This study found that long-term minoxidil treatment, despite improving hemodynamics and left ventricular function, was associated with more frequent clinical events and a poorer clinical course in patients with chronic left ventricular failure.

In this study, 1 mg/day finasteride lowered serum PSA concentration in men aged 40–60, suggesting that PSA adjustment recommendations for prostate cancer screening using 5 mg/day finasteride should also apply to this lower dose for hair loss treatment.

This study developed the Alopecia Areata Investigator Global Assessment (AA-IGA) to measure scalp-hair loss in alopecia areata patients, incorporating perspectives of both patients and clinicians to define treatment success.

This study suggests that botanical 5AR inhibitors like Serenoa repens and β-sitosterol may improve symptoms of androgenetic alopecia, with 60% of treated subjects showing improvement compared to placebo.

This study found that 60% of men with mild to moderate androgenetic alopecia showed improvement after treatment with botanically derived 5AR inhibitors, suggesting these compounds may be effective, though larger trials are needed.

This study concluded that 5α-reductase inhibitors were linked to increased sexual dysfunction in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia, but not in men with androgenetic alopecia.

This study observed that topical flutamide may be as effective as hydroquinone for treating melasma, with a trend towards greater improvement and patient satisfaction, but recommends further research before clinical use.

This study found that curcumin may improve glycemic control and certain aspects of lipid metabolism in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome.

In this study, researchers found that a polyphenolic extract from Annurca apples, high in procyanidin B2, increased hair growth, density, and keratin content in healthy subjects after 2 months of use, and stimulated keratin biosynthesis in vitro.

This study found that using an oral contraceptive with bicalutamide significantly reduced hirsutism in women with PCOS compared to an oral contraceptive alone, although it increased total cholesterol and LDL levels.

This review found that the only PCOS-specific quality of life measure, the PolyCystic Ovary Syndrome Questionnaire, has an incomplete development history and lacks some essential measurement properties for clinical trial use.

This review found that low-level laser therapy significantly increased hair density in adults with androgenic alopecia compared to sham treatments, with greater effects observed at lower treatment frequencies.

This study found that 5% minoxidil topical foam was effective in stabilizing hair density and scalp coverage in men with moderate androgenetic alopecia over 104 weeks, with good safety and tolerability.

This study found that local platelet-rich plasma injection improved mid-term outcomes for carpal tunnel syndrome more effectively than other conservative treatments, although long-term effects and standardization need further research.

This study found that statin treatment significantly reduced androgen levels and improved symptoms of hyperandrogenism, such as hirsutism and acne, in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

This review analyzed 12 clinical studies on extracellular vesicle therapies, finding potential benefits for skin aging, acne scars, alopecia, and wound healing, but highlighted significant challenges like production standardization and lack of large-scale studies.

This study found no significant difference in the severity of alopecia areata between treatments with platelet-rich plasma and triamcinolone acetonide; further high-quality trials of PRP are needed.

This meta-analysis reports that intrauterine autologous platelet-rich plasma infusion improved outcomes like endometrial thickness and clinical pregnancy rate in women with thin endometrium, but further large-scale trials are needed to confirm these findings.

This study found that a modest increase in dietary zinc over six months resulted in a detectable increase in sulfur and zinc counts in individual hairs, suggesting a non-invasive method to monitor zinc intake effects.

This meta-analysis found that autologous epidermal cell suspensions reduce healing time, donor site size, operation time, pain scores, and complications in skin lesions. However, their impact on treatment area size, repigmentation, scar scale scores, and patient satisfaction was minimal.

This study reported that anti-androgens combined with lifestyle modifications were more effective than metformin and lifestyle in reducing hirsutism and certain hormonal measures in women with PCOS, but they were not more effective than a placebo combined with lifestyle changes.

This study found that ginger supplementation significantly improved persistent hypothyroid symptoms and may aid in weight and lipid profile management in hypothyroid patients with normal TSH levels.

This study found that oral contraceptives containing cyproterone acetate significantly improved the overall quality of life in polycystic ovary syndrome patients after 6 months compared to those containing levonorgestrel.

This study found that treatment with the synbiotic SIM01 significantly alleviated multiple symptoms of post-acute COVID-19 syndrome compared to placebo, suggesting potential management benefits through gut microbiome modulation.

This study found that among Chinese males with male androgenic alopecia, combination therapy using topical minoxidil and nano-microneedle-assisted fibroblast growth factor significantly improved hair density, diameter, and follicular unit density over 16 weeks, outperforming individual treatments.

This study found that a 14-day treatment with proxalutamide significantly reduced the 28-day mortality rate in hospitalized COVID-19 patients compared to placebo, with greater benefits observed among those who adhered to the treatment.

In this study, the authors reported that dutasteride significantly reduced total remission time for COVID-19 symptoms in men compared to placebo, especially for fatigue and loss of taste or smell.

In this double-blind, randomized controlled study, researchers found that Wen by Chaz Dean Sweet Almond Mint Cleansing Conditioner was similarly tolerated compared to three other hair cleansing conditioners and was significantly better tolerated than salicylic acid shampoo or baby shampoo in terms of skin reactions.

This study found that Ritlecitinib significantly reduced hair loss in patients with alopecia areata by lowering SALT scores at weeks 12 and 24 compared to placebo, with acceptable safety but increased minor side effects like headaches and acne.

This study found that treating asymptomatic or mild COVID-19 with cepharanthine did not significantly reduce the time to a negative test result, though 60 mg/day showed a non-significant trend needing further validation.
