This study by Arthritis Ireland highlights that individuals living with lupus in Ireland face widespread impacts on daily life, work, and mental health, with 70% experiencing frequent flares despite 93% being on medication; 45% also reported significant medication side effects.

COVID-19 can cause long-term skin problems and has changed how skin doctors work.

This literature review reports prevalent sexual dysfunctions, notably vaginal dryness, in women undergoing endocrine therapy for hormone-dependent breast cancer, highlighting the need for more multidisciplinary research and care to improve patient well-being.

Two new compounds can block androgen receptor activity in different ways and may lead to new treatments for androgen-related diseases.

Pharmacists play a crucial role in customizing treatments and ensuring medication safety.

This study estimates the global ginseng market at $2.084 billion, with Korea as the largest distributor, reflecting a trend of growing interest in alternative medicine and health foods.

This study found that penetration enhancer-containing vesicles significantly improved minoxidil delivery to the skin compared to traditional liposomes and penetration enhancer-containing ethanolic solutions, with deformability linked to enhanced deposition.

This study found that ethinylestradiol and high-dose cyproterone acetate significantly reduced hirsutism scores and were effective for treating acne and alopecia in women with hyperandrogenism.

This case series suggests a possible, though likely very rare, association between vaccinations and hair loss, calling for further research in more defined populations.

This study found that 5α-reductase inhibitors significantly increase the risk of erectile dysfunction and hypoactive sexual desire in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia, compared to placebo.

In this systematic review and meta-analysis, methotrexate and leflunomide were compared for treating rheumatoid arthritis, showing similar efficacy overall. Methotrexate reduced swollen joints more effectively, while leflunomide was associated with fewer gastrointestinal side effects but more frequent liver enzyme increases.

This study found that combining low-level light therapy with topical minoxidil 5% may lead to better hair regrowth and patient satisfaction in treating female pattern hair loss compared to using each treatment alone.

This study found that both alopecia areata and androgenetic alopecia moderately reduced the quality of life for Chinese patients, especially in younger individuals and those experiencing hair loss for over a year.

In this analysis, safety data from two clinical trials showed that baricitinib for severe alopecia areata had predictable side effects like infections and elevated CPK, with some serious adverse events noted at low incidence rates; no deaths were reported.

In this study, Gaussian process regression models combined with Grey Wolf optimization were used to predict and optimize phenolic and flavonoid content extraction from Carthamus caeruleus L. rhizomes, showing high accuracy and helping improve understanding and extraction processes through a new interactive tool.

This study reported that Ell-Cranell® alpha 0.025% solution significantly increased hair counts and diameter in Korean women with female pattern hair loss over an 8-month period, showing both efficacy and safety.

This study found that dutasteride 0.5 mg was generally well-tolerated and led to overall improvement in male patients aged 18 to 41 with androgenic alopecia in a Korean clinical practice setting.

This report describes a Danish family with autosomal dominant hypotrichosis, where affected members experienced gradual diffuse hair loss leading to near-total scalp alopecia by ages 14-21.

In this study, minoxidil was found to suppress the activity of normal human T-lymphocytes in vitro, though the physiological relevance of this effect remains uncertain.

This study found that formulation factors like pH, viscosity, and chemical enhancers can significantly influence intrafollicular hydrocortisone permeation in vitro, with higher pH and enhancers reducing follicular contribution.

This study suggests that cancer risk may be influenced by the balance of pro- and anti-oncogenic mutants in normal tissues rather than by the total number of mutations.

This study found that red-flowered cultivars of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis displayed the highest antioxidant activity, phenolic, and flavonoid content compared to other colored cultivars.

This study in male mice found that testosterone provides strong protection against skin necrosis after ischemia, working through its estrogenic and androgenic derivatives to enhance skin survival and revascularization, with 17β-estradiol being notably more effective than dihydrotestosterone.

This study reports that scalp biopsies in white adults usually have 16.5 hair follicles, primarily in the anagen phase, with male samples showing fewer follicular units but more fibrous tracts in certain areas.

This letter discusses the limited adaptation of low dose oral minoxidil for androgenetic alopecia in North America and reports no new clinical results; the authors suggest safety concerns or unclear dosing may be factors.

This study provides evidence that long-term deregulation of the circadian rhythm in humans affects the regenerative properties of skin and hair precursor cells by altering clock pathway protein expression.

This review discusses topical calcineurin inhibitors for cutaneous lupus erythematosus and reports no new clinical findings; the authors emphasize the need for more comparative studies with corticosteroids.

This study reported that intralesional triamcinolone acetonide was more effective than intralesional PRP for treating scalp alopecia areata, with minimal recurrence and side effects like atrophy and hypopigmentation.

This case report describes a testosterone- and cortisol-secreting adrenocortical oncocytoma causing hirsutism in a 23-year-old woman, highlighting adrenal oncocytomas as an important consideration for differential diagnosis.
