This case report noted that HIV-infected men who have sex with men are at a higher risk of syphilis, requiring careful staging and prolonged serologic monitoring to assess treatment success.

This article discusses various infection control practices necessary in dermatology to minimize exogenous infection risk and reports no new clinical results.

This review examines recent advances in understanding the pathophysiology and molecular mechanisms of androgenetic alopecia, highlighting two major genetic risk loci, but does not report new clinical findings.

The document concludes that there are still unknowns about the effectiveness, risks, and detection of performance-enhancing drugs, and doping remains a challenge.

This review discusses the isolation, characterization, and potential clinical applications of tissue-derived extracellular vesicles in cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment, noting their significance but highlighting the risks and need for appropriate protocols.

Keratins are crucial for cell structure, growth, and disease risk.

In this study, persistent ringworm infections in dairy calves appeared resistant to standard topical treatments and showed a potential risk of spreading to human attendants.

This study identified specific germline and somatic mutations in the Phospholipase C Delta 1 gene as high-risk factors for developing hereditary trichilemmal cysts, involving a monoallelic two-hit mechanism.

This study observed that 61.3% of helmets from online motorcycle taxi passengers in the Stasiun Tugu Yogyakarta area were contaminated with dermatophyte fungi, with higher contamination risk in helmets used over five years or infrequently cleaned.

This report on a case of alopecia areata in a mother and daughter with a 16-year gap suggests genetic predisposition and environmental triggers rather than direct transmission.

This case report describes two siblings with gray patch tinea capitis, highlighting exposure to cats and inappropriate corticosteroid use as risk factors, and treatment with griseofulvin and terbinafine.

This review discusses the various phenotypes and diagnostic challenges of polycystic ovary syndrome, highlighting its complex pathophysiology and associated health risks, and reports no new clinical results.

This review suggests that understanding the biological and molecular reasons for more severe COVID-19 in men, particularly those at risk for prostate cancer, could improve management of these patients, but reports no new results.

This systematic review reports that "COVID toes" and other skin manifestations can be initial signs of COVID-19, and advises immunosuppressive therapy adjustments only for infected or at-risk patients.

Most dermatologic medications are safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but some should be avoided due to potential risks.

The authors describe drug repurposing as a promising strategy for finding new uses for existing drugs, noting it is efficient, cost-effective, and poses lower risks than traditional drug discovery processes, potentially aiding in the treatment of rare and difficult-to-treat diseases.

This article reviews the impact of natural fungal pathogens on laboratory animal research and reports no new results, calling attention to infection risks with dermatophytes, Candida, and pneumonia in immunocompromised rodents.

This case report from the study describes a dog suffering from dermatophytosis caused by Microsporum canis, presenting with alopecia on the neck and ear, illustrating the zoonotic risk of these fungal infections in both animals and humans, particularly in hot and humid climates.

This article reviews the uses, mechanisms, and side effects of valproate in treating bipolar disorder, noting its first-line status for several manic conditions but also highlighting serious risks such as fetal abnormalities.

This study found that finasteride treatment in male rats altered steroid hormone homeostasis and caused kidney damage, suggesting potential risks for patients with renal dysfunction on androgen or antiandrogen therapy.

In this study, selenium-rich diets enhanced antioxidant activity in aged mice, suggesting potential biological benefits, although further trials are needed to fully understand long-term risks and benefits.

This review discusses the potential link between androgen deficiency and increased COVID-19 severity in aging men, but reports no new clinical results; it suggests that low testosterone levels may pose a risk factor.

This study found that the majority of UK clinics market stem cell treatments ethically questionably, often omitting risk information, exaggerating effectiveness, and using celebrity testimonials.

This review examines the sexual side effects of 5α-reductase inhibitors like finasteride, highlighting the increased risk of erectile dysfunction, libido reduction, and potential contribution to depression without new clinical findings.

This systematic review found that 5%–10% of COVID-19 cases develop long-term sequelae like neurocognitive impairment and cardiovascular damage, with higher risks in women and severe cases. Vaccination may reduce these risks, but further evidence is needed to confirm its efficacy.
