This review discusses the drug treatment of benign prostatic syndrome, highlighting the efficacy of combination therapies over monotherapies in patients at high risk for disease progression, but notes increased side effects and costs.

Dutasteride is more effective than finasteride for hair growth, and pregabalin effectively treats neuropathic pain.

This study found that Anovlar effectively reduced pain in severe dysmenorrhea cases and regulated cycles in oligomenorrhea patients, but some side effects and occasional treatment failures were reported.

This study found that several newly synthesized dihydrobenzopyran compounds inhibited insulin secretion and had vasorelaxant activity, with some more potent than reference KATP channel activators, though compound 21 functioned as a Ca2+ entry blocker.

Medroxyprogesterone acetate improved sleep apnea symptoms in some obese patients.

This study found that midazolam, unlike clonazepam, increased neurosteroid levels and affected synaptic inhibition and plasticity in rat hippocampal neurons, suggesting unique actions via dual receptor activation.

In this study, researchers isolated new compounds from the plant *Calanthe cardioglossa* and found that five of these compounds, particularly calancardin B, significantly reduced TNF-α levels in immune cells relevant to multiple sclerosis, suggesting potential for immunomodulatory effects.

In this study, oral dienogest combined with ethinylestradiol provided effective contraception with a Pearl Index of approximately 0.2 and improved androgenic symptoms without significant metabolic effects.

This study found that the synthesized compound 7b exhibited higher 5α-reductase inhibitory activity, increased solubility, and dissolution compared to finasteride, suggesting its potential as a lead compound for benign prostatic hyperplasia treatment.

This study found that a synthetic avicequinone C analogue, 5e, was significantly more potent in inhibiting steroid 5α-reductase type 1 activity in human keratinocytes compared to the original isolated compound.

This study identified neuropilin-1 as the receptor for FOL-026 and showed that it stimulates angiogenesis and cell growth, suggesting potential for vascular repair and enhanced angiogenesis therapies.

This study found that finasteride reduced impulsivity in a rat model of pramipexole-induced probability discounting, possibly by normalizing D3 receptor expression in the nucleus accumbens.

This study found that blocking GABA(A) receptors in cat dorsal horn neurons increased evoked activity and background discharge, highlighting differences in inhibitory control systems compared to glycine receptors.

This study reported that a novel nanomedicine combining berberine and sinapic acid significantly inhibited the growth of mouse mammary carcinoma cells and demonstrated an anti-tumor effect in vivo, without significant systemic toxicity after 28 days, suggesting a promising, low-toxicity therapeutic strategy for breast cancer.

In this study, two male patients with androgenetic alopecia who had previously undergone hair transplants showed increased hair regrowth after receiving verteporfin injections, with a 63% mean increase in dense donor sites, 38% in thinning areas, but no growth in bald areas.

In this study, researchers synthesized nine new nicotinamide derivative compounds and found that one, identified as N4, exhibited significant cytotoxic effects on MCF-7 breast cancer cells, while other derivatives demonstrated notable antibacterial, antifungal, and antibiofilm activities.

This opinion article reviews various pathways through which onabotulinumtoxinA might work in medical treatments, highlighting applications beyond muscle paralysis, including pain inhibition and potential effects on hair loss and cancer cell apoptosis.

This study found that antisense oligonucleotides can significantly reduce androgen receptor expression in cultured human sebocytes and may offer new therapeutic possibilities for androgen-associated skin diseases.

This study found that the peptide derivative beta-Ala-Pro-Dab-NHbenzyl may reduce wrinkles and sebum production in human skin by inhibiting dipeptidyl peptidase 4, suggesting potential for acne and skin inflammation treatment.

This article reviews the clinical applications of botulinum toxin, highlighting its effectiveness in treating various pain conditions like diabetic neuropathy and chronic migraines and noting future research should focus on enhancing safety and efficacy.

In this study, deer hair follicles were shown to be an effective in vitro bioassay model, demonstrating that K(ATP) channel modulators directly influence hair follicle growth through specific channel types.

This study suggests that the progesterone metabolite allopregnanolone and progesterone regulate distinct gene sets involved in glioblastoma cell proliferation, with some overlapping effects modified by finasteride.

This study observed that MIRV improved gastrointestinal symptoms and other quality of life measures in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer compared to chemotherapy.

This study reported that certain newly synthesized steroidal derivatives showed stronger inhibitory activity against the 5α-reductase enzyme than finasteride in hamsters, suggesting their potential as enzyme inhibitors.

This abstract details known indications, categories, and potential reactions for various drugs, including anorexiants, estrogens, NSAID analgesics, cardiac glycosides, and migraine preventives, without reporting new clinical results.

This study reports that novel hexahydrobenzoquinolin compounds fully inhibited 5α-reductase activity in human genital skin fibroblasts, suggesting their potential for treating conditions like benign prostatic hyperplasia and male pattern baldness.

This review discusses the potential of plant-derived nanovesicles as natural therapeutics and drug delivery platforms in cancer therapy, highlighting their versatility and promising applications, but reports no new clinical results.
