This study determined that men taking finasteride 1 mg/day exhibited significantly reduced sperm production and morphology compared to controls, although there were no notable changes in hormonal, sexual, or psychological function.

This study found that men taking 1 mg/day of finasteride had significantly reduced sperm production and morphology but similar hormonal, sexual, and psychological profiles compared to controls, suggesting finasteride affects semen quality without altering other physiological functions.

This study found that older age at puberty may be associated with lower semen quality and altered reproductive hormone levels in young men, though only some results were statistically significant.

This meta-analysis found that among topical OTC treatments for male androgenetic alopecia, minoxidil 5% applied twice daily was the most effective in increasing total hair density over 24 weeks.

This study found that among bodybuilder-intended drugs from the black market, 33.8% of labeled products and 52.5% of steroidal oily solutions contained ingredients not matching their labels.

This case report describes the first known instance of a testosterone-secreting steroid cell ovarian tumor causing pulmonary embolism and erythrocytosis in a postmenopausal woman, highlighting its potential role as a rare cause of hypercoagulable state.

This study reports that Broussonetia papyrifera extract significantly increased hair count over 12 weeks in a small clinical trial and promoted dermal papilla cell proliferation in vitro by regulating WNT-β-catenin and STAT6 pathways.

In this study, administering 5alpha-reductase inhibitors reduced dihydrotestosterone levels and was associated with mild, reversible decreases in semen parameters in healthy men.

This study found that combining intralesional PTX and corticosteroids may enhance treatment outcomes for alopecia areata, with PTX showing better long-term effects compared to corticosteroids alone.

This study suggests that a mild intramuscular dose of botulinum toxin improved spermatogenesis and sperm parameters in ageing mice.

This study highlights the need for a comprehensive andrological assessment at diagnosis, including semen and hormonal analysis, to guide fertility preservation strategies, and found that post-orchidectomy semen samples showed improved DNA integrity for assisted reproductive technologies.

Lacto-fermentation changes amino acid profiles in bovine colostrum, but results are inconsistent.

This case report suggests that clomiphene citrate can effectively restore fertility in some men with a long history of anabolic steroid abuse, though individual responses to treatment vary.

This review discusses the impact of social media on dermatology, highlighting both the potential benefits for engagement and the risks of spreading misinformation; no clinical results are reported.

This study suggests that the emulsion extract of brevilin A from Centipeda minima may stimulate hair regrowth in individuals with mild to moderate vertex balding by inhibiting JAK3.

This study reports that emotion recognition technology integrated with intelligent devices is advancing applications to support emotion recognition and interventions, though further research is needed for effective use in dynamic or complex environments.

This study found that minoxidil absorption through the skin increased with longer contact times, reaching over 75% of the maximum absorption within four hours.

This case report indicates that contact dermatitis on the face can result from using a bleaching ointment containing ammonium bisulfite during hair-dyeing.

This study found that a significant portion of counterfeit drugs seized among bodybuilders did not match their labels, with many containing undeclared anabolic steroids or other unexpected active ingredients.

This study found that loss of contact between the arrector pili muscle and the hair follicle bulge may explain why hair loss in male and female pattern baldness is largely irreversible, unlike in alopecia areata.

In this study, researchers used a murine model of irritant contact dermatitis to reveal that hair follicle regions serve as key sites for neutrophil transepidermal migration, which requires MMP-9 expression stimulated by dermal monocytes.

This study found that radiofrequency radiation from mobile phone use may increase DNA damage in hair follicle cells of the ear canal, with greater exposure duration linked to higher damage levels.

Finasteride may improve sperm count in subfertile men with low sperm count.

This study found that Carthamus tinctorius exhibited the strongest 5α-reductase inhibitory and hair growth promoting activities among evaluated Thai herbs, suggesting potential for developing alternative hair loss treatments.

The cause of alopecia areata was unknown, and while various treatments existed, no best treatment was agreed upon.

This article describes a case of possible kerosene and diesel-induced skin injury in an asylum seeker and presents a template for dermatological assessments in similar cases, but reports no new clinical findings.

This research focuses on alopecia areata, highlighting the psychological impact, especially of its variant alopecia areata incognita, and provides diagnostic and treatment tips, but does not report specific results.

This study found that discontinuing finasteride led to a significant increase in sperm counts for most men with reduced fertility, though hormone levels and other semen parameters remained unchanged.

This special issue contains abstracts from the ASA 40th Annual Meeting, providing an overview of various studies without reporting new primary results.
