This study suggests that the use of 5α-reductase inhibitors in men may be associated with macular abnormalities, characterized by cystoid changes and foveal cavitation, potentially progressing to more severe defects.

This study found that C. obtusa oils promoted hair growth in shaved mice and increased the expression of a hair growth regulator, VEGF, in a cell line.

Minoxidil improves blood flow and vessel flexibility, potentially helping with vascular stiffness.

This article reviews the classification and treatments of vascular anomalies, such as hemangiomas and vascular malformations, and reports no new clinical results; it emphasizes the importance of managing patient expectations due to treatment limitations.

This report advances the hypothesis that finasteride and dutasteride inhibit 5α-reductase activities, potentially altering steroid metabolism and increasing the risk of insulin resistance, diabetes, and vascular disease.

In this study, sensorineural hearing loss was significantly more frequent in patients with alopecia areata compared to healthy controls, suggesting a relationship between the autoimmune condition and hearing function.

In this study of Irish adults with morbid obesity, skin tags were associated with higher blood pressure, HbA1c levels, and a greater prevalence of diabetes and hypertension, indicating increased cardiovascular risk.

This study reviewed the prospects and challenges of using stem cells from adipose tissue in regenerative medicine for facial rejuvenation, emphasizing the need for further research to ensure patient safety before these methods can become routine in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery.

Chemotherapy can cause significant hair thinning and changes in hair texture, while tamoxifen has a smaller effect.

This review classifies mutant mice with hair abnormalities into six categories, providing an annotated table that serves as a reference for understanding the molecular controls of hair growth.

This study described specific skin and hair follicle abnormalities in three Japanese patients with Cantu syndrome, which may relate to the regulation role of SUR2 in hair follicle growth.

A boy with toxic shock syndrome had severe heart rhythm problems but recovered with treatment.

In this study, patients receiving adipose-derived stromal vascular cell transplantation for alopecia areata experienced significant hair regeneration, increased growth, and improved hair quality after 3 and 6 months, indicating potential efficacy of this stem cell-based therapy for hair loss.

In this study, dermoscopic examination of COVID-19 patients revealed significant microvascular changes in the proximal nailfold, such as avascular areas and disorganized capillary architecture, compared to healthy controls, with some regression of these changes observed over time.

This review summarizes that polyesters hold promise for vascular tissue engineering due to their mechanical properties and biodegradability, but optimizing their use in repairing damaged blood vessels remains challenging due to the complexity of vascular tissues.

This dissertation investigated barriers to clinical translation of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell-based vascular grafts, highlighting issues with thrombosis in diabetic patients and proposing alternative cell sources to improve applicability.

This report describes the third known case of lipedematous scalp in a 51-year-old woman, marked by progressive thickening of the scalp without hair loss, and notes its association with early meningitis symptoms.

In this study, CD34-positive progenitor cells in irradiated salivary glands were observed to potentially aid in blood vessel formation and remodeling, suggesting their role in tissue healing after radiotherapy.

In this study, Irish adults with severe obesity who had cervical or axillary skin tags showed higher systolic blood pressure, higher HbA1c levels, and more diabetes and hypertension, suggesting an increased vascular risk.

Vitamin D deficiency is common in women with PCOS and linked to some metabolic problems, but not the main cause of their metabolic issues.

In this study, researchers suggest that strategic early intervention during fetal wound healing could lead to significantly improved long-term skin regeneration outcomes.

This review discusses how women with PCOS have an increased risk of insulin resistance and cardiometabolic features regardless of body fat, and calls for targeted prevention and management strategies.

This case report describes a 10-year-old girl with a cosmetically concerning forehead lesion and a history of right frontal headaches, featuring a small palpable and pulsatile erythematous lesion with associated macular erythema.

This source describes the development, structure, and types of skin appendage tumors, noting both benign and malignant forms, potential associations with syndromes, and categories based on follicular differentiation.

A boy with a rare birthmark called verrucous hemangioma needed careful timing for surgery due to its size and depth.

This study found that doxorubicin disrupts hair-follicle-associated blood vessels, which may contribute to hair follicle dystrophy and alopecia in mice, but hair-follicle stem cells remained unaffected.

This study reported that targeted anticancer therapies are associated with an increased risk of alopecia compared to placebo, although the risk was lower compared to chemotherapy.

This review discusses the skin side effects associated with targeted cancer therapies and reports no new clinical results; it emphasizes the need for empirical management based on expert opinion.

This study found that repetitive 532 nm laser therapy significantly decreased scores for macules, pigmented, and vascular lesions on the facial area, regardless of skin phototype or age.

Targeted therapies for lung cancer are effective but require careful management of side effects to benefit patients.
