific hair characteristics, may be linked to underlying obsessive-compulsive disorders in affected patients.

This study found that topical minoxidil solution is a safe treatment for androgenetic alopecia, with no increase in cardiovascular events or adverse pregnancy outcomes observed.

This review discusses the impact of COVID-19 on the endocrine system and reports no clinical results; the authors emphasize the need to investigate endocrine damage during and after COVID-19 infection.

The researchers suggest that testosterone levels might influence COVID-19 susceptibility and severity, with low levels potentially protecting against infection but possibly worsening severe disease due to cytokine storm activation.

This review discusses the link between androgen receptor action and TMPRSS2 expression in severe COVID-19, exploring the potential of anti-androgens to mitigate disease severity in men and notes ongoing trials.

This study reviews the mechanisms by which SARS-CoV-2 may impact male fertility, noting potential disruptions in spermatogenesis and hormone secretion, and underscores the need for follow-up in recovered men.

This review discusses sex differences in immune responses to COVID-19 and highlights that males tend to experience more severe symptoms and higher mortality but reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses targeting host cell proteases as a novel approach to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 infection, highlighting transcriptional modulation and enzymatic inhibition as promising therapeutic strategies, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This study explores how SARS-CoV-2 interacts with endocrine organs and highlights specific endocrine molecules that help explain the progression and outcomes of COVID-19, especially in patients with certain metabolic conditions.

Recurrent furunculosis can be managed with antibiotics, decolonization, and decontamination, with potential future use of vaccines and bacteriophage therapy.

This study found that androgen deprivation therapy in prostate cancer patients was associated with fewer SARS-CoV-2 infections but did not reduce COVID-19 disease severity or hospitalizations.

Testosterone may both worsen and protect against COVID-19 effects in men.

This systematic review identified several factors contributing to increased cardiovascular risk in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, including insulin resistance, obesity, inflammation markers, and microbiota alterations linked to elevated trimethylamine-N-oxide levels.

This review examined the role of the ion channel TRPV3 in warmth sensation and skin physiology, discussing controversies around its direct contribution to temperature perception, its involvement in skin health, and its potential as a therapeutic target for skin diseases.

This study found that the orally disintegrating tablet and standard tablet formulations of finasteride met bioequivalence criteria in fasting healthy adult male Han Chinese volunteers, although there was a significant difference in time to maximum concentration.

This review discusses gene polymorphisms in COVID-19 patients but reports no new clinical findings.

This study identified genetic loci and pathways associated with long hair growth in the Tianzhu white yak, providing new insights into the genetic mechanisms of this trait.

This article discusses the potential role of oral DHEA, available as a 'dietary supplement' in the US, in COVID-19 morbidity and mortality, calling for clinical trials to assess its safety.

This study found that injectable finasteride microspheres provided a sustained drug release with a minimal initial burst in albino rabbits compared to oral suspension.

This letter discusses how severe baldness in men is associated with higher risk of severe COVID-19, and highlights research suggesting antiandrogen medications may improve outcomes.

This study found that Minoxidil can interfere with hair drug analysis for cocaine by producing peaks that obscure the detection of cocaine and its metabolites in chromatograms.

This review highlights recent insights into using antiandrogens as preventive and therapeutic measures against COVID-19, emphasizing their role in blocking viral infection by modulating androgen-mediated host protease TMPRSS2 and cell entry protein ACE2, with varying success in clinical trials.

This study investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of a 940nm diode laser in Wistar rats with carrageenan-induced arthritis and found that a 74J/cm² energy density significantly reduced edema and restored function, whereas 171J/cm² neared thermal exposure limits for the skin.

This study found that PRP may effectively reduce TMJ pain and improve jaw function and quality of life in young adults with mild TMD.

This study identified that copper depletion in dermal papilla cells reduced hair growth by boosting ROS levels, but ROS scavengers like NAC and ascorbic acid partially alleviated this effect.

Androgen deprivation therapy might help prevent severe COVID-19, but more research is needed.

This analysis discusses the role of genetic factors, particularly male hormones and specific gene variants, in influencing sex differences and potential susceptibility to severe COVID-19 outcomes, but notes that conclusive evidence is lacking, highlighting the need for larger studies.

This study provides the first draft of the male Asiatic lion's whole genome, revealing low genomic diversity and highlighting conservation concerns.

This study demonstrated that the 5-mg generic finasteride tablet is bioequivalent to the original tablet when tested in healthy Thai male volunteers.

This review discusses the relationship between gut microbiota and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), including its potential mechanisms and the role of alterations in microbiome composition on PCOS pathophysiology.
